FOREST GROVE, OREGON, THURSDAY. JANUARY 4, 1912.
THREE IMPORTANT
REAL ESTATE DEALS
Johh Fuqua last week purchas­
ed the brick building o f Will
Haines, now occupied by Geo. G.
Paterson.
The
consideration
was $5000. The building has
been leased by Moore & Sons and
will be occupied in the near fu­
ture by them with a market and
grocery.
John Thornburg and W. Haines
last week purchased the property
o f H. B. Johnson on Main St. and
Ist Ave., the price paid being
$8000. It is understood that a
brick will be erected by them on
Main St. covering the entire
frontage.
The Red Front Variety Store
o f A. E. Hart last week was pur­
chased by R. F. Emerson, o f Gas­
ton, and he has taken charge and
expects to add new features.
School Notea
The holidays are over and school
has opened again with good pros­
pects for the remainder o f the
year’ s \frork.
Several o f our teachers were
attending the State Teacher’s
Association at Portland last week.
Our basketball team is to ar­
ray their energy against the New-
berg High School team next Sat­
urday evening.
Three weeks after this one
closes the first half of the school
year, at which time some class
changes will be made.
The county eighth grade exam­
inations will be held Jan. 18-19.
Ten o f our pupils will try the
teat.
A change of teachers was made
during holiday week in which
Miss Frances Arnold went to
Skagway, Alaska, and Mrs. Ros­
en burg, of Skagway, came to
Forest Grove and takes the room
formerly taught by Miss Arnold.
A Good Position
Can be had by ambitious young
men and ladies in the field of
“ Wireless” or Railway Telegra­
phy. Since the Ç-hour law be­
came effective, and since the
Wireless companies are establish­
ing stations throughout the coun­
try there is a great shortage of
telegraphers. Positions pay be­
ginners from $70 to $90 per
month, with good chance o f ad­
vancement. The National Tele­
graph Institute, o f Portland,
Ore., operates under supervision
o f R. R. and Wireless Officials
and places all graduates into po­
sitions

New Depot For Gaston.
The Southern Pacific Company
has advised the Railroad Com­
mission that it will comply with
the commission’s request to in­
stall a large shipping building and
better facilities for passengers at
its station at Gaston.
Owing
to the fact that the town o f Gas­
ton is growing, its station has be­
come inadequate and the Commis­
sion, after investigating, finds
that the business the railroad
company derives from the place
