WM. McMURRAY. G. r. a. A united boost for Washington county was the keynote of the meeting held at the court house Friday evening under the au spices of the Washington County Development League. Judge Hollis of Forest Grove presided, and in owning the meeting spoke of the campaign of publicity in which many Ore gon counties have embarked. He pointed out the fact that while the individual efforts of commun ities were sometimes without ap parent result, a united effort was bound to be successful and urged his hearers to join the procession forming to boost the county rath er than to flock off in a little pro cession of their own. Dr. Tamiesie spoke briefly along the same lines. He touch ed on the benefit bound to accrue to Hillsboro by the opening of the new electric line, and ex pressed the hope that it be ex tended beyond the city, that the whole county might share alike. He was followed by William B, Wells, northwest manager of Sunset Magazine, whose theme was civic pride. He told of the successful campaign of exploita tion of Medford, Ashland, Grants 'ass, Albany and other towns, and explained the advertising campaign of the Southern Faci- carried on by Sunset. lie showed that the plan was not one of profit to the magazine, but simply an effort to induce settle ment along the lines of the road. Tbe Harriman lines were anxious to assist communities which showed a disposition to help themselves. The most effectual way to reach prospective immi grants was in their homes, and the purpose of the company was to reach them with descriptive literature and help them in reach ing a decision on the new home before leaving the old. E. G. Adams, also of Sunset, followed Mr. Wells and spoke along the same lines. To illus trate the importance of going after things rather than to wait for them, he told the story of the old darkey with a fondness for chicken who had hisminis ter as a guest at dinner. The minister, also fond of chicken, believing in the efficacy of prayer, said he would pray that a chick en be sent him, but his host be lieved that a prayer that hp be sent after the chicken would bring quicker results. The last speaker was W. II. Wehrung, who emphasized the necessity of prompt action. He spoke of his work in connection with the Oregon exhibit at the Seattle exposition and called at tention to the fact that prepara tions for the exhibit must begin at once. The county court has expressed a willmgnoss to appro priate $1,000 toward the fund, and the speaker indorsed the Sunset plan as being the one best calculated to give the kind of lit erature required. It was impor tant that a high grade of work be presented, which would be read and preserved and not thrown away after a hasty glance. Judge Hollis then called for subscriptions to launch the cam paign. A fund of $3,000 was de sired, of which the county would contribute $1,000. but the fund was not necessarily limited to fc?,(HH. for more could be used to I moncyback? advantage, i no-appeal was no erauy responded to! John Simpson and Young Grandson Receive Severe Shaking Up. Frightened beyond control by the terrific crashing of thunder during the storm about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, a team driven by John Simpson of South Tuala tin dashed north on Second street, narrowly missing pedes trians and grazing the vehicles lining the thoroughfare. In the wagon with Mr. Simp son was his 5-year-old grandson, who pluckily held to the seat and remained cool during the dizzy flight.

Rapid Construction Work Makes This Certain. Some comment was occasioned Monday by the construction crew of the electric road resuming work on the completed track east of Second street. It was found that an error was made in laying the track, and the grade was from two to five inches higher than that established by the en gineers. It was necessary to bring the entire crew back to the completed portion, as an enorm ous amount of excavation was necessary. The crew east of the city is making rapid progress, and bar ring mishaps will soon meet the Hillsboro gang. Work is progressing rapidly near Beaverton, where a large torce is at work, and it seems certain that the promise of the company to have cars running into Hillsboro by August 1 will be an accomplished fact BACCALAUREATE SERMON. ENGINEER WIELDS AX HIS FIREMAN VICTIM OF BLOWS. Bad Blood Leads lo Encounter at Condenser Which May Have Fatal Results. Graduating Class Listens to Scholar ly Address at Christian Church. Last Sunday evening the Chris tian church of Hillsboro was fill ed to overflowing by the rela tives, teachers and friends of the public school children. The de corations were leaves, ferns and roses, and hanging above the pulpit was the Ninth grade mot to, "Finish What You Attempt," in letters of old rose and pearl gray. Ihe isinth and bighth grades wore their class ribbons and roses and were a pleasing sight. The choir sang, led by Mr. and Mrs. Webb, vocalists; Bruce Wilkes, violinist, and Miss Ger trude Ray, organist. Rev. Beery of the Christian church gave the address which was replete with good thoughts. The building of a castle wa3 his theme, as figurative of life. First, it must be attractive and have a good sight, here he ex pressed his disappointment at not having a high school. Why peo ple should vote lor a university appropriation and leave out the high school that is the link be tween the public school and uni versity was to be deplored. Sec ond, it must be durable, and here he gave excellent advice to par ents for the care of their child ren, and to the classes against the evils of all destroying habits that undermine the health, among them being the deadly cigarette. Third, the furnishings must be of the best; good books, good friends, good surroundings, make god thoughts. Summing his address, attrac tiveness, durability, high mo tives bring the best type of men and women whose lives are for character, and make the world the abiding place for the glory of God. Bad feeling which has existed for some time between H. H. Wellbon, engineer at the conden ser, and George Led ford, fire man, culminated luesday morn ing in an encounter in which IxhI ford was severely cut by an ax in the hands of the enraged en Wellbon was arrested by Sher iff Connell shortly after the af fray and placed in the county jail, charged with assault with a deadly weapon. According to the story told by Ledford he has been the victim of constant abuse from the engi neer ever since the latter assum ed his position about a month ago. He says Wellbon entered the engine room before the trou ble and began a tirade of abuse, following which he seized the ax and attacked him. Iiedford re ceived a long gash on the left frontal bone, cutting through the scalp and denting but not frac turing the bone. The ax, a dou ble bitted one, struck a glancing blow after he had fallen, making a second wound immediately back of the first. Ledford claims that only the interference of Electrician Light- foot, who was attracted by his cries, saved him from death at the hands of Wellbon. There were no witnesses to the encoun ter. Dr. Tamiesie was called and dressed the injuries, and IahI ford was removed to his home on Fir street, between Second and Third. No serious results are anticipated unless blood poison ing sets in. Wellbon's story of the trouble differs materially from that told by his fireman. He admits that bad blood existed between them, but claims that Ledford attacked him with a poker, and in defend ing himself he seized the ax to ward off the threatening blows. He claims the wounding of IamI ford to be entirely an accident. and caused by his losing control of the ax in his efforts to defend himself. He has a family in Se attle. Sudden Death at Beaverton. While spraying prune trees at the farm of John Waugh, five miles south of Beaverton, Thom as Waugh, aged 67, was over come by the heat, collapsed and died instantly. Coroner Brown was called and returned to Hills boro Tuesday bringing with him the personal property of deceas ed, which was turned over to the county treasurer. Waugh was a member of the Masonic frater nity, a card of a Kansas lodge being found in his possession. and a Portland lodge took charge of the remains. Efforts to com municate with his relatives have so far failed. Thinks It Saved His LJfe. Lester M. Nelson, of Naples, Maine, says in a recent letter: "I have used Dr. King's New Discov ery many years for coughs and colds, and I think it saved ray lite. I have found it a reliable remedy for throat and lung complaints, ami would no more be without a lott!e than I would be without food.'' For nearly forty years New Discov ery has stood at the head of throat and lung remedies. As a preven tive of pneumonia, and healer of weak lungs it has no equal.
