CHANGES.
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.

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.

last evening with samples of
bats grown on a ten acre tract
in Fruitful Land, now known as
Sorrento, which he secured not
long ago from J. T. Melloy. The
oats were sown with vetch and
produced an excellent crop of
hay, showing the value of early
seeding as this crop was sown in
February. The oats were slight

the pupils are on both church
and school programs.

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.
