Entered at the post office at Forest Grove, Ore.
In this issue o f the Press E. B.
Sappington comes back at the
members o f the school board in
a lengthy letter. He has hand
ed them a Roland for their Oliv
er, and honors are even. It is
pleasing to note that the injunc
tion suit against the board has
been dismissed, all those direct
ly concerned have come to a har-
m o n i o u s understanding, the
bonds will be sold and work on
the new school building will not
be delayed. Thus by injecting a
little of the give-and-take spirit
the atmosphere has been cleared
and the wheels o f progress are
not blocked. It is well.
as mail matter of the second class.
That letter to your old mother
at home. Don’ t forget it. She
is waiting every day for the post
man to turn in at the gate.
The warm days o f the past
week have caused the small boy
to become restive, and anxious
parents will find him down at
the “ old swimin hole.”
The agricultural fair to be held
here next fall should be exten
sively advertised, and should re
ceive the support of every man
in Washington county. Show
people o f other states what we
can produce and they will settle
down and make their home with
us.
Don’ t forget to write that let
ter to your friend in the east and
tell him about Forest Grove. He
will probably not believe you,
but when he gets here he will be
able to see for himself, and if he
is from Missouri he may be
shown.
Attend the annual school meet-
ing to be held at the Lincoln
school building June 16. There
is no more important day in the
year. Let every one entitled to
vote attend, look into school con
ditions, and plan for the coming
year. Only by co-operation of
the patrons o f the district can all
that is for the best interests of
the school be accomplished.
A man has just been sentenc
ed to be hanged in one of Ore
gon’s Circuit courts, and his at
torney says he may not be
able to appeal to a higher
court, as the man is without
money to prosecute his case. If
If there is a probability, through
any merits which his case may
have, that the higher courts will
reverse the decision o f the trial
court, a lack of money should
not act as a bar to an appeal.
The people o f Oregon, at the last
state election, held that he who
is guilty o£ first degree murder
should hang. This is the will of
the people, and must stand until
the law is changed, but as long
as a man has a right to appeal,
his life should not be forfeited to
a want o f money. The wealthy
man, being able to appeal, may
save his life. The poor man, if
his case has merit, should be al
lowed the same chance at the ex
pense o f the state.

The writer has lived in Forest
Grove for twenty-three years,
and is acquainted with nine-
tenths of the people o f the west
ern section o f the county. A
great many o f these people are
native born, but there are hun
dreds among them who have
come from other sections, nearly
every state in the Union being
represented in our population.
In conversations with many of
the residents o f this part of
Washington county who have
come here to make their homes,
we have been told that for pro
ductiveness o f soil, climate and
enjoyable living conditions gen
erally, Washington county is the
peer o f any section in the United
States. We believe them. That
is why we boost for this part of
Oregon.

A pretty but quiet wedding
occured at the Methodist parson
age in this city, when Miss
Freda Loving became the bride
o f Mr. John Wilson, the solemn
words which made the happy
couple one being spoken by
Rev. Hiram Gould. Mrs. Wilson
is the daughter o f Mr. and Mrs.
James Loving, o f Gales Creek.
She was born and raised in the
Gales Creek section, and is a
favorite among the younger
people of that locality. Mr. Wil
son is also a native o f Gales
Creek, being the son o f Mr.
and Mrs. A. W. Wilson. The
young couple will make their
future home in Eastern Oregon,
and a legion o f friends follow
them with good wishes into their
new life.

add more to the appearance o f a lawn
than haphazard mixtures o f flowers.

June, the month o f brides and
roses, is here and with the com
ing o f summer social activities
will give way somewhat to the
pleasures o f camp life by the
sounding sea and in mountain
retreats. The closing o f school
will also cause a quietness to
settle over the town until next
fall.
