Orepon Hist. Society 207 Secowl Street INDEPENDENCE MONITOR VOL. 2 INDEPENDENCE, POLK COUNTY, OREGON. FRIDAY, SEPT. 19, 1913 NO. 8 BOOSTER MEETING tarested in the children's move ment were present and took part. Dallas Comes to Invite Independence Over ISIS THEATRE WELL FILLED Break Down by Part of Dal las Boosters Enroute a Bad Feature for the Meeting Tha people of Independence showed a ipirit of cooperation Tuesday night at the big booster meeting for the county fair. The Isis Theatre was well filled and would have been taxed to its ut most if the Dallas contingent had all arrived on time. A break down on the road detained a good part of the band and many of the principal speakers and entertain ers, and consequently many who came left before the meeting was started. A little after nine the big truck came in with the band boys on it and the music feature was started. The house filled up comfortably full and the meeting was enthusiastie and successful. Attorney Hay ter, Secret a r y Miles, and others of Dallas spoke, while Attorney Swope represent ed Independence at the meeting. The plans of the fair, the neces sity of cooperation, the get to gether spirit were the main fea tures of the speaking. The people of Independence showed the spirit of fairness and on every side was assurance of cooperation and support in the movement. Independence being the great center of many of the leading industries of the county this cooperation on the part of our people was deeply appreciated and Dallas feels much pleased in the assurance they have from our people. This county is too small for petty jealousies and the Mon itor feels that the only method that should appeal to the people of these two communities is that of cooperation. While both individually want all they can get, when a decision is made then the other should join hands because in every pub lic movement the permanent re sults comes to all communities alike, while the main expense must be borne by the community chosen to represent the county. Independence will be at Dallas September 23, 24, 25 and there in goodly numbers. Wednesday morninjr word was received in Independence that the hop house and heps of S.
