BEAVER STATE HERALD LENTS, MULTNOMAH CO., OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 17 1913. Subscription, $1.00 a Year. T LENTS BOOSTERS HAVE BIG MEETING FIFTY DAYSINJAIL OR FIFTY DOLLARS Commercial Club Supports Cannery Matters of Great Importance Taken up. Car Fares, Play Grounds and Project Movement Is Started to Im prove County Roads. High School Police Protection, Street Naming Department to be Established. and Numbering Considered. Not discouraged by the failure of the Eastern Multnomah Railway Company so tar to build ths proposed ext nsion of the Mount Hood Railway from Cot trell to Handy, the Handy Commercial Club haa ' taken up several plans for the development ot that district, in eluding the erection of a cannery that will take care of the email fruits and lierriee and vegetables grown In that community. It has lieen demonstrated that tbe Handy Valley, of which Handy is a center, can grow fine berries and fruits but as there is yet no railroad connec tion with the Portland market It is thought that a cannery would take care ot the output and thus provide a market at home. Tbe plane for working out the cannery proposition have been taken up only by tbe club and nothing definite liae been done, but It io ex pected by another season to get the en terprise under way. It waa largely through the effort of the Bandy Commercial Club that the creamery was established at Handy, which baa developed into a highly Im portant and profitable concern, taking the milk lor many niileo in the Sandy Valley. tt is with the construction of good roads that tbe club has of late busied itself. It has undertaken to hate the main rood from Handy to I’leaaant Home improved. This is part of the Mount Hood automobile rued, which for several years has been In bad con dition. A special committee from the club has taken up the matter, and a report is soon expected. Those who go to Mount Hood in their automobile» will appreciate any improvements that may be made, it ie pointe«! out. Another progressive movement at Handy was in the action of the taxpay ers ot the district in voting to estab lish a permanent high school depart ment. Tbe ninth grade was taught last year for tbe first time. There was considerable discussion at the time, and a special levy was made for the high ichool department. It ia ex-1 fiected that an educational center will - be develo|>ed at Handy through estab lishment of a high school department, i Pupils from outside pointe will be charged a small tuition to help defray expenses The last meeting of the Lents provemant Club waa an especially caaaful one. The attendance waa beat ever known and the intereat not second to the attendance. A goodly portion of the crowd came from the south part of town where the people are interested in an improvement in car service. Mias Train acted aa spokesman for the delegation and told in a very effective manner the reason for the demand for a five cent car ser vice to Wataon Station. Mr. Johnson and several others spoke of the justness of their request It was decided to appoint a committee to wait on the traffic manger of the Portland Railway Co., and see what could be done to secure the reduction. The question of securing more ground for the use of the schools was then dis cussed at some length and was also as signed to a Committee. The playground question waa also brought up and it waa reported that the city’s employees were already on the ground with the material for permanent fixtures. The committee which had been in charge of the resolution relative to dues reported and after considerable’ discus sion it was finally decided that there should be no dues or other chargee for membership. It was thought that money could be raised either by collec tions or by entertainments that would more than equal tlie needs of the club and so it was decided to 'll»pose of all fees. The matter of better police ser vice for the night time wee taken up and It waa decided that an attempt would be made to secure an additional officer. The naming of streets waadis cussed at some lenght and it was thought that the present system of numbering streets and avenues would be maintained but it waa urged that the name of Footer Road should be contiuned. The club adjourned to meet in one month. By tbe passage of a new dog ordinance yesterday morning every dog owner in the city is liable to fifty dollars floe, or to fifty days lo jail or to both floe and jail sentence. This seems to be a little extreme and pretty bard on the dogs bat tbe only way oat of it 1s to muxsle your dogs or keep them tied up. It would probably be safer to maxxle the animal for even the owner may be bit ten by a rabid dog. The occasion for tbe new ordiance is the numerous cases of late where people have been bitton or i*ave been attacked by apparently rabid dogs. One seems to bars traveled through tbe city from Mil waukee north, on tbe east side. One was killed during the week in Wood lawn, after biting a fine sbeperd dog for J. E. Stansberry, and threatening tbe family. It was gotten into the cellar and shot. Stansberry's dog was then shot. One man has died from hydrophobia within the week, and at least one boy was bitten by what is anticipated is a diseased dog. Complete directions for action will be furnished by tbe state board of health, located m the Selling Building, Port land. Any supposition that a dog naa been bitten should be followed np watchfully, and st the first symptoms the dog should be disposed of. Dogs that are disposed to be scrappers should be especially watched for snch doge are likely to get inoculated at any time. It is to be presumed that all doge are infected with hydrophobia more or less, and when conditiowa are just favorable it becomes ¡virulent. -¿-a CORN GROWING IN THE NORTHWEST J.

