When the new publisher of The Beaverton Times decided to continue the publication of the paper as his own venture after being associated with the people of Beaverton for several weeks as an employee of the former publisher, it was with a feeling of confidence in the future of the town, of faith in the worth of its people and of hope in his ' ability to be of such service to the town and its people that they would be glad that he came. We have ambitions for ourselves, but these are secondary to our ambitions for the town in which we are to make our home. verton has good schools; but we want to help make them better schools. There are some good roads leading to Beaverton, but there are not enough of them and we hope to be helpful in in creasing the number and im proving the quality of these very necessary elements in the prog ress of the community and the prosperity of farmer and towns man alike. The interests of the various communities in the valley are mutual and almost identical and it shall be the purpose of this pa per to further a spirit of co-operation among these communities, the worth of which has been so graphically shown by the suc cessful campaign recently car ried out for the location of the Pacific Highway through this part of the county. Highways are not the only things worth striving for and not by any means the only valuable assets which co-operative effort will secure. On another page will be found the announcement that this pa per will appear next week as a twice-a-week publication. The announcement goes on to state that this innovation is In the na ture of an experiment and its continuance will depend upon the reception it is accorded by the readers. Expressions are invited and upon these expressions will depend largely the continuation of the twice-a-week feature. Do you like it? Do you want your local news oftener than once a week? If you do, please remem ber that one of the most accept able ways in which you can ex press that approval is to see that the news items which come under your observation reach us promptly. Will you help to make this paper what you want it to be? Will you make it your per sonal business to see that the the things you want to see in the paper reach us in time for publication? This is your paper and what it is depends largely upon you. This is your county- your community and wnat county and community are will depend altogether upon the peo ple who live therein. What out siders think of county and com munity will depend largely upon the class of newspapers pub lished therein, for the newspa per is the most widely distribut ed representative of the community. The new publisher of the Bea verton Times asks your co-oper ation in making this the most widely read and most thoroughly representative newspaper to be found in the smaller cities of the state, not so much from selfish motives of personal gain as from the good that it will do for this part of Washington County and incidentally to each one of us individually. ana, Jr., and Win.

Mason Phone Calls Answered Day and Night Beaverton people should not overlook the opportunity afford them to support the budget for the county road expenditures to be discussed at the courthouse in Hillsboro tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Beaverton has enjoy the fairest treatment that any community could ask at the hands of the county court in the road matter and no resident of this vicinity or any of those of our neighbors who are in any manner interested in the estab lishment of the highway, should let anything stand in the way of attendance at the budget meet ing tomorrow morning. The members of the court should not be permitted to feel that there is any lack of interest on the part of the residents of this part of the county. This is a meeting called for the benefit of the taxpayers and residents of the county and those who are in terested in the establishment and construction of the highway should be foremost in attendance at the budget discussion. J. Frank Stroud and W. C. Mc- Kell have been boosting for at tendance at this meeting, but if they haven't asked you it is not because they don't want you to attend. And besides, its as much your meeting as theirs, anyway.

It is reported that the Barnes school pupils intend to hold their Christmas program .at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. It is not yet known whether the churches will hold their pro grams at the same time, but if they should do so it will disap point several people as many of the pupils are on both church and school programs. Mr. and Mrs. John Trachsel and children visited with Santa Claus in Portland Wednesday. This neighborhood is visited very frequently now by people looking for Christmas trees. A number of commuters were late to work last week owing to a tree falling across the high tension wires of the Oregon Electric. The power had to be shut off as the tree was large and it took quite a time to clear the track so trains could proceed. The four schoolboys who at tend the Beaverton schools have quite a time wading through the mud to the train so early these mornings. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Keehn expect their daughter, Eliza beth, home for the Christmas holiday. She expects to arrive Sunday evening. Mrs. Albert Brant has been confined to her bed lately on ac count of a Severe illlness. Mi-. Holsheimer paid a visit to Fort Stevens to see his son Philip. Needless to say, they were both pleased.

A let has been made that htere will he an average of an inch of snow on the ground before January first. Merry peals of delighted laughter in the smoker of the train the other night attracted the attention of fellow passen gers to two men who had un doubtedly met after a long sep aration. One proved to be Coun ty Clerk H.A.Kuratli and the other a lifelong friend. The happiness of both was contagi ous an da number of gleeful reminiscenses of the "good old days" of the "Bethany Cornet Band" were overheard and en joyed.
