August 18, to the big banquet and all-uay picnic being held there by the association that is boosting for the Uanks-Manning-Buxton route for the inland Highway to Astorm. Mr. lawtord erpressly told the editor that this invitation is general to all the county and Beaverton people will be made welcome. Mr. Crawford assisrest the News-Times that everybody who attends will be shown a royal good time and be fully repaid for coming. He says that good crops are being harvested in that section, that business is boom ing in the camps and that so much lumber is being hauled over the Washington County end of the pro posed highway that it is getting cut up and surely shows the big need for the road to be built. Grading for the Portland, Astoria and Pacific (known as the "Pap" railway) is pro gressing rapidly and will necessitate the re-routing of the highway through Columbia County. As a result, that end of the road is being neglected, which accounts for the difficulties en countered m making the trip at present.

The only evidence of the mill that was visible at the tune of the visit was a post on which the mill was originally located.
