Doy Gray, of the Bank of Beaverton,

peakB very highly of the manner in

present and the spacious dining room
of the Sholes home was tastefully
decorated and a banquet that would
do honor to any caterer was spread
before them.

Beaverton was practically desert-
ed last Saturday when toe railway
eiflnloveaa' excursion to Roekaway
had passed through. The first train
through did, not stop in Beaverton,
for it was crowded to the doors with
railway men and their felines from
Portland, but at 9:00 o'clock another
section, also well crowded stopped
at Beaverton and the excursionists
f rom here piled on. It was so crowd
ed that many had to stand all the
way to the Beach.
But there was a band aboard and
when it took up a popular air the
crowd joined in and sang itself hoarse.
The best of feeling prevailed in spite
of discomforts and when Roekaway
was reached all enjoyed bathing,
while those who were so inclined
danced in the pavillion. Basket din
ners were spread and all enjoyed
lunch and hurried away again to
swim or dance as preference direct
ed, or perhaps merely to stroll on the
beach.
Then Bupper and bonfireB on the
beach and late in the evening the
second train pulled out for an all
night ride through the Coast range
for home, reaching Beaverton at 4:80
Sunday morning, where a tired and
sleepy, but happy crowd piled off and
sought their beds.
Streets were deserted Sunday
morning but by midaftemoon they
began to come down town to tell
what a fine time they had and they
lave been telling it ever since. The
memory of thiB excursion will last
long, with Beaverton people and if
there is one who missed this one you
can be sure that he will be on the
next one.
CHANGES OLD BARN TO ;
" FINE MODERN HOUSE
' Beaverton is witnessing a trans
formation of the old barn on Watson
street into a fine modern bungalow.
Some months ago when W. A. Smith
purchased W. E. Pegg's barn and the
lots on which it stood, many wondered
what he wanted with the old barn;
otherB aaked - where he expected to
move it to. And when Smith told
them he was going to work it over
into a modern home, some people
laughed quietly when he wasn't look
ing. But that was before any of
them had seen W. A. Smith at work
on an old building.
It has been accomplished slowly,
as Mrifjmith haB devoted to the work
only his spare hours. But the trans
formation iB taking shape and even
the most skeptical can now see that
it 1b certainly going to be a fine bouse.
There will be eight rooms in all and
it will be strictly modern. Through
out the house bult-in conveniences
are everywhere in evidence. In the
living room are fine built-in book
cases and in the dining room a built
in buffet is opposite a built-in china
closet.
Outside- the house his plans are
fully as pretentions. Shrubbery and
lawn will forn a pleasing contrast to
the colors of the house. Roses and
flower bedB add to its beauty and at
the Bide of the house is a roofed per
gola reaching over the driveway.

Sheriff Til. Taylor, of Umatilla
County, was slain when six criminals

an official, having served his county
in the capacity of sheriff for nearly
twenty years. He was a man -of high

who knew him, and the manner in
which he met his death has stirred
th3 whole State to action.
At the home of the groom's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. William Behrmsn,
Sr., at Cornelius, on Wednesday of
thie' week, occurred the marriage of
their son, William Behrman, and Hiss

