Tlie Portland depot was jammed with an iin'ry crowd of disappointed eople, every one of them cursing the railroad company. While it was a great disappointment to the people, it was al so a decide I loss to the stiUe lair associ ation, but we can't just tlgtire it out that the blamo belongs altogether V) the railroad company. They put the fare doan to almost nothing, expected a big crowd and prepared for it, but the jam was greater than the company or anybody else expected and pimply flood ed them. The railroad companies are not throwing away money, and you can lt your bottom dollar the lost fares on Portland day hurt the Southern Pacific fully as much as the people who were left behind. This habit of throwing rice and old shoes at a newly married couple is very funny to the throwers and spectators, but often proves very disastrous lo the parties most concerned. In Wisconsin a lew months ago a bride had an eye put out by the heel of an old shoe thrown at her by one of the wedding guests. Another bride suffered agony for several days with a kernel of rice in her ear, thrown "just for fun." The other day a brido stepped from her fath er's house, ran the gauntlet o"l flying rice and old footwear, and reached Jhe carriage. She wai about to enter when an old shoe, burled by a guest, struck one of the horses. Mo plunged and frightened his mate. The pair ran away and the bride began her happy lile with a broken leg. In timo we shall outgrow the thirteenth century stylo of humor and shower the happy couple with brick lat. The result is practically the same. After Mr. Taft visited the Pacific Const, - noted its wonderful growth and the great possibilities of this favored coun try, and just before embarking lor his trip around the world, he wrote a friend ; the longer I stay in the Pacific North west, the more I am impressed with its greatness and possibilities. I don't think my head has become swelled on this trip but 1 know my imagination has. With all the marvelous advantages this section has, Us splendid hnrWs and the other resources that almund, I can't help wondering what it will bo in twen ty years. The possibilities for develop ment are so great that I really am un able to comprehend the magnitude it may reach in twenty years. If a young 1 man wants a start. I don't see how be ran do it any better than to locate in the Northwest. It seems to me that he cant Help but succeed, lie will be caught in the current and be carried right along. "J The I.andon lUvor ler, In itsl.ist issue, says ol lion. . ( . 1 law ley s visit to that city by the sea: "Congressman W. C. Hawley was a I'.and.m visitor last week and spent much of bis tune in looking up the 1 ar and harbor conditions. He is of the opinion that the money expen ded on this project is but the beginning, ana mat it is lcmg applied to the lest of the ability ot the engineers. His idea in making this trip tlironghout the dis trict is to acipiaiul himself with the requirements needed and to be able to present them before bis fellow repre sentatives iu '.lie balls of congress ill an intelligent manner. While in this oll'ice he expressed his opinion regarding this country and as to the development now being projected and Close ulout to come. We are sorry he did not have the time and opportunity to addiess our people as he has done in other parts of the county, but he has met many of our cit ixens and has "ih.vle himself familiar with our conditions, and weliuy exiect to hear from him later regarding them." Kvery publisher has this experience, relatad bv an exchange: still the world keeps moving, the paper comes out eV' erv week as usual, and the only sur prised party is the man that ordered the naner "stonDed": "A couple of vears ago a cranky sort of an old man came into the ollice and stopped his paper because something in it did not suit liia fancy. We have frequently met him on the street since that time, and it Is amusing to note the look of surprise on the old fellow s lace w uen lie sees that we are still in existence regardless of the fact that he "stopied the paper, Some day and it won't le long either that old gentleman will turn up his toes. His heart will be stilled forever. Neigh bors and friends will follow his lifeless lay to the silent city, and lay it to rest among the flowers. An obituary will be published in these columns telling what kind father, a good neighbor and be loved citizen he was which the record- g angels will overlook for charity's sake and in a short time he will be forgotten. Aa he lies out there in the cold, cold graveyard, wrapped in the silent slumber of death, lie will never now that the last kind word spoken of him was by the editor of the paper hirh in life he so spitefully "stopped." Hid you ever pause just a moment and think that your editor, whoever he may be, will write your obituary notice some day?" bherwood. Regular Correspondi-nl. September 17. The following deaths occurred during the week: An infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Hess from acute indiges tion; Mrs. John inters, wild oi Jon Winters formerly of Middletou, and an old pioneer and the mother of a large family of grown children, living with her daughter. Mrs. Iavis, on Chehalem mountain; also Mrs. Permelia Tuck ness, born in Tennessee in 1S21, einmi granted to Oregon in 1H5.1 ami settled with her husband on a donation land claim four miles south of here, where she has made her home since with the exception of the past two years. She leaves three grown daughters, Mrs. Geo, Hailey and Mrs. Rodney Jones being residents of this city. She was four score and ten years at Ithe tune of her death.

