RELIC OF BY GOfOAYS DRY PROTEST IN 1867 Remonstrance Signed By Old Timers Is Found; Wm. Chase Sold Less Than a Qt. Stories of pioruer days are al ways interesting, especially if they pertain to the history of the particular locality in which we live. The pioneers of Inde pendence could tell many an in teresting incident that wouM hold breathless the interest oN the present generation, and the Monitor has often wished that one of them would go back to the old .days and write of the events that happened then. Curt Cooper, a Bmall boy in the sixties, but the son of a pi oneee father and mother, a few davs aero while going thru his father's effects, found an inter esting legal paper which was of vital importance in 1867 and ere ated much contention in the otmmumty. It was a remon strance filed in the county court of Polk county "in the matter of W. M. Chase's application to sell spirituous liquor in less quan tities than one quart" Sullivan & Whitson were the attorneys for the remonstrators, The fol lowing names appear on the pe tition: W Water house, William Mason, N. H. Butler, W. L. HedgeB, P. H. D. Murphy, Da vid Rohrer, Solomon Tetherow, John D. Murphy, A. S. Butler, E. Murphy, H. Mulkey, I. P. Beebe, Wm. F. Kramer, J. M. Mason, A. W. Lucas, Elijah Davidson. E. W. Carlisle, J. T. Johnson, I. Psrge and Luke Mulkey. Nearly all of these old timers are dead now. They were the first "drys" in the Independence district and that was 48 years ago, although it will be noticed that the remonstrance was against the selling of "spiritu ous liquors in less quantities than one quart" Pioneers of this locality are cordially invited to contribute to the Monitor ether stories of the day when the country "new." was FOMONA ON RUN The steamer Pomona will be placed in Berv ice by the Oregon City Transportation company next Monday, taking the place of the Granamona, running be tween Salem and Portland.

Bennett gave when he faced a crowded church Sunday night Then he pro ceeded to preach one of the most forceful sermons ever heard in Independence. NOT AT ALL LIKE MILWAUKEE They Don't Do Things In Independence Like The j Do "Back Home" They don't do things in Inde pendence. Or., as they do in Milwaukee, Wis., and as a result Edward Keickbush, of Milwau kee, left Oregon last week a poorer and a sadder man. The other day as Mr. Keick bush and his wife were riding through Independence on their Harley-Davidson side car, he spied the first saloon he had seen in many a mile of dusty travel and he immediately halW his rig and disappeared behind the swinging doors. Soon he came out with two tumblers of foaming beer and he presented one of the tumblers to his wife, who, for the moment, imagined she was back in dear aid Wisconsin. Suddenly, how. ever, they heard this crnounce ment: "You are under arrest," and they looked around to see that they were within the clutch es of the law. "What'" the idea?" snapped Keickbush, surprised. "There is a law in Independ ence which specifically forbid? serving drinks on the street, that's the idea," replied the "copper." I When it came time to pay the fine of $5 Keickbush wrote out his check calmly, but he made this notation, "I pay this under j protest and I hope Independence goes to the devil with it." Sun day Oregonian. ROUGH ON THE DOGS First the city ordered the dogs to be chained, then the Live Stock Sanitary Board, and now comes John W. Orr, sheriff, with a notice to the same effect. As far as the Independence dogs are concerned, they have been tied for six weks in the day time at least, but their un cles and aunts and grandpapa in the est of Polk county have heretofore been enjoying their freedom and maintaining their social race. Now they too must be deprived of their liberty and be attached to a chain to pine and howl. A decision of the supreme court rendered last week de prives officials of the right to kill dogs without the consent of their owners; so in the future, Instead of killing the dog run ning at large, the officers will follow the animal home, capture its master and lead the gentle-1 man to the nearest court where not less than $50 will be deduct ed from their pocketbook. EVERYBODY THERE Headed by Superintendent J. H. Ackerman, of the Monmouth normal, ana i. it. tiirscriberg, of Independence, about 400 stu dents of the Monmouth normal and citizens of Monmouth and Independence, paid a visit in n body this morning to the insane asylum and state penitentiary and were shown every courtesy l y the heads and employes of those institutions. When they arrived at the prison to go through Mr. Hirscbberg sake! Frank Davey, chief bookkeeper, if it would be necessary for them to register, "No", grave ly replied Mr. Davey, "I don't believe that will be necessary; we can secure a copy of the reg istration of the normal schoo? and the directories of Monmouth and Independence and that will S' ffice."

St II.: I m TO RECALL OR NOT TORECALL THAT IS THE QUESTION The Whole County Awaits With Deep Interest the Of ficial "Bill of Particulars" The threatened recall of Judge Teal and Commissioners Wells and Beckett, is still in embryo and ns yet no petitions are ia circulation. Until the petitions are circu lated nnd charges are made, backed by reputable men, no unbiased opinion is possible. That there is much criticism of of the county court cannot be denied but whether it is of suffic ient seriousness to justify tho recall with the expense thereof remains to be judged when tho official "bill of particulars" Is given to the public.
