NE OF THE most important
matters to interest people of
this part of the county is the
¡construction of a roadway from
Fairview to the transfer landing
on the Columbia. As it is peo­
ple of Clark county, Wash., must
go by way of Vancouver to reach
Portland. The maintenance of
a transfer at Fairview would be
a great convenience to all the
people of eastern Clark and
Multnomah counties. The road­
way has been donated and its
control awaits the pleasure of
our County Court. We suggest
a delegation of citizens wait on
the court.

Leaving the Old Home
The following poem ia numtHr J of a aeriea
of five number* of pioneer balads contributed
by Eugene L. Thorpe
Breaking the ties of childhood days,
saying the last farewell,
We’re leaving now for the far away; in
memory to dwell
The scenes of youth where first we knew
the bonds we break today
For another home by the sunset sea,

A last goodbye and parting band to

And the toilsome track is ours to trend
