JofiepiiiNE County 8i.tk. A
great and useful discovery has been
made recently In Josephine county,
about three mile from the Southern
Pacific railroad. A large bed of sluie
of superior quality, and the supply In
exhaustible. Tbis I the first slate dis
covered, having a commercial value,
In Oregon or Washington, or on the
Pacific coast, except In Colorado, where
two quarries are In successful opcrutlou,
and paying large profit. The slate
supply has beeu, previous to 1800, con
fined to the Atlautic coast The
proprietor of these slate bed arc
Itlggs & Titman. John L. Kltrgs Is an
old resident of Polk county, grandson
of J. U. Itlggs, the pioneer merchant
of Dallas. H. Titman Is a resident of
Newport, Kenton county. Oregon need
not look beyond her own boundaries
in the future for her own supply ol
late for roofing or school slute. This
makes fire-proof covering for buildings,
and can be furnished at very season
able rates. Oregon beats the world for
everything, her resources are absolutely

Daintv Lady Drummers. The
sphere of woman's usefulness has been
ao enlarged ivlth the advancement ol
civilization that it looks as if the ladies
might after awhile hold the men a
mighty close rub In almost any busi
ness vocation. One of the most dull
est callings, seemingly, would bo for
ladle to become successful drunihiers,
but there Is at least one Oregon lady,
who Is doing Just this, lie name Is
Mrs. F B. Kobblns, and she travels for
the Portland Cracker Company and
Candy Work. 8he has been in this
city for a day or two, and captured bei
order as gracefully m any of the whis
kered commercial travelers, and she
did It In a modest refreshing manner,
t the same time with all the business
eclat of her male compeers. There
would be something dangerous to tin-
average country dealer In sending out
a emissaries of trade these dainty hi
of feminine cleveruess, aud some string
-check -for instance the dealer's wife-
would be needed in the business to
prevent possible bankruptcy from ovel

Monmouth Is still on tbe move. Ou
passing along the road aee more Im
provement going on In M mi mouth
than In any other town in the county.
Many new residences are 'going up,
aud that too of good substantial work
and architectural beauty. Indepen
dence must look out for her laurels, or
Mouuiouth will leave ber In the rear of
progress. The Qulmby Broe., of Inde
pendence, hnve beeu at work here, and
between building lu Monmputh and
Independence they expect to find
steady employment all winter. Bluce
tbe state hM taken control of the Nor
mal school a new Impetus Iim been
given the town, and all feel enthusias
tic at the bright prospect before them,
ludependeuce may be the business
mart of the county, but Monmouth
now Is, and must continue to be tlie
educational center. The time may
not be far distant In the future, when
tbe two towns become consolidated,
and should that event occur, a volume
of business will accrue to Polk county
that many now living have no concep
tion of. Polk county Is near the center
of tbe Willamette valley, and occupies
an extent of territory uueurpaseod lu
fertility and varied sources. We My to
tlie stranger come aud visit Polk coun

Our county Polk must take the lead,
With all who now tbe Wm Bidk read.
