N«na Timej tí F orest G rove P ress Vol. 3 HOTEL BURNS AT HILLSBORO Mother Has Narrow Escape in Attempting Rescue of Her Child. Monday morning: last, between 6 and 7 o’clock, fire destroyed the old Commercial hotel building: at Hillsboro, in which little Howard Thomas, four years old, was burned beyond recogni tion. The mother, in attempting to rescue her little son, was fa tally burned and died yesterday morning at a hospital in Port land. The first knowledge of the fire was given by the children, who ran down stairs informing the mother that little baby broth er was on fire. The fire is said to have originated from matches with which the children were playing in a room of the second story. The firemen promptly re sponded to the alarm, but were unable to do but little else than direct their efforts to save the adjoining building. The hydrants are said to have been so frozen that they were out of commis sion for a time. The building was an old wood en structure and stood one block west of the Electric depot, along the car line. Many hundreds of Washington county people have appeased their hunger in tlte old hotel. Grove Electa Official* With no excitement and but little enthusiasm our city’s elec tion passed off quietly Monday. The snow falling during the day may have prevented some from exercising their right of franchise. .Only those named by the Citizens Progressive tick et were on the ballot, and as no other aspirant for public honors were in the field, the fight was a one-sided affair. G. S. Allen, who was elected mayor, received 75 votes. Schultz received 68 votes, Wirtz 76, Barber 75, John son 77, and were elected council- men. Markham received 75 votes for recorder and Robt. Wirtz, 76 for treasurer. There were only 80 votes cast. Last year there were 240 votes cast, with but one ticket in the field. STORIES OF EVERYBODY Cecil Hinman killed a fine large jack rabbit near town last week. This class of game is very scarce in these parts. The decision of fruit growers is that the Aetna Lime and Sul phur Spray, sold by the Forest Grove Pharmacy, is the most effective. Every household should be provided with a Brown Daisy San itary Dust Cloth, 25^ each, for sale only by the Forest Grove Pharmacy. Cal Campbell, who lives just northwest of the city, made the office a pleasant call Monday. Mr. Campbell says that either of two articles heretofore published in the Press is well worth the price of a subscription. Why pay ten dollars for a map which merely shows W’ashington County, when you can get one on a larger scale showing every thing from the Willamette River west to the west boundary of the county, size 50x67 inches for $7.50, or a pocket size 24x33 in. for $2.
