Fine Panoramas Secured Which Show
Merit Wdl. --Representative
Delegation Sees Location.
VM Two fine panorama views of the
Council Cent site have been taken
the past week and are now in the pos
session of the committee. One of
them, taken from Fairmont .Boule-1 w "d 8 air the merits of the Coun
vard to the south and west, shows I "1 Crest site. This committee will
iniu vu mid nuutu tuiu nnvi iikiiii
the wonderful view of the Tualatin
Valley to be obtained from the
heights and the other, taken from the
hill south of the Fairvale Grocery,
shows the remarkable stretch of level
land available and the beauty of
Council Crest in the background.
These views are among the tangible
results of the excursion Sunday af
ternoon when a representativ gather
ing of Washington County people
drove over the site and viewed its
matchless scenic grandeur. Tl;e re
turn trip by way of the Canyon Road
and the' Weed Nursery where the pe
onies were in perfection of blossom,
rounded out a delightful afternoon for
those who took the trip.
Three sites are available from the
Coucil Crest) location. The first is
the one proposed by Beaverton people
which starts with Council Crest as the
scenic background and extends south
west to the level ground near the
county line and is flanked on either
sideaby matchless parking and camp
ing grounds. This site is the most
economical of the three and already
contains ideal landscaping for the ex
position. Many natural excavations
provide places for lakes, lagoons,
stadiums and other features of the
exposition and renuires But little work
to provide and ideal location.
The second site ' nroDosed utilizes
Council Crest as a starting point and
extends east . along the ridge of
mountains -toward the river. It con
templates terracing the heights and
unquestionably giveB a most scenic
and attractive site, but would call for
expensive enort in preparation.
The third site affords a compromise
oeiween tne two in the matter of ex
penditure and would extend south and
east from the crest, crossing the two
electric lines and extending to the
river along the valley to the south
oz me mountains.
HEALTH NURSE CONFERENCE
TO BE HELD IN PORTLAND
The Public Health Nurses' confer-
ence will be held in Portland. June
20-25.
The success of thes confrences is
largely due to the fact that they are
attended not only by nurses but by
many others who are interested in
Public Welfare work. To such, we
would call attention to the following
itn oi me weens program:
Monday. 4:80 p. m. Room F. Cen
tral Library. Demonstration Drills,
Tuesday, 9:30 a. m. 1010 Selling
Buildinsri Countv Association! n
What Association committees may do.
(b) How sub-committees may cooper
ate with County Nurse, (c) Pub
licity, etc.
There will also be Round Table
talks and free-for-all discussions.
The County Health Nurse wishes
to correct a false impression that pre
vails in certain quarters, concerning
her work of examining school children
for defects, to the effect that she
diagnoses and treats cases herself.
This is not true. She simply examines
the ehild and finding a defect that in
her opinion needs attention, recom
mends that the child be taken to its
physician or dentist, as the case may
wv, iur -ejutiniuatiun or treatment.
PRUNE ROOT BORER ACTIVE
Where the prune root borer has not
been dug out it should be at once,
says A. L. Lovett, O. A. Experi
ment Station entomologist. A pre
ventative wash should be applied be
fore July 1. Use quick lime eight
pounds, lead arsenate 4 ounces, salt 2
pounds, -and Black leaf -40 4 table
spoonfuls, with enough water to make
a thick paint. After removing the soil
S or 4 inchea deep from around the
crown oi the tree allow the remaining
soil to dry and paint the bark with a
stiff brush. Treat to about sixteen
inches in height and then replace the

Don't Make Their Expenses '
Franklin K. Lane, one of this coun
try's best secretaries of the interior,
died the other day penniless. When
he entered the Wilson cabinet he was
worth $100,000. Former Vice Presi
dent Marshall left Washington a poor
man, alt ho fairly well off when he
went there, Secretary Hughes gave
up a million a year law practice for a
$12,000 job as secretary of state.
Roosevelt once said of his cabinet,
"These men are content to sing them
selves in tne public service without
a tnougnt ox private advancement,
and often at a heavy sacrifice." There
is tar more real patriotism in the
country than there is of the grand
stand Kino tnat prates aoout it.

of the earth in the United States. In

THE SHRINER'S NIGHT PARADE
Note A year ago the Shriners
were here during the Rose Carnival
and their night parade was the great
est ever Been in Portland.
All day long while we were working,
Workinsr. it's a shame to sav.
Thinking 'bout the time for quitting.
Time when we could get away.
For up yonder in our city,
Up in Portland, as you know,
We knew that patrols of Shriners
Were forever on the go.
And no one could blame us fellows
If we sneaked out unafraid.
Getting ready to start early

All side walks were more than crowd

Where the marchers were to he.
Every one some vantage gaining, '
come good place wnere they could
In the windows some were sittinr.
. yrwds of boys on sign boards too..
At the ropes near by the cross-streets
mere was not room to get thru,
Reserved seats were in the grand
stands;
For them a big price we paid.
No one thought about expenses
At the Shriner's night parade.
For two hours some were a-waitin1
Sittina on some boxes small.
When the street crowds backed up to
Then they could not see at all.
The long wait made some impatient
Like it does most every one.
In the streets they threw some pen-
x. nies - f
Just to see the youngsters run.
When at last me saw them coming,
Heard the bands, O, how they
played !
Other things drew no attention
At the Shriner's night parade. '
All along their line of marching '

And H almost took three hours
For the Shriners to pass by. ' ,
Colors not all in the rainbow
In their costumes were displayed,
Shouts and encores were repeated.

THIS IS YOUR PAPER
This is your paper. It belongs to
the citizezns of the community. If
they use it for their good, it will be
just as good as they make it. This
issue ought to have more local news.
The reason it has not more is because
those residents of this community who
knew of things of interest did not tell
us .We cannot be everywhere. We
cannot guess all the things that hap
pen. Someone must tell us. Some
times we forget, even if we are told.
But it is never intentional and if you
will kindly send us word of things that
happen and things that are going to
happen, we will be more than glad to
give them publicity. Remember, it's
your paper and if you do your part
to make it a good paper, the commun
