Early Hillsboro Days Are Recalled by John A. Minter, Who Crossed Plains With Parents; Lived South of Newton (Edward C. Robbins) PANNING the Tualatin river two miles south of Newton station is a framework viaduct that was built in the frontier days of Washington county. Three times within the mem ory of a fifty-year-old Hillsboro cit izen has Minter bridge been recon structed to meet the changing cur rent of the Tualatin and changes brought about in the natural evolu tion of traffic vehicles. “I can remember walking across the bridge as a barefoot boy," said John Alexander Minter. Recently Mr. Minter visited his old home and friends in the Hillsboro community. His home is now at Eagle Creek on the Crater Lake highway, 16 miles from Medford . Prior to their coming to the Ore gon country, Jacob and Mary Min ter resided in Iowa. It was near Des Moines that their son Jacob Alex ander wax born, April 19, 1849. There were three girls and two boys in the family. In 1854 the Minter family crossed the plains to Oregon by ox team. "We never had a bit of trouble en route," said Mr. Minter. “Not even receiving so much as a scratch. The train pulling up behind us lost heav ily from an Indian attack, as well as meeting with other misfortunes. “Our first winter in the Willam ette valley was spent in Yamhill county. In 1865 father moved his family to a farm south of Hillsboro in what is now referred to as the Minter bridge community. Our place centered on the south bank of the Tualatin, east of the south approach to the bridge. It was there that fath er farmed in the rich overflow land of the river. "The Tualatin flood plains makes the finest of soil. In the so-called bottomland we used to raise grain, vegetables, and other agricultural crops with great success. Orchards did very well." "Do you think there is a tendency to wear out the soil due to failure to understand scientific farming," he was asked? "I do,” he replied. "Especially was this true on father’s place, where the earn" crop was planted year after year." In his boyhood days here, Mr. Minter recalls the most pleasant mo ments of his life. Running, jumping and climbing the large trees of tho forest that once covered the Tuala tin plains were among the playtime events of the frontier life. Base, one of the most commonly played games of those boyhood days, was played by running and gradually eliminat- (Continued on Page Five) Many Prizes Taken by Local Outlook for Year Declared to An explanation of the voter's pam be Good by the Coach phlet will be made during the lec ture hour of the Hillsboro Grange SCHEDULE IS ANNOUNCED .Saturday afternoon and all who are interested are -invited to attend.

Farmers at State Fair MANY LOCAL PEOPLE GO Washington County Boys* and Girls* Club Members Re ceive Nine Bibbons Washington county did itself proud at the state fair at Salem last week, carrying off "honors in nearly every line of endeavor.
