Hon. E. W. Haines of Forest Grove, nominee for State Senator from Wash­
ington county, was bom in Hardin county, Iowa, November 24, 1861. At
ten years of age he came to Oregon with his parents, who settled in Marion
county, later in Yamhill county and finally at the age of 16 years, Ex-Senator
Haines became a resident of Washington county. His education was ob­
tained in Marion and Washington counties, two years of which were obtained
in Tualatin Acadamy and Pacific University. Upon leaving school he be­
came a manufacturer of lumber, teaching school during the season of least ac­
tivity. In 1885 he bought an elevator and for ten years was a large shipper of
grain. During this time he also entered the merchantile business and upon sel­
ling his elevator he gave his entire attention to his store, conducted under the
name of Haines & Bailey. In 1898 owing to a bank failure, Mr. Haines was
urged by his friends, to enter the banking business, and sold his merchantile
interests and opened the E. W. Haines bank which he has since conducted.
He also owns a one-half interests in the Crescent Mills of this city, and the
controlling interest in the immense electric power plant on the Tualatin river,
as well as large interests in real estate.
He has a wife, formerly Miss Nettie S. Shipley, and two daughters. He is a
member of the Congregational church, a Mason, a Knight of Pythias, a
Granger, and a life long Republican. In 1898 he was elected to the State
Senate to fill the unexpired term of the late Senator Samuel Hughes. In a
regular and a special session he served his constituents ably and was very
prominent on important committees, being chairman of three.
Being
a man of tact, energy, and resourcefulness, and large business experience
he made an admirable senator. Always a careful student of public questions he
is the logical candidate for State Senator and would fill the position with much
credit to his constiutents.
The News, with two eastern friends,
M. G. C. McPreston and Mike Pope,
both of Orleans, Nebraska, took a trip
last Friday visiting several points in
the county and no recent occasion has
afforded us greater pleasure. Among
the places visited was the city of Bux­
ton. Nestled among the hills just
above the valley, and protected by the
massive forests on the east, north and
west, one feels a sense of security and
restfulness found in but few places
during our travels. Nor are the peo­
ple less warmhearted and hospitable
than the surroundings in which they
live.
Among the advantages of the city
are two thriving stores, a saw mill, a
creamery, an hotel, postoffice, two
churches and a grange hall. At first
glance one would scarcely suspect that
on grange days and other special oc­
casions of business or pleasure the
thriving city teems with well to do and
progressive people, but such is the
case. Among those who made us
more than welcome were the genial
store keeper, P. H. Buxton, the mod­
est assistant post mistress, Miss Mae
Peterson and the energetic creamery
man, Hans Peterson, whose fine dairy
product find a market before it is man­
ufactured.
It is certainly a trip which is enjoy­
able and one little realizes the re­
sources of this county until he takes a
trip
into
the rich
valleys for
which Washington county is noted..
