The new half day attendance
for high school youngsters—
what a boon it must be to the
boys since the open season for
fishing is at hand.
The Aurora Observer, success­
o r to the “ Borealis” and Hop Re­
porter, will_ celebrate its nine­
teenth anniversary next month
with a special edition.
Candidates have mostly been a
b it timid in letting their wants
be known here in Yamhill coun­
ty, but the warm spring sun is
bringing them out rapidly now

numbers on the home stretch.
The loss o f a life at Tigard
last Sunday caused by a fast
through train on the Oregon
Electric striking an automobile
on the crossing, was the result
of the driver o f the automobile,
who was the husband o f the un­
fortunate victim, failing to ob­
serve the w aning,
“ Safety
First.”
He admitted that he
saw the train coming, but not
realising that it waa a limited
and thinking it would stop at the
station drove on, and when he
saw his mistake, could not stop
his car in time to avoid the
wreck. Evidently he was doing
just what a very large majority
o f auto driven do on approach­
ing railroad crossings and other
places o f danger, namely, failed
to check the speed o f his car in
time to be sure that there was no
danger. We witness instances
of this kind almost every day
and it is little wonder that the
business o f surgeons and under­
takers has multiplied rapidly
with the coining o f motor driven
vehicles.
