Judge Waters has had quite
serious time with his throat during
the week. It swelled 80 badly that
he was obliged to have it lanced a
time or two. Just what was the
cause of the trouble is hard to
determine, but at any rate be is

Last Monday, Mrs. Charley
Beach was taken to Portland to be
placed in hospital. For the pas
two or three weeks she continued
to grow weaker and her suffering
was great, but the cause of it all
was hard to determine. 1t was

DIR. and Mrs. A. D. Morrison

longer has been in Portland, an
nounces in unmistakable terms

the road west of Oak Creek last
Tuesday. The trial took place
alright and members of the coun.
ty court and various road super.
visors were present to witness the

mended by all who are familiar
with road work. 1t will do all thai
other machines of the country will
do, and more. For certain kinds

county now owns it. It is intend
ed for use in work that the othel

The following which appeared il
Tuesdays Oregonian, seems to ar
que that we may expect grea
things ere long: Within a weel
the new gasoline motor-car nov
being tested in Omaha will b
started for its long trip across tn
country to Portland, where it Wi
be put in service over the Yves
Side track as far as Hillsboro G
Forest Grove. This will be bu
the first step, however, it is argued
and a short time will see th
motor-cars running over the entil
length of the West Side lines, il
Guiding both divisions. This actio
will have to be taken by the South
ern Pacific to protect its territor
from the raids of contemplate
electric lines now proposed an
about to be constructed.
