Past Year and Records Progress
By MBS P A N D B R 8E N .
Again we realizeythat the end of
the old year is draw ing nigh, for
the season th a t ad vertises th e ap ­
proach of Yuletlde is here, and as
we look back over th e past year it
seems as though it w as sh o rter
than ever and th a t none of us has
accom plished as much as we in ­
tended to do when 1927 wus new.
Now th e tim e Is here ngain when
the w riter w ill attem p t to give an
Idea of th e progress ami various
activities in this com m unity during
the la st year. Hut I shall endeavor
to bring forth only the b rig h t side
of life, In general und p leasan t
thoughts.
I have no doubt in my mind th a t
m any of us, If we would go back
over th e past year, could find dark
clouds now and then th a t prevented
th e sun from w arm ing our souls,
and presented to view u n pleasant
and sad m om ents. Hut as the days
grow sh o rter we feel th e sp irit of
C hristinas m anifested, and so we
shall forget all u n p leasan t happen­
ings and once again look forw ard
w ith Joy In our h ea rts for a happy
Yuletlde.
I feel us though the people hav­
ing the privilege of living In O re­
gon have reason to rejoice as 1927
goes out, for though we have had
m ore rain th an usual, it is safe to
say that the clim atic condition of
Oregon is w onderful. Agnin, If we
com pare Oregon w ith many of the
states in the Union, the people have
not suffered any calam ities, such
as floods, earth q u ak es, tornadoes or
g reat storm s, neither has anybody
suffered from g reat heat such as
they have to contend with In some
places, neither have there been any
rep o rts of crop failures. W hile
none of us can boast heavy crops
of any kind, th e year being poor
for fruit on account of excessive
rains, everybody hns som ething
both for man and beast, so after
all we have much to be thankful
with m odern homes, and w ith H.
R ick ert’s rem odeled g arag e and the
reco n stru ctio n of the postofflee by
Mrs. E lizabeth M organ, our little
town Indeed hns a dignified a p p e ar­
ance. tin account of th e building
progress, the postofflee has doubled
its volume of business during the
past two or th ree y ears and is now
classified as a th ird class office.
The P ortland E lectric Power
com pany has m ade extensive im­
provem ents along tlie highway, and
ttie lighting system as th e re su lt is
far b etter protected In storm y
w eather than form erly. The te le ­
phone com pany has also m ade su b ­
sta n tia l im provem ents on th eir
lines and the phone system is now
very satisfactory.
Only one fam ily has moved aw ay
during the la st year, th a t of C arl
H annom an, th e Je rse y breeder,
who is at p resen t located on the
Base Line road n ear Rockwood. A
Mr. Ferguson and fam ily of M arsh­
field, Oregon, have tak en posses­
sion of the H annem an place.
The roads in th is e a ste rn p a rt of
M ultnomah county a re all in fine
shape, under th e supervision of A.
W oodward and George Wilcox. The
highw ay and th e county roads are
kept in excellent condition.
T he h arv estin g of th e late potato
crop is slow tills fall on account of
rain , but b etter th an w as expected,
as no fro st has had any effect on
grow ing crops.
T he late ca u li­
flower also tu rn ed out b etter th an
anticipated, m ost of it selling as
No. 1. All th e cauliflow er crop has
been disposed of.
Now as C h ristm as is n ear at
hand I will close th is by ex ten d ­
ing a Merry C h ristm as and Happy
N e w Year g reetin g to th e editor of
th e Outlook and his staff of co ­
w orkers and to frien d s far and

Fairview , a q u iet little tow n,
which is located six m iles from

of a rich farm ing, g ard en in g and

Many resid en ts of Fairview are

it a p leasu re to drive over the

The g rea t im provem ent for the

Means of Transportation
D uring the p ast year th e P o rt­
land E lectric
Pow er
com pany
found it n ecessary to discontinue
the electric line w hich had served
so m any F airview p atro n s during
the past. In stead of th is reliab le
way of trav e l, F airview citizens
a re now obliged to patronize one of
the Columbia riv e r highw ay busses
or a T ro u td ale-P o rtlan d bus if they
a re not fo rtu n a te enough to own
th e ir own car. A nother m eans of
tran sp o rta tio n Is the O. W. R. & N.
line.
Each year th e re a re m any c a r ­
loads of fru it and potatoes shipped
from the F airview depot. D uring
the past sum m er th ere have been
m any carlo ad s of ties shipped from
here to The D alles, w here they are
trea ted and then are ready for use
on the O. W. R. &N. track s.
The F airview G rain and W are­
house Is located near th e depot.
H ere the farm ers of th e vicinity
may buy or sell g rain , hay or feed.
The mill is w ell equipped for
cleaning or ro llin g grain. A full
line of paint is also carried.
Social Activities
The social activ ities of the town
are ca rrie d on p rin cip ally through
the churches, th e gran g e and th e
P aren t-T each er association.
T he M ethodist church of F air-
view was the first of its denom ina­
tion to he erected in th is p a rt of the
county.
After th e viaduct w as
built beneath th e O. W. R. & N.
trac k it was decided to rem ove the'
old ch u rch building and rebuild it
In a m ore convenient place. The
late D. S. D unbar w ill be rem em ­
bered hy F airview citizens as one
of the faithful m em bers ‘of th is

seeing th e ch u rch rebuilt. The
church w as organized in a d w ell­

betw een P o rtlan d and T he Dalles.
The first ch u rch w as bu ilt in 1869.
T he P re sb y teria n church w as