"Chick" Perkins, as the "Lit io city in Oregon bas pushed more rapidly to the front during the past twelve months than Hillsboro. The sound of the carpenter's hammer and saw have been heard from early dawn until evening, many new residences and store buildings Lave been erected and the very breath of activity and push seem to be in the air. Strangers come and go daily, until it seems that half the population is new. Every day in quiries are heard for houses to rent, but there ia none to be had. Twentv-five good houses could find tenants within twenty-four hours. People living here hardly note the great change going on, but if they will take a stroll around the outskirts of the town they will see that things are moving. The painter's brush has been the means of changing the ap pearance of many homes, and many more will receive the magic touch be fore the rainy season sets in. Lumber is piled high along First and Third streets waiting for workmen to plank vno streets, uood substantial cement walks have been laid on Main, Second and Third streets, and much more will le put in. These improvements sho mat mere ia an under current at work winch is sure to make Hillsboro the large ami prosperous city predicted for it long ago. Now that things are mov ing, everybody should take bold and push a little. It will help, and when things get going everything seems to slide, and why not the prosperous, beair- tilul county seat of Washington county? Ion't hold back, but push. The Tinilierman published at Port land some time ago sent out letters to lumbermen asking their opinion as to the effect of the proposed increase of freight rato on lumber to Eastern points. From hundreds comes the re ply that the increase is sure to ruin the lumlier industry of the country ami put the mills out of business. A. Neppach, oi me Mcolai-.Neppach Lumber Co., ays, in reply to the Tiinbcrman's letter: "As per your request to have us set forth our views of the effect of the increase of the Easter rail rate on lum- uer, w e w,i llky that we commief the same absolutely prohibitive. On all mills in this city and state the result will lie a matter of accumulations and depression. It means that we will have to sell lumlier for either foreign ship ment or within the borders of this state. Nine-tenths of the mills are not adapted for foreign shipment. It means that the weak will have to go down before the strong, and that three-quarters of the great industry in the lumber business will have to quit or go to the wall." J. II. Thompeon, of the Thompson Pro. Lumber Co., thinks there is no call for lumber from the East. He says: "The increase in rail rates will simply shut down most of the mills in the Northwest for the reajon that the logging camps and sawmills are paying too high wages to stand an Increase and continue lum bering. It means small pay to loggers and millinen if this increase goee into Fred Shaumberg left during the week for an indefinite stay in California.

While driving along the public road his left foot pendant and outside the wagon bed, caught in the forward wheel of his vehicle resulting in the fracture of what ia known as the "inter nal malleolus" at the ankle joint, Henry Voss gathered up the remains of bis wagon that has laid out jn the street here since the date of J,ts collision with a freight train some time ago, on Saturday. Thus a heartless and soulless corporation is permitted to destroy the property of a private individual without recompense, so says Mr. Voss, and as his finances does not permit of a legal battle for his rights tho railway octopus will still persue the even tenor of his way, so long as manly power constitutes a barrier, Impossible to overcome by the man of limited meiu s. Edward, son of Ivl McOaniele, of Middleton, returned front Eastern Ore gon during the week where he has re cently sold his farm for a fancy figure- reported at $1,000. Ed was formerly reporter on the Salem Statesman but finds the farming proposition more re munerative; however, the editor of The Independent might offer an objection to the latter assertion.
