Editor Visits Reedville and
Finds it Prosperous and Happy
at Prospect of New Highway
One of the communities which
' has done its part nobly for the
Pacific Highway is the Reedville
section where the activity of the
live boosters has brought into
play practically every resource
of the community.
Last Monday, in company with
R. L. Tucker, member of Beaver
ton's hustling real estate firm,
the editor had the privilege of
visiting this hustling community
and viewing some of its activi
ties and industries. It was our
good fortune on Monday to meet
a few of these men and we do
not wonder that Reedville is al
ways ready with its quota, when
called, whether that quota be
work to be done, money to be
raised, men for the army, or en
thusiasm to be engendered.
A. G. Olinger, general mer
chant and live booster for his
community, was getting ready
to go to the city when we called
and in spite of being in a hurry
and asserting that he was feel
ing rather grouchy, gave us such
Many Dances Held This
Month Delight Beaverton
Folk and Aid Community
The social features of Beaver
ton are not being neglected this
month. Besides the regular
dances conducted every second
Saturday night by Woodward &
Cuoghlin, a number of special
dances are being held.
On Saturday, January 26, the
Honor Guard will give a dance
in Morse Hal to raise funds for
their -war work. , These dances
have alwaysproven popular with
the public for aside from the
worthy cause they support, the
girls are royal entertainers and
all who attend are amply repaid
because they get more real en
yojment for their money than
could be secured in any other
way.
On the 19th of the month an
all-night dance will be held at
Cedar Mills.
; But the crowning event that
will be of most thriling interest
to Beaverton people is the high
way dance, the date for which
has not yet been definitely ar
rangged, but which will be heldon January 16. Everyone will be

elected for the ensuing twelve
month.

a cordial reception and proved so
live a highway booster that we
are going back again so we may
meet him when he is feeling well
and has a little spare time on his
hands.
, Mr. Olinger has a remarkably
good general merchandise store,
enjoys a good trade and brings
tp his customers the convenienc
es of the city at their country
homes in a way that has won for'
him the support of some of the
best farmers in the county.They
all speak a good word for the
Reedville merchant.
There are about 8000 cords of
wood now on the sidings and the
yards at Reedville, but owing to
the difficulty and uncertainty of
getting cars, the shipment of the
wood this winter has not been so
heavy as it was in the fall.
The warehouse of J. B. Imlay
is well filled with grain and feed
but the difficulty of getting in
more shipments has worried him
the same as it has other dealers
in this county. Mr. Imlay has
the latter part of this month 'or
early next month. This dance
will be at once a celebration of
the establishment of the high
way and a means of furthering
the progress of the work and of
assuring a completion of a con
siderable portion of the highway
this season. Arangements are
in the hands of Elmer Stipe, W.
J, Lang nd R, L. Tucker, which
alone guarantees that the dance
wil be no ordinary affair. Watch
for the date and reserve that
night for the highway dance, for
you will enjoy it and at the same
time assist a worthy project
that serves your own interests
to the fullest extent.

certainty, to be one of the live
workers for the highway and is
always ready to do his part and
more for the advancement of the
community. He has sent to his
customers one of the nicest cal
endars for 1918 that we have
seen distributed this season.
L. R. Goit is the village black
smith at Reedville. But he has
a shop so well equipped that no
one need ever pass his shop when
looking for repair work.
A large and roomy shop is so
well stocked with material and
equipment that it is filled with
revelations for everyone who is
permitted to inspect it. Gasoline
power has been introduced to
drive numerous labor-saving ma
chines. Gas lights turn night
into day when the busy season
is on or when emergency calls
for repairs on short notice when
night has fallen. Attached to
