MAY DEVELOP GRANITE
QUARRY NEAR GROVE
Attorney Fred H. Whitfield and a
Mr. Hadlev. of Portland, were in For
est Grove on Tuesday of this week
in consultation with Ross Keder con
cerning the development of the great
tgranite quarry at Roderick Falls.
These gentlemen paid a visit to the
property in question and were very
favorably impressed with their pros
pects. It is said to be one of the fin
est granite beds in the west, if not
in the world, and to properly develop
the quarry would require about
$160,000 and it is planned to organ
ise a company to promote the big in
dustry that might be developed there.

AT BEAVERTON, MAY 29
Russelville Grange Dramatic Club,
of Multnomah County, are scheduled
to play their drama "When a Man's
Single," at Beaverton Grange Hall,
Saturday night, May 29th.
This Club has presented a number,
of plays and with good success and
they are deserving of good patronage.

presented twice this Spring and it is
hoped that the date in Beaverton

pects of being the best ever staged
by the Club. t
,, It is only a short way over to Bea
verton, and a pleasant evening may

brate Arrival of Heir ia UalM
Way.
One of the big treats of the season
for the boys, of St. Mary's Home was
the reception recently tendered them
at the Liberty Theatre by Mr. Jen
sen. Through the kindness of the'
Knights of Columbus of Portland,
autos were provided to transport the
kiddies to town. It was a gay sight
once they got started, and going up
the Terwilliger even the smallest
seemed to develop a twelve-cylinder
lung power proving that auto horns
were not needed to let the world know
St. Mary's was on its way to town
and wanted a clean right of way,
Arrived at the theatre the .boys
were entertained by "nappy walk
er until the show began. Mr. Walk
er led off with the singing of a few
songs notably among others "I dont
want to go home." When he asked:
"Is everybody nappy?" the answer
was one grand roar: ' Yea, bo. ' Pro
fessor' Murtaugh played on the big
Wurlitzer and again the youngsters
wound up and sang themselves
hoarse. A Charlie Chaplin film was
reeled off much to the amusement
and applause of the boys, and anoth
er feature of the entertainment was
a sketch put on by the Portland
Dramatic Liub.
When the entertainment was over,
every lad was treated to candy,, bal
loons' and horns which are still use
ful at the ball gameB then the sing
ing of the national anthem, three 1
rousing cheers for Mr. Jensen and his
baby boy, in whose honor the show
was given.
The autoB then got out of Portland
without running foul of the "speed
cop" and with the noue makers given
them on their way tout, tm young
sters were full of pep and let every-
one along the line know that St
Mary'B still has a place on the map.
Through the foresight and kindness
of the Sisters at the Home, an appe
tizing lunch was served the chaffeurs
on their arrival, me uev. superin
tendent and the Sisters take this oc
casion to thank Mr. Jensen for ths
entertainment given the boyB, also
the K. of C. and others who so kindly
loaned their machines and services
to pilot the boys to and from the
theatre.
COUNTRY HOME NARROWLY
ESCAPES DESTRUCTION
Last Sunday night the country
home of Robert Alexander narrowly
escaped being destroyed by fire.
As it was, the house was damaged
to the extent of something like fifty
or sixty dollars. The roof caught
fire from sparks from the chimney
at about seven o'clock, the neighbors
responded promptly to the call for
help and saved the building. Luck
ily the creek runs nearby and the
neighbors formed a bucket brigade
and sirbdued the flames before the
fire gained very much headway. Mr.
Alexander appreciates very much the
assistance Rendered.

