PIPE-DIPPING PLANT AT WHÊÊÊÊÊÊmÆ ÊÊÊÊW mw ÊA Admittance will be 25 cents for adults and 15 cents for children. Proceeds to go towards defray ing the expence of buying a new school bell. The young people met Sunday night at the school house and or- , ganized a Christian Endeavor society, with Miss Smith, as president. We did not learn the names of the other officers.

H o u s e s fo r r e n t a n d fo r sa le , little p a y m e n ts a n d in s ta lm e n ts lik e r e n t The pipe dipping plant of the Hillsboro Power and Investment company was destroyed by a fire that broke out at 12:30 o’clock last Thursday morning. For a time the large power house and ma chine shop of the company were threatened but hard work con fined the fire. Power for the operation of the saw mill and also of the Climax Milling com pany is furnished from the pow er house of the Investment com pany and had it burned it would have meant shutting down these plants. Loss on the pipe plant will be between $1000 and $2000. H il l s b o r o , The Ladies Aid society meets with Mrs. N. A. Frost, Thursday afternoon. This is the first meeting for some time and it is hoped the members will all be present. Mr. Bailey is helping Dick Holsher put up some telephone poles on the Gales Creek line this week. The lines are crossed somewhere and no one can tell who he is talking to, if he does succeed in getting central, which is seldom. PICKED AT ORENCO Peter Redwick is erecting a building to be used as a black smith shop on his lots on Second street. He also intends to establish a livery stable—some thing that is badly needed here. A t the mass meeting held last week a committee was appointed to draw up a charter for a com mission form of government for Orenco. The poultry club held a m eet ing Tuesday evening and adopt ed a constitution and by-laws.The club starts under auspicious cir cumstances and a large member ship. A liberal reward will be given to the person who can answer this conundrum properly. Why is the Oregon Electric like the moon? Mr. and Mrs. John McGee spent Sunday in Salem visiting friends. The bible class held their regu lar monthly social meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mc Donald on Thursday evening and had a most enjoyable time. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

John Wesley had a very poor opinion of the French language. He once wrote: “1 was more than ever convinced that the French is the poorest, meanest language in Europe, that is it po more compar able to the German or Spanish than a bagpipe is to an organ and that, with regard to poetry in particular, considering the incorrigible un couthness of their measures and their always writing in rime (to say nothing of their vile double rimes— nay, and frequent false rimes) it is as impossible to write a fine poem in French as to make fine music upon a jewsharp.” Two fine residences, one seven rooms and one five, with all modern conveniences; l a r g e grounds, centrally located and sure to increase in value.
