The Oregon City Transporta tion Co., has cut the fare from Portland to Salem from $1.00 to 50 cents and from Portland to Independence from $1.50 to 75 cents. If one is not in a hurry to go to the city and back the same day this is getting trans portation for about what it is worth. When the government owns the locks and they are made free to everybody the fare will be down to 50 cents from Inde pendence, from the fact that there will be a number of small boats put on that cannot make expenses as it now is. We have made arrangements with the Pacific Monthly where by we are able to offer that ex cellent magazine and the Herald for less money than you can get .'t and any other paper in this county. We will club both papers for $1.75. You would have to pay $1.50 for the Monthly alone thus you get the Herald for practically 25 cents. This offer will only last a short time. Dur ing this time we accept ballots in the voting contest, which has been postponed until Christmas on account of the small number of ballots being taken out.
