A well known Monroe man
suggested to his wife the other
day that she adopt the morning
elorv as her floral emblem. She
inquired why, and the mean
thing replied: "Because the
mornine glory knows when to
shut up." Monroe Leader.
This class of a woman can not
be found in Independence. They
are too busy to shut up, and we
are too busy to shut them up.
They are preparing to get the
business when the new line from
Portland to Eugene through Mon
roe is corhpleted.
The average country newspa
per editor is about the easiest
mark that was ever pushed over
the dump. Here's the poof.
All the campaign committees,
state and national, want pub'ieitj ;
they all realize the value of the
country newspaper. Instead of
dealing with them direct, they
go to the boiler plate houses and
give them large sums of money.
Then the plate houses offer the
boiler plate free of charge. The
politicians get the publicity, the
plate trust gets the money and
the newspapers get what the boy
shot at. In don't go in the Ti
dings office.-Frujtland, Idaho,
Tidings.
Ira Hutchins, manager of the
Brownsville Canning and Pre
serving Co., in conversation with
a representative of the Express,
said that D. E. Walgamot, a gar
dener living near Brownsville,
sold to the cannery this year
$262.08 worth of logan berries'
all of which were produced off of
about one-fourth of an acre. At
this rate one acre would yield
$1048.42 worth of logan berries
in a year. This would certainly
be going some on logan berries.
But saying that is too much and
cutting it down 4ess than half w
would still have $500. Logan
berries are certainly very profit
able, and the land around Leba
non is as well adapted to raising
this luscious fruit as any place on
earth. The Brownsville cannery
is in operation and is certainly a
big help to the community. Leb
anon is greatly benefitted by the
Brownsville cannery, it buying
our surplus strawberries, and we
wish them all the success possi

just think of the opportunity to
make money in the Independence
river bottom land.
The Oregon City Courier tried
to take a fall out of us because
we said Forest Grove can boast
of more new business houses
built this year than any other
town in the Willamette Valley.
The Courier claims Oregon City
has built fifty new residence
buildings this year. Now comes
the McMinnville News-Reporter,
claiming' to have both Oregon
City and Forest Grove beaten,
with forty-five new residence
buildings and one two-story bus
iness block.
Please read our article again,
brethren. We mentioned only
the half-score business blocks
now completed and in the course
of construction. There we have
got you faded at the. post. We
said nothing about the half hun
dred or more residence buildings
as we have not had the time to
count them. Try again. Forest
Grove Times.
We invite you all to come to
Independence, where you ' will
find seven new buildings in the
business section; over 50 in the
residence section and more build
ing, all of which are less than
one year old. We could tell you
some more just as interesting.
J. A. Kerr has been experiment
ing with another berry, which he
calls the Australian blackberry,
the seed having been brought ov
er from that country. He says
it is unsurpassed in flavor, larger
than the Giant Himalaya, eight
days later in ripening its first
berries, and twice as prolific as
the old Himalaya. In fact after
thirty-five years' experience with
more than fifty varieties of small
fruits, he asserts that he never
saw its equal as an abundant
bearer, and firmly believes that
from eight to ten tons of these
berries can be raised on one acre
of Benton county soil, as it seems
to actually revel in this soil and
climate.
Mr. Kerr has grown it this
year in the same garden with the
Giant Himalaya, and while the
ast named looks as if it needed
rrigation, the Australian is look
ing as fresh as if it had just re
ceived a good soaking rain. He
obtained the plants of this new
berry from a party in southern
California, who claimed to have
received them from Australia,
and from the results obtained he
feels like throwing up his hat and
houting "Eureka!" Corvallis
