A IR L IE LAD PU TS IT O VER D A L LA S REUBENS (Monmouth Herald.) The public road improvement in the near vicinity of Independence is rapidly approaching completion. The paving o f the road between Independence and Monmouth was completed today. This stretch o f road is used more than any other in the county and it is a great advantage to traffic to have it paved. The Warren Construction Co. which did the work is now employed on the six miles be tween Monmouth and Rickreall. The paving of the Main street fill will be completed next t’hursday or Friday, but it will be closed to traffic for thirty days in order to permit the surface to harden. Com petent judges say that it is a well done job. The cost is approximately $4000. The new ferry which is to be used at Independence, which was built in Portland, has been completed for some time but has been delayed in getting here by river condit ions. The old ferry is now propelled by an engine giving a quick service. Public highways leading to Independence are or soon will be in good shape. Much work has been done on the roads south o f the city, cutting down the “ graveyard hill” being the «hief improvement, and it is hoped that event ually some south thoroughfare will be paved. Then if the paving north o f the city can be completed to Brunk’s corner and the section o f Marion county adjacent to Inde pendence can be pulled “ out o f the mud” , this section will have good road eervice.

THE H A R V E ST IS F R U IT F U L Oqr harvest this year is a bountiful one. Wheat and other grains have turned out well. Prunes, which are gaining a foothold in this section, promise a good yield and quality and the price is such as to make their growing very profitable. The hop picking season will be here in a few days and prospects in most of the ystrds are favorable both in yield and quality.

It was a very important one, too, being the next door neighbor to the thumb on the right hand. Percy does not believe there is any use in grieving about it as he expects to live just as long anyhow, but he is inclined to think that Ed Wonder, his fellow mail carrier and wood sawer, shouldn’t tell it around that he (P ercy) cut the finger off on purpose so the state rural carriers, who meet in Independence Sept. 1, will elect him a delegate to the national convention out o | f sympathy.
