Entered in the.Postoffice, at BeavertonV Oregon, as second class matter.
To take what is held out to you
lis never out of -place, and the
;iost diligent of the mob known
.as cranks will not criticise such
procedure. . The east end of
Washington county .has started
i something, though perhaps it
'.took but.a little to start it, lets
ikeen.it iraing."
,We have -been .granted the
right to a new road into Port-land.'-
We of. the east end should
feel flattered : that a portion of
.the county so small, as the. Judge
.would express it, is looked upon
with so much favor. :To con
tinue the good work, an item in
the county budget allows the
. surh of $10,000 tobuild this road.
It has been said that this sum
will .ov-er it with a species of
Jiaid. surf ace . which the county
.has been laying for Hillaboro
and Forest Grove. No doubt it
.will if some one has not made a
mistake in the matter and under
estimated the size of . a ten thou
sand wad.
The .idea, however', is this;
iiiext -Saturday is. hudget day at
ithe courthouse and as things are
lined up there are some portions
-of the county out to defeat -our
share of it Lets get together
and go-up to Hillsboro -with', the
.express idea -of earryin-g the
thing -through We need the
-.cash for a road. One good act
mav'lead-to another and place us
on the list for .more another
-year.
At any rate if the money is
Offered us lets go and take it no
macter how we feel -about the
new highway.

"Foresters will tell questioners that In

sponsible In most instances Tori the

. When, a tree Is young the weight of
! snow that falls on Its branches arten
bends the trunk over until It is flat
tened to the ground. Sometimes it is
buried under six or eight feet of snow
. and held in that position so long (that
, whcn warm weather comes the tree
' fails to spring back Into its normal po
sition.

"The Beaverton Times, reduced
-its size tost week to half, of its
former size, giving as the reason
the mrrprise eost-of ..naper and
the lack f .financial support in
the way of advertising, which is
-the life blood of any country
.weekly. The Beaverton teople
should appreciate the. efforts of
their local taoer and give it
every support they can. A small
town showing ' bank -deposits of
over $100,000 in their bank and
, doesn't, give support to its home

VAMPIRE" BATS OF PERU. '
These 'Bloodsucking . Animals Have
Bulldog Heads.
On the morning after our arrival at
Ban Miguel ' bridge Feru) the pack
limits ncarly-dll showed-blood blotches
on their withersand bat-Us, -where they
bad been attacked during the night by
viimnire bats which had fed on their
blood. "This' bat,; Desmodus rotundus,
is plentifully distributed ..throughout
Peru in altitudes below 10,000 feet.
It'is one Of the most highly special
ized species of existing bats. " The lower
law is decidedlv undershot, and the
head, with- its short cropped ears and
broad muzzle; has a strikingly bulldog
appearance. The legs.-are well devel
oped and rather heavy, enabling the
animal to .move fairly rapidly on the
ground, in which situation It is by no
-means the shuffling, helpless creature
like many other bats. If molested whan
Ihvown to. the grcuud it .will turn and
bite savagely. - '
'The teeth are a highly modified cut
ting apparatus for making incisions In
the skins of mammals and birds.
In habits they are sociable and-are
commonly found living in caves or tun
nels, suspended from - the ceiling iu
clusters often of immense size. Na

Aider Dye.
For the purpose of niaking dyes. the
common alder appears to have been
unnoticed by the pioneers of this coun
try, who made .use of- so Inany barks
and roots. However, it was ..well
Unowu to-the Iiiuiaus, who nsedlt to
good effect. It dyes a reddish color,
ami down to a few years ago wa-;em-ployed
by natives of the northwest
. Pacific coast in coloring ttcir fish nets.
Alder dye, used for the same purpose,
is said to be the oldest recorded dye In
the world. It is mentioned in the
Kalevala of Finland, supposed to date
ne-irv 3.000 years ago. .
