THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1905. The crossing between Cheney’s notion store and Schultz’s market needs to be rebuilt. Its present con dition reminds one of a clam-bed at low tide when the bivalves emit their gastric juices. <y K ï s. The country weeklies are not the only newspapers that make mistakes. The past week the Evening Telegram gives Forest Grove a basket factory, the Oregon Daily Journal makes Hills boro pay the damages in the suit of E. Dewey vs. Forest Grove and the Oregonian publishes a picture of P. U’s Track captain under the title of “ sec retary of Baker City Elks. Still not a week passes but that some of the so- called “ funny men” of the Portland papers make sarcastic comments on the country press. Senator E. W. Haines, while in Portland last week, thus spoke to an Oregonian reporter: “ We of Forest Grove feel confident that some day we shall be connected with Portland by an electric road. Of course we do not know how long it will be before that will come to pass, but I do not think the day is very far distant. At least we are not worrying about it. Representatives of Eastern capitalists have visited Forest Grove and the sur rounding towns several times and looked over the ground. They all agree that it would be a paying invest ment. I do not think it is a ques tion as to whether we shall get the electric road, but I think it is a ques tion as to who will first get in.” The ravages of the San Jose scale has not been limited to this section of Oregon. The pest has manifested itself in the orchards of Clackamas i county, Multnomah county and nu merous other parts of the state. The fruit industry is seriously threatened unless every fruitgrower lends assist ance to combat the disease. The 0. T. C.

While the judges were conferring, the Philomathean Trio sang the new Philo Song, the words of which were composed by Miss Holmes and the music by Mrs. Coghill. Yells and cheers followed, until the decision was announced: Mr. Rasmussen, first; j Mr. Fletcher, second; Mr. Peters, third. Miss Ferrin, Mr. Sparks and Mr. Aller were chosen to act as alter nates.

Riv alry betweefi the societies was in evidence and Brighton Chapel fairly xang with the songs and yells each had composed especially for the occa sion. Before the debate Miss Leiser played a very pretty piano solo. President Ferrin who presided for the evening, then instructed the judges to base their decisions on the debate presented by the speakers and not on any merit of the question. The speakers were excluded from the room except when speaking. The first speaker was allowed 12 minutes, the second speaker 11 minutes, and the others 10 minutes each. It was a Hon. W. K.
