C E. 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.

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.

misfortune and the politician’s

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
