Enabling Act for Tunnel Long Sought

Salvm, Ore. Feb. 22 (Special)
Monday night 11:80 P. M. the House
passed S. B. No, 800 known as the
. ,TgiT)el Bill. Two members spoke for
"""said bill. Rep. Gordon of Multnomah
County, Btated: "S. B. 300 was a bill
giving the people of Oregon the right
to organize tunnel districts for the
purpose of constructing tunnels
within the state."
Rep. Fisher, of Washington Coun
ty, "Mr. Speaker. S. B. No. 800 is a
measure which means much for the
future welfare of Washington and
Multnomah Counties. This measure
if enacted will shorten the distance
between Washington County points
and Fontanel live miles, thereby cut
ting the present carfare between
Beaverton and Portland on-half, sav
ing 40 cents on each round trip for
every passenger not only from Bea
verton but the whole Willamette Val
ley. The four ner cent trade over
Terwilliger Boulevard will be avoided
and a practically level highway to
the Tualatin valley established. This
measure received a unanimous sup
port of the House R, R. and Trans
portation Committee, also the Bea
verton Commercial Club. It is a
good bill and should pass,"
The Washington County delega
tion lined up votes all day for the
tunnel. The Bill is now before Gov
ernor Olcott.
Representative Fisher brought
home a number of copies of S. B. No.
900 for the Commercial Club. He
says: "Since a boy I have been trav
eling over that hill to Portland but

A bill of nrach importance to local
people passed the Senate last Thurs
day, was reported out of committee in
the House on Saturday with recom
mendation that it pass and on Mon
day night successfully passed the
House. It is Senate Bill No. 800 and
its purpose is to enable the people of
any community to bond for the pur
pose of constructing tunnels through
intervening mountains and to bond for
the purpose of clearing and improving
logged-off lands.
It has long been a dream of many
residents of this locality that a tun
nel through Council Crest would re
duce the distance and eliminate the
hill between Beaverton and -Portland.
Time after time the matter has come
up. Several years ago a bill was ac
tually introduced onlv to be defeat
ed by opposition from the Washing-
con county oeieganon ana tne re
sults have been marked bv bitterness
of feeling between the proponents of
tne Din and certain members of the
Washington County delegation at
that time. i
The success of the present bill is
due largely to the active Bupport of

MOTHER AND CHILDREN
DIE IN FLAMES
"Monday's daily papers carried the
following tragic Btory of the death
of a mother and two children, vhose
parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Dodge,
live in the Thatcher neighborhood,
near Forest Grove:
Mrs. Lome Young and her two
children, Dorothy, aged 8 and Loren,
aged 1, were burned to death Satur
day afternoon in their home at the
Inman-Poulsen lumber camp, seven
miles west of Castle Rock.
Neighbors were horrified when
they saw Mrs. Younff with her baby ,
in her arms appear on the porch, her
clothing enveloped in flames. The
girl was burned in the house. The
mother and baby died while being
taken to rortland.
That there was an explosion u'thin
the house is believed. The fire was
spread by kerosene, it is thought.

COMMUNITY POISONING
SQUIRRELS SUCCESS
OF
Many farmers have learned by
hard experience that fighting squir
rels single-handed is an almost hope
leas task. While it is possible for a
man to clear his farm and Keep ia rea
, sonably free from squirrels it requires
quires constant and determined ef
fort to do so. This is particularly
true when there are farmers in the
immediate neighborhood where little
or no effort is made to keep them
down. These farms serve as a breed
ing grottnd and constantly renew the
neighborhood squirrel population.
Organised community squirrel
campaigns are the only solution' of
the problem. It is impossible to
place too much emphasis on this fea
ture of the squirrel business. A Iff-
cal leader backed fay organized local
sentiment can accomplish wonders.
In many communities best results
have been secured by naming a poi
son day or poison week during which
every one is pledged to -'horoughly
poison the land under their control.
ihis of course does not mean the
Blacking of effort on the part of any
one during the remainder of the poi
soning season, but rather extra effort
during this time.

