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.