A Resident. night. LENTS POSTOFFICE 6ETS A NEW FLAG RESIDENTS RESENT INCENDIARY CLAIM Huntington and wife, members Gettysburg, Penn., July 4. 1911. We left Gettysburg at 10 a. m., July 4th, for Fort Wayne, Indiana. We passed through Carlisle, Ohio, where they have a large school for Indians. We crossed South Mountain and passed through Bradford, Oh»c, where thev have large iron works. We arrived at Harrieburg Pa. at 11 a. m. At 3 p. m. we started again. As we left Harris burg we crossed the Susquehanna River and ran by the side of It ior a long distance. The river is very rocky and no boats can be used here. The country between Gettvsburg and Harrisburg is fine grain country. Wheat is mostly in shock and the corn is about waist high and has a fine healthy color. We passed through Altoona, a city at the foot of the Allegheny Mountains. We began climbing the mountain. It soon got so dark we could not see the Horse Shoe Bend. There was a terrific rain storm rag ing while we crossed the Allegheney mountains. We passe«! through several nice cities snd also through Pittsburg. Some of the largest iron works we hsve are lo cated here. After leaving Pittsburg ve soon cro-sed into Ohio where we passed many nice cities some of which were in the flooded districts. We arrived at Fort Wayne 7 a. tn. July 6th. We visited the grounds that were inundated with water in this city. There were several drowned here and the damage to property was very large. Water in many places came as high as the tope of the doors. Fort Wayne has the St. Joe, St. Mary and Maumee rivere. The population of this city is righty thousand. It is quite a manu facturing city. The country around it ie level and fine farming land. Crops of all kind look well. Mr. and Mrs. Orval Smith, who have l>een living in Lents to give their children the benefit of a good ychool, have gone to Sherman County to look after property. They will return before schools opens. Miro Myrtei Lampheey of fourth Ave. waa married to Robert Allison, of Mil lard Ave., last Monday at Vancouver Wash. They will make their home on Millard Ave PLAY 6R0UND IMPROVE MENTS IN FLU SWM6 Several loads of apparatus have al ready arrived for the use of the J play grounds >t Lenta. Appearances , are that these grounds will come in for practically the some amount of, appa ratus that otner piay grounds have bad given them. ITbere will be swings, several slides, teter-tottere, and a lot of other things too numerous to mention and it will be a great resort for the children. The next necessary thing will be good strict supervision, day and night. Itie to be hoped that of the experiences of last year will not be repeated. The idea was altogether too genera) among older noys] and girls that tbe playground was for them. The supposition is that these grounds are for children under sixteen. Child ren under that age rarely make any trouble, nor are they found gon ths ground late in the evening. Remains Of Janes SnyierFaani The remains of James Snyder, ths young man from lent« who waa drowned at Seaside tbe next day after tbe Fourth, were found on the beach nine miles from the place of its dis- appearance, just »even days from the time of the drowning. Tbe body waa returned to Portland for burial and laid to rest in Riverview cemetery on Monday. A number of Lents people attended the funeral and the pall hearers, Fay Rayburn, Wm. Geyer, Emil Otto Tom McSloy, Chester Thomae and Harris Wilson, were all Lents boys. Giants Again Victorious The Lents Giants defeated the Maccabees Sunday with a score of 9 to 0. The game was a one sided affair all the way through. The Giants played gilt edge ball and tbe 'Bees conldDt see Boland’s fast ones at all. A. Boland and Nelson starred at the bat Sunday. Boland got 4 hits out of 5 times to bet and Nelson getting a two bagger and a home run. This makes Nelson’s fourth home run in a» many game. Tbe Giants got 10 hits worthwhile. Tbe ’Bees only got two off Boland. Strike oats by Boland, 8; by Worth, 9. Next Sunday the Giants play the Orioles and a very fast game is assured. Batteries for last Sunday's game: Giants, M. Boland and Jerenaaon; Maccabere, Worth and Varley. Everybody wants to be at the big benefit show given at tbe Isis next Bunday evening, July 22nd for the ball boys.