FIRST KILN OF BRICK
Half Million Brick Sold for Masonic
and Eastern Star Hornet Qual
ity Very Best
Victor Randies, formerly of this
city, is now engaged in the brick and
tile business at Forest Grove. The
News-Times thii week says of his
industry there:
Thu Forest Grove Clay Products
Company the past week turned out
the first kiln of brick since the com
pany began operations here a couple
of months ago.
The new factory Is now busily en
gaged turning out the best quality
of brick ever seen in Oregon.
Munager Victor Randies is highly
pleaaed with the first kiln and thinks
there is no douot of the excellence of
the product that the Forest Grove
Clay Products Company will be able
to produce.
The company has already secured
I he contract for supplying the Ma
sonic and Eastern Star Home con
tractors with brick. This con true t
alone calls for a half million brick,
one hundred and eighty thousand of
which are to be face brick and the
balance common red brick.
The compny's plant is located ust
west of the City Power and Light
Plant. It is operated entirely by
electricity furnished by the City of
Forest Grove, and is modern and up-to-date
in every respect. It is sup
plemented by the largest pug mill
in Oregon. It Is a machine for thor
oughly mixing the clay after it Is
ground and prevents lumps in the
brick.
Mr. Randies, who has had many
years experience in the manufacture
of brick and tile hub had thorough
tests made of the clay her and tae
practical burning of the brick is
proving all that he has claimed for
the product. .
A large force of men Is kent busy
at the factory six days in the week.
The capacity of the plant is about
26,000 per day, and a milium brick ,
were sold before the plant was start-1
ed. ' '
Tile, hollow builthnir blocks and
brick will be the main products. The
Clay Products Company is composed i

C, 8, Whitmore, editor of Oregon's
leading Poultry paper and organiser
lor tliu poultry association, waa in
UeaveiLoti Tuesday and arranged for
a meeting ot the pouiuyniuu of this
aeeUun, to be held at the high school
auditorium next Wednesday evening,
Ausuat 4, in conjunction with tnu
iuuulmg of the Beaverton Commer
cial Club. The meeting will be ad
dressed by speakers whose opinion
will be worth while to bvery poultry
man. There will be talks on culling
out the poor layefa and on feeding by
C a, Urtnvstur, loriuoriy of Oregon
Agricultural College, and A. S. Wei
ant, ion ue i ly of the United States
tJopuilmeni of Agriculture. U. L
Upaoii, manager ot the Pacific Co
operative Poultry Producers, wilt be
luiro lo exyilTm what the association
is doing to help poultry raisers to
make more money with their hens.
This is a moetuig that hat soiiiu
thmg to iutorest not only xarmuri
but busiuvtts men as wail, because
whatever helps to produce more eggs
makes more money on the farm and
nelps to make more busiimas in town.
Uiio egg, all by itself Is not a
very valuable piece of property,
riven the hen that lays the egg it not
worth a very large sum compared
with ollior luriti animals.
However, when you add UP the
value ot all the eggs produced in Ore
gon in a your, you get into big fog
ures. 'i'o be exact, the value of the
egus produced in this atatu last year
gun in a year, you gut into big lig
was flH,hUi,U00, The combined value
of poultry and eggs was V4,U00,0OO.
PoulLry raising is one of the big
industries of the Btate and It is ln
cieutiing rapidly because we have
ft ere natural conditions that make it
easy to raise poultry at a reasonable
cost and conditions that make it easy
to getjuore eggs from euch hen than
are being pioduced in other sections
of thu cuuntry.
Poultrymen of Oregon have decid
ed thut their business is big enough
io tiiat thuy ought to get together
and sell eggs on the big Lastern mar
kets and to work fur better methods
and higher eg-g yields. With these
objects in view they have organized
tho Pacific Co-operative Poultry Pro
ducers, an association that can ship
the product of Oregon Poultry fhrms.
to New York and secure the high
prices that New Yorkers will pay for
high claas eggs.
ihe association Is also helping
poultrymen to cull out their non
producing hens and thereby cut their
costs. It is helping them too in
their fuvdlug problems and on other
points thut help to make poultry
raising pay. '

The work of the Public Health
Nuthp is not alone the investigating
of tuberculosis cases, of which there
are a large numher in this County,
but also tho work connected with
Public Health Welfare. This work
includes the investigation of families
needing BiMKestions with regard to
Child Welfare, nursing, and caring of
expectant mothers.
This work tho County Health Nurse
has been doing, as fur aa human
strength and ability vill go. It is ob
vious that one nurse cannot do all
this work, in detail, for the entire
County. The expense incurred is well
jusified by the results as ths doctors
of the County could testify.
This statement 1b made for the en
lightment of some who consider that
the cxpeiBe is not Justified by the
results of the work required.
