Lodge Officer Speaks Before Business Body Th«' chamber of commerce will not get far in putting som.-thing over for th«' community unless everyone join» hands to work for a common cause. This point was brought out in a talk at the Monday forum luncheon by Walter G. Gleeson, gram! keeper of records and seals of the Knights of l’ythias of Oregon. The group must I m * alive to future as well as the present because what the community is five years from now depends on th«- present chamber of commerce, the speaker said. He terme«! the greatest business success of all the frivndsblpa formed during one’s lifetime. We will be measured by the friend, made. American business has never taken n backward step and never will, ac cording to Mr. Gleeson, who said that the old idea of let the buyer beware has changed to let the seller beware. He pointed out the chang ing business conditions and said that a man to be successful in business must have courage. The chain store, he said, is worked on the basis of a smaller unit profit with n greater volume, careful attention to buying and accounting, together with well directed advertising to put their goods across to the people. Mr. Glee son expressed the opinion that this kind of comfM'tition can easily he met by th«- individual business man practicing the same methods. The business man of today must have a k«*ener brain and mor«* acute intel ligence to meet changing conditions, according to the speaker. “Don't sit back anil howl, but get busy on improved conditions,” stated the lodge official. H<* told of changing business con ditions and cited the sale of wash ing machines in music stores, the sale of everything imaginable in drug stores and the many accom modations accorded by banking in stitutions, a decided change from th«' former conservatice methods. Mr. Gleeson, while not a business man, travels all over the state and has an opportunity to view con ditions as ail outsider. W. G. Har«1 was luncheon chair man.

Tombstone obituaries, now blotted out by matted coverings or creeping vines, will be brought to light. All will be neat, orderly and well-kept, if the bill introduced in the House of Representatives by J. S. Norvell, of Umatilla county, becomes a law. The proposed bill provides a method for the upkeep of rural cemeteries. Districts will be, for this purpose, comprised of not less than one school district nor more than three dis tricts, excluding school districts of the first class. The districts will be formed upon petition of a majority of the legal voters residing within the limits of the district proposed. Towns of less than 400 population will not be allowed to come within the provisions of this act. Funds for the purpose are to be raised by a property tax not to exceed two and one-half mills, and are to be ex pended by the county court, the bill states. Salem, Jan. 24.-Representative R. Frank Peters, of Hillsboro, member of the House of Representatives for Washington county, introduced a bill in the house during the first week of the session. The bill re lates to notice and assessment of damages in location and re-location of roads. Salem, Jan. 24.-Senator Edward Schuimerich and Representative R. Frank Peter* and L. E. Wilkes, of Hillsboro, who are representing Wash ington county, took advantage of the three day adjournment of the Ore gon state legislature to return home for the week end. The three day adjournment of the session was for the purpose of giving the legislature an opportunity to study the large number of bills introduced the first week, and also to give the state printing office a chance to catch up in their work. Salem, Jan. 24.-A bill providing for the safe investment of surplus county funds is being drafted by the Jackson county delegation, and will be introduced soon. This bill is intended, in a mea sure, as a substitute for a bill, passed at the last session, and vetoed by the Governor. In a speech before the House, when the vetoed bill was under dis cussion, Representative Hazlett, of Hood River, pointed out the neces sity of providing safe and adequate investment of county funds. Under the present law the counties are re ceiving insufficient returns on their investments. Representative Hazlett stated. The discussion in the House also disclosed that many counties are being forced to evade the present law in order to secure adequate interest on their funds. Salem, Jan. 24.-Ray llalderman. a former resident of Washington county, who took a prominent part in the debating societies during the time he lived at Beaverton and nearby towns, visited the state legis lature at Salem during the first week of its current session.

Cornelius, who reported the wreck for Denny Estep. Eight persons were injured, some serionsly. Welch in his report says the ac cident was just the opposite from th«* Cornelius report. He writes that the other car coming from Portland failed to make the turn until it was too late, that it hit his car which was off th«’ highway to avoid the accident.

Many Projects Planned Co-operating District* Receive First Construction; Work I* Described Links of the Washington county market road chain are gradually be ing welded together into a network that will »peed the development of the fertile Tualatin valley. This was shown Friday in a few hours’ trip over various parts of the county, where it formerly meant long hour» of bumpy roads, one now may drive for miles over roads that for driving comfort excel the paved highways. Ninety-four projects, covering a distance of 107.87 miles, have been constructed on the market road sys tem to date. Out of that amount 34.58 miles are oiled or penetration type of macadam and only 1.36 miles are graded but not surfaced. There are 212 miles designated on the market road system. Road districts have voted $32.700 of co-operative money for 1929, which is not as much as in the past two years. The lesser amount is readily explained by the fact that many of the roads have been com pleted through districts that have co operated. For example district 42 at Timber, which has a large valuation, has voted as much as $20,000 in previous years to aid in market road construction. District 42 funds for Charles Sidney Reimers, aged 22 1929 will be put on a road between years, who resided four miles above Westimber and Cochran for grading Sherman’s mill, near what is known purposes, for, although not a market as elbow crossing, committed suicide road, it will be constructed to mar ket road standards and will bo Thursday night, about midnight.
