Hillsboro has progressed in many
ways during the last few decades.
We have gotten away from muddy
business streets that were nearly
impassable. We have paved streets,
We have cement sidewalks. We
have the latest facilities in every
respect. The people of Hillsboro
have just voted in one of the most
able city administrations that we
have ever bad. Last year the voters
passed a new charter that was sup­
posed to give ample power to se­
complish ttlings. With the first of
the year we will look forward to
some real accomplishments. It is
hoped that ordinances will be pre­
pared and passed that will prevent
any such occurrence as that which
followed the partial destruction of
the big barn on Main street by fire
last spring. Courage and the will
to do the right will bring their
just reward.
Street lighting here is the same
as it was many years ago. It leads
passerby to gain the impression that
the town is in darkness. It is an
encouragement to the crook who
feels that he may get away under
cover of darkness. The expense of
lighting the business district is very-
slight and the business men of Hills­
boro are paying a heavy occupation
tax. What are they getting in re­
turn—very little in Police protec­
tion, lighting and other accommoda­
tions in comparison with what they
pay. A real system of street light­
ing is needed and wanted.

Thoughtlessness may sometimes
prove very serious. In the east two
men were killed when they drove
into a barricade placed on the high­
way by boys, as a Hallowe’en prank.
Boys will be boys, but there is a
limit to everything. A local man
was called to the bedside of his
mother in
McMinnville, Friday
night, and after evading several ob-
structions in the highway, he was
forced to take the ditch to avoid
hitting a large milk stand placed
in the road near Dilley, as a Hal­
lowe’en prank. He was delayed
several hours and so were others
who stopped to help him. The milk
stand was a large and heavy
concern,
and
if anyone
had
crashed into it the consequences
would undoubtedly have been re­
gretable. This trick wasn’t a joke.
Think of what might have happened.
As in every case the Golden Rule
applies here.

cats and witches welcomed every­
body everywhere.
The guests were all brought into
a partly -darkened room in which
many spooks and witches appeared
in all corners. Every guest was
masked. After all had arrived the
fun began with a grand march,
after which spooky stories and
spooky games were read and played.

"Hello, Doc," she said cordlatly. “I
haven't seen you for so long I almost
have forgotten how you comb your1
hair!“ Tripp laughed with her at
that; across the miles she could pic­
ture him running his big hand through
the rebellious shock. "Yes, I’m back
to stay, and from the looks of It I
didn't come away any too soon. What
was the trouble with you and Tre­
vors? What was the excuse for can­
ning yon?"
"Case of lung-worma.” he told her.
"Some of the calves, I don't know
just how many yet He Insisted on
my treating them the old way."

she said quickly. "And you Insisted
on chloroform?"
"You've hit it!" he exclaimed won-
deringly. "How'd you know?"
"I haven't been loafing on the Job
the laat six month#," she laughed.
*Tve been at the school at Davis and
hobnobbing with some of the univer­
sity men at Berkeley. They're doing
some great work there. Doc, I'll want
to talk to you about tt You're going
down there, expenses paid, to brush
up with a course or two this year.
Now. how soon can you get back
here?—Trevors? Oh. Trevors Is fired.
I'm running the ranch myself.
Business men of Portland put
up $300.000 to further the set­
tlement of land in Oregon. They
have carried on an extensive
campaign that would prove of
general
benefit
to
Oregon.
Other parts of the state are
profiting from this as a result,
Committees in various parts of
the state are cooperating with
the Portland chamber.
The
best part of the state (Wash­
ington. Yamhill and Polk coun­
ties) has done less to cooperate
than any other. This part of
the state has a more regular
prosperity than any other and
the possibilities have not even
been scratched. We might at
least show some action for ap­
preciation.
Sometime ago action was
started by Forest Grove to se­
cure a sign at Bertha, where the
Tualatin Valley highway turns
off. They asked the cooper­
ation of Hillsboro. A letter was
written, promising whatever aid
could be given. This was about
four months ago. The move-
inent was a good one. Nothing
more has been heard of it.
Strangers may still go on their
merry way over the large and
attractive stone bridge that leads
on to Newberg and other Yam­
hill county points. Washington
county has more to offer than
any of them. We should not be
ashamed of it, but rather should
be proud of it and let the world
know where the modern Garden
of Eden is located.
The Banks Tribune with Dean
Sellers as editor is fast developing
into one of the most attractive
country papers in the state. The
front page is made up neatly and
is varied, it is a good show window
for the editor. It is typical of the
town of Banks, which is making
great strides with paved streets,
electric lights, new buildings and
new homes.
Redecorate Bank
Workmen started in Saturday
to redecorate the Shute Savings
bank. An indirect lighting system
will be installed under the super­
vision of the Puget Sound Power
and Light company. The bank will
also be retinted.

“You've Hit 111 How Did You Know!"
Doc, I need a few men like you! Can
you come early tomorrow?—Tonight?
You’re a God-blessed brick! Yes, I’ll
stop that murderous sulphur treat­
ment If It Isn’t too late. Goodby."
She lost no time in calling for Bill
Crowdy, the man whom Trevors had
put into Tripp's place.
"By the way,“ she said when the
man with the voice which had sounded
so boyish In her ears answered again.
“who are you?"
“Ed Masters," he told her. ••Elee-
trlcian, you know."
“What are you doing this aft er-
noon?" she demanded sharply—"just
banging around the office? I’ll tell
you one thing, Ed Masters. If you are
one of the loaf-around kind you'd bet­
ter call for your time tonlgbt. If
there's anything for you to do, go do
It. Don't wait for Trevors. He's
gone. Yes. for good. You can report
to me here the first thing In
morning. Now send me Crowdy.”
"He's down In the hospital and
hospital phone Is out of order."
“And you’re an electrician, hang­
ing around for orders! That’s your
first job. Send the first man yon can
get your hands on to tell Crowdy I
say not to touch one of those calves
with the lung-worm. And not to do
anything else but get ready to talk
with me. I’ll be down in
In half an
hour.”
As she rode the five mile« down to
the office at "the Lower End. her
thoughts were constantly charged with
an appreciation of the wonders which
had been worked about her every­
where since that day, ten years ago,
when she had first come with Luke
Sanford to the original Blue Lake
ranch. Then there bad been only a
wild cattle-range, ten thousand acres
of brush, timber and uncultivated open
spaces. But Luke Sanford had seen
possibilities and had bought the whole
ten thousand acres, counting, from
the flrat .sight of It, npon acquiring
as soon as might be those other thou­
sands of acres which now made Blue
Lake ranch one of the blggeet of
western ventures.
