west side of A street between
First and Second avenues, south,
where they will at once com
mence construction o f buildings
and sheds for a lumber yard.
These people expect to put in a
plant that will be able to fur
nish everything in building ma
terials from first to last.
They
are the owners of the H illsboro
plant and the Big Four mill on
the site o f the Carsten Bros.’
mill, the old mill having been
removed and new and modern
machinery installed.
For the present the materials
will be hauled by wagon from
the mill to the yard, but as soon
as the Southern Pacific has com
pleted its tracks into the city
the delivery will be on the S. P..
and a track will be laid into the
yard for that purpose.
These people come well recom
mended for their enterprise and
business ability.
They have
faith in the future o f Forest
Grove and its surroundings.
W . C. T. U. Met Friday
The regular monthly meeting
o f the W. C. T. U. was held in
the Christian church parlors Fri
day afternoon. The subject for
discussion was “ Why I Wear the
White Ribbon.”
Mrs. Scroggs
read a very interesting paper on
the subject and the discussion
was carried on by many of the
ladies present.
After the pro
gram the regular business meet
ing was held.
Several import
ant committees reported and an
amendment to the constitution
was passed changing the annual
meeting for the election of offi
cers from the first Friday in
September to the first Friday in
June.
Several new members were re
ceived into the Union.
The
membership of the Union is now
about seventy.
Catholic Mission Closed
A most successful mission was
closed on Friday evening in St.
Anthony’ s chapel with benedic
tion. It was preached by Rev.
Father McDevitt, D. D., of Port
land cathedral, and we are safe
in saying that all who were for
tunate enough to hear him were
benefited, be his creed what it
may. He is an earnest, forceful
speaker and his explanations of
Catholic doctrines were so plain
that any child could understand
him. He answered all questions
that were asked, we think, to
the entire satisfaction of the
questioners.
On
Wednesday
evening Father McDevitt was
scheduled for a lecture on So
cialism at Mt. Angel and his
place was ably filled in Forest
Grove by the Most Reverend
Archbishop Christie.
This was
a surprise to the attendants of
the mission and a favor which
was very much appreciated.

The proceeds will be used for the

financial support and see that
the boys do themselves and St.

Everything in green will be the
