THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1905
T h e county assesscor gives notice
through a Hillsboro paper, that the
board of equalization is to meet on the
ninth of October. We presume all
the county taxpayers live in and ad
jacent to Hillsboro, as the other county
papers are not appraised of the fact.
A

accused the citizens of this city of
Offering $ 10.000 to get the now de
funct Hillsboro railroad away from
them, and that if it started from here it
would only skirt the foothills. It for
gets too, that in its issue of September
8, it berates the electric line that has
been endeavoring to build out from
Portland but from some unknown rea
sons, either to the public or itself, it
can now see where that road “ would
help Hillsboro and be the making of
Forest Grove.” It wasn’t long ago
either, that this same two-page sheet
of miscellany rot, was going to stop
the electric line in Hillsboro, and have
it carry all the freight from the Portland,
Nehalem & Tillamook Railroad, and
leave Forest Grove off to the left.
Could that have been done the weak-
kneed nonentity wouldn’t be trying to
determine which foot to stand on, and
he would have been man enough to
have told his own handful of readers
the true status of the failure to finish
the hot air route instead of keeping
silent and leaving it for The News to
do. That is the kind of consistency
our very learned editor over the way
has been using and he now thinks the
public are such damphools that it
won’t be noticed—and we guess it
won’t.
WHO are the influential republicans
of the county? That is a question
that is perhaps thought of more than
it is asked. Yet at this time the com
mon herd of that party are justified in
demanding who the influential ones

We Never Promise
Ought to be worn by every youngster in this com
munity— they fit well— are made of the best yam
in the market, fast color— that’s only why they last
better than any other make that we have ever
sold— and they cost no more than poorer makes—
get the best for your money.
More Than W e Give
It is the established policy of our store never, know
ingly— to promise more than we can perform— never
to offer as dollar values goods that were not worth
that amount— never to make any promise that we did
not intend to live up to. That is the reason why our
business has grown to such an extent as it has
— that’s why our customers rely on every statement
we make— that’s why they know that the values
quoted below are as good or better than can be ob
tained anywhere— and it’s why when we advertise
a special sale is’s always a success. Note these
prices:
