ter arriving there the man's wife
went through his pockets and
found about $1.50, all that was
eft of a month s wages which
he drew that day and three bot
tles of whiskey. When it is con
sidered that this man's wife and

original capitalization of $2,500,
000 was increased Wednesday to
$10,000,000. Extensions to the
system were authorized aggrega
ting 301 miles. Work commenc
ed on the first of these lines yes-
leruay morning.
Stockholders and directors of
the company met in the head
quarters in the Corbett building
Wednesday morning and author
ized the filing of new articles of
incorporation, providing for the
increase in the capital stock and
the construction of new main
lines throughout the Willamette
valley, as well as feeders run
ning into the country on both
thO 'CSst &!?d- vcst ride to
Willamette river. It is estimat
ed that the additional capitaliza-
XT 1 .1
lion win provide lor the new
lines planned. If insufficient,
however, the company is prepar
ed to secure whatever amount is
needed for the work.
The plans of the Oregon Elec
tric to develop this state with
trolley lines is the most impor
tant railroad announcement Port
land has had since the North
Bank road was projected from
Pasco, Wash., to that city. It
means the development of the
Willamette valley to a remarka
ble degree for the system of
roads mapped out will serve the
territory to be entered in the
most satisfactory way.
The following new lines were
authorized by the directors of
the company at Wednesday's
meeting: Salem to Albany, 18
miles; Garden Home to Hillsboro.
M2 miles; Hillsboro to Tillamook;
57 miles; Tigardville to Eugene,
125 miles; Salem to Mill City. 54
miles, and Albany to Cascadia,
35 miles. Total mileage, 301.
With the 50 miles already con
structed by the company between
Portland and Salem, the construc
tion of the new lines just author
ized will give the Oregon Elec
tric 351 miles of standard gauge
railroad in the state.
The capitalization of the com
pany will be equally divided be
tween common and preferred
stock, of which 50,000 each will
be issued, of the par value of
$100. The revised articles of in
corporation were sent to Salem
by special messenger yesterday
for filing with the secretary of
state and they were also placed
on record at the court house
here.

The BiU Horse Show.
It is estimated that 4.U00 peo
ple were in Hillsboro last Satur
day to witness the big horse
show and street parade. The
weather for two or three days
previous to the event had been
rainy, cold and unpleasant, but
during the parade it was all that
could be desired, and Messrs.
Cave and Moon, secretary and
president of the Washington
County Horse Association, are
very much pleased with the re
sult, though many of the best
horses remained away because of
the threatening rain. Gov.
Chamberlain delivered the ad
dress of the day and appropriate
remarks were made by Mayor!
Uennis, L. A. Long and others.
The following persons and com
panies had horses entered: A.

He Has Made Good.
The following concerning a for
mer Hillsboro boy is taken from
the Los Angeles Times of April
14:
"United States Dist. Atty. Os
car Lawler yesterday announced
the appointment of Frank Stew
art as his second assistant, to
take special charge of iiostal
cases, lie was admitted to the
Federal court on motion, and will
take up his new duties next Monday.
Stewart has been in the postal 1
service eight years, and as an in-!
spector for this district, he has 1
earned an enviable reputation for j
keen, faithful work. Since his;
appointment in l'JOf, he ha3 han
dled some of the biggest criminal
cases that have come under the
supervision of the federal officials
and his careful preparation of
evidence has almost invariably
ed to indictments by the federal
grand jury.
In ferreting out the Ollie J.
Watkins swindle, he won the ap
probation of the entire depart
ment, and his persistent and re-
entless pursuit of the wny swin
dlers is mainly responsible for
the indictment of all the associ
ates of the late general manager
of the California Fruit Growers'
Association. .
In other matters, not as spec
tacular. Stewart has "made
good," and he is considered one
of the best posted inspectors em
ployed in the west. His know-
edge of law aided him matenal
y in his work. He was admitted
to practice in Oregon, after a
course of legal training in law
offices and the law department
of the University of Oregon.
He accepted the position.in the
United States District Attorney's
office to enter a broader field of
practice than that afforded by
the postal service.
Owinir to the rapidly increas
ing amount of postoffice business
that has required lederai prose
cution dunng the past year,
Lawler considered it necessary
to secure the appointment oi a
man familiar with that branch of
criminal practice, and Attorney
General Bonaparte authorized the
increase in the office force."
Frank Stewart was bom and
raised in Washington county,
and is a nephew of Mrs. 1 A.
iood, of this city. He left Hills
boro some eigni or nine years
l i r ' J - i ....ii t-vs

glad to learn that in the battle
of life he has "made good." His
father, Thomas Stewart, aieu

mother later married Dr. Adkins,
who is still in business here. She
died some five or six years ago.
