Such waa the concluaion of the Beaverton Commercial Club at ite meeting Wodneaday evening and the' committee on public utilitiea wai in structed to proceed with the commis sion in an effort to have. the fromiie of the companies fulfilled.

Other matters which came before the club were the road running south from Otto Erickson's residence. B. A. Concannon appeared before the club and asked for advice in getting the road made passable during the winter. He was advised to confer with the Meier estate and then re port to the City Council. Messrs. Cleveland, Grimes and' Freeman, representing the oil com pany, explained their proposition and were pledged the moral support of the club in getting leases signed. A fuller account of thia matter is given elsewhere in the Times. COUNTY AGENTS NOTES Clover Midge Seam Olover Med midge an apparently mvef few ia ixumbere--thk aaxwm. Whether thia ii due to weather con ditions entirely, or to the crop prac tices of thia county, it is difficult to say. Experts however, at the United States Entomological Station of For est Grove, state that the midge haB not made its appearance, and that there is little liklihood of ita showing up this season. Should the insect at tack the clover, it, will be much later than in previous years, and farmers will be able to make as much of a hay crop aa they desire. In previous years, where clover seed crop was desired, it was neces sary to clip the clover about the first of June to avoid the midVe attack, but present reports would indicate that the hay crop may be allowed to sro until the latter part of June, and unless more of the insects show up before that time, the hay may be al lowed to go even longer if necessary.

It extends an invitation to the public generally to go out to the Weed Peony Farm and see one of the rar- j est sights which America affords sight that people nave crosseu w. continent to see, that has bean pre served and presented in motion pic tures and about which books and mag azine articles have been written and yet a sight which many people living within easy walking distance have never seen. The beauty of these flowers can not be exaggerated it cannot even be expressed. We know, for we have seen them and we mean to tee them again. The collection ia one of the rarest in the world and it can be seen the latter part of next weak by lim ply taking the trip out to the peony farm, which ia located on the Canyon Road about a mile east of Beaverton. There is a good paved highway all the way there for the autoiat and the dis tance is easily within reach of the most amateurish pedestrian. Mr. and Mrs. Weed are two of the most tordial entertainers we have ever had the pleasure of visting. You will feel repaid a hundred times for the trip. So we will not attempt to describe the peonies we can't but we will offer a bit of advice. Go out and see these wonderful flowers while they are in full bloom and get one of the most cordial receptions you have ever met ROBERT P. WIRTZ IS RE-APPOINTED POSTMASTER Wednesday's daily papers carry a dispatch stating that President Wilson had re-appointed Robert P. Wirti postmaster at Forest Grove for the soming four years, subject to the ratification of the Senate. (Mr. Wirtz' time expired last Feb ruary, and his appointment at this time assures him another four year term should the Senate concur in the President's recommendation and there seems to be no reason why it should not, unless it is for political reasons, as Mr. Wirtc has made an excellent of ficial, is always on the job, is court eous and obliging in every way and we are informed, which will make the nized by his party. The new appropriation bill now be fore Congress will materially increase the salary of second class offices bringing it to three thousand dollars we are informed, wrich will make the local postoffice a nice little political plum, well worth picking.
