If the people of Hiilstsiro let the
npMirtunity pass of obtaining a milk
condensing factory, I think they will
miss a golden opportunity. ItHi acres
of such prairie land as we have In
Washington County will entirely bu-
piiort 40 givsl milk cows the who'e
year through. It is easily within the
rango'of posibilities for those cows
to averago titioo lbs of milk a year, of
a quality to command U cts. n't lb;
r a gross return of f.UnO ftr 11)0
acres. Upsides, young slock can ia
raised and sold fur ijuite a sum, anil
ine other feed than milk being ii-hh!
for raising tho calves. Uesldes thore
will la a wonderful difference in the
worth of that 100 acres after HI years
of such farming along side of selling
off all the crop year after year.

On Friday evening last the Indic
I'KNIikn r representative had his first
fxperience with pickpockets. The
repiesentative hoarded tho train al
the Union depot and occupied the
fast seat hut one in the rear end of
the car. At Stark street Dr. Card
well entered and sat in the same
seat next the aisle. When the train
started and had, attained its usual
shu1. all tho passengers had not
found seats, but were passing through
the car. Two fairly well dressed
men halted just against Dr. Card
well and leaned over him and In
tently gazed out of the window.
His seat mate looked out, too, that
the attraction might be learned. But
there was nothing unusual. About
this time the doctor's patlen was
exhausted and he rather shortly re
questod the men to stop leaning on
him. They then somewhat hurried
ly stepped away. Dr . C. remarked,
"Those fellows were rude enough lo
be pickpockets;" at the same time
he put his hand up to his shirt front
and found that his diamond stud was
gone. "Why, they did rob me,"
was .his somewhat startled remark.
He hastened to the rear of the train,
but it was too late. The birds bad
a own. The work was quickly done,
and though there wore no leas than a
dozan people within six feet of where
the Incident occurred, no one realised
what was doing till It was too late to
catch I lie thieves. Several persons
havo laen touched at the Stark street
station. A diamond thief was caught
the same evening and from the des
cription he is one of those operating
on the train.

William IteldL a real estate owner

himself. He bad lust made a pur
chase of a block of bouses ou Wash

figure, tbe purchase price being no
more than $45,000. About two
weeks before the last prestdental
election, be walhed down past his
property. It was a Bryan day. The
news from the canvass was anything
but favorable for the gold standard. J
Beldt's feet got cold. Why. if Bry
an was elected bis property would
not be worth a quarter of its cost
lie Outran to cast aoout lor a custom.
er. He found a man whose hope
was bigger than his owu and com.
menced talking. Every good point
of the property was touched, and
none of the bad ones, least or all the
effect of Bryan's election. He sold
the property for cost and a few dol
lars additional for conveyancing.
Now the ssme houses could not be
bought for $80,000, tho rents are
good and every way pleases. Mr.
Reldt Is not greatly mourning,
tho he keeps the lucident In mind
as a time when he had "cold feet."
C1TT ELECTION
Tile city election last Monday was
a quiet contest In tho forenoon,
though after that hour there wai a
little more life. .All the nomina

stood. There was a Saturday night
ticket put out which had supporters
but not enough to go to success
except in the case of Mr. E. O. Schul

made a mistake when they put him
on the Saturday night ticket for

One Door West of the Bank, Hillsboro, Oregon. .
we have made an examination of
the bonds of the various county offic
ials now iu office aud find some of
them defective as follows:
The boud of the sheriff as tax col.
lector is insufficient in form and d ies
not contain any provisiou which in
sures the county against financial
loss should the said tax col
lector fail to properly account lor the
moneys collected on tho delinquent
tax roll for the year 1900, aud the
said bond is not signed by the said
sheriff personally.
The bond of the county treasurer
thows among other sureties, tbe
names of two attorneys st law who
are by law, by virtue of their profess
ion, disqualified as sureties on stdd
bond.
Tho bond of the countv recorder
contains the name of oue attorney as
as surety who is by the law by virtue
of his profession, disqualifuid as sure
ty on said bund.
The bond of the ' county surveyor
shows among other sureties the name
of one attorney at law who is by law,
by the virtue of bis profession, dls
qualified as purely on said bond, and
said bond is also Insufficient in form.
The bond of the coucty clerk con
tains among other sureties the name
of one attorney as surety, who Is by
law, by virtue of bis profession, dis
qualified as such surety.
On account of the various defects
in the bouds herein above mentioned
we recommed that the county court
be requested to require the raid offic
ials to execute new bonds which
shall in all respects comply with the
law and we further recommend that
all official bonds be by the county
court referred to the district
attorney or his deputy for an
opinion as to their sufficiency before
the same are approved.

The sanitary condition of the build

building too S'usll, aud not suitable
for the purposes lor which It is used.
We recommend a thorough white
washing and cleaning of the Interior

that the system tie changed so that

We recommeud that additional
facilities be provided lor the protec

we recommend thnt all thu .vaiious
county offices should be conducted as
economically as possible, neveitue
less the county court should provide
sutticieut help to do the work exped

We find the court' house imtl
grounds well kept and cared for, but .
we discovered a p'lo of old docu
ments In the tower which In their
present condition are, a menaco to
tho safety of the building on account
of danger from fire and wo recom mend
that the County. Court take
such action as to the said old docu
ments as It deem beet to remove tho
danger. ' '
It having come to our knowledge
that certain road supervisors havo
neglected and do neglect to take
proper care of and lo exercise proper
supervision of our roads as well as
the care of public property in their
respective districts we most reHpect
fully call the attention of the County
Court to this matter.
We recommend that no papers or
fllss be permitted by any ot the var
ious county officers to bo removed
from tbair immediate' 'yustotly' with
out the giving by tho recipient of
receipt for each document so removed
which receipts shall definitely speci
fy the nature sod character of the
document.
Having completed our lalairs we
respectfully request of this Honor

For croup It is unequalled. AImoIu
