ROSE FESTIVAL TIME
Rose festival time iB now here
The gayest days of all the year.
We like when these events appear
With victors from far and near.
Our roses we have On display
In park, block, and 'long our highway
When we hand tourists' a'boquet,
They then feel more inclined to stay.
Those roses in the flower bed '
Their color, what a brilliant red.
Those huds, when breaking, how they
spread.
See the climber on that old shed.
A rose is a nice thing to wear
When ever you go anywhere.
The tame ones and the wild ones
there,
0 how their fragrance fills the air.
Parades they have here, day and nigh
The kind that gives the folks deugnt,
About which friends to friends will
write.
The electric parade, what a sight !
Speed up your car, come on, let's go,
To Portland, where the roses grow.
From Council Crest look south, you
know,
And see the Fair Ground Sight be
low. And there are other flowers too
That will perhaps appeal to you
When the park blocks you're passing
thru
Of gardens there to .get a view.
When you have seen each crook and
turn
The highway next year you will burn,
in making a speedy return.

. VICTIM OF GYPSIES
During the past week a band of
gypBies have been operating in Wash

were driving toward Portland. Strong
orotest was made by the driver of

$40 in the crowd, but when one of the
women started to leave the car the
stolen money was found m her hand.

his pocket while he disentangled him-

STREET; CMEIEAST
Remonstrate Fills to Stay
Hard,
Surface in Progressive Section
Compromise Where
Win.
Objections
That there are good boosters for
better streets in Beaverton was con
clusively shown at the meeting of the
tow council last Monday night whev
tl'e remonstrances against the paving
of Lombard Street and East Street'
were presented to the council. The
petition against the improvement of
Lombard street was found to contain
an insufficient number of signatures
to delay the paving of that thorough"
fare and the recorder was .promptly
notified to prepare the necessary re
solutions. City Attorney A ,C. Allen
was present and the matter was
promptly put under way. ine resi
dents of this progressive section of
the town will soon be driving ovet
hard surfaced streets.
The remonstrance against the pav
ing of East street was more success
ful but it encountered some real
workers and the result was a compro
mise which provides for the macadam
izing of the street with a tacit under
standing that paving will follow as i
soon as the macadam wears out. 1
Father J. M. O'Neill is interested in
getting a street so that his parishoners
may reach the church house at all
times without the necessity of parking j
their cars two or three blocks awa" '
He worked long and hard for the
paving. He did not get the paving
but his effort so aroused the pride of
the residents of that street that they .
were ready to accept the compromise
and put in macadam. It is urged that
the macadam is virtually necessary
as a base for the pavement and that
cwn years use oi a macadam street
will rive a much better foundation for
Paving,
bombard addition is settling up rap
idly. Within the past year a dozen
new houses have been built. A large
number of the residents on that street
own cars and when they started in tn
ret a pavement on which they could
drive to their hemes, there was noth
ing could ston them. The people on
that street do, things and we need
more of that spirit in other parts of
town.

KEW CHARTER IS KEEO
SAYS TIP MP.
City Attorney and Committee of Cos
mercial Club Asqulesce and Plans
Are Under Way to Get One.
MnnHav nfirht wl en the committee
from the Commercial Club met with
the city council to find out what was
desired in the way of amendments to
the town charter in order that neces
sary repairs might be ordered, there
was no dissenting voice u me opinion
of City Attorney A. C. Allen that the
hfKt wav is to make an entirely new
charter, combining with the desirable
provisions of the "resent charter
those additions which will repair Its
weaknesses and render it a workahie
instrument by which the town council
mav render full service to the people
whom they serva.
Beaverton as a town nas grown.
Itnnmved methods of trans portatlon
have brought it much closer to Port
land and H has become a suburb of
the city. People used to better facil
ities have come here to live and they
are demanding that Beaverton service
be brought up to the best. All the
time the council hus been handicapped
by the knowledge that they could not
enforce repairs to sidewalks, Street
crnHMinm and other oublic utilities.
The town has reached its limit of
bonded indebtedness and taxation and
there is insufficient funds to meet the
imperative needs of the town. A new.
charter is an imperative necessity to
the economical management of the
town affairs. Such were the opinions
expressed by councUmen, citizens and
business men. And tneir latin is
founded on more than mere words.
When the dilemma of the city was
outlined by the mayor and lt was sug
gested that there is no way in which
the expense of a special election could
be met in case the new charter should
fail, the committee from the Commer
cial club promptly agreed to attempt
to underwrite the exnenae of the elec
tion. The expense of such election
was estimated at about $200 and the
committee promptly started a naner
with an attnmnt tn swim a miarantmi
oi szdu mat tne crarier so prepared
would pass the vote of the people.
From the members of the council and
the few citizens present the sum of
$09.60 was raised in a few minutes.
The committee iB continulne: its work
and it is expected to get signers to the
amount of twice the guarantee asked,
tnus reducing tne liability of each
signer to one half and insuring a
larger number of workers for the new
charter.
A committee Consisting of the coun
cil as a whole, the mayor, the recorder
and the city attorney was named to
co-operate with the committee from
the commercial club and on Monday
night this committee will meet and
go over the present charter, compar
ing it wun me needs or tne town and
endeavoring to get a first draft of a
workable charter commensurate with
the needs of the town at the present
time and capable of caring for its
growth. ThiB work will be uontinuud
and the help of other citizens and of
ntnr Irani talont urlll tu onUatad
KWhen the first draft is completed, It
win oe presented to the oeupie at a
mass meet In? or otherwise and criti
cism and advice will be invited. The
Dublic will be taken into the cnnflrittnca
of the committee and an effort will be
made to secure a document that meets
with the approval of all and one to
wnicn no oojections can be offered,
When this is done and all ilffriMM
are harmonised or compromised, the
cnarter win be printed and submitted
to tne people at a special election.
This election will be held during tht
autumn months in time to get the
charter working before next year's
ouqgei is maae up.
AS IT SEEMS TO ME
That hope makes a good breakfast,
out a very poor supper.
That if we had no troubles but real
ones, this wouldn't be such a trouble

That if a man falls In love, only the

That experience teaches a man lots
of fhings he would rather not know.
When marriaa-e Ii not a success

That no women ever loved a man

That the next day a man weds an

That marriasrea would be more suc
cessful If fewer men and women were

That euoid is the manager of a two
