If when you do a kind act-you
should fatally wait for the grati
tude) you might thereby miss the
opportunity of doing another,
and failing to get what you have
foolishly desired, lose all the joy
of life, or, having got it, lose the
other chances of being satisfied.
Best keep on trying then; what
is done for others yaU have done
twice for yourself, for what is
your end and object than happi
ness, which never follows greed?
A piano is never a foolish pos
session Every time you spend a dollar
put it some place where you can
get a vote coupon and tHen turn
it over to your chosen candidate.
You won't be the only one doing
this, and how do you know but
that your little help1 will turn the
tncK and put the prize where you
want it? You people who get out
of yourselves once in awhile and
do something for somebody else,
are beginning to learn the true
secret of a happy life, and once
you get in the way you will keep
it up forever you will speedily
3ee tnat tne millennium is no
fickle dream, but a blessed real
ity, to be brought about by just
such simple means.
No use to shout about the vir
tue of the piano' or other prizes.
All have become familiar with
them. ' Now fa, the time for
steady, determined effort, the
kind that wears and tears and
makes character in the doing.
Every one of these contestants,
who have been working for the
prize, will be the better for the
effort, even though there is only
one piano and only one who can
get it.
Who is to be the one? That is
to be the momentous question.
Do they 'at times see a vision of
the dray stopping at their door,
the men unload, trarhping into the
Mouse with the beautiful instru
ment, tlie reward of their prow
ess and endeavor. How much
interest did you fake in such a
dream? Have you not dreams of
your own? And how would you
feel to have them realized? Don't
you think you would have very
much the same feeling could in
some way assist br have assisted
in the realization of some such
laudable, ambition? Try it and
see. Put forth the effort. Bear
in mind some bf the contestants
whom . you would like to see a
Winner and then go but ar.d
work,
When one caii play it, all with
in reach of its sweet sound are
benefitted thereby,
teraember that five of our lead'
ing merchants are interested in
this contest and give 25 vote cou
pons with every dollar's cash
purchase to those who ask for
them.

The Chamber of Commerce is
becoming very active, and is
planning many things which will
benefit both the City Of Bejver
ton and the surrounding country.
Last Thursday evening they met
in regular session in Cady hall,
when many things of interest to
the community were discussed,
and plans laid for its betterment
The organization being slightly
in debt and in need of funds to
carry on the work, it was decided
that an entertainment of some
nature must be given,' Several
members thought a dance would
bring the needed results' if it
were run as tne last one was,
when every member tooK three
tickets, selling two ahd keeping
the other for himself.
After considerable argument
this form of entertainment was
overruled and it was decided to
give a program full df stunts by
local talent, charging twenty-five
cents for the admission. The
date was, set for the second!
Thursday m April. Thd follow
ing committee was then Appoint
ed to instill the necessary vim
into the event: I, Stipe, W. C.
McKelli and Dcy Grays
As the spring was coming on,
several believed it was time to
begin the clean up agitation. The
time was thought to early in the
season to begin this work) and
so it was laid aside till the next
meeting.
J. W. Rayhard, of the Scholls
Telephone Co. was present and
told the club of the road troubles
in his district, where he stated,
they had spent $20,000 worth of
special tax in the past five years
and their roads were now little
better than the average road.
He figures that the return will
hardly amount to twenty-five
cents on tlie dollar. In his dis
trict the sentiment favors bond
ing, but the present road laws
forbid the bonding df separate
road districts.
The proposition of getting the
road money spent throughout the
district where it, would do the
most good and at the same, time
where the taxpayers wanted it
laid, was discussed., . L. L, Gil
bert stated, that he believed
the County judge would have the
money spent where the district
recommended it should be spent.
He then appointed a committee
consisting of M. P. Cady, A. W.
Pike and himself to go over the
roads with tha supervisor. When
tin's has been accomplished, cer
tain improvements will be asked
of the County Court and help
will be requested, ' I
A committee consisting of T.'!
W. Zimmerman, S. H. Davis, i
and A. W. Pike were appointed I
to for the purpose of bringing about k
co-operation between each of the I
Commercial Clubs throughout the
county. If this movement can!
be successfully accomplished it I
will bring about a closer relation I
ship between all parts of the 1
county. J
In order to bring about a
stronger organization Itwaade'J
cided to begin an active cam T
paign for More members as thers r
are many public spirited men in,
the community who do not be
long to the Beaverton Chamber
of Commerce. For this purpose
the following Committee was spi
pointed: M. P. Cady. E. L".
