Although

expenditures for good roads have ex­
ceeded even those o f Yamhill county
it has been Washington county’s mis­
fortune to

blamed for the condition o f its roads.
Instead o f blame, Washington county

FOREST GROVE PAID VISIT
Headed by President Strahorn, Su­
perintendent Campbell, Chief Engi­
neer Burkhalter, and
Passenger
Agent Scott, the Portland Commer­
cial Club Special inaugurated the
electrification o f the Southern Pa­
cific lines in Oregon by the most suc­
cessful “ Get-acquainted” excursion
on record. A representative crowd
from all sections of Northwestern
Willamette
Valley,
500
strong,
boarded the six-car special at the
Union depot at 8 o’clock, spending
the entire day making the loop via
Beaverton, Newberg, McMinnville,
Forest Grove, and many wayside
communities.
At five p. m. the boosters arrived
in Forest Grove and were marched
through the business section o f the
city, and through the campus o f Pa­
cific University.
They held ar. im­
promptu assembly in Marsh Hall and
were addressed by President Bush-
nell, and several members o f the in­
vading troop, including E. B. Piper,
editor o f the Oregonian, C. C. Chap­
man, of the i Portland Commercial
Club, Dr. W T j. Kerr, president o f O.
A. C., and Robert E. Strahorn, presi­
dent of the P. E. & E. Enthusias­
tic cheers greeted President Bush-
nell sa he endeavored to address the
“ mob.” Shouts o f “ Do We Like
H im ?” “ You bet we do.” “ Is he
rig h t?”
“ Absolutely,” intermitted
by honks and whistles were not con­
ducive o f elegant oratory, but were
in order with the informality o f the
day.
Representatives from here making
the trip were: Harry Goff, Mayor
O. M. Sanford, Chas. Roe, E. W.
Haines, L. M. Graham, A. G. Hoff­
man, J. W. Hughes, B. F. Purdy, A.
E. Scott, C. J. Bushnell, George H.
Currey, W. K. Newell R. P. Wirtz, R.
F. Emerson, H. B. Johnson, and S. E.
Todd.
Thefollowing information pertain­
ing to the country passed though
was contained in a leaflet distrib­
uted to all on board.
Highly Productive Country
No area of equal size in the world
is better adapted than are these two
counties, (Yamhill and Washington)
for diversified agriculture. Dairying
fruit growing, live stock, general
farming, truck gardening, in nearly
can be and are conducted in these
counties with a degree of perfection
and profit seldom equalled in the Pa­
cific northwest and hard'y approached
in any other portion of the continent.
The soil is deep and rich, and well
drained. Some of the most important
prune orchards in the Northwest,
some of the largest hop yards, sever­
al o f the finest apple orchards, innu­
merable berry patches, and some of
the finest walnut groves o f the coast
are located in these twocounties. This
interurban
electric
transportation
will stimulate development along all
these lines.
Large farms will be
cut up into small farms and this pro­
ductivity will increase by leaps and
bounds.
FOREST GROVE— Population two
thousand; bank deposits, $600,000.

best known residential communities

Traveling like a three-ring circus
the special demonstration train sent
out by the Oregon Agricultural
College, the Southern Pacific railway
and the Portland, Eugene & Eastern
Railway, will reach Forest Grove
Febuary 3 and will be prepared to
give a demonstration and lecture be­
tween the hours of 1:10 and 3 p. m.
The demonstration train will not
have any tents to put up but,is carry­
ing its fancy bosses from O. A. C.
and its thoroughbred porkers in lux­
urious private cars, they are exhibit­
ed on flat cars and in case o f bad
weather coaches will be thrown open
to accomodate the crowds who wish
to learn of the best manner o f mak­
ing money from dairy and hog pro­
ducts in Western Oregon. There is

also a special car provided for hous­
in g a complete dairy equipment.
The train is sent out by the rail­
roads because of their desire to co­
operate with the farmers of the dis­
trict, all expense being paid by those
companies.
There is no charge for admission
to the exhibits or lectures, the latter
being in the hands of capable men as
Professors Hetzel, Withycombe, Gro­
ves and Potter o f O. A. C., Prof.
Barr, of U. S. Department of A gri­
culture, and W. K. Newell, president
of the State Board o f Horticulture.
It has only been three years since
the farmers of Western Oregon be­
gan raising hogs. Since then the in­
dustry has taken advanced ground,
and hog raisers have made money.
The lectures aboard the special dem­
onstration train will tell how it is
done successfully and will show
where the bossies and porkers work
together.
The great success that has attend­
ed demonstration trains operated in
the encouragement of other indust­
ries gives hope that a great crowd
o f farmers will gather at the Forest
Grove depot. Every resident is not
only welcome, but is urged to at­
tend. The train will be at Gaston
from 10:30 to 12 o’clock, Tuesday
morning.
