Hoakma Deceased. After an illness of several weeks Cyrus E. Hoskins died at his home at Springbrook on Tues day evening at the age o f 66 years leaving a widow and tw o brothers, A. M., now living at Lents, and J. L. Hoskins o f New berg. The deceased came to Oregon from Indiana, in 1877 and bought the land at Springbrook which be owned at the time o f his death. As soon as land could be cleared he began to set fruit trees and at once became an enthusiast in hor ticulture. He was one o f the first in the valley to engage in prune grow ing for commercial purposes and he made a good deal o f money in the business from a small orchard an the early days when prices were high. Later on he engaged in grow in g cherries and propa gated several new varieties Among which is the Hoskins. On account of the illness ot the only child, a daughter, who died a few years ago, the parents spent considerable time in travel, making an extended trip to the Hawaiian Islands and to differ ent points south. Some years a g o they bought a farm near Gold Hill, Jackson county, where they lived nntil last year when they sold the farm and returned t o Springbrook. Funeral services will be con ducted at the home on Friday af ternoon at tw o o ’clock. Those desiring to see the remains may •call between the hours o f ten and one o ’clock. New Company Organized. Since the destruction o f the Newberg Sash & Door Factory plant a short time ago, a good •deal o f uneasiness has been felt lest the plant wonld not be re built as the loss fell quite heavily on the new firm that had only been in possession o f it a tew days, but steps have been taken to rebuild on a much better basis and the public will rejoice to know that work will begin on clearing up the unsightly pile of rubbish in a very few days. The first ot the week articles ot incorporation were filed tor the Architectural, Manufacturing & Construction Co., the incorpo rators being Thomas Herd, N.C. Christenson, S. E. Watkins, J. Carl Nelson and H. 0 . Hanson, with the capital stock placed at 410,000. In addition to the manufacture ot sash and doors the new com pany expects to make counters, show cases, columns, mouldings and ornaments as well as to make concrete blocks for build ing. Plans will be furnished and general contracting and building will be engaged in. Work will be begun at an early day on a tw o story building 40x 80 feet which will'be constructed o f concrete blocks, and when the machinery is installed Newberg will have reason to be proud of the new plant. The company is made up en tirely ot Newberg people, all of whom are experienced business men, and they deserve the hearty support of the public, which they will no doubt receive. Keeping Out o f Debt. Indebtedness is a financial can cer, which, if allowed to develop, will involve oar entire business relations, and in the end eat np onr substance and ruin our char acters. First—And this applies especial ly to young men, the tendency to spend money too freely for the gratification o f imaginary wants, things which they believe they must have, but without which they would be better off. Second—The tendency towards living just a little more expen sively than present circumstances will permit, foolishly believing in good fortunes of the future. Third—And we might say the most universal cause ofindebted- ness and national bard times is i n d i v i d u a l extravagance. In times ot prosperity people rush blindly along, living each day the fiill extent o f their income, forget ting that prosperity and adver sity follow each "other in alter nate waves, and that obligations contracted in prosperous times come due in dull times, and are also augmented by the relative condition ot the times. T oo many are using today what they expect to earn tomor row. Credit prevents us from realizing the true value o f money, and having the full control over our own affairs. We all have more or less love for the real dol lars, and while we may see many things we would like very much, the rapidly lessening amount o f cash on hand warns us to stop long before the page o f a book acconnt will be filled. Ot course there are some who are unfortunate and who have been brought into reduced cir cumstances by sickness or other outside influences over which they have no control, but in many in stances it is their own fault that they are not better equipped, for to the most of us comes a chance sometime to prepare something for a rainy day. Let every one live within his or her means, for if we do not man age to live honestly within onr own means, we must live dishon estly upon the means o f some one else. ■ There was once a man who got rich because o f the things he did not b n j. Wear the old coat a little longer ii necessary. You will feel more respectable inr a shiny coat that is paid for, than dodging your tailor in a new $60 suit. Never purchase anything which you cannot pay for on the sp ot if necessary. You will be able to buy a home only with the dollars you do not spend. Longfellow says, “ Trust no fu ture, howe’er pleasant.” De ferred payments always come due. A debt is a good thing to pluck in the bud. In prosperity, prepare for adversity. HODSON BROS. East First Street Anticipation fell short o f the actual attendance and success of the Oregon Good Roads Confer ence held at the Portland Com mercial Clnb on the 12th. From every corner o f the state came men having the vital interests ot Oregon at heart. It was decided to immediately undertake the raising o f $10,000 for an intense ly active campaign. Judge Lio nel R. Webster, o f Multnomah County, and Judge John H. Scott, ot Marion county will lead in this A ork, devoting their entire ^ m é fa it. Another convention o f national •cope for Oregon next year is the welcome news that comes back from OesMoines, Iowa, where the American Association o f Mu tual Insurance Companies has been assembled. This means be tween 500 and 60 0delegates, the majority o f whom have never vissted the Coast, since the As sociation has never held a West ern meeting. Four hundred thousand feet ot lumber were bought by Swift & Co. this week for use on their townsite near the plant now be ing built. Twenty-five dwellings will be started immediately, some quite pretentious for the officers o f the company. Hun dreds of smaller homes will go up as rapidly as practicable. Poultry is to have its due re cognition at the livestock show in September. Over $500 in prizes is offered and the interest may be judged from the fact that already over one thousand en tries are booked. Poultry means almost $5,000,000 to Oregon annually1. Eagle Valley, in Baker County, is planning a “ Harvest Home Picnic” for the 3rd and 4th ol September. The whole county will join in the holiday—the very name o f the event guarantees en joyment. Secretary W. L. Crissey, ot the Oregon State Dairy Association, has been advised that Hon. Ed. H. Webster, Chief o f Dairy Divi sion, U. S. Department o f Agri culture, is contemplating a trip to the Pacific Northwest to par ticipate in the convention of the Oregon Association December 10th and 11th. The nose is the high sign tor a man’s nationality, a home tor freckles and a thermometer lor cold weather. It is the Jew’s misfortune and the politician’s headlight. I don’t nose I know a great deal about the nose anyway. I have what has been frequent ly called an outgoing nose. It looks something like a potato and some like a peeled onion. I got the nose from my parents and they got it from their par ents. And so on back into the more or less remote past. This nose o f mine, I suppose, has been dodging around from generation to generation nntil it finally landed where it is at last con tented. But you can’ t blame me for my nose. I didn’t choose it. If I had been choosing I would have taken a Roman nose, but 1 didn’ t have any choice. It is all I can do to pick my teeth. I hope my nose stays where it is now instead o f trying to butt into posterity. I can’t say that it is such a howling success, but at the same time I would hateto lose it, now that I have become so well acquainted with it and have gotten used to its ways. It has become a little red and shiny in spots and has been mis taken a time or tw o for an arc light or a bicycle lamp.
