The Weather.
The fore part of the week was
generally clear. During this per
iod the temperatures throughout
the day were unseasonably hiirh.
especially over the eastern coun
ties, though the temperature at
night did not vary much from
the normal. On Thursday, how
ever, there was a decided change
to cloudy and unseasonably cool
weather, which continued for the
remainder of the week. Fre-
ouent licht showers occurred dur-
at ner ing this latter period, accompan-

Mr. Atkins Pulls Out.
It has been a street rumor all
the week that N. L. Atkins, for
six years station agent at Forest
Grove, would enter the field as
an independent candidate for
county clerk and in act he did
make the announcr?omt that he
would cross bats with J. W. Bai

nee, and make a run for the po
sition, but he has decided not to
do so. He is now an employe of
tne uregon ectric comoanv.

As this is the last day for filing,
Mr. Hailey will have no opposi
tion for the ofhee, and it is ex
ceedingly doubtful if a man could
beat him anyway, he being the
primary election choice. It has
also been stated on the streets
that E. J. Godman would be Mr,
Atkins deputy, if . the latter
should be elected. ve are not
talking for Mr. Godman, but
think that the rumor is entirely
without foundation, for he has
been offered several good posi
tions as soon as his term of office
expires, ana it is no; nkely he

For a couple of days this week
nervous people were made more
nervous by a rumor that the
Oregon Electric people had de
cided to "cut out" Hillsboro and
way of Newberg because they
were being held-up by a few
property owners. Whether the
rumor was true or not cuts do
figure now, for everything is set
tied at last; the franchise grant
ed by the city council, property
owners have signed up, the grade
has been established along ash
ington street and men and teams
are at work all along the right-of-way.
The benefits to Hills
boro by the building of this line
from the Rose City, and then on
to the sea, cannot be enumerated
in cold type. It is enough to
know that we have got the line
and thing to do now is to throw
all differences to the wind and
all pull together for a better and
more beautiful Hillsboro.
