and it also records the first ac
five work on the new electric
railway, known as the Oregon
Electric, runnin"; from Salem
At 7 o'clock in the morninj? fifty
teams and a hundred or more
men gathered on Washington
street and soon dirt was flyinj?
in earnest, and when f o'clock
in the evening came, ties and
steel were laid to Second street
and the roadbed opened and lev
eled to Fourth. From the east
ern limits ot the city a icanir ot
men and teams were working
west and were in sight of the
down town crew at supper time.
An immense crowd lined the
right-of-way all day, eager to see
the men and teams at work and
very jubilant over the fact that
the long-expected road had at
last been commenced and was a
certainty. The coming of thi
line marks a new era in the fu
ture prosperity of this city, and
when in active operation it means
that many new faces will be add
ed to our population and hun
dreds of new homes go up which
will house persons now living in
Portland as well as those from
abroad, who will be looking for
homes near the metropolis.
And another thing which will
mark this election day is the fact
that at no time in the history of
Washington county was there
ever such an interest taken in
the prohibition question. Men
who two years ago would have
felt insulted had you so much as
suggested local option to them,
were out and working hard for
the measure. And the women,
too, were at the iwlls early and
remained until the last vote was
cast, doing all they could to in
duce men to vote against the sa
loons, which in more cases than
one in this city are casting a
blight over their home life.
The ladies furnished free colfee
to all who wished a "bracer"
without the after eil'ect. and
very many men took advantage
of their thoughtfulness and en
joyed the lunch immensely. And
right here we wish to add that
it is a good thing that the wo
men folks use the tire depart
ment room of city hall, for other
wise dust, cobwebs and pure un
adulterated dirt would have an
everlasting abiding place.
All day long the ladies passed
out cards on which were printed
"We trust you to veto the saloons
out for us," while the opposition
handed out by the hundreds lit
tle pastltoards bearing what they
expected would cinch the whole
thing, and read: "Ioyou want
prohibition and blind pig whis
key? Or are you willing to pro
tect the hop interests? If so.
vote against prohibition. To vote
against prohibition mark an X
after No. (0. " Our valiant city
marshal showed his gallantry by
ordering the women away from
the polls, but it took courage for
them to go to the iWls and make
the tight they did. and they re
refused to go. knowing well that
there were plenty of men in the
crowd who would not see them i
harmed. Just where the city
marshal gets his authority to al
low a lot of men to stand about
the door of city hall and peddle
tickets all day and refuse the
same privilege to the ladies, and
with much less noise, is a ques
tion he may be called ui)on to
answer for when the next officer
is named for this city.
Hut take it altogether the day
passed without very much ex
citement and but two or three
rows. Several persons exhibited
a beautiful "jag," and one indi
vidual offered a lady who handed
him a card, a drink from a bottle
of whiskey he displayed for the
benefit of the crowd. But as
there was no more than he need
ed in ids business, &he refused.
! A wife-beater, only recently out
of jail, told the ladies that they
might better be at home rocking
the cradle and attending to their
own business," but this valuable
ail vice did not phase them in
their good work.
When 7 o'clock came and the
polls closed, about everybody
who cared to had deposited his
ballot, and the largest vote ever
polled in Ilillsboro, or Washing
ton county, was in the boxes,
and the already tired judges and
clerks took olf their coats am
went to work on the count which
took all night.
The table, published on the
fourth pag i;5 as near correct as
it- is possible to get it at this
time, but it will give the votes
polled for the different candl
dates and will be found as near
correct as it can be had at this
time. The figure may be chang
ed sugntiy, out not enougn to
materially affect the general re
sult.
At the time of going to press
on this side, the result shows
the election of the entire repub
lican county ticket, with the pos
sible exception of J. W. Bailey.
The unofficial returns give him a
majority of 29. The balance of
the ticket, all republicans, is as
follows: Sheriff, Geo. Hancock,
of Forest Grove; recorder, Willis
Ireland; school superintendent,
M. C. Case; treasurer, W. M.
Jackson; surveyor, L. C. Walker;
assessor, Max Crandall; coroner,
E. C. Brown; county commis
sioner, John McLlaran. the leg
islative ticket is Dr. W. D. Wood,
senator; Dr. I lines, of Forest
Grove; S. A. I). Meek, of Moun
taindale, and Ii. H. Greer, rep
resentative. Local option failed in North
Ilillsboro, but carried in South
Ilillsboro.

Fire which originated in a de

The alarm was sounded at G:50

The household efTects were re

quiet manner in Ilillsboro last
Saturday, almost every place of
business being closed from 12
o'clock until (. At 10 o'clock
the old soldiers gathered on Main
street and with members of the
Woman's Relief Corps, wended
their way to the "silent city of
the dead," where, as has been
the custom for many years,
flowers were scattered over the
resting place of the "boys" who
are sleeping there. Many school
children and quite a number of
citizens accompanied the proces
sion of faithful mourners and
roses and other flowers were in
great abundance.

GOOD BYE.
With this issue the undersign
ed lays down his work as publish
er and editor of The Ilillsboro I n
depent Four years ago last
March we purchased the plant,
at that time a broken down, di
lapidated affair, and by hard
work and a close application to
business have made it one of the
best paying papers, and the best
equipped office in this section.
Whether we have published a
.1 i ii
ciwaii, ruauaOie paper, our reau-1
era are left to pass the verdict.
At least, we did the best we
could, and have no apologies to
offer.
On Tuesday last we sold this
office, subscription list arid good
will to S. C. Killen. for four years
at the head of the mechanical de
partment of the Portland Journal,
an old newspaper publisher, and,
we are proud to say, a republican
of the true blue variety. He
comes" to this city an entire
stranger and will soon move his
family here and become one of
the energetic workers for Ilills
boro and its future prosperity.
We bespeak for him and his the
kindly welcome the people of
this city always extends to
strangers, for they will prove
worthy residents and a very de
sirable increase to our fast in
creasing population.
Laying down our newspaper
work does not mean that we are
to remain idle. We have earned
a rest, and perhaps our readers
feel the same way. At any rate
we intend to devote considerable
time out of doors and latter go
into business which will be less
confining than office work.
All accounts due this office for
advertising and job work will be
paid to us and all debts of the In
dependent up to June 1 will be
be paid by us. . The sub
scription list is the property of
the new management. Subscri
bers who have paid in advance
will contine to receive the paper,
and those owing on subscription
can pay Mr. Killen or at the of
fice.
We wish to thank our friends
and patrons for their generous
support and the many favors
shown us during our four years'
labors here and assure them it is
appreciated. We hope the same
courteous treatment will be ex
tended to our successor.
It is not our intention to leave
Ilillsboro. Our home is here, our
best interests are here, and we
know of no better town in the
whole state of Oregon to live in,
and here we shall remain. In
saying "good bye" it refers only
to our work in the newspaper
field and office work.
