The association of Congressional churches for the West Willamrtte Association was held with the Hills boro church last Tuesday and Wed- day. The attendance was good there being aliout lorty dolegstes present. The papers atid addresses emphasiz ed the same thought from different points of view, "Present problems for the local church." Much thought had been given to the aubjaet with the result that there was a very profi table as well as entertaining cooler- ence. The Idea was voiced mai eacn local church is in soine measure re sponsible for the success of Its neighbor and especially for religious sentiment in those centers where there is no church.

Tills sifaMfS ! oa my bo of lh gaaaias I jixative Bromo-Ouinine tas rtmtiT ran a MMl T SUIT OVER PTOPERTY Vauflhn Sues Mrs. Cishtciler for a Piece of Land He Claims ItOTIl PARTIES (LAI THE I.AX1) The Case PromUM te be a Spirited Oac anil Kill be ia the Courts Several Mouth i title' Vaughn v Gulsbwiller la the to an action at law that will probab ly cucumber the uocket of the cir cuit court In Washington county for many months. A while ago Mr. Ben). Anderson sold bis residence iiroperty at the northeast corner of First and Lincoln streets, just north of the court bouse block, to Sylvester Vaughn for $900. Later Vaughn transferred It, by deed, to Mrs. L. J, Quishwiller without,, aa he alleges, consideration. His reason for that step was that be teared his wife with whom he had not lived for fifteen years was trying to get an Interest In his property. He supposed his wife had obtained a divorce years ago. Just how he expected to extinguish his wife's title by transfer is not plain. Ou the other baud Mrs. Uuishwiller asserts that the money paid to Mr. Anderson was her own and that she had the deed written iu her friend Vaughn's name because sho owed some claims that were pressing and that she did not want the title till the demands were paid. Having paid her debts she took the title of the properly from Vaughn's name to her own. The property is her own, was from the day Mr. An derson sold it, and she proposes to hold it. And there you are. Last Tuesday John Brown, grocer, got returns for 1 dozen broiler chick ens which were sold for $4.75. These ieepers weighed as they came from the yard 9 pounds, and sold for a fraction under 40 cents each or al most 63 cents per pound. On the consumer's table they will cost al most or quite $1.00 per pound. But the big price Is not all profit, for to begin with the eggs from which they were hatched were worth 3 cents each. , There was loss of added eggs so tlint 4 cents is not too great an estimate. Cost of heat for incubator must be reckoned, then there is care and ft ed while growing. But there is a margin of profit and a living for the poultry man who raises chickens by the thousand. It should be added that the expense of marketing this little shipment was fifty cents. Coupled with the opinion of the city attorney that the county court has exclusive jurisdiction of county roads passing through the city until such jurisdiction is given to the cor- oration by the legislature in the charter, is another matter can city require property owners to struct sidewalks on the side of the the part of any county road within city limits? What has been said with refe rence to the Hillsboro-Glenco railroad is attracting attention to the timber north of Glenco which the road when built will tap. Two men rep resenting different Interests were in Hillslioro Tuesday last looking up the matter. That stub of eight miles promises to be the first piece of new road built in the county. Mr. E. L. McCormlck has employ ed an expert bicycle repair man in the name of Mr, N. D. Westfall, of Portland, Or. Mr. Westfall comes highly recommended aa a first class machanlc.

Miss Vera, socond daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Frank Davy at one time resident of Forest Grove, died at her Salem home on the 3rd instant aged about 17 years. An attack of plea ro-pneumonia was the cause of death H. O. Guihi who for several years has published the Oregon Indepen dent at Salem announces In the Issue of Apill 3, that he suspeuds publica tion to remove his plant to Washing' ton. He does not mention the town where be again takes up his quill. An annoying error appeared last week in publishing the list of re publican candidates, which stated that Joseph Galbreatii is republican candidate for sheriff. It should have been Samuel Galbreath. The name properly appears i'i this Issue where it will stay till elected in Juue, when it will be transferred to the list of county officers because Sam Is going to get there. Last week in writing of the se quoia in the court house yard it was stated that so far as known they are the only ones in the Willamette valley. A correspondent calls atten tion to another planted in the yard of the late Dr. Bowlby at Forest Grove. The proiierty is now owned by Mr. Geiger. This tree has been a very rapid grower, and now presents a most attractive appearance. The correspondent did not mention Its history but it probably came from the Porter nursery, and there may be more in this and adjoining coun ties transplanted from the same source. Some time ago the Independent called attention to the profit to be gathered in poultry raising. Again profit hunters are directed to the chicken yard. As careful an esti mate of the income originating In the poultry yards ol lAnn county as the dtt.i at hand permit! is here glv-j en: Eggs, 200,000 doziau, worth $30,000 Live poultry 4000 duen " $16,000 Dressed poultry 80,000 lbs " $ 8,800 Total $54,800 This is from shipments made to Portland from stations of the S. P. railroad, and include only freight and express packages passing to or through Portland. It Is claimed that Linn county is in the business on a larger scale thau any county in the state, but what Linn does can be matched in Washington. Work on the Portland Xebalem railroad has not been comuieuced notwithstanding 40 days have passed since it was announced that men would be In the field by this date. It seems as far away as ever, and as the pHHses-are studied there is less reason to believe that the company, if company there be, is in earnest. The favorable pass that Secretary Heed commended so highly, was surveyed in 1868, by engineers em ployed by tho Oregon Central. They reported adversely and the route now used, up Fourth street Portland, was taken instead. The abandoned route was over a 2 per cent grade. Nothing better is now claimed for It. The Fourth street grade Is 4 per cent for a few blocks but 2 per cent for several miles on both sides of the hill. And it is that 2 per cent that makes freighting so expensive from Beaverton to Portland. In the be ginning, when Holiday was propos ing to build the road, he wanted to go up Fourth street, bat there was objection. Holiday threatened to go down the Tualatin, bridge the Wil lamette at Oswego and establish anion depot on that side of the river. The city quickly granted the right of way through Fourth street and raised a cash subsidy of $100,000 in addition. We now 000 that It would have been better for the commerce of the West Side if the road had gone down the Tualatin. It ia where it will yet have to go. The Portland Xehaletn better take the water level where as many cars can be palled as cin be hitched t), than go over the Portland mountain on a S per cent grade where it takes two loco motives to pull fifteen loaded cars.

