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

the terrific crashing of thunder

Monday afternoon, a team driven
by John Simpson of South Tuala

In the wagon with Mr. Simp

who pluckily held to the seat and

ELECTRIC CARS BY AUGUST 1.
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. Sold
under guarantee at the Delta Drug
store. 50c and $1.00. Trial bot
tle free.
J. A. Messinger leaves this
week for Sheridan, where he
goes to assume the management
of the Riverside hotel.
