BEAVERTON MAT YET BECOME . portland . manufacturing suburb. s For years those who have lived in Beaverton have laughed good-naturedly at Frank Stroud's vision of Bea verton as a manufacturing center. In vain has he sought to get local as well as outside people 'interested in ' this feature of the possibilities of the town. Local people were unable to see the possibilities, or else lacked the .vision to see that the realization of the dream would be of immense ad vantage to the town. Outside people were deterred by the impassable roads k-and the thought put ting their product wholly at 5th e mer cy of the railroads by isolating it in the district served only by the two short lines connecting it with Port land. And when the possibilities of truck transportation were pointed out for power and sanitary homes and cheap transportation. Here are all the things which have made other small cities important centers of in dustry. A short amount of time given to the matter of locating industries here would redound immensely to the interest of the Portland commercial bodies. They are now awakening to the fact and we need not be surpris ed to see such an event in the near future. . - ' I Austin Pharis,popular S. P. con ductor, who spent his vacation "by go ing to the company hospital in San Francisco to take treatment for hay fever, returned home Sunday night and says that he is feeling fine. WHY NOT AN ORGANIZATION FOR BEAVERTON'S FUTURE WELFARE? ' . ' , ' ". '. Beaverton is in need of 'some sort of club or organization that could be brought together for the organiza tion of its citizens in case of public need. There are many things for the future welfare of the town that go by the board because of the failure of some group of citizens that can and will take prompt action. j . " . At present the paving , of the streets gives illustration of a public need long delayed and obtained only by stint of hard labor on the part of a few unselfish and public spirited citizens, when the same might have been accomplished with ease, had there been a civic organization ready and willing to do the .preliminary work. , The paving would not only be now in use, but it would have had a greater extent and would have been connected up with the magnificent system of roads in Multnomah Coun ty long before this, if there had been W. A. Shaw, veteran realty dealer of Portland, has spent much time in this vicinity the past week. The im provement of B'eaverton's streets and the paving of two highways to Port land has had much to do with im proving demand for homes in Wash ington County and the ShaW-Fear ac reage has proven justly popular with these' homeseekers. George W. Ballard, veteran of the Canadian and American armies, who is employed at the Swift creamery in Portland, is taking an enforced hfl, bM calle(1 0 two-weeks' layoff, due to a case of tha Hillsboro manager' aiimed with. bloodpoisoning arising from a wound ,out conBultinlr ltlM team and whn a' is getting along as well as eouli t . expected, but that it will he several months before she will be able to be out of the hospital bed. The opera tion was for cancer of the lower bow-' el, a two-sten operation that necess-" itated the removal of more than eight inches of the bowel. Mrs. Gates was in a very critical .condition when Dr, Mason was first consulted, as she had been suffering for a month or more ' but thought' it was only a minor ail- ment that would readily pass away. Unless Manager Kamberger can promptly arrange another game, the local fans will have to be content to see two local teams contend Sundry afternoon, for the game with Hill- boro, which was signed up by the managers on July 4 for this Sunday, 1 It Beems that to them, a trip over the jolting and at any set of men workim? in concert to " Al J- XI , J time impassable roads would cool whatever ardor they might have had for the venture when starting from the city. But now that the roads are being paved and the short-cut road brings the metropolis closer to us that it is to Lents, St. Johns, Montavillaj and other thickly settled sections of the city, the possibilities for good tracts of land at reasonable prices and the most wholesome living conditions to provide healthy and happy workmen for their factories, has come to the notice of more than one manufactur er, and before the summer is gone there is little doubt but that some def inite action along the lines which Mr. Stroud has suggested, will be taken. Oregon has few places with the rare combinations of soil, climate and markets to be found here. Portland has no other suburb affording these advantages. There is no other city in the United States the size of Port landjiaving a suburb with the ad vantages possesed by Beaverton, that is not alive to the possibilities of the suburb and using them to its own as wejl as the suburb's advantage.

Incidentally the paving could have been done at much less cost and the distribution of the mon ey would have taken place at atime when it would have conferred far more benefit on the laboring people, if this paving had been done a few years ago. '; ,, ; ,:.V We have before us today a matter ofthe improvement; of our high school system in a way that will cost the district nothing save the interest ne cessary to get a few pupils interest ed in the best courses they can possi bly take which will go by the board if there is not something done to put the interest of the younger genera tion .at a proper pitch for the accom plishment of the desired result. One man cannot do it but a community or ganized for the. purpose can readily find the required number of pupils for each of these courses and find for them places to stay or houses in which families may live and the pu pils pursue the studies for which they have a natural aptitude and liking. Would Beaverton profit by such a course ? Undoubtedly. The old thought of a commercial club seems to strike no responsive chord. The idea has been abused mis applied and misunderstood until it is doubtful indeed if such a club could succeed here. But the social life of a town the nature of Beaverton is of ten neglected. We do not get ac quainted Swjth the stranger within our midst.' Any sort of social enter tainment feature which would bring together the people of the community once a month for the purpose of get ting them "acquainted with each oth er would form the basis, of' a club to care for the civic need of the town and at the same time serve admira bly on its own account. ; The Times favors sucha club and is ready atf any time to co-operate with others who may have ideas along that line to the end that Beaverton people may come to know each other and hence better serve the public inter to his finger from a jagged wire on a milk can. He was cared for at the Good Samaritan hospital and is now j well on the road to recovery. The ac cident occurred last Friday and the blood poisoning developed Saturday morning. , . . R. L. Tucken, former Beaverton lumber dealer and later real estate broker and sawmill man of this town and now of the firm of Tucker & Shreck, Portland realty dealers, has decided to again enter the retail lum ber game and has secured control of the old Badger Lumber Yard in Hills boro and will operate it in conjunc tion with a small sawmill which he has secured on a timber tract to the north of Hillsboro. He will open the place up soon. , Frank Gates, of west of Beaverton. has been making regular daily trips to rortland to assist in caring for Mrs. Gates, who is in the Emmanuel hospital there, recuneratinc from an operation. Dr. Mason, who had the case of Mrs. Gates and who advised the operation, says that Mrs. Gates game was available with either Tilla mook or Astoria for the Capitol toss ers, they decided to take the trip to' 1 the oeach anu .oi the manager-play his game here alone. And Manager Kamberger, with that true sympathy which one baseball magnate always feels for another, is looking for an-: other team to try conclusions with his headlincrs. ) Do you like our eight-page paper? .
