FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1919 WITH A HIGHWAY COMING Beaverxra is alroady showing re' markable signs of the prosperity that is to come to Washington Coun ty with the laying of the pavement on the Pacific Highway. Actual work on the road building is still some weeks away, but already two new businesses have sprung up in town and another has changed hands, while announcements are made for several others. , Without doubt the season of 1919 will be one of unprecedented devel opment in Washington County. Opportunity knocks at every door. Whether this opportunity . will be cashed in by the people now here or whether it will merely come for the enrichment of outsiders will depend upon the vision and alertness of those residents of this county who now hold its resources. With unequaled transportation and market facilities, Eastern Washing ton County has lain undeveloped for years while the arid rock patches, the unproductive jungles and the worn .out fields of Multnomah County, handicapped by draws on river bridges and burdened by scandalous real estate profits, become as thick ly settled as the close-in, down-town section of Old Portland. Beaverton itself is closer to Portland's business section than half of the city of Port land, yet between Beaverton and the city's center lie broad fields, unclaim ed wastes and untenanted lands but few houses, fewer good roads, no atreet car lines and no'paved streets. Why has this been? . Simply be cause of the old truism, "What is .worth having is worth asking for." Beaverton residents (arid their at titude has: been characteristic of other residents of Eastern Washing- 'ton' County) have been content with existing conditions. They (have . failed to. go after the development that would have profited them most. Her merchants have been Content with the trade that came to them and have made so little effort to secure more trade that instead or an increase there has been rather a : decrease in the amount of business done here. Had this condition, been allowed to continue undisturbed, time would eventually have reduced the . town to a mere embarking place for residents of this section to take trains for Portland. There have, of course, been notably exceptions to this indifference. Why are 90 per cent of the cars in this county small cars? ' Why have the banks of Portland not made the inroads into this territory that other institutions have made? Why does a Portland 'undertaker seldom get this side of Council Crest? The answers to these questions may give ' food for thought ' and may prove helpful in determining the wise course in pre paring for the 'era that is dawning. The State of Oregcahas disturbed our lethargy, removed our isolation, turned the eyes of the world upon us. Our possibilities may no long er remain undeveloped. It is ours to grasp and use them or to relin quish them forever. And the answer must be given within the next few weeks. Those who are here must prepare to meet the new conditions or be resigned to give way to those who have the needed virion. LIMB WOOD 75 cents per load. Chas. Bernard. Stf.

H. Johnston, special agent of the Standard Oil Company yesterday. 'A poor cold test oil will not flow and properly lubricate until it has been warmed by the motor running for some fifteen to thirty minutes, during which time excessive friction is present add serious wear takes place in the cylinders and bearings. "Motorists can avoid this danger and annoyance by using Zerolene which is refined from California crude of the napthene series. This oil has a natural zero cold test be cause it contains no paraffine to conceal at low temperatures. It keeps the motor flexible and easy to turn over during cold weather and insures correct lubrication . of the autoiriobile right from the start."
