I CONKEY & WALKER The Leading Store of Independence ceived assurance from several parties in nev localities that they would unite on some candidate in their community and make the run. One feature that is attracting general attention is that we give a reeent. reprint, copyright book free as a part of library for every subscription. And several com- munities plan on having a library in their own section as a part of tVa Hf ,v ;... i: I mo uig muuiiui vii i:uiauuK li brary. This insures them good late reading during the year, as the local library will be inter- many gifts Neckwear changeable with the central li brary at Independence. Only new subscribers, or those paying subscriptions on back accounts will get this membership prive lege. It holds for town people as well others. We wish to call your attention to the fact that all ads from the stores must be cut out entire and the name of the candidate writ ten in the blank Hnea in the con. pon that is part of the ad and the ad must be voted at the store. Thus Craven & Moore's ad must be voted at Craven & Moore's store and the Red Cross Phar macy ad at that store. There are five of these coupons in each paper and each is good for ten votes. As many of these coupons can be voted as there are subscribers and for what ever candidate you may w ish. Next week there will be a cou pon good for 5000 votes to the person in the town of Independ ence finding the "hidden quota tion" and also to the first person out of town finding it This quo tation will be broken and scat' tered through the paper. The key words or first three words of quotation will be found quoted in the largest ad in the Monitor and not a store taking part in the con tPSt It's not ton late to get in the race and win a piano. The contest is just begun and the people are just commencing to get inter ested. Some do not seem to remember that the first .person correcting the ads and delivering them to the several stores gets a coupon fcr 100 votes each week from the several stores. Also that the first each week mailed in from outside the city limits also gets a coupon for 100 votes from each store. Every candidate gets 5 votes for each item of news she or he mails or brings to the office and if two candidates bring the same item, only one is printed but both are credited for their news. This week we decided to ex tend the five subscription club offer of 50,000 votes to the peo ple 01 otner districts giving the out of town people an even break with those in town. In order to start the different localities in this contest a 30,000 vote coupon will be given the first candidate in each communi ty that secures a club of five sub scriptions. This in addition to their nomination coupon of 10,000 votes and the regular 10,000 votes allowed for five subscrip tions starts your community In this contest with a vote of 50.000. For the second club of five in the city we will give an addition al 10,000 votes and th second and third winners will receive 7500 and 5000 respectively. This offer closes in seven days from this iisue of the Monitor. This contest is causing more comment than any contest ever held in the county and the fea tures all being new and novel make the interest more keen every day. The ad coupons and paper coupons must be voted 'each week, all other coupons can be voted as desired. Coupons for subscriptions will be issued and can be held in re serve or voted as desired by the candidates.

F. Swope and Oscar Hayter of Dallas as to the liabil ity of the city under the contract. At the session Wednesday night the matter was deferred until Thursday and the council expect ed to settle tha matter at that time. They were also considering the matter of the saloon licenses and issued licenses for two saloons at $3000 a year each. The Linden-KIbbe company had a crew of men on a good part of this week patching the paving on the center of Mon mouth street where the heavy travel has worn in many places. Other streets have not had a fair trial and the general opinion is against receiving the pavement from the company. what to cfive for COLLECTIONS INDEPENDENCE OREGON MMI htllllltMHIIimhl iir. ililH