HIGH SCHOOL PICNIC
AT OSWEGO LAKE
"Did we go to Oswego Lake on a
High School picnic last Friday?" re
peated a well-known Junior to our
question. "I'll say we did and so will
any of the other students who took
part in and enjoyed the greatest
event of the year, as well as the
members of the faculty.
"Arriving by truck and auto at
about eleven oclodk an immediate
rush to secure boats was made. For
tunate were they arriving first and
securing canoes. At the same time
there were also plenty of rowboats.
"A short trip on the lake and then
about one o'clock you can imagine
what happened. Just imagine the
longest table in the park loaded to
capacity with every imaginable thing
that could be eaten and you will
know what greeted the crowd on
their arrival. Short work indeed was
made of that dinner and then we took
to the boats.
'When we left at about four thir
ty everyone was happy and tired, i
"Very little bathing was indulged
in because of the cold water but still
a few were in long enough to get wet.
When I say that it was the great
est event of the year I mean all of it,
and here's hoping that we will be
able to enjoy many more such out
ings.'

ation of the Beaver Garage and Hard

tubes, oils and accessories and will
continue the garage part of the busi
ness, keeping open of afternoons af

It is understood that the enlarge
ment of the Cady-Pegg stock pre
pares the way for new activities in
that firm. Harold Pegg returned:
from Los Angeles, where he held a
hardware position and Willis Cady is
expected home from school within a
few weeks. A rumor which we can
not confirm states that the two young
men are to take charge ft the hard
ware and furniture business.
E. E. Swenson, who has been man
ager of the Beaver Garage and Hard
ware Co., Inc., is just at present a
man of leisure, but he is busily ar
ranging new connections and will not
leave Beaverton. He will connect
with parties who wish to engage in
either the real eBtate or the hardware
business, or possibly both, in Beaver-
ton, aB Mr. Swenson is experienced in
both lines.
, AN APOLOGY
The entertainment committee of the Commercial Ctub utterly
failed to' entertain the vast crowd that were absent from the meet
ing last Wednesday night, for which we feel that we owe an appol
ogy to all.
The fact is that the president was sick in bed; the vice president
could not be present on account of sickness, whilh was the case
with the treasurer, also the secretary could not be found. The
key to the school house was lost and the blind committee was
hunting the key. The partieB that had so willingly promised to
perform and entertain by singing, playing and declaiming came
and were disappointed in their willingness to assist in making
Beaverton a better Beaverton.
If the key to the school house and Auditorium -can be found and
the president, "and vice president, as well as the secretary and
treasurer can be restored to normal condition by the first Wednes
day in June we promise to mend our ways.

Inter-Class League Fftratcd U Give
Practice as Well as Sport tad
Prospects for 8eeoa art Good,
What promises to b the most sua
cessful baseball season in the history
of St Mary's Home is now well un-
aer way. in accordance with the
precedent set last year, a baseball
league has been organised among the
boys and schedule of games adopted.
Not only did this plan prove highly
satisfactory in maintaining the inter
est of the boys throughout the season,
but it was also the means of devel
oping several star players. This
year four clubs the Angels, Beavers,
Red Sox, and Senators, gaptained re
spectively by John Mimmart, Joe Mc
cormick, Wm. Sattl and Lewis Sal-
vatore will battle for the champion
ship of the school. The rare ia an
exciting one, and to date several in
teresting games have been slaved.
From these four teams a picked
squad was selected to unhold tha hon
or of St Mary's Home against vis
iting teams. To say that thus far
they have succeeded would be putting
uiiiuiy.
They opened the season auanlcioua-
ly by wallopintr the Verboort school
team by the overwhelming score of
n o. in the start it looked as if
the visitors would have no difficulty
in solving the fast ball of Rits, and
two runs were made off Uim before
he got his "hop" in working order.
But, once sure of that break, all the
Verboort batten could do was to fan
tfco breeze. Rits retired at the end
of the 5th inning to give "Lefty"
Gregush a chance to display his
wares. The game was a creditable
exhibition of baseball until the last
of the fifth when the heavy artillery
of St. Mary's bombarded twirl era and
runtr uo 12 tallies.
The second game was more closely
contested. The St Lawrence team
one or the fastest parochial school
nines of Portland, invaded the local
lot to Bhow the Orphans how the na
tional pastime should be played. But
before the battle was over they them
selves had picked up a few fine points
of the game, and when the dust was
settled the score board read: St. Ma
ry's 13; St Lawrence, 6. Harry Rits
mounted the knoll for St. Mary's and
