The Kansas City Star saVs there is a
parson lu that town who refuses to re
ceive aedding fees because he does not
' think it is right to profit by the m in
take of others. Ilradstreet quotes the
Star as firt class as a mixer of the
truth. n
ConJuctor Jo Crocker says lie carried
6,0(10 passengers to the fair last week.

The controller of the curreney at
Waaliing-ton baa approved the applies
tion of li. M. Dooly, J. It. Loomiali, II
B. Johnson, Frank E. Pooley and II. T
Ituxton to organize the First National
Hank of Forest Grove. The capital
stock is placed at $25,000.
The Foreat Grove News savs that "It
it is not improbable that C. B. Moores
and Walter L. Toore, the two cand
'dates tor congress from Marion and Mar
tin county, will make tome arrange-
. inelit by which one will pull out of th
content. They nee that neither has an
chance in the contest against 8. ft. Hus
ton, if both stay in the field, but with
one out of the way it might give the
othr a little show." Well, Toose says
lie's in the finht to the last ditch, so it
must be Huston vs. Tooze.
The I-ewia and Chirk fair passes Into
IiUtory tomorrow ninht at 12 o'clock as
one of tlie inoat successful expositions
ever heM in the United States, and
thongh it has taken thousands of dollars
from the smaller towns of the state, it
has been a big advertisement for Port
faiid and the state at large. Every dot
lar expended will return many fold
within a vfry few years, thanks to the
energy, pluck and enterprise of the bust'
ness men of Portland. And today Ore
gone is known and talked of, and most
favorably too, in every state in the
Union, and even beyond the great
waters. . .

J. Postmasters have received an order
(rom Postmaster General Cortelyou
which places a ban on all general news
PUIkts publishing tho results of rallies
and church fair lotteries and prohibiting
such publications the use of the mails,
The order is sweeping in its provisions
S nil calls on the postmasters to strictly
n force the laws. This means that in
tjie future w hen there is a church fair,
or a sociable of any kind, where there is
a. rallle, guessing contest or "grab bag'
attachment, or if there is anyone with a
shotgun or watch to rallle, the winning
uihuIkts may not be printed in the
newspapers. Endless chain enterprises
for the sale of articles by the circulation
of coupons, ' etc., are also barred. Bo
strict is the order that it commends it
self to all who have heretofore had an
interest in these matters. Hereafter it
will be an infringment upon the post
master general's edict to chronicle the
fact that ''Miss So-and-So captured first
prize, and Mr. So-and-So walked off
with the booby."
newspapers throughout the state are
snggesting that farmers name their
homes, and it is a good suggestion. In
pans oi iscotisin lanu homes are
known by names given them, such as
"J-he Maples," "The Oaks," "Fern
Home," anil mail addressed to the
the name given the farm invariably
reaches the person 'or whom it is in
tended. The following from the New'
berg Graphic states our idea upon the
subject: "The Graphic wishes to en
courage owners of farms in the neigh
Isirhotsl to give their farm homes sug
gestire names. It adds a little of senti
ment or romance or dignity to country
life and while the prosaic round of du
ties to 1 done is not lessened, an ap
propriate name lends attractiveness to
home. Some faim homes in this vlcin
ity have already been named. There
are the mountainside "Bonny View"
farm of Howard Walton, "Spring Hill"
farm of Atkinson Bros., "Far View,"
theChehaleiu mountain home of P. N.
Skinner, "Ixne Fir Farm" of E. 8. Cra
yen. "The Oaks," the home of David
Mirtin, and "Wildwood," the name of
the Sears place west of town. And
there may le more. All are pleasantly
suggestive. 11 others follow suit."
There is great excitement in the lit-,
tlerityof Beaverton, just east of the
county seat, and an action has been
started to "tire" the mayor, Dr. F. M.
RoVinson, and one councilman, Albert
Da ties. The cause of the trouble ia
that some months ago the council de
cided to put a stop to dumping ertilizer
inside the limits of the village. Duvid
Reghitto, who ueeded the feitiliier on
his onion farm, took objections to the
new order of thiuui and decided to test
the law. lie ordered a carload of gar
bage and manure from Portland and hail
It duruoed inside the limits. He wa
arrested and fined f 15 or seven da. s in
jail, but was not shut up, as hi attorney
secured his release on a writ of habeas
corpus, pending a review in the circuit
court, on the ground that the council of
Beaverton had no authority to pass such
an oidiuance, as the village charter pro
vided that only a person having proir
ty upon which he paid a tax was eligible
to serve as members of the council, and
proceedings have been filed against the
two gentlemen named. It is claimed by
residents of Beaverton that the dumping
of garbage and manure inside the limits
the village should be stopped by the
state board of health, if the council has
no authority to do so, for, it is claimed,
the stench arrisimr from the heai of
garbage and manure is at times simply
frik-htful.
The Lew is and Clark fair w ill close in
a blaxe of glory tomorrow night. Sharp
on the hour of midnight, prior to the
playing of "Auld Lang Syne" by the
band and the sounding of taps by the
bugler, the six battleships on the lake
and Mora fort will be blown up with
dynamite. The management has re
served this big siectacular evtnt for the
climax to a busv, eventful ami thorough
ly enjoyable day. Wires will be run to
the submarine mines from a launch,
and, after the sham battle, when the
battleships are deserted by their crews,
the flames will be allowed to eat into
them until they will be supposed to
have had time in which to reach the
powder magazines; then the electric
spark will cause the explosion of the
mines. The closing day of the fair is to
be known as Press day and Railroad
Men's day. There will bo no formal ex
ercises in honor of either aggregation of
