Second street from Lombard -Ave-! mam to Ericksotr Avenue and Erlck- aon Avenue from Second Street to South Broadway will be paved tl'.is year, thus more than doubling the previous paved street! of Beaverton and making thii one of the beat paved mailer towns of Oregon., Already this Reason Lombard Avenue,' East Street and Front etreet have been navad and with the new paving or dered by the council Monday night Beaverton will have a circle of pave ment that will be an honor to -the town and a monument to the coastruc- " tive administration of Mayor Jfcickr ' aon. For every bit of paving in town Is due either directly or Indirectly to bis efforts. ' it was Otto Erickson who wss fore ' moat in the efforts that resulted in the location of the highway through Beaverton and thus the first paving in this town. Then he was elected mayor and through his efforts the navement along the highway in the central part of town was widened and made into a real street. The same re sult was accomplished with South Broadway from the bank corner to the Western town limits, with several blocks on Front street and with Wat son street from the bank comer south to the Methodist church. That ' two years ago. This season he again became active for improvement and as a result Lombard Avenue has been paved, Front Street has been improved to connect with the Lombard paving and East Street 1b being hard-surfaced from the highway north past the Catholic church. It is no small accomplishment for one man to awaken a town that had long slumbered in blissful ignorance of the benefits of paved streets and in slightly over two years to have more than half of its streets paved. But the aggressive spirit which has rmpted Mr. Erickson to forge ahead his own business has been applied to the town business and even the pro testors have been won over to approv al of his plan. , Bis record is one that Beaverton may well hold with pride. He has: been a constructive mayor. His own forward looking plans have won to his support the railroad company and the Meier estate and secured their approv al of the paving plans. His success in , this matter has been largely due to the fact that he has always 1 ready to do. his own part. His paving. plans have always deluded his own property and paving is laid on two aides of his garage property and the latest improvement will put hard- surfacing along two sides of his res idence property. m He is a good man for the place and there is much more work to be done. The water question challenges all that is best and strongest in our town of ficials. Jitney regulation has just be gun. Sewerage must be solved with the addition of a few more homes. . Hundreds .of minor problems affect the growth arid taxation of our town. Town election comes In December. It Is Imperative that Mayor Erickson be induced to accept an additional term or that some other man equally as ag gressive, capable and willing be se lected to succeed him. . is time to be thinking about it.

An event of unique interest, the revival of an old' fashioned and exciting sport, is sched uled for the Pacific Northwest Fruit Exposition, to be held at the Bell Street Terminal in Seattle, November 21-26. r "Barnyard Golf," they call it now; but its history runB back into those early ages when ancient blacksmiths, vtaking a lay-aff for lunch, first dis covered that horseshoes were not de signed for the exclusive use of horBes. , Pitching horseshoes is an old .old game; and being now in process of a national revjval, it is going to be fea-; tured at the Pacific Northwest Fruit Exposition every day of the sixty-day period, when contests will be staged between individual players end teams, The tournament will culminate ou the last day in the award of suitable tro phies for the winners. . Practically every fruit-growing dis trict of the Pacific Northwest is ex pected to ;be represented by a team made up of its best pitchers. Seattle and other Puget Sound cities already have a number of organised teams and more will be formed under the stimu lus of prospective competition at the Fruit Exposition... Dr. W. T. Chrls tensen, president of the Port of Seat tle Commission which is providing the nuge building for the exposition, is what is technically known as an "ex pert and more generally known as a "nut" on horseshoe pitching. It is his favorite exercise, and he has a complete layout of special horseshoes for the game. Dr. Christensen will have a Port team ready to meet all comers. lV';' - ' " 'j The renewal of interest in the old game is nothing short of remarkable. It is being played everywhere; and the term "Barnyard Golf," while hum-, orous, is by no means accurate; for the city folks are going strong. Since the Exposition is to be held in a city, and so many different districts of the Pacific Northwest are to participate, the game is peculiarly suited to the occasion and will provoke -lively con troversy. ,., ., . . . .. .,.... .

