HILLSBORO
AT THE FAIR
600 OF OUR CITIZENS PRESENT
4Speelal Cera to Accommodate the
Crowe-Sotn i-iiilaoora Sanaa
Furnlehed the Muaie.
Despite the inclement weather,
Tuesday about every one went to
the Pair, and Washington county
day, at the Lewis&Ctark exposition,
was a grand success in every parti
cular. Representatives from all
parts of the county swelled the
crowd. Fully five hundred left from
the Hillsboro station either on the
"special" or the regular train that
followed. Forest Grove sent three
coaches from this city, and Gaston
and Cornelius each had one coach
load start from their city. The
weather cleared up about 10 o'clock
and every one enjoyed the sights at
their own sweet will.
The four coaches set out at this
station were decorated by the Lewis
and Clark club, with banners print
ed in large red leters, and red, white,
blue and yellow bunting. The
board of trade presented handsome
white satin badges with, Hillsboro,
Washingtan county, at the Lewis
and Clark Fair, 1905, printed there
on, and each badge was pinned on
with a rose bud in recognition of
the flower the ladies club had
selected for fair decorations. Bask
ets of fine roses were sent' lo the
Oregon state building for the de
coration of the reception rooms on
the second floor which was in
charge of the Hillsboro ladies, and
the booth at the agricultural build
ing was in charge of the Forest
Grove ladies at which place sweet
peas predominated in the decora
tions, the hostesses of the reception
given at one o'clock included the
president of each Louis and Clark
club in the county, Mesdames Hoge,
and Walker, Forest Grove; Bailey,
Hare and Huston, Hillsboro; Boyd,
Beaverton; Fener. Dellev; Ray
mond. Gaston; Groner. Sholls;
Moore, Greenville; Banks, Banks,
and Tigard Tigardvill. Each guest
was presented with a rose as they
paid their respects to the ladies in the
receiving line.
A large crowd was in attendance
in the afternoon at the mass meeting
at the auditorium and Colonel Harry
Haynes presided and introduced the
speakers. Jefferson Meyers, presi
dent of the State Commission ex
tended a hearty welcome to the
people of Washington county, and
paid a fine compliment to the ladies
who are gathering the exhibit for
this county. Mr. Meyers also as
sured the assistance and co-operation
of the commission at all times
Hon. W. K. Newell spoke in be
half of Washington county very ably
setting fourth the advantages of the
county. A piano solo by Miss Wel
nia Waggner received prolonged ap
plause and a vocal solo by Mrs. F.
Chaman of Forest Grove was indeed
a pleasure rarely enjoyed. Mayor
B. P. Cornelius represented Hills
boro and was cheered time and
again. Mr. Cornelius stated that he
was a product of Washington county
h id lived here 54 years and was
proud of it.
He also said: "There are less
rented houses in Hillsboro than any
place I know of, the people are
happy and contented and nearly all
have comfortable homes of their
own." In explaining why Hills
boro was a good city to live in, he
stated, we have a good electric light
plant, the best water in the stale, and
could get other liquid refreshments
as both hard and soft drinks, were to
be had, and youdid not have to hunt
around for a 'blind pig.'
Mr. W. N. Barrett followed ex
plaining to the strangers present the
exceptional advantages of our city
and vicinity, and how the same were
advantageously situated, being near
Portland. Judge Hollis and Frof.
Robertson, of Forest Grove, spoke of
the many advantages to be derived
in coming to their city to live.
President Goode was pleased to
welcome the Washington county
people in behalf of the Expo
sition; and stated that "the sun had
not shone for five days, and not un
til the Washington county delega
tion arrived, did 'old Sol' shine
upon us."
W. M. Marsh of Cornelius, spoke
of the advantages of his town, ex
plaining that Cornelius was just
hs!! wfl" between friltshoro. and
Forest Grove, and at no distant
date we would all compose one hap
py city, with Cornelius as the central
part of the city. De Caprio's band
played several selections which was
a treat that we are not otten permit
ted to hear.
The "Special" did not leave Port
laud, until 10 o'clock in the evening,
giving an opportunity to see the
electrical illuminations, which was
the grandest sight one can imagine.
The Hillsboro band and the Lad
ies ban in uniform, were the only
bands to accompany the excursion,
aud the Ladies band received many
flattering comments, The train
reached here at 11:45 and every one
expresses themselves delighted with
the day at the exposition.

The Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion is now wide open. Hit the
Trail.
A brilliant banquet and reception
to the Vice-President of the United
States was the program of Thurs
day night at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition. The function was
held in the New York state build
ing. The guests included a dozen
United States senators, half a dozen
governors and about twenty con
gressmen. The Lewis and Clark Exposition
is a dream of lovliness in its June
time dress of verdure and flowers.
Roses run riot perfuming the air;
the grass is gloriously green; the
fir trees in Centennial park, the
western part of the grounds, add a
touch of the real forest to the For
estry building, and everywhere
there are flowers and shrubs and in
profusion.
Five hundred men worked night
and day during the last few days
preceding the opening of the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, and the
formation that took place on the
grounds and building! was amaz
ing. In a single hour half a mile
of railroad track was removed from
the ground, and a few hours later
the rough road where the track
had run was smoothed off and roll
ed hard.
DR. HARRY LANE
ELECTED MAYOR
WITH THE PLURALITY OF 1,216
Vete enly One Thousand Short ef
Ravlt'a Sharkey la re
elected by email majerity
Dr. Harry Lane, Portiaud citizen's
candidate for mayor, has been elect
ed mayor by a decisive majority,
with a total vote that fails but little
short of that cast in the presidential
election last fall.
Lane's plurality is 1.216. His
total vote was 7,587, while that
cast of WillHans was 6,371. The
prohibition and socialist candidates
for mayor received a total of 699
votes, so that the number of votes
cast lor mayor was 14,648. A con
siderable number of voters did not
vote for any of the candidates for
mayor, and the total number of
ballots cast was over 15,000.
Nearly or quite one half of those
who voted for Lane are republicans.
This is the opinion of all who have
studied the figures closely. In the
main republicans voted for their
party nominees for other offices
than that of mayor, with the result
that only one other democrat be
sides Lane was elected. This was
W. T, Vaughn, democratic and
citizens' candidate for councilman
from the tenth ward. Five of the
candidates for the council who
were indorsed by the citizens mass
meeting were elected.
A notable victory was that of H.
W. Wallace, independent candidate
for councilmen in the second ward
against Larry Sullivan, the republi
can nominee, Fred Merrill was de
feated in the third ward, and the
only member of the present council
who is reelected is John P. Sharkey.
The report of the grand jury
which was made public Saturday
afternoon undoubtedly had a strong
influence on the result of the elec
tion. Had it come earlier it would
probably have caused the defeat of
John P. Sharkey. As it was, he
ran far behind his ticket and re
ceived less votes than any other of
the successful candidates for coun
cilman at large. This is the more
remarkable inasmuch as he led all
other candidates for the same office
in the republican primaries a month
ago.
The ordinance granting a fran
chise to the automatic telephone
carried by an overwhelming vote
and all but two of the proposed
amendments to the city charter
were adopted. Those rejected are
the amendment relating to the
method of granting street railway
franchises and the amendment im
posing a penalty for delinquent as
sessments. The . city boundaries
have been enlarged by the annexa
tion of the territory between the old
city limits and St. Johns and that
lying between the old limits and
Mount Tabor. The cost of bridges
over gulches will in future be paid
by a special tax of 2 mills, instead
of by assessment on the district
benefited. The amendments de
creasing the cost of city advertising,
raising the salary of the clerk of the
municipal court and regulating the
securities to be given by banks
which handle city funds, were all
adopted.
Seven precincts voted on the
question of prohibition, under the
local option law, and four of them,
all on the east side, went "dry."
In precincts 13, 41 and 54 prohibi
tion was defeated. It carried in
precincts 40, 55, 56 and 57.
City Auditor Thomas C. Devlin,
City Attorney L. A. McNary and
City Treasurer J. E. Werlein were
all reelected. George J. Camerson
was elected municipal judge, the
opposition being split between two
other candidates, McDevitt and
Petrain.
Dr. Harry Lane, mayor-elect of
Portland, says: "Portland's peo
ple have elected me mayor, and I
shall not dissapoint them." said Dr.
Harry Lane. I fully and deeply
appreciate the honor they have
vested in me, and I am not unmind-
ul of the responsibilities I have as
sumed by receiving their suffrage.
"No pledge by me given to the
people from the public rostrum or
in the public prints above my sig
nature shall fall of realization, if it
is within my power to make it ef
fective. I have promised to give a
good, clean and decent administra
tion of public affairs, and I am go
ing to do it. I attntmts my eiec
tion to a triumph of the people and
a victory for the principles of moral,
decent government, and not to any
personal superiority on my behalf.
It is the triumph of a principle, and
not the triumph of a man. My
electiou comes in the nature of a re
volt on the part of voting Portland
at the ballot box, not at George H.
Williams, for whom I have the
highest personal regard, but at the
administration by which he was
surrounded, I have nothing further
to say other than that I will carry
out my campaign promises made to
the people, and in the interests of all
the people."
Dr. Lane said he was not ready to
announce any appointments. ' No
promises or pledges of appointments
havebeen.'given to any living man,"
the doctor says, and he will not de
termine whom to appoiut until he
has examined the field. That he
will appoint new chieCs at the heads
of the police department and cily
engineer's department is certain, for
the doctor says he must be surround
ed by officers whom he knows and
can trust from personal knowledge.
He will appoint an entirely new
executive board.
"I owe a debt of gratitude to the
good women of Portland for the ma
terial aid I received from them in
this election. I very fully appreci
ate this help." And as Dr. Lane,
soon to be mayor, made this state
ment, there was a deep feeling in his
voice.
One Pare For Round Trip.
The Southern Pacific Company
will make a rate of one fare for the
round trip from Portland to all
points in Oregon, Ashland and
north for visitors from the East to
the exposition at Portland to enable
them to look over Western Oregon
with a view of settling or investing.
These tickets will be good for fifteen
days limit, with stop over at all
intermediate points, and will be
sold to holders of the exposition
round trip tickets from points East
of the Rocky Mountains.
This will afford the various coun
ties and communities that will
maintain exhibits aud advertise in
other ways at the exposition, every
inducement to have the Eastern
people visit their section.