In the State of Oregon wilt be bene
fitted by the action of the recent leg
islature in passing the one real con
structive piece of legislation, the co
operative marketing law. The effect
oi this act will be far-reaching. It
gives the Bmall farmer a new ray of
hope.
In the past the producer has been
harassed by the speculator and gam
bler in food products who created an
unstable market. The farmers' re
turns were always a matter of doubt.
individual marketing provides for no
uniform system of standardizing or
grading. Products thus handled us
ually bring a price based on the low
est grade included in the lot.
To the consumer umrraded nro-
ducts are unsatisfactory, because
they are not dependable. The aver
age consumer willingly pays a fair
price zor an article Known to be ox
good quality and uniform.
Producers have made innumber-
able attempts to organize for the
purpose of getting away from the
present wastelul system, f ailures
have often resulted from a lack of
cohesiveness in the organisation
while it is getting a start. Middle
men and speculators have helped to
disrupt thorn by spreading seeds of
discontent and by baiting members
and the association. Ic provides that
heavy penalties may be prescribed in
such contract for the breach thereof,
With the dancer of disruption m-
moved the producers' marketing as
sociations will be able to pull
through the trying times that come
to all organizations before thevhave
had time to show effective results
by established brands of products.
unce well established such organ
izations will be able to reach out to
the consumer and eliminate or reduce
by a big margin the difference that I
now often amountB to 50 to 100 per I
cent of the price the producer gets.
We now have several state-wide
organizations that have been trying
to establish themselves, such as the
Oregon Growers' Co-operative Asso
ciation, witn its "Mistiand" nrunes
and other horticultural crops, the
Pacific Co-operative Poultry Pro
ducers with its "Nulode" eggs, the
Oregon, Dairymen's Co-operative
League with its "Melowest" butte
ana cheese. Uwo other organiza
tions are in the formative oroeess.
the Co-operative Wool & Mohair Pro-
aucers and the Oregon Wheat Grow
ers' Association. Some ten veai
ago Dr. Hector MacPherson, of the
Bureau oi markets, at Uorvailis, was
sent by the Federal Government to
Europe to study country life condi
tions. Being a marketing expert, he
naturally recognred the importnee
of co-operative marketing in the dai
ly welfare of European workers.
upon nis return lie drafted a bill
which was enacted into law in 1913.
This law was considered the most
modern piece of legislation of its
kind in force at that time. Since
tnen much progress has been made
along the lines of co-operative mar
keting. More thought has been giv
en the subject and newer ideas
formed.
' Last fall Dr. McPherBon went to
California and studied conditions
where greater success had been at.
tained along this line than in any
umer pan oi tne unitea states. Up
on his return he drew up certain
amendments that he felt were vital I
to the fullest development of a sys
tem of marketing that brinm. nm.
ducer and consumer closer to each
other than the present system.
All other advocates of the "back to
the farm" movement have accom
plished nothing. People will go back
to the farm only when the profits
that can be made there are sufficient
to enable them to live under 1921 con
ditions instead of I860 conditions,
under which most rural populations
now exist.

In all other countries the people have
migrated from the farms to the

UNION HIGH SCHOOL
CLUB IS OJKJAN1ZED
On Thursday evening of last week

School in this city for the nurnose of
discussing the Union High School
situation, It appears that a number
of outside districts have been re
questing that Forest Grove take
some action relative to again sub
mitting the question of voting on a
Union High School for the contigu
ous territory of Foreat Grove com
prising some fifteen or sixteen dis
tricts. t
It will bo remembered that tho
proposition was defeated by a very
small margin at an election held
some time ago.
After an elaborate banquet served
by students at the High School the
question was discussed at some
length and it was decided to organize
a Union High School Club vhose
business it would be 4o kwp'tnoueh
with the feelings of the public and
promote the enterprise, and at the
proper time submit the question to
the voters, All the districts inter
ested were represented except two.
The sentiment of the meeting
seemed to be that this was not the
right time to submit the question.

ADAMS GETS BERTH AS
STAN FIELD'S SECRETARY
When United States Senator-elect
ntanfield leaves for Washington with
in the next fortnight he will be
companied by E. J. Adams, of Eu
gene, who has accepted the appoint
ment as secretary to Oregon's new
member of the upper house. An
nouncement of this choice, made by
Senator-elect Stanfield. sets at rest
all rumors as to the probable identi
ty of his secretary none of which
ho ever discussed with Mr. Adams.
Mr. Adams came to Oregon from
Michigan in 1911 and has since hewn
identified with constructive nuhiic
effort, particularly highway building.
He was a strong advocate of the first
bond issue for roads In 1917, and a
member of the first state highway
commission operating under the nres
ent Bystem.
Mr. Adams Bract ced law for 1R
years in Michigan and Washington,
and holds certificates to oracticfc in
all courts of those states, as well as
in the United States lunremn mnrr
In Michigan he served in many, offi
cial capacities, was elected to the
state legislation in 1897 and upon re-,
election in 1889 was chosen siuukAr
ui vue iiuubb.
"There is little to av " enm mint
ed Mr. Adams, with reference to his
secretarial appointment, "I had no
thought of holding any public posi
tion, my arrangements were all made
to move to Portland when Senator
elect Stanfield put the proposition to
me. So I am going to Washington
with him to help him get for the
state those tnings that will go far to
ward developing our wonderful re
sources. "I find myself in hearty accord
with his position upon matters re
lating to the welfare of Oregon, and
I anticipate a very pleasant relation
ship as his secretary." Oregonian. i
Lest wo forget: The progress of
our city is compelling us to witness
the dismantling of the first business
structure erected in Huber, common
ly known as tho "Doctor s Place,"
This building, whose beauty In de
sign and ari'hlteeture was without
doubt unparalleled in the history of
tho universe, was originally Intended
for a drag store, but after investi
gating the health statistics of this ,
community the idea was given up,
and it was henceforth occupied as
a dwelling. But after being aban
doned by its ownor it became from
time to time a refuge for homeless
organization, short lived industries,
such as ivi) cream parlors, dress mak
ing establishments, etc. and various
families who found themselves tem
porarily stranded until getting per
manently located.
It wilt also be remembered that
tho embryo meeting of what was
later destined to bo the Hubor Com
mercial Club was held In this build
ing, with such illustrious men in at
tendance as George Wellington
Wadsworth, Benjamin Franklin Lin
dorman, Colonel J. Henry Wells, and
many other welt known and promi
nent men who took an active part
in the early life of Huber.
