THE NEWBERG GRAPHIC JULY 7. 1910 N E W B E R G G R A P H IC NOT S A T I S F A C T O R Y NEW BERG. TO Since the building oi the South ern Pacific bridge fit O swego w as begun there has been a good deal o f speculation as to the run ning o f trains into Portland from the W est Side lines, and the follow in g announcement made in the Oregonian w ill be read w ith interest: “ A ll freight service and tw o otthe passenger trains no w oper atin g each w a y daily on the thoroughfare are t o be w ith draw n from the Fourth-street fine by the Southern Pacific, July 10, and operated over the Beaverton-W illsburg cutoff, jnst completed. The Fourth-street line w ill con tinue to handle one C orvallis train and t w o Forest Grove trains each w a y daily, or three I f the Oregon Legislature would retrieve itself and show that it is not altogether penny wise and dollar foolish, let it make a sub stantial appropriation for the erection o f an Oregon histprical building a t Portland. In the first place there is a real need lor such a building. The priceless historical collections o f the state and northwest need housing safely and adequately. Few states have such rich collections and Oregon should take a pride in providing a good home for them. In the second place it would advertise the people o f our state as being broad minded and progressive along such lines. A good state historical building would evince a commendable in terest in things other than pure- ly mercenary. States, like men, are known by the things they do which are not absolutely required o f them I f the voters o f Yam hill county are casting about for a man o f the right caliber to fill the office ol County Judge, w e would suggest th at J. L . Hoskins o f Newberg w ill stand the test and ring clear. ' He is not a learned la w yer but he is a man o f good business sense and one w h o has shown ab ility in the manage ment o f his ow n affairs; he is honest; he is capable; he made a p a i n s t a k i n g , accom m odating servant o f the people while he held the office o f County Record- er; he would give the same care- lui attention t o the details o f the office o f County Judge that he gives to his ow n business. I f this is thè type o f a man the voters are looking for, J. L. Hoskins w ill meet every requirement. Neither he nor any o f his friends have ever mentioned the subiect tq the w riter and we do not know th a t he would entertain such a proposition, but w e do know th at he would make a strong candidate and th at he would, it elected, earn his salary by givin g the people good and efficient service. O f Interest to the Fruit Grower. T h at there is urgent need of union in the fruit grow in g and marketing o f this section is ap parent to all. Some grow ers have already sold their prunes a t 5-Vi cents and others at 5 cent*' on a. basis of30-35. Others have marketed cherries at mere cost of labor and packages, while some have allowed the fruit to g o to waste rather than play a losing game. Our action is rather late, but ’tis better late than never.* We now desire to market our black caps and prunes to the very best advantage. The w riter was urged to ac cept the management o f this .work for the Union. He has ac cepted the w ork in the hope ot being helpful to his neighbors. He is a very busy man, has all the w ork he needs without this added duty. His work will be a pleasure if every fruit gro w er will do his duty and all pull t o gether. Our office is w ith the Newberg Manufacturing Co.--convenient to the depot. In our absence Mr. Nelson w ill take note o f what-you have to sell. N ow if every man in this vicinity w ho has black-caps (dried) or prunes to sell, whether many or few, w ill call and let us know so th a t we can act intelligently in hunt ing a market, it will aid us very much. r We are tryin g to w ork up a market tor green prunes.

Did You Eat a Biscuit that Under everlasting obligations to them, says an official of the Hu mane society, but how cruelly and thoughtlessly are they repaid by those who are most indebted to them. A horse is a noble animal— patient, kind hearted, self sacrific ing, willing to work till he dies in his bracks, uncomplaining, a lover of kind treatment and who is will ing to work a whole lifetime with no other compensation than his bed and board. Of the many things which make the'daily life of a horse miserable two arc blinders and the tight chcfck- rein, the worst parts of a horse’s harness. Very many people be lieve that they are part and parcel of a horse and that he would not be a horse without them. The majority of the horses could readily dispense with blinders, and all could if they had never been in vented. Blinders were first used by a nobleman in England to hide a defect on his horse’s head and later were found excellent locations for the displaying of his coat of arms. A horse’s head was never intend ed for blinders, for his eyes are so set in his head that he can see be hind him without turning his head, and of course the blinders deprive him ,of seeing the Tery things he should see for his own safety as well as his driver’s. A horse’s eye is a beautiful object, and it is a shame to cover i t Whenever I see a man driving a horse withont blinders I always feel like stopping him and shaking hands with him. A horse’s head is the best part of him and should have on it as little harness as pos- One of the trains to be removed from the street is the Forest G rove passenger, arrivin g in Portland n ow a t 11:50 A .M . and departing a t 1 P .M .

Overland pas sengers arrivin g a t the Union finiteci States Tfationai Stank trains o f the S.

When Russel H. Conwell spoke in Newberg a year a g o last w inter it cost him $50 to get to N ew berg trom Portland because the Portland H otel took him to the Union Depot, thinking the Newberg train left from there, and he had to pay the S.
