Timely Suggestion! for Christmas Mailing Pawed Along by Post muter C. E. Hedge FIRE FIENDS DOPE BUILDING AND SET IT ON FIRE One of the most thoroughly planned fireB in the history of this fine town was frustrated wsome extent Wed nesday morning when W. H.Muir, who lives on First Street across from the Farmers Feed ft Supply Co.'b Feed store, discovered the store on fire and srave the alarm. The prompt response and speedy action of the Fire Department result ed in cheeking the flames before the building was consumed, but Berious damage resulted to the contents of the feed store. Just what the final damage is to the stock is hard to es timate at this time, but it is believed to be between $2,600.00 and $3,000.00 which ifl fully covered by insurance, the Farmers' Feed & Supply Company carrying $4,000.00 on the contents of the building. The building, which is occupied by th Farmers' Feed & Supply uo. owned by Martin Mockley, Sr., a man about sixty years of age. When the buildim? was entered by the firemen it was clearly evident that incendiarism had to do with the fire, and before the embers of the fire were cool the State Fire Mar- sball's offic was notified and within a very short time men from that department, ably backed up by Sher iff Alexander, Chief of Police Mills, Constable J. C. Smith and members of the Fire Department were at work cm the case, and all last night was spent in arduous work ferriting out the miscreants who fired the building, resulting, it is Baid, in a complete confession by the owner of the build ing, Martin Mockley, Br., ms son, Martin Mockley, Junior and J. W. Posey. It is said that the men confessed to having gone to Portland, purchased ten gallons of coal oil and ten gal lons of gasoline, brought it home and made the most thoroughly planned fire setting imaginable. They mixed the decoction and scattered it all over the building, then went to the second story, poured nignty inuammaDie fluid down the stairway, poured it on the walls, laid a trail of the demon mixture across the floor to an air vent under the building where they saturated sacks with it, set fire to it and fled. . This was at 3:46 a. m., and luckily Mr. Muir happened to be up, saw the blaze as the flames quickly flashed through the frame building and promptly sent in an alarm. The firemen worked like trojans to extinguish the flames and after a heroic effort succeeded in checking the fire before the building was de stroyd, although the contents were badly damaged by fire, smoke, gaso line and water. Calling the aged gentleman from his bed last night Deputies Poraroy and Davis, of the State Fire Mar shall's office, ably assisted by Sheriff Alexander, began the inquiry. After much questioning, the men seemingly Having gotten together on a story, the inconsistencies began to creep oat. The men were kept separated and finally Martin Mocttly, Jr., weakened and told the story which was after Ward drawn out of the other partici pants, it is said. The work of obtaining the confes sions was most cleverly done by the State officials who came up from Mc Minnville where they were in court on a like case. It is said that the highest valuation placed on the building by Mr. Mock ley was $2,500 and he had it insured for $3,000.00. The men, it is said, confessed the building was set on fire to obtain the insurance. Since the disclosures of last night it is now found that the building was "planted" in five or six places, some of them being found this morning not yet set off, and, that at least 35 gal lons of the fluid were used. ' The men were taken to Hillsboro this morning by Sheriff Alexander, where the charire of arson will ho placed against them. To succeed in landing these men in .the toils of the law in so short a time certainly reflects credit on all who were active in ferriting out the facts. New3-Tin.es In carrying out suggestions of' Postmaster General Will Hays, post masters are requested to give a few important warnings to avoid, if pos sible, so much of your mail being lost or delayed. If the public will heed these sug gestions better results will follow. It has been found out beyond a. doubt that most cases of wrong deliverv or delayed delivery is caused by Benders' carelessness. J Mail Early j Hailing your packages early Is of the utmost importance if you wish them delivered on time. If you wait to mail your parcels, giving them the usual time to reach destination, the chances are that they will be delayed on account of congestion of the mails during the holiday period. Wrap securely in strong paper. Tie firmly with strong twfcie. Address plainly with ink. roony wrapped, poorly tied, and poorly addressed packages are what fill the dead letter office. If you will take pains to wrap with strong paper and tie securely with Btrong twine, then address so plainly with INK that anybody can read it at a glance, you will never have occasion to comnlnin of lost parcels. The use of tiBsue wi per for wrapping purposes is almost a guarantee that it will be lost. The use of common three-ply cotton twine is not lit to tie with unless it is dou bled matny timeB. Remember, when the outside wrapper is gone, the ad dress is gone, then the only place for is rne dead letter office. Poatai employes have instructions from Washington NOT to accept for mall ing unless the package is In . Bote condition. Return Address Fourth class, or parcel post nack- ages cannot be accepted for mailing till it contains your return address, so be sure you 'plainly write with ink your return address in the upper right hand corner. Never under any cir cumstances use a lead pencil in writ ing addresses or your return address. mane tne address so plain and com plete that nothing is left for the post- l elerk .to guess at. If mailing to city, give street address. If to small village or country, eive P. n hnv number or route number. There are so many people of the same name that ii tne aaoress is not complete the ciera must guess at who it Is for many instances. Postal regulations reouire that nn package be mailed less than three inches square to a-ive olentv of i.m lor aaoress and return address well as for stamps. Do not use too small'enveloDes. for stamps and cancelling will obliterate aoaress H there is not about 8ft inches left on -top of the letter. The penalty lor using under-sized envoi. opes is, it delays handling of letters ana is much more liable to ho w Many letters have the address pletely obliterated by the cancelling owuiip wnen me aoaress is too close to top. Go to a post office and ask ior cara giving model address as fur nished by Government. All post of fices have them for free distribution. First, second, and third class m.ll may He registered, but fourth clue parcel post, cannot be registered, but may oe insured if properly done up. Never enclose a letter or personal communication with your parcel post.