After November 1 any driver of a passenger bus or auto truck who car ries passengers or freight fo bin and uses the streets of Beaverton must have a franchise to do so. The terms of the franchise are left to the option of the council by Ordinance No. 70 which was passed Monday night and will go Into effect the first day of next month. Thus the local man who pays taxes here, contributes to lo cal enterprises and helps out on clean up day and other public occasions can be given a franchise for a small sum and the outside msn whose sole inter est in town is to collect what money he can and whose purchases here are lim ited to an occasi nal cigar or a belat ed meal, will be required to pay a sum commensurate with the advantage of haying a paved xoad furnished him. Penalty for failure to get a. franchise is a fine of $50 to $100 or imprison ment in the city jail or both and each succeeding day is a new offense. The council may refuse to grant a franchise at Ita own discretion and each franchise is a separate contact, is made by ordinance and provides its own teifros. - .. , j ,. Similar ordinances have been passed at Newberg, McKlinnville, Oregon City, West Linn, Scappoose and many otper towns. Oswego is putting similar ordinance into effect. Such action means the end of un fair competition. If the jitneys and trucks cannot pay a franchise fee in proportion to the taea paid by the railroads and provide regular sched ules and commutation fares, they must cease to do business at the ex pense of the taxpayers and other au tomobile owners, The ordinance affects only those cars operated, for hire and as common carriers. f- , ...

Mr. Landess adds iwiiumn nf four firuras as ranidly as the average man can aaa a coinmn oi one, Ha does it all by abort cut methods, but chiefly through his per fect knowledge of the calculations up to one tnousana. nor instance, tha nrahlem of "SA4 times 048 knows instantly that 80S times 800 is vnu.uw. vmn tnat mam nvur n tahltuhad. ha nrocecds with nls ad uuu.J iwiiltlnHnattnit tahls b maklne th lesser calsulatlon and adding the entire result.- - ' He is credited with doing one thing that no other calculator Is said to be able to do.

Beginning on the sheet will be such notations as 2,007 1-8 yards of oloth at W cents a yard. 18 ft-8 varda of cloth at 48 1-2 cents a yard. Mr. Landess multiplies the numbers horfsontal across the page and car riea each total in his head. When he gets to the bottom he puts down the grand total.

Boosters for the Council Crest and Ross Island sites mat in Portland Tuesday and after hearing tha mtrfta of each site set forth by ito advo cates, accepted the suggestion set forth by Messrs. Lewis 4 Clark that the interest of Oregon's exposition is best served by utilising the bast features of the two sites. Council Crest has scanio beauty, wonderful lookout ample parking and camping facilities and an abundance of space for landing fields and hangars. It lacks harbor facilities..',, Ross ft Isnd hss the Osks, the deep wster hsrbor, water transportation 6 to and from tha city, access from the many paved streets on the east stda of the river and a great expanse of water for hydroplanes. The sxcel- Isnt transKrtation facilities which each site .enjoys are doubled by the combination of the sites, - Both sites are close-In, being only ilightly over two miles from Broad way and Washington Streets, the ac cepted center of the city And it 4s just a trifle o.er two miles from Council Crest to Ross Island whita makes sn equilateral triangle with the center of the city. The combined site will make one side df the triangle and the Unas of transportation lead ing to the sits will form the othsn two sides. , . It Is proposed to build an aerial tramway from Council' Crest to Ross Island, touching at Terwilliger Poule vard and make it) the feature of the exposition as the Ferris wheel was the feature of the Chicago exposition in 18811. h ' . -M Wj- Prominent among the boosters for the now site are well-known people of ' South Portland who were Instru mental In getting Terwilliger Boule vard, the - Marquam Ouhrh play grounds, the Medical School building, the South Portland fills, the location of the aiiditvlsm 4 Thiid sad Mark- . st streets and a number of other , exceptional Improvements. The s. lection of thii site means a permanent scenic asset to Portland, the develop ment of Sooth Portland on both sides of the river and the development of the Tualatin Valley. ! ' No efforts will be made to commer cialise the fair. It will be purely from an entertainment and esthetic standpoint, merely an instrument far the development of Oregon. Exposition buildings cannot bo turned to iadustrlsl purposes and any attempt t build them for both pur- results in getting buildings suitable Mr neither. But permanent parks, stadiums and scenic effects such as can bo produced on Council Crest and from there to Roes Island will bo a permanent asset to Portland and Oregon 'and will fully justify tho tuem, A trip to Council Crest is an invi tation to see more of Oregon. Twenty-sin counties of -two states can ha from this elevation. Mora snowcapped peaks are visible from Council Crest than from any other point in the Northwest Tho view from the height invites tha drive sround the McMinnvllle forest Grove loop through tha richest Agricultural section of Oregon. , ""- ' hom island Ii above tm city and none oi tho1 city's filth and refust contaminates the wsters of tha river.
