Hughes Raises $450 in Few Minutes—Will be In creased to $900 Despite the fact that there were almost half a dozen affairs of im portance going on here last Friday evening, more than 100 turned out for the get together banquet served oy the Commercial Club at the Forest Grove Restaurant. The menu was of the top notch variety from the soup -n d salads to the pie and Oregon apples and the service of the restau rant people was capital. President Harry J. Goff, presided, and every speech rang with enthus iasm for the home town, and the post prandial orators all argued that Frest Grove should engage in an ac Live campaign for more people, when the thousands come west for the Panama fair next year. W. K. Newell, of Gaston, a trustee of the University of Oregon, said that the business man must help the far mer market his produce, and he urged the county to construct hard-surface roads in the country, stating that enough had already been wasted on cheap gravel and dirt highways. G'eorge C. Blower, publicity man for Pacific University, said that for the interest o f the town and school and their mutual development, there must be cooperation. The town must have faith in the college and stand back of it he said. President C. J. Bushneli said he hoped to see the city put in a sewerage system soon, and Charles O. Roe “ boosted” for a bigger ami better county fair here next fall. H. C. Atwell, former president of the Oregon Horticultural society, and ,vho is now president o f the Forest Grove cannery, in speaking o f the means o f advertising, said that be sides che printed page a town’s best advertising was in what it stands for -nd the industries maintained. J. W. Hughes, the well known auctineer in a few minutes raised $450, which will e increased to $900 by the business •.v.en o f the city. This will be used or general purposes. Others who spoke were Judge L. M. ¡raham, Dr. Charles E. Geiger, J. W. .1. Beach, Attorney W. P. Dyke, J. N. Hoffman, A. B. Thomas, Bert Simp- on, of the Southern Pacific; Charles Aydelott, B. F.

FROM FOREST GROVE 1 NO. 28 1000 PEOPLE GREET HOG AND COW SHOW J. N. Hoffman Invents Device That Cleans 10 Sacks of Spuds Farmer» From Many Sections in 40 Minutes. Come to Get Advice on J. N. Hoffman has just perfected and is manufacturing several ma chines especially devised for the thorough and rapid cleaning o f veg etables and fruits. Mr. Hoffman in his application foy a patent was surprised to ascertain that heretofore nothing had been at tempted along this line. As is often the case, necessity is the mother of invention. Last fall while operating his dryer he pur chased several hundred sacks o f po tatoes, which before evaporating necessitated washing. The best he could do was to get six sacks washed by hand per day, so expensive that he saw his supposed profits sudden ly reduced to a deficit. He suspend ed operations at his plant for three days, went to Portland and scoured the wholesale houses in vain for some device to help him and returned de feated in his purpose, but not dis couraged, and he went to work on his own initiative, with the result ! that when he again assembled his ■ factory crew he had a machine that perfectly washed ten sacks o f pota toes every 40 minutes. This meant 1 against 6 sacks at the begining. The machine although crude, de monstrated that it did the work equally well with other kinds o f veg- ! etables and fruits and Mr. Hoffman immediately went about to protect his invention with patents and to ar range for the manufacture of his machines. The design is simple and not ex- j pensive as one might naturally ex- 1 pect and those who have seen the ! model in operation are enthusiastic over the final outcome, as it will fill a long felt want on the farm to pro vide the demand for clean bright vegetables and fruits, in grocery stores, restaurants, hotels canneries and warehouses. The machine will be manufactured in several sizes to suit the various requirements. . Why it has not been in general op eration for several years is the re mark o f one and all when they see it, as it consists of a cylinder hollow with holes about one inch in diam eter through which holes the ing and repassing over the water constantly runs and after pass washing contents the finished pro duct is clean and not bruised. Either hand or power can be used as desired. The machine runs easy, child can turn it. If this meets the expected demand, Forest Grove in the near future will undoubtedly enjoy a manufacturing plant that will in time become an istablished pay roll that we all will >e proud of. RALPH DIMICK-DEAD HERO HONORED ATNCT IE DAME A bronze tablet has been unveiteu t Notre Dame University, Ind’an«. n memory of Ralph Dimick a forme rotliall hero of that institution aim acific University who died from in- jries received in the alumni gar.. ;re three years ago. As fate would have it D m 'ck h: dayed through some o f tne bigge. fames in the country, had bucked . gainst the University of Michigs hicago, Pennsylvania, and won a b ¿me for himself for his heady ar ¡erri/ic playing and was choosen i. . member of the All American tear iy Waller Camp. He was also » tar track man. Then after going through all tlv big games of the east he came west o establish himself in law business in Portland. In the Pacific aluini. game here in September 1911 he had some ribs fractured and after re turning to Portland took down with pneumonia which it is said, had been caused by the broken ribs puncturing the lining o f his lungs. He lived hut a few days. Stock Raising COW EITHER FRIEND OR FOE Good Cow Will Pull Farmer Out; Bad Cow Put Him in the Hole People 1,000 strong from many suc tions o f this county were here Tues day to attend the demonstration ser vices put on by the Oregon A gri cultural College, Southern Pacific and Portland, Eugene and Eastern Rail roads. Mark Woodruff, publicity man of the railroads said that it was the largest crowd that they had shown to on the route. James Withycombe, candidate for governor, was given a rousing wel come, when he was introduced for it was in Washington county that he did his first farming. He declared this the banner dairy county o f the state. He said that Forest Grove was enjoying paved streets, exccd- lent schools and good conditions o f the people because o f the cow. Tile local condenser he said, is responsible for no small amount o f the prosperity- In speaking upon “ Hogs for the market” Prof. E. L. Potter said that they had not brought along a fancy lot of hogs that were beyond the farmers reach but commercial stock which every one could raise. Choose a hog with width, length and depth, a broad face and neck, deep chest showing a good constitution, smooth and firm and a hog with short legs and stands on the tips o f the toes so as to carry all possible weight. The fine brood sow with poor legs is liable to go to pieces if the legs are not good. To receive top of the market prices the hog should be sold when weighing about 200 pounds and not over 225 as the consumers demand that kind o f meat, not the excessively fat or the slim but the medium bacon is the kind that the people want and are willing to pay for. When there is less profit in lard than there is in meat it will pay to raise medium sized hogs for the market. The brood sow becomes of the rough variety and is not o f the top o f the market va riety. A good sire is absolutely nec essary. That the people were prementiently interested in dairying was shown by the way the multitude of farmers, citizens, poor folks, rich folks and college professors tried to crowd themselves toward the front to hoar what Prof. R. R. Graves had to say upon the choice of a dairy heard. Ho said that the good dairy cow must lave a good constitution so as to stand strong strain o f giving rnilk »nd bearing calves, a good blood cir culation, large rapacity for food, large udder that lies in folds when mpty, the muzzle should he hro.nl, :he eye bright, thin neck with voiy little flesh on it. The dairy no v is ■ ery angular with large irregular m'lk i ins nd milk wellas, Prof. Grves said iut there was nothing that would j 11 the farmer out o f the hole l'ke gond cow and there was nothing mt would put him in a bad hole like bad cow. “ Breed up your herd,'* j said, “ Get a good bull and don’t oss breeds as that will set tha »rnier back several years. Do coin- nunity breeding. If your ne'ghhor .as a certain breed o f cows get .¡nd and some time this community A'ill establish a reputation for a cur tain breed and people will come her« from afar to get stock. Weed out the oad cows.” This last sentence was echoed hy J. M. Dickerson who has become om > j of the biggest dairy farmers in tha state during his residence o f four years by his up-to-date methods oil (UUii»iiiae<i on ». age five)