Seven Cera Have Been Ordered
60 Pound Rail and 60 H. P.
Meters ta be usee.
Superintendent of Construction
Hooper, of the Atlas Contract Com
pany, of San Francisco, will arrive
in Portland in time to start work
Thursday morning on the line of
the Oregon Traction Company
which will build an electric road
from the foot of Stark street to For
est Grove. The place of commence
ment will be on Twelfth and Stark
streets, where the gangs will begin
laying 60-pound rails.
It was planned lo start further
down town, but the nouarrival of
the grooved rails for the concrete
roadbed delayed this. The 60
pound rails will begin to arrive
about Saturday. J. R. Bowles &
Co., agents for the Colorado Fuel
& Iron Co., which plant is manu
facturing the steel, will also supply
the several crossings needed, and
from the time ground is broken un
til the road is finished all energies of
the promoters will be centered on
prosecuting the work. It is esti
mated the line will be finished to the
terminus in seven months.
The company has placed an order
in St. Louis for seven cars, which
will be operated from the heart of
the city to the summit. These will
be equipped with foursohorse-power
motors, and the through cars, which
are to be similar to those operated on
the lines of the O. W. P., will have
a strength of 300 horse power.

Weather Report.
Good rains fell in all portions of
the state during the past week, and,
while the weather for the most part
was cooler than usual, there were
spells of intermitent sunshine,
which, taken together with the ad
vance of the season, caused a grad
ual warming up of the atmosphere,
and a general improvement in the
condition of all crops resulted.
More sunshine and waimer weath
er are needed, however, before vege
tation can resume a normal growth.
The condition of the grain crop
is promising, with probably veiy
few exceptions. Fall wheat, rye
and barley continue to head satis
factorily. Spring wheat and oats
have made rather slow growth, but
the general condition of these crops
is above average. The grain aphis
has become quite numerous in
Washington, Yamhill, Marion, Linn
and portions of Douglas counties,
but as yet the damage done by this
pest cannot be estimated, though
it is thought to have been slight.
No better made. No better can be made. Our
guarantee goes with every pair.

The Designer for July is as
breezy as out-of-door pictures and
articles can make it. There is a
special article on bathing-suits;
Louise M. Dew gives hints for the
stay-at-home in "The Gospel of
Out-Door Beauty," and there are
two pages of beautiful reproductions
from tree photographs. Independ
ence Day is paid due homage in
"Fourth-of-July Tableaux," by Sar
ah Comstock; in a short story, "The
Women's Independence Day," by
Catherine Wetherell; and in some
good bits of Fourth-of-July verse.
"A Little Retel," by Zelia Margar
et Walters, tells how a small lassie
preferred her American Independ
ence to wealth and a title in anoth
er land. "God has to keep some
people poor; it's the only way He's
got to make 'em decent." So de
clares Miss Ginter in tne July in
stalment of the droll story of which
the good lady is the heroine. In
the chapters given this month,
Dewey and Manila, importations of
the Fresh-Air Society, are intro
duced. Miss Ginter has become a
prime favorite with the Designer
since she made her introductory
curtsey in the May number, and her
quaint philosophy is given unusual
exercise in these latest chapters.
Laura B. Starr writes entertainingly
of "Italian Housekeeping," and
Mary Kilsyth takes her readers on
a "Trip Through the House."
"The House-to-House Milliner" is
the novel profession Bertha Has

helpful and practical series "In the

for the nimble-fingered needle

Handkerchielfs" and dainty "Scarfs
for Summer Wear." The latest in
white flannel suits is shown on the
pages devoted to men's lashious;
and "Fashions and Fabrics" and
"Fads and Fancies" illustrate sun
shades and laces. Eleanor Mar-
chant gives useful advice concern
ing fitting up the picnic basket,- and
Frances E. Peck illustrates and de
scribes "Dutch Desserts." Martha
Kinsman in this issue gives direc
tions for making of an "Embroid

making' deals with the trying of
sashes and bow-making generally.
