PROSPEROUS
GROWTH
' (Special to The Journil.) -
Monmouth. Or., Nov, 15. During the
past s pa on Monmouth has seen a per
lod cf uninterrupted growth. From the
, beginning of tho year business haa been
remarkably revived, with the addition
of several new Industries. Ml' houses
are occupied and new ones were erected
last summer. A noted feature of the
' population Js the large number of neo
' pie from tho eastern states recently
mailing their. homos hare.
8ever.il years ago the farmers and
dairymen In the surrounding farming
umirici met nere ana promoted plans
iora creamery, whlcn was built. Thl
was the second to be erected in Polk
county, the first one having been built
only a ohort timer before in Independ
nec. The concern is owned by farm
era and dairymen today and has twice
paid substantial dividends.
Not long after the meeting for a
creamery was held, the fruitgrowers
met and formed tho Monmouth Kvanor
atlngand Cannlnjr company with J..H.
Hawley as president. A cannerv ahd
drier were immediately built ahif'the
growing or an Kinds or fruit was en
couraged. Many acres were set out to
various kinds of fruit trees, and the
cannery had a full run the first year,
Eoch year since the drier was erected.
large quantity of prunes has been
nanaicd. Both plants of the company
are operated by Monmouth capital.
Considerable wealth has come to this
district as a result of extensive grain
raising by the farmers. In addition to
the regular grain crops, hundreds of
ores have been planted to clover dur
ing tho past two years, This crop gives
excellent pasture to sheep, produces one
good hay crop each year, -and a val
, uablo seed crop yearly in September,
(several varlotles of barley were se
cured from the government and tried
' out this year. The greater number
proved ruccessfui. Two larae ware
houa.es are now in Monmouth to care
for the larpe grain crops. One, four
storleshigh, was built by G. H. Stone
two years ago, and has machinery lo
cated there for manufacturing the well
known Monmouth brand flour.
Oil Well Zs Sought.
One project, whicb is receiving much
attention, is the oil well prospect, two
miles north of this city on the Whlte
aker farm. The well has been extended
td a depth of ovef 1500 feet, and gases
were evident during the last part of the
drilling. Three derricks have been
erected, 80 feet high, and the drillers
arc confident that successful results
will be accomplished when the operation
of the drilling Is placed upon a sub
stantial financial basis.
In addition to numerous street and
sidewalk Improvements in Monmouth,
the past three years have seen built
a new $21,000 high school building and
a $22,000 gravity water system, the
latter having a pressure of 45 pounds.
A new garage, and brck building are
nearly completed now on Main street.
Over four miles of cement walks have
been laid and 'the work is being con
tinued. At present Monmouth is quite
heavily bonded, but it is believed that
the next work to be accomplished is the
paving of the principal streets.
As the result of a complaint filed by
the people of the city and adjacent
country to the Oregon Railway com
mission against the station here, the
Southern Pacific company has erected a
new depot at the intersection of the
Dalian, Independence, and Alrlia tracks
in this city. Tho new structure, which
was rlrsc occupied a short time ago,
la modern In every detail, and fully ade
quate to handle the increased business.
The old building Is in use as a freight
depot. The fare between Monmouth and
Dallas- a distance of about eight miles-
has been cut from 30 to 25 cents, and
the railroad service in alt its branches
is greatly improved.
Monmouth has a good water system
The reservoir is located on Cupid's
Knoll, just outside the western limits
-of1 the city.' a"d bainmapactty-of 2S27-
000 gallons. Its height above the city is
110 feet and the pressure is sufficient
for all purposes. Meters have been eg
tabllshed and the. system placed on a
successful economic basis.
Normal School Xs Growing-.
In the midst of favorable surround
ings is situated the . Oregon Normal
school, the only Oregon state Institution
for rue training or students for teach
ers. This school has received a $60,000
girls' dormitory, and a new $8000 gym
nasium la now In course of construc
tion. The attendance n constantly grow
ing and the various departments are en
larged. The school is one cause of the
city'o population lnoreaso this year,
The ' publio grade school, located in a
separate building, is used as a training
cnooi tor tne vreson Normal school,
where the students get practice in
teaching under the best critics. The
Monmouth high school, situated one
block east of the Normal building, Is
an independent school. Its attendance is
increased this year and the now course
of-study haa proven to be attractive.
With the work carried on in these
schools, Monmouth is known to have
an excellent school system.
. Famous throughout the United States
and South America are the sheep and
Angora goats of the Monmouth farm
ing district. The stock has won where
ever exhibited and shipments are fre
quently made to other countries. Mon
mouth's reputation, as the center of
the livestock Industry in Polk county
Is now become Well established.

Satisfied That Miller Was Guil

Was Not.
(Spoclul to The JVmrual.)
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 15. "I couldn't

yesterday 1 found everything needed
cleaning and I am doing my washing,"
she explained.
Mrs. Crossett la a widow under mid
dle age and goes out dressmaking by
the day.
"To tell you the honest truth," she
said, "I never realized that I was do
ing anything unusual until people be
gan to call me up yesterday afternoon
and today, and I saw something about
it In the papers.
"The evidence all pointed to the
man's guilt, but it was he himself who
convinced me of it. I was sure of my
opinion, and it didn't seem right for
me to give up and say ,he was not
guilty. I didn't try to change anybody
else's opinion, I Just kept my own.
"I believe the other two women who
changed thtr votes did so because
they were beaten in the arguments.

changed their minds. I didn't argue.
