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. . - '

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.

months before she will be able to be

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-

managers on July 4 for this Sunday, 1

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. Why
should we lag behind the rest. Here
are unused acres. Here are chances

see that these improvements were
realized. . 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

blood poisoning developed Saturday

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

the operation, says that Mrs. Gates
