In spite of the showers attendance was practically the same as in former years and was esti mated by some ut close to 15,1100 people. A plea to keep faith with those countrymen who made the great sacrifice for our country in war that the Ideals of liberty and de mocrarcy should prevail to make this a greater and nobler country was made by B. F. Irvine, editor of the Oregon Journal, who spoke on the subject of “Good Citizenship,** nt the patriotic exercises in the au ditorium in the morning. The at tendance at the exercises was larger than in previous years. The Telegram in it* attack on Chief Justice John L. Rand in sev eral article* thi* week and last in directly criticized District Attorney I.. B. Tongue and Judge George R Bagley for their part in the suit of Martha Traver to divest the heir* of Edward L. Naylor of his $49,000 estate. The points brought out were the changes in position that naturally occur over a number of years. It said that when Naylor and Miss Traver were before the court on a charge of lewd and lascivious co habitation, Judge Bagley was their attorney and Mr. Tongue prosecut. d them. In later years whin Miss Traver filed suit for the Naylor es tate, the former prosecutor was her attorney, and her former lawyer was the judge sitting on the case. The lower court’s decision was for Miss Traver, but the case was car ried to th«1 supreme court, where it was pending at the time of the last primary election. Justice Rand ap proved the decision of the lower court and, according to the Tele gram, reversed himself from a for mer decision that he had concurred in. The Telegram contends that the support of Mr. Tongue given Jus tice Rand in the primaries was to influence his decision in the Traver vs. Naylor case. Both Mr. Tongue and Judge Bag- ley said that they did not care to make any statement and professed little concern und some amusement. The finding here, generally, has been that th«1 decision for Miss Tra ver was fair und just. Mrs. O’Brien State Officer Mr . Mary E.

World peace was the theme of th«- convention, according to Mr. Hill, who was very much in.pre» ed with the serious way in which the foreign delegates look at this phase ot Rotary. Forty of the 44 coun tries in Rotary were represented. Approximately 10,900 delegates from all over the world were regis tered. A report on the convention will be mad«1 at the Rotary meeting to day. Local Tossers Win on Fourth Before one of the largest crowds that ever entered th«- Athletic park. Hillsboro accomplished for the first time on the local field the- defeat of their old rivals, Sherwood, by a score of 3 to 2. Ellis. ex-Kelso twirler, pitched for the locals, and was touched for only four hits, while Traynor for Sher wood was checked for seven bingles. Well, it was a whale of a good game except for errors on both sides, 11 being made. Over-anxious ness on the part of the players was mainly responsible. Gross garnered the longest hit of the day, a three- bagger, while Jack Delplanche cut off an almost sure tying run by Sherwood when he made a wonder ful toss from right field to Catcher Bill Zeigler. In the opening canto Robinson went to first on a fielder’s choice, advanced to second on an error and came home on Miller's sacrifice. Again in the third Robinson doubled and came home on two errors by the Sherwood shortpatcher. In the sixth Gross tripled with Nosier on second and scored the winning run. The visitors made botj) runs in the fourth frame on a single, a walk and two errors. The Verboort team of the Tual atin Valley league proved too big a ’nut for the local tossers to crack in the game Tuesday afternoon at Athletic park. After battling 11 innings to a 3 to 3 tie, the game was called off before the diamond floated away. Hillsboro put up its poorest ex hibition of the year. With men on bases they were powerless to de liver much needed hits. Frost toiled on the mound four innings for Ray Dillon’s crew before being relieved by Day. In the third, Darety proved his undoing by lifting a hom<r over (Continued on page four) Hold Alfalfa Meet Monday An alfalfa field meeting will be held Monday at 10 a. m. at the M. F. Mills farm at Shady Brook by the agricultural committee of Washing ton Grange and the county agent. Th«» object of the meeting is to ob serve and discuss methods of suc cessful alfalfa growing in that com munity. On Tuesday nt 1:30 p. m., a meeting will be held on the C. Cop pens farm at Newton station to observe the results and crop in creases from the use of superphos phate on alfalfa planted on the Hillsboro loam scries of soils, which extend west and south from Hills boro and comprise some of the best alfalfa soils of the county. Mr. Coppens had nn increase of two tons of hay per acre on the first cutting of alfalfa where phosphate was used this year. The treated plot is showing a heavy increase on the second crop. Farmers having this type of soil should be interest ed in this farm trial of the value of phosphate.

Mr. Boley will nttend the meeting as a delegate. Not a person was arrested in Hillsboro yesterday in spite of the large numbers in attendance at the celebration. Sheriff J. E. Reeves said it was one of the most orderly crowds that he had ever seen.

E. Reeves and Deputy Oscar Duley Saturday charged with assault with a dangerous weapon on his partner, Herman Bastaert. The two men were unable to hit it off in peace, according to the sheriff, and when the partner re turned after a few days’ absence he is said to have been attacked by Hansen. Bastaert was struck over the head with a shotgun, according to the information, and suffered a bad cut which had to be treated by a Beaverton doctor. Hansen was sent to the peniten tiary from this county several years ago on a liquor charge. Frank Smith, sent out by an em ployment agency, was lodged in the county jail Sunday on a charge in volving a 2H-year-old girl. James G. Ryan, M. L. Beery and William Kaylor were arrested early Sunday at the Tillicum tavern near Beaverton on a liquor possession charge. R. M. Waggener was taken into custody at the same place on a charge of being drunk. Wreck Fails to Stop Musician William Walker of Banks was cut about the left eye and bruised about the body when he drove into a telephone pole on Tenth street between Walnut and Maple streets Saturday evening in order to avoid colliding with a car driven by John McIntyre of this city. In his report of the accident, Mr. Walker said he was too close up on McIntyre when he gave the signal to turn into the service station. Mr. Walker made it to Vancouver in time to play at a dance, however, with Walker’s old time orchestra. George E. Hoskins of Tigard suf fered a sprained right shoulder when a car driven by Mrs. O. C. Claypool of Portland skidded around into his truck. He said in his re port that Mrs. Claypool attempted to pass a car, put on the brakes when she saw she couldn't make it, and skidded on the wet pavement. Veral Prickett of Banks was bruised about the face when the Prickett car bumped into a car driven by Chris Mikkelson of Cor nelius when Mikkelson turned off the highway near Beaverton Mon day night.

Bagley in circuit court early Thurs day afternoon on motion of the plaintiff. Certain testimony was ex punged from the records and Mr. and Mrs. LaFollette have effected a reconciliation. State Head Thanks Argus for Support An appreciation of the co-opera tion and support given the road de partment of the county by the Ar gus was expressed in a letter re ceived yesterday from J. H. Scott, state market road engineer. “We wish to compliment you upon the interest which you are taking in the market road development,” writes Mr. Scott. “We believe you are doing your community inesti mable good in fostering the spirit of co-operation and appreciation which you do. Surely no commu nity can progress faster than its system of inter-communication. Your county can justly view with pride its market road development of the last few years. Credit for the de velopment is not alone due to your county court and county engineer, but also to those who have been of assistance in putting the develop ment over.” A short item about an inch long in the Oregonian Monday morning caused local folk to take another look. The headline on the story said “Farmer Gives $300,000.” The item r«ad. “Alex Coleman, 90, a farmer, having $300,000 he did not desire to leave to any individual, has given the sum to the public in order that a ten-mile stretch of road east of Hillsboro might be paved.” The second or maybe it was the third look revealed the fact that it was a Hillsboro, Iowa, date line, rather than Hillsboro, Oregon.