An ordinance was directed to be drafted making all revenues from the water and light plant payable to the llecorder between the firit and tenth of each month. A resolution was passed directing the Recorder to collect at once the bills for the month of March. The city attorney was asked whether the city had control of coun ty roads within the city limits. The attorney replied that the county court has control of county roads whether inside city limits or outside, The com mittee on water and lights reported unfavorably on Installing an arc light at 6th and Washington streets.

THE lilMPTIOX AXD PKESU.MP TION OK ME AXO BEAMS. With the unrestricted freedom owners of stock enjoy in allowing their cattle to roam over the public highways, Washington county has gained an unenviable reputation as a "free range community." One can not travel any road whether promi nent or remote, without encounter ing straggling groups of whole herds of cattle, without apparent owners, grazing upon the thorouhfares. This malpractice has become so pro miscous and pernicious that many individuals, they cannot be termed farmers, ignore to lay In a supply of fodder for the winter season, but de pend entirely upon our "free road gracing" system, the marauding In stincts of their bovinea, which asserts itself in many fence breaking forag ing expeditions upon the growing crops ana trie gleaning or passing hay wagons etc., to keep their flocks during the blustering days of the rainy season. These roving bands have become so numerous, that they now constitute a positive nuisance; not to speak of a constant menace to life and property and the quarrels and law-suits they may provoke. The owners of these festive "cows" seem to have transmitted to inem their own sense of road owneship, by which thev, the cows, have acquired absolute title to the highways with "appurtenances thereto," the latter phrase signifying the bicycle paths, their favorite promenade which they abuse In various ways to the detri ment of its appearance and useful ness. Farmers are loud In their protests and weary of these wandering klne and their depredations, and are al most unanimous In their denuncia tion of these quadruped vultures of our roadways. We look for relief and appeal to the authorities to com mission a Poundmanler at every cross road if necessary, to permanent ly dispose of and bring to a termina tion this "home rule" of cattle aa found on our highways.

Francla Feller, the Butteville hop grower who went to London several months ago with the pool of hop sent by the Oregon Hop Growers' Association has returned, aud seems to be well pleased with the result of his trip to the British motronolls. In an interview with a reporter ol the Kveulng Telegram, that paper says of his trip: ' "Frank Feller, a prominent hop grower of Butteville, returned yester day from London, England, after disposing of 22,000 bale of hops for the Oregon pool. He thinks the trip paid him well, aa the hops weie sold direct to the consumers, who were willing to pay good prices for them. The aalea netted the growers here 10 to 12 cents a pound. "Mr. Feller thinks Oregon lioj growers, as a rale, ate In too much of a hurry to pick, and this gives the bops a green, unripe tinge when In the bale. Hops should not be pick ed until fully ripe, he said, even should we have to wait a few days longer. The British consumer is willing to pay the top price for the Pacific hops' as the product of the Willamette valley ia called, but he wants them fully ripe; in fact, a lit tie overripe would bo better than premature picking. "He spent six weeks in the British metropolis, and thinks It is the big' gest city in the world. The atmos phere Is grimy with smoke, and if one washes his hands every fifteen minutes the water would turn black from the soot. New buildings put up within the past twelve months look old and grimy, and the sooty atmosphere settle on everything. London is a busy city, however, and the people are evidently prosperous, I saw no signs of extreme overty anywhere. The Britons, although gloomy over the protract! war In South Alrica, are by no means in the humor to compromise with the Boers. In the daily papers and in conversation on the streets, evidence John Bull's determination are plainly manifest. The Englishman when he sets his head, is just as stub born aa the Dutchman, and that is pretty stubborn,' Mr. Feller is glad to get borne to Oregon, and expects prosperous season for the hop grow er In 1902."

A fast trot tor brings blg money In those coun tries, gums reaching into thousands for tho gpan. These horses can be bought only in the United States, where the class originated. The first trotter was Hambletonian and' all the standard bred horses trace back to that remarkable animal. But not all of his colts were fast, or trans mitted speed to their defendants, but there were speedy animals that seem to have been the sire of remarkable trotters. Tho head of one of these groups was Electioneer 125, that stands at the head ot a speedy lot of horses, among them Sunol 2 :08 and Egotist somewhat slower but the sire of Egoecn 2.0C and of Lovelace owned here in Hillsboro by Mr. E, B. Tonguo. Lovelace himself baa a fast record of 2 .20 and a trial record of 2:12 , as a 3-year old. The breed ing of fust horses la one of. nature's secrets Jealously guarded, and a fast colt is quite as likely to appear on the farm as in thn gilded stables of the wealthy breeder. There is every Incentive for farmers who have good brood marcs to patronize this fine animal whose 3-year old record la better than that of Egotist his tire.
