Sute XJalr INDEPENDENCE MONITOR VOL. 2 INDIPENDENCE, POLK COUNTY, OREGON. FRIDAY, AUG. 15, 1913 NO. 3 CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN Next Week Sees Railroad Building to Siletz ENGINEERS ARRIVE SUNDAY Fart of Work will Start from Siletz East, Part West rom near Airlie A welcome report reaches the Monitor office this week when we learn that actual construction on the Valley and Siletz Railroad Is to begin at once. This means the building of the big saw mill at Independence by the Falls City Lumber Company and the em ployment of probably 200 men the year around in the mill. Sunday morning a crew of surveyors arrived in Independ ence on the Southern Pacific and they immediately left to take charge of the survey work for the new railroad, for which most i of the right of way has already been purchased, the balance of which is now being secured through condemnation proceed ings in the circuit court. Construction material is being assembled and actual construct ion work to be commenced Mon day is the report given us. The building as now projected begins naar Airlie on the Southern Pa cine line and will extend to the timber of the Siletz, later it will probably be extended on to the coast. Work is to begin at both ends of the right of way and the road will be built as fast as pos sible. It will be a standard gauge line and built of a good weiarht of steel and made a first class road for all purposes. This new line means, much for this city and this part of Folk county and marks an era of de velopment for Polk ,-ounty that will mean much added wealth and an increased population in this section of the county. NOT WHAT HE WANTED BUT JUST AS GOOD THOUGH Well Doctor is it a boy or girl were the words credited to "Ted" Cooper Wednesday morning at his home when a new arrival was handed over by Dr. Stork. "It is a girl" said the doctor. Well that is not what I planned on, but it is just as good though. The new arrival weighed nine pounds, the mother and babe are doing nicely and "Ted" is able to be about. The editor of the Monitor wishes to congratu late him and hopes his next will be a fine boy. MORE STREET INPROVEMENT City Council Orders Work Done on Many Str;ets New cement side walks, curb ing, and the graveling and grad ing of streets to grade has been ordered in all the streets south of Monmouth street and west of Fourth street. The city council made this order at their last ses sion and also set aside a day to give the property owners an op portunity to appear before the council regarding this matter. Part of this territory was cov ered by a petition asking for the above improvements signed by the people living in the territory to be improved. A movement is also under way to have C street paved, and quite a number of th property owners have stated they were in favor of the paving. Louis R. Glavis, who was a spot light player at the time of the Pinchot affair in Washington. D. C, jumped into the public eye strain when F.leanor Fmv a 99 year old Portland girl attempted to commit suicide by taking car Done acid. August 11, leaving a note beside her saying "Louis, you wronged. Your life ought to be happy at the expense of mine. Burn my body. Don't tell the folks." She was rushed to the Oakland hospital and may recover. IMPROVEMENTS GOING ON IN TOWN O. A. Kreamer has made ar rangements to put in a fine new plate glass front to his store on Main street and expects to have as good display windows as are in the city. The whole front of the store will be remodelled. Llndon & Kibby were awarded the contract for filling in the abutments to the county bridge on C street. The cement bridge v as completed Tuesday and the big cement mixers was shipped out by the contractors. C. A. Dossett of the Endolane orchards farm shipped out a trio Women of Future Will Not Be Slaves to Fashion By JEAN Celebrated French t; E WOMAN OF THE FUTURE ION, AND THIS WILL DO 8HE WILL AT LEAST KNOW THAT THE NATURAL, WHICH IDENTI FIES ITSELF WITH THE TRUE, IS THE BA8I8 OF BEAUTY, WHILE FOOLISH FASHION U8UALLY DE8TROY8 THE TRUE AND THE NATURAL. The history of fashion during the century has either been the com pression or the exaggeration of the prominent parts of woman's form. In short, it has been an awful caricature of what woman would look like under more normal conditions. Woman must be really beautiful if she has been able to resist the as saults of fashion during the ages, for NOT OXLY DOES IT REV DER HER UGLY, HUT IT IXJUKES HER HEALTH. Begin ning with the hats which weary her head and disturb her brain; passing over the pins, corsets and gowns, storehouses of microbes and dust and ending with the method of covering her feet, everything conspires against her respiration and her digestion. THE WOMAN OF TODAY IS ANXIOU8 TO EXPRE88 HER IN DIVIDUALITY IN HER NATURE AND MENTALITY AND WILL 800N DESIRE TO EXPRESS HERSELF IN HER C08TUME8. The individual woman will want personal costumes inotearl of fresh fashions that INJURE TIER BODY AND THEREFORE nER MIND. She will demand clothes that EXPRESS HARMONY with her body, her coloring and soul. That women still cling to the RIDIC ULOUS IN DRESS is not so surprising when we remember that a few centuries ago men suffered themselves to be held in by waists snd (tays and tight knee breeches. They wore large hats, much lace, long chains and other accessories that were considered a necessary part of fashion. of thoroughbred buff Brahmas to parties in Washington Tuesday. The Hop City lodge of Moose at its meeting last week closed a contract for the Camp bell hall over Craven & Moore's store and are having the hall overhauled for lodge and club room purposes. The whole sec ond story has been secured by the Moose anrl thev will have the best hall in this section when it is completed ai now planned. I I H. J. Rowe made arrangements this week to move his jewelry store from C street to the Red Cross Pharmacy building and will occupy the south window of this store. He will put in new fix- tures and otherwise improve the jewelry department of hiB store when moving to this hew loca- tion. Dr. Lowe, the well-known op tician and optometrist, has asso ciated with him in his practice an equally skilled eye specialist, Dr. J. G. Turner. Dr. Turner has had more than 18 years' of ex- penence as an oculist. He was graduated from one of the lead- ing colleges of Chicago and at- j j a , i , K, tended different clinics in New York. His certificates of regis- tration show he has passed the state examination boards of Or- egon, Washington, Idaho and Canada. Dr. Lowe is to be con gratulated on acquiring the asso ciation of so eminent a practi tioner as a co-laborer.

