(-'UMiUtSSIUSili TKllilTE TO THE MEXOBT OK OKEhOX'. LUE KEl'KEsESTATIVE , The pride which Hillsboro and Washington county took in the rapid advancement of Congressman Tongue to national prominence, their gratification at the prestige he had attained in Congress, . appreciation ot his services and the respect and regard which came from years of asso ciation have led to a cherishing of his memory among his neignbors, friends and former associates. The memorial addresses delivered in Congress last Washington's Birthday have been gathered into a handsomely bound volume just issued from the Government Printing Office and containing a steel en graving from the same photograph as the portrait above, a most charac teristic likeness. The selections from the addresses of his collegues in Congress have been chosen in an effort to show the estimation in which he was held and their opinion of the reason of bis success, v Mr. B shop, of Michigan: "I am well assured that in this instance this is no perfunctory service, but a voluntary offering of our testimonials to the life, character and public service of a man we all learned to admire and esteem while associated with us as a member of this' body. Human life should not be measured by the years which it has spanned, but by the deeds it has accomplished, by its achievtments in human action, by the impress inch a life may leave upon the community and State; and judged by such a standard Mr. Tongue had far exceeded the ordinary limit of life, and has endowed his family and his commu-.ity with a rich heritage in an honored name. His modest and retiring demeanor when he first took his seat upou this floor kept his great r.bili ty as an orator aud an analytic debater concealed through an entire ses sion of Congress; but eal; in the second session of the Fifiv-fifth Con gress, when the Hawaian Islands were asking admission to this Republic, he made a speech upon the question of the admission of those island which called the attention of the House and the entire country to his ability as a statesman and forensic debater. Mr. Tongue was, in all his essential characteristics, a type ot the splendid manhood develop ed with the developing country of the far West. The path he had trod from his youngest manhood to the last hour of his life was not one rVy-,5 ot case and worldly pleasure'. I le courted contact with iho stern re.ili ties, and matched his great abilities, his sturdy will, and tireless endea vor agaiii'-t the obstacle's that mig'.it appall one less reliant.- Iiui all along that pathway are planted the flowers ot friendship, of kindly and generous deeds, which have given out their sweet perfume to bless and gladden the lives of others and which will continue to grow and shed their fragiance in the years to come." Mr Mondell, of Wyoming: "Thomas II. Tongue was a doer of deeds an earnest thinker, a faithful worker. Whatever he set his hand to do he did with his might. With him no task was trivial, no duty to be performed or responsibility laid, was lightly esteemed or slightingly executed." Mr. Davidson, of Wisconsiu: "The people of Hillsboro lost a good neighbor and faithful friend, an industrious and active citizen. The State of Oregon lost a man who by reason of his ability and experience, was eminently qualified to care for its interests and advance its welfare, and the nation lost a public servant whose breadth of mind and conscien tious study made him one of the most useful legislators." Mr. Bellamy, of North Carolina: "Reared in the school of the pioneer, he received that strong and sturdy training which develops character and self-reliance. He grew to manhood imbued with the best thoughts and aspirations of a liberty-loving American and impressed by the envi ronments of a section rich ia fertility os well as in story and in lore." Mr. Needham, of Califonia: "His life is an exemplification of the fact that as great success can be achieved in the small rural communities as in the more congested centers of population." , Mr. Lawrence, of Massachusetts. "It is not to be wondered at that the people of Oregon a'neerely mourn the loss of one who worked with all his might for their interests, who had for so many years stood that most satisfactory of all tests, the test of service, and had not been found want ing." Mr. Randall, of Louisiana: "We all mourn his untimely end, and point to his useful, well-spent life with'honest pride and satisfaction. Such men as he have made of America the greatest nation on earth, and as long as she continues to produce them her destiny is safe. Mr. Burton, ot Ohio: ' He was Chairman of the Committee on Irri gation of Arid Lands at the time when that very important innovation was adopted by which the Central Government undertakes the reclama tion of vast tracts of desert lands. His name will be inseparably linked with this measure, under which millions of acres will be added to the national domain of arable lands, which it w hoped will furnish additional opportunity and additional property to our common country." Mr. Sparkman, of Florida: "Whatever was worth doing was to him worth well doing, and if he had possessed nothing more to distin guish him here or elsewhere, if his fame and usefulness had no other fouudation upon which to rest the possession of this virtue alone would have sufficed to give him a high standing among his fellowmen," Mr. Cushman, of Washington. "I do not hesitate to say that in my opinion it was in a large measure his arduous labors that shortened his life. Perhaps it is better thus. In this modern and enlightened age the lives of men. in the greater sense, are not spanned by years, but are measured by events. The aura total ured by the good deeds accompusiiea ana not Dy mere longevity. Meas ured by this standard our friend will be long remembered by his asso ciates on this floor." of a human life is properly meas Who Fills Your Prescription?

In the three and third years since the last census the popalotion has grown to 18000, or 25 per rent gain. Were tbla rate of In crease lo keep up 1910 would see 28000 people here, but as the Immi gration seems only Just to have be gan, with the prospect of two elect ric Hoes to make this residence region convenient to the metropolis of the Pacific Northwest It seems reasonable to expect even more rapid growth In the next few years.

About 3000 In the coaoty are foreign born bat nearly a half more have been brought op either in the German tettlementa of some stste like Wis consin where the language of the Fatherland has been transplanted or under similar conditions in this county, so that about one-fouth of the county's population may be c!:ssed as German speaking.
