VOL. 2, NO. T. NEW ICE PLANT IN BEAVERTON with the installation of the new Siberian compressor at A. H. Spraner's, Beaverton, will be supplied with ice during the hot sum mer monthi. The compressor has the capacity of 1000 pounds of ice In one day, besides the refrigeration of one large cooling box nd one sanitary cooled meat counter. The benefits of this plant re far too numerous to mention to the community, as our town- ptople will know the advantage produce, sucn as vegetaDies, Duuer, cneese ana meats, wnen ice can be bought at half the sum as we all know that the mam topic of the business men ia pat ronizing home industry." Keeping tha dollar at home; we are eure to get a second or more whack at it.' But sending it away, there is whack, which we do not have the pleasure of extending to it. Now we know that when the farmer brings in his produce, suth as vegetables, pork, etc., the money is left at home, and also when he buys hams, lard, bacon, and so on here, he is not sending bis money away East, where there are no benefits harvested at all. The money then is left at home and kept in circulation, where we all gain. Now, again, do not we all work hard for our dollars? And also entertain ourselves over it? We also like to receive that same dol lar back again. Then consideration of this subject will prove to you that keep ing money at home is not useless after all. ' Consider then before stepping on the stepping stones of mail order houses that your money is doing its duty and givinsr you face valus in value. After all the machinery is installed, we extend an invitation to the public an inspection. You'll ba shown in what way that this towns a saving to you at Beaverton ice plant. ' SCHOOL NEWS Mrs. Kelly, state school nurse, visited the public school on Tuesday, and inspected the pupils with the following results: Measles 26 cases, mumps 10, adenoid 9, enlarged tonstils 7, goiters 8, weak eyes 3. She kab very well pleased with the condition of the school building, and Beaverton has the record of the best kept building in Washington county. we are proud of the work of Mr. Summers. On Thursday the school board put the city water into the basement, and now we h::va a fountain of clear good water. Watch for the date ef the next school entertainment. It will be a good one. CAUGHT LARGE COYOTE Dom Lels, son of B. Leis, the fruitgrower east of town, enjoys trapping, and for a young fellow, gets his share of the game. Wednesday he brought to the city a large coyote, measuring 4 feet from tip to tip. This is the largest that has been caught in this vicinity. It is on exhibition at Harrison Hughson'a place. In Memorial At the regular meeting of the Bocialist Local of Beaverton a res olution of condolence was passed for our lata comrade and brother, Louis Moyer, deceased. NEW WAGON ROAD AT RALEIGH A petition has been cireulated to have the County court estab lish a new road around Jensen's Hill, beginning at Whltford and swinging eastward around the hill, and connecting with the old road gain south of Raleigh station. This will save heavy pull over the hill each way to Portland. Some day in the near future there will be a tunnel dug through Council Crest. In making a trip around to avoid one hill, why not avoid two hills, both Jensen and Patton, by continuing the survey from whitford around Jensen's Iliil, thence in a northeasterly direction, just above the low lands on the south side of the Southern Pacific railroad track south of Titus' store, thence east to the big trest.e west of Olson's station, striking the read from Gfirden Horns.

Boosts Country Towns to Save Civilization Indoor Game Association Says Villages Must Pat ronize Themselves in Business and Pleasure or ; Vanish ' Mr. Merchant : In my first letter sorh-e weeks ago I told you the country newspapers, proper ly used, were the best selling agents in America. Have you used them? If not, why not? I also sent out a sample form of advertising, 'taken from one of the Chicago dailies, showing how the big stores in the city get or ders from the country trade. Perhaps you didn't see it. Per haps your local editor was too modest td publish it lest it seem a mere bid for advertising. Or, possibly, you'' may have been sensitive about receiving advice from a stranger. But, gentlemen, these are ail false fern 0" thing i4 v?rvV Either the country town must patronize itself or vanish, and I see no way for you to meet city competition, except by the city man's methods, what do I eare, do you ask? Just this: The In door Gam association has no interest in the matter, it is true. But we are interested in human ity, and the passing of the coun try town would be a calamity to civilization. For years we have watched with growing concern the tide of country youth migrating to the city, we have seen the rural communities standing stationnry and in many cases 'going back. Our efforts in the city to weed out gambling and to secure bet ter supervision for billiard rooms, moving - picture theatres, tc, for the young peo ple, reveals the fact that the worst danger arises from the "uninitiated" country boys and girls. Three-fourths of the "sad cases coming unaer our obser vation are of this class. (To be contiuned.) C. H. Fry, Candic'at? for Representative C. H.

Mr. Boring returned but recently for another operation.

A hole was cut through the wall, so that water could be played on the blaze, as it wat fire burnt through the upper floor in the middle of the building If it hadn't been lined with tin, undoubtedly the building would been burnt. The Home building was erected in 1890. About two years ago an addition was built on the' west side. It is one of the largest bi'ildings in the county. The Insurance company awarded $600 damages on the fire. ' ' ' ' There are two propositions that come up again : No. 1 There should be fire hydrants at St. Mary's. No. The road on north side of Southern Pacific track should be opened to Beaverton. In the future if one' of these buildings should get on fire, the fire department would have a chance to help save the other one;' now both would be liable to burn, ' In time 'of smoke prepare for fire.