ANOTHER BIG STORE To Ba Built on Main Street at Once Far New Firm MENS FURNISHING STORE ! Geo. L. Whiteaker to Build the New Building to be ' Ready for Occupancy November 1st. Another big improvement to Main street is announced this week in tho building of a new 81x70 foot brick on Main street. (joining the old Star Theatre j building: on the north. The ten , ants occupying the old wooden structures at thia location are to vacate the premises at once and the old buildings will be torn out probably next week to make room We Need Some tween employers and employees.

THE TRADE LIFE OF THE AMERICAN WORKINGMAN 18 THE SHORTEST OF ANY WORKINGMAN. THE INTENSITY AND SPEEDING OF THE PACE 8ET HERE ARE 8UCH THAT MEN WEAR OUT, ARE INJURED OR OTHERWISE INCAPACITATED FOR FURTHER LABOR MUCH MORE QUICKLY THAN EL8EWHERE. It has been caid, of courso, that the higher wages here and the con sequently better food Hnd living conditions ofTsel this nlniin by fortify ing the worker against it. This DOES NOT NECESSARILY FOl LOW. We hear a pood deal about the permioning of aged employees by cor porations. Such pensions usually come from a fund to which the em ployees and the corporations have jointly contributed. There is always one great drawback to tho actual practical value of old age pensions as a private beneficence when the man or woman i nearing the age at which the pension should go into effect he or she may be dismissed. Therefore it is a MERE PliETENSK in Home rnne. for the new building. The new structure will be of brick, with a fine pres. brick front and modern plate tfassdis- play windows. The building will have a width of 31 feet and a depth of 70 feet and prohabaly more. Mr. Whiteaker has leased the propprty to Missall & Knapp, a gents furnirshlntfs firm, who will move to Independence from Al bany They nre to have pos session of the new building Nov- ! embfcr 1, but as their lease in Albany expires September 1st, j they will probably open in tem- porary quarters here before that time.

TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS I hope you are all having a irood time during vacation, play Insr, working some, and reading some; and not forgetting to pre pare your exhibits for the school fairs. Had you thought about how soon they will be here? Only a few short weeks now, and the time will pass quickly. Procras tination is said to be the thief of time. Do not let it be the thief of thoso prizes you have no doubt had your heart set on winning. It is so ensy to wasts time and get slack in our habits, especially during vacation.

The woiu i wi Keen trrowiuit ui-bc hot days just the same, and ir you do not keep them hoed or pulled up they will rob your pumpkins and potatoes of the moisture they need, and they will not jfrow to be priie winners. If you p.re raisin poultry, do not fail to feed the fowls regularly and well and handle them care fully so they will be gentle and In (rood condition. If you expect to exhibit sewinjr and win that sewinjr machine, p-old watch, or some other attrac tive prize, you have no time to lone. If you would win in th bread making contest, you can not practice too much. Do not be afraid of soiling your hand with the douRh. It is no disgrace to work, and horny hands are honorable. Do not oretlook the fact that the railroad? will carry your ex hibits to and from the State Fair free of charge. The children of no other state are so generously treated by the railroads, so far as we know. Do not fail to read ths rules and regulations in the State Fair Prize List which tell you what you have to do in order to fret the free rate. Some boy or girl who reads this may say "I have to work hard all the time and never hare a vacation, and do not hare time to prepare anything for the fair.

Friday morning Kidder Brothers started threshing their wheat and oats and Monday saw the machines at work in different sections of thecounty. At Buena Vista E. R. Gobat started his thresher on the M. C. Anderson farm and then moved to ths Harley Prather place where ha threshed about 2000 bushels of wheat and oats. We are also informed that threshing Is now in full force in the Wells section and the machines now out all have plenty of grain ripe enough to keep them running until the threshing season closes. State Treasurer Kay nd Secretary of State Oloott pub licity announced that thy would ftupport Plimpton ami Ktowi for him at the meeting. The Governor, it is under tood,'refrainei from voting.

Hard work does not hurt you if you do not chafe and worry about it. Our best and greatest people had to work hard. Sur mounting difficulties brings out the best that is in you, and de velops strength of character. The best exhibits at the school fairs last year were generally made by children who had to work hard. loafers do not win prizes at fairs nor in the battles of life. Perhaps you are not acquainted with Mr. Churchill, our new State Superintendent, but you will have an opportunity to meet him some day, I hope. I am sure you will like him; he says he is very much Interested in the boys and girls of Oregon, and especially in seeing them learn tho practical things of life. He is anxious to see definite results from the In dustrial Department. It is up to you to show auch results, boys and girls, and I am sure you will do your part. Very truly yours, N. C.
