Beaverton, Oregon, Scarcely a day passes but someone calls our attention to the need for a sewer system for Beaverton. It is an improvement which must come soon to Beaverton and the sooner the better for the health. Comfort and convenience of all concerned. Word comes from the County Judge that as soon as the weath er will permit the rock quarries will be opened. The Town Council has announced its intention to lay the base for the paving in our principal streets as soon as the rock is available. It is the. intention of a sufficient majority of the property owners along that principal street to extend the paving to the curb line. This can be done in the most economical manner if done at the same time that the DavinEr on the state highway is laid. It is hiehlv imDortant. then, that steps should be taken at once to provide the necessary funds for this purpose that the paving may be done in the Best ana most economical manner. Anrl knowing that the sewer svstem must come sooner or later, is it not the part of wisdom to consider it at the same time that the mains may be lain Deiore tne paving or even me roc uase is uuu, so that there may be neither the cost of digging through these ma terials nor the unsatisfactory and expensive tearing up of our pav ing the next year after it is laid. It is not characteristic of Beaverton people to do things quickly but it is a well recognized fact that they do them well. Bearing this fact in mind, is it not well to take some immediate otnna in this direction, that there may be no embarassing and ex pensive delays when the time comes for laying paMng. Paving is otten delayed, out wnen paving cuinpames uiice gcf i;uuu-i w.r will not wait for us. It may be necessary to amend the charter in order to raise the nor-paaarv funds for Having and sewers. This should never be done hurriedly. Is it not time, then, that something be done to deter mine the wishes of our townspeople iri this matter and to prepare for the demand that is sure to come at no great distant date. AN ASSET TO BEAVERTON. Beaverton is particularly fortunate because of the location of the Pacific Potato Starch factory in this vicinity at this time. Be ing, as it is, the first factory of its kind in America, it carries im mense possibilities for making this town the center of a new indus rw nther f Rrtnries are makine Dotato starch : others are making land marketing potato flour; but no other iu the country is doing what this factory is now doing and proposes o do in the future for the grower; no other takes from the raw material so many of the markefrMe F" 'net'' and n0 other so far eiimirtes the waste as this factory will do. Hence, Beaverton, Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest generally will profit by the location of the lactory here. The worth of the potato is being more fully recognized today than ever before. The new process that makes from it so great a variety of food products will add to its popularity. The difficulty of securing machines for the refining processes will have a tenden cy to make this plant a refining center to which will be shipped the product of the elementary processes of other factories. Potatoes are practically three-fourths water. Any process that will elimin ate the water can be used to prepare them for shipment to thjs cen tral factory for refinement and marketing. Truly, we have in this factor y an asset worth prizing at high worth. n a 7 m SLEEPS 1A 4-room house and g This Tear carefillly pUn your r Rfi plantings chooK one lot, 50x1 00, close (ood Md c""-- , , ..

R. Fujumura made a business visit in Beaverton Wednesday. An Oregon Electric freight train bound towards Portland ran into and killed a Holstein cow of Teddy Shalsberger's. The accident happened on the west side of the trestle west of Elmonica. Teddy has good fences around his pastures and his cattle rarely get out, let alone getting on the railroad track. The motorman sounded his whistle and bells but as he expected the cowto "vamoose" and as he was on a down hill grade with quite a number of cars he made little effort to stop. The cow was knocked down and run over. It was instantly killed and a flat car that had a defect in its coupling loosed itself and jumped the track rolling down the gulch. The car was broken up and the iron beaten into fantastic shapes, It is reported that the brakemen jumped off the cars as they hit the cow, knowing of the defect in the coupling. This happened at eleven fifteen Monday. Mr. William Warfle and Philip Holsheimer, privates in the U. S. army have been visiting their homes. Mrs. J.
