T H U R S D A Y , O C T. 6, ’04 Notice to the Public This week we assume the manage ment and editorship of the WASHING TON COUNTY N e w s . In doing so we find ourselves not only in the midst of a beautiful city and surrounding country but also in the midst of lots of hard work, for we mean to keep THE NEWS up to its present standard of excellency, and to do so we are com pelled to ask the co-operation of all. It shall be our aim to please our readers in so far as it is within our power, and to further the interests of Forest Grove and vicinity. The paper shall maintain the policy as heretofore and as for politics it will be found in the republican ranks. We ask the continuance of the excellent patronage the paper has had in the past, which will thus make THE NEWS one of the best and newiest papers in Washington county. J. F. WOODS, Editor. In the personal property assessment of Washington county there are six head of dogs, at the remarkable valua tion of ninety cents. It would seem that there is something wrong some where. There should at least be a dollars worth in the entire county. The death of Postmaster General Henry C. Payne, which occurred at the Arlington hotel in Washington, Tuesday evening, removes from the cabinet one of its most eminent mem bers.

Coach Magee arrived last Friday evening and the football situation is now assuming definite shape. About twenty-five men are out on the field each evening and the first team already shows a marked improvement under Coach Magee’s efficient training. The first game will be played on the camp us next Saturday, and with Hill Mili tary Academy of Portland. The vis itors have been training longer than Pacific’s team and, although much lighter, will give the ’varsity a good practice contest. A number of good games will be played here this year. Among these is one with Albany Col lege, which is scheduled for October 29. Whitman College of Walla Walla, Wash., may also be brought here. The Thanksgiving game will be with Willamette University and will prob ably occur at Salem. The probable line-up for Saturday is: Geo.

After all, the chief charm of this race of winged flowers does not lie in their varied and brilliant beauty, nor yet in their wonderful series of transforma tions, in their long and sordid caterpil lar life, their long slumber in the chrysalis or the very bi^ef period which comprises their beauty, their lovemak ing, their parentage and their death. Nor does it lie in the fact that we do not yet certainly know whether they have in the caterpillar shape the facul ty of sight or not. and do not even know the precise use of their megt con spicuous organ in maturity, the "Anten nae. Nor does it consist in this—that they of all created things have fur nished man with the symbol of his own immortality. It rather lies in the fact that, with all their varied life and activity, they represent an absolutely silent world. * * * All the vast array of modern knowledge has found no butterfly which murmurs with an audi ble voice and only a very few species which can even audibly click or rustle with their wings.—T.

It is not a pleasant thought that the brilliant white note paper which your hand rests upon may have in it the fibers from the filthy garment of some Egyptian fellah after it has passed through all the stages of decay until it is saved by a ragpicker from the gut ter of an Egyptian town, and yet it is a fact that hundreds of tons of Egyp- tain rags are exported every year into America to supply our paper mills. At Mannheim, on the Rhine, the American importers have their ragpicking houses where rags are collected from all over Europe, the disease infected Levant not excepted, and where women and chil dren, too poor to earn a better living, work day after day, with wet sponges tied over their mouths, sorting these filthy scraps for shipment to New York.