We ask your hearty cooperation in helping to prevent the usual jam and wait to get waited on. Do not put off taxing your packages to the post of fice till the afternoon mail coma in. for then the post office force baa all they can attend to in distributing mail so come in earlier to the day when you can get better service. The mails are from four to five times normal but the Government does not furnish extra help in small offices. We will do our best to serve all, but when we get twenty sacks of mail from one train, as we did on several occasions last holiday, don't expect the window to open in usual time. If the public will follow these lew ug gestions it will greatly facilitate our work and help keep all in good humor. Now remember this: Mail early. Wrap Meanly n strong paper.

CLOSED AFTER SALE BiBhop BroB. store is closed. After three years of trying they have de cided that three stores are too many for two men to look after and, on Wednesday what was left of their stock following the sale, was shipped to Portland and Oresham. During their stay in Beaverton they made many friends here who will regret the closing of the store and will miss the genial men who owned it,. However, we all realize the diffi culty which they encountered in at tempting to run the store by occas ional visits here and Beaverton people will wish them well in their other stores. , .

CHANGING LEAVES In springtime we feel like shouting, Dealing death to dreary days; Little leaves are larger sprouting, Wonders working many ways. Trails we never fail to follow. Feel the freshness of the air; In the hill-lands and the hollow Feasting on the foliage there. And $he fragrance of the flowers Bring a blessing to the bees. When the sun shines after showers, Dew drops sparkle on the leave- tv un yte weary oi warm weatner We shall seek some shady spot; Might we mingle then together With the winters soon forgot ? And the changing leaves can capture Each and every eager eye. Bustling red leaves gives us rapture As they fade and fall and die. Yearly, yes, they will turn yellow, From green to golden brown. How they rustle round a fellow, When on walks within the town. In the woods we like to ponder By a bubbling, shrub-lined brook, In some verdant vale out yonder, In some pleasant pasture nook, As the wind with the leaves battle, How the bending boughs will blow; Music mingles in their rattle, In their flake-like flight below. As the leaves the trees are leaving, When they fall while it is fall, Such shades are beyond believing, But we all can see them all. O. O. SMITH. Mrs. Wm.
