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.

"Hard cranking and sluggishness
of the motor in cold weather us
ually indicates a serious condition in
in the motor due to the "use of a poor
cold test oil, 'one that congeals or
thickens and, does not lubricate cor
rectly in cold weathijr, said Mr. F.
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."
