Objects to Name of "Sttiggerweed” To tlie Editor:—Referring to some I'wul items under the Imud of “Stagger weed," which appeared in a recent issue of your paper, I wish to enter n protest against that term luting applied as n name to this country east of the Sandy. Twenty or more years ugo that part of tin* country lying between the Sandy and Columbia rivers and at least as far east ns Rismter Rock was known as Stnggerwcisl or Staggerwrcd Mountain. As a consequence of the clearing up and pasturing of the country the weed has largely disappeared, and the name has lawn dropped. Instead, the several lieighburhiuals have taken on local mimes which your corre»|»mdeiit dm*» not »vein to recognize as his Items are from several of them. This country, when s|«iken of as a whole, is generally dv«igiiat<«l us “cast of the Sandy,” which is not misleading and at least has not the suggestive and unpleasant sound of "Staggerweed.” C. J.

Our former neighlsir. Win. Crowston, has bevii quite sick. A telephone meeting Was held at W. Hicks* recently to adopt the new by laws. David Benfield is having his new tele phone put in. We are sorry to hear n( the illness of Mr. ai.d Mrs. Crowston’» little doy. Mrs. F. II. Rix proves to la* a great favorite in the Sunday school. We all appreciate the kind interest »lie takes for the g*« h I of the school. Mrs W. Hick» spent an afternoon last week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Crowston, Miss l.ily Ra«niu»«en was a welcome guest at Anderson's recently. Progress is the ideal of the world. A progressive business man is never satisfied to do just what business is brought to him. Competition compels one to go after business. This applies to all kinds of legitimate business enterpeises. As our readers well know Beaver State Herald is progressive; Hence when we found, some two or three months ago, that we were unable to care for our rapidly-growing business on our plant (enlarged but a few months before,I we were not long in deciding that we must have larger quarters and a larger plant. Arrangements were perfected last month with the Gresham Odd Fellows Lodge for a long lease on the first floor of its building which has been arranged to suit our needs, giving us one of the best lighted, ventilated and commodious printing establishments in the state, including a library and private editorial rooms in the rear, and bookkeeper and cashier’s office in front, with a total of nearly 2,000 square feet of floor space. The equipment installed this week by the American Type Founders company is in keeping with the quarters mentioned and places us in the front rank of the large country weeklies throughout the state. Below is a cut of the fine new 33 x 48 Cranston Drum Cylinder Press with all modem attachments, and weighing nearly five tons. This machine prints four pages of this paper at a time, at a rate of 1500 per hour, and does it with ease. The press can be run as fast as 2500 per hour. We have also installed a new Horton mailing machine and necessary type,—a new 25-inch paper cutter, a new 8x12 job press, a new Boston stapler, and a fine stock of metal and wood type which, together with the 10 x 15 job press and equipments already on hand, leaves us in position to do any and all kinds of job or newspaper work liable to be called for. All we ask of our friends now is that every one of our folks who has any pride and interest in tlfc- community will do his or her best to send us all the subscribers, advertising and job work possible. We also beg leave to ask all those knowing themselves indebt ed to us to remit as early as possible, thereby assisting us in meeting some very heavy bills accrued in moving and installing the up-to-date plant in which we are sure all our folks will take a great interest. Don’t forget to bring the children and come and see us in our new home, inspect the new plant and bid us success. Our folks will remember the fine serial story, “Wings of the Morning” by Louis Tracy, which we published last winter. We have now just perfected arrangements for the publication of another thrilling sea story by the some author, entitled “The Pillar of Light,” which will appear in these columns in the very near future. The story will run all winter and will certainly make some very attractive and interesting reading. A descrip tion of the story will be found in another column.
