Local and Personal. Miss May Goode, of Portland, was visiting friends in Monmouth over Sunday. Hubert Goode, of the '08 class of the 0. S. N. S., attended the Senior reception. What is the matter with the union high school proposition? We haye heard but little of it lately. Mrs. Ella Applegate accompan i2d her sister, Mrs Haley, from Portland Saturday, returning to her home at Drain Sunday. A. B. Morland was compelled to come back home from Corval lis the first of the week on ac count of a severe attack of la grippe. He is getting around again. C. C. Lewis has been on the sick list the past week with la grippe, and as a consequence has been unable to look after land matters, but he is hopeful of be ing out again next week. Milton Force came up from Portland to attend the Sen'or re ception and will perhaps remain until the first of the year, when he intends entering the service of the J. K. Gill Company as salesman. Clay Taylor and wife were up from Crowley for an over Sun day visit with Mrs. Taylor's par ents, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Pettit. Mr. Taylor visited the editor while here and had his name en terred on our list for a years sub scription. It has been suggested that the name of Cooper Hollow be chang ed to Pleasant Valley. Not that there is anything objectionable in the name of Cooper, but it doesn't sound as well to say one lives in a hollow as in a valley. Pleasant Valley sounds well and it would seem to be more in ac- . cord with the topographical sit uation. Our presses are not rusting for want of work, on the contrary we are behind with our job de partment on account of getting out the Courier, but we expect to have the rush over this week and will then take up the orders that are now waiting. We have filled orders for work from out side counties and from Washing ton and Idaho points. Clarence Nichols and family, of Overton, Nebraska, are here visiting relatives. Mr. Nichols is a nephew of Mrs C. E. Force. He is station agent for the Union Pacific at his home town and when appointed was but 17 years of age, being the youngest agent on the system. They will visit here and then go to California for a visit with Mrs. Nichols' parents. A trip to Independence shows considerable improvement going on along the line of the I. & M. Ry. New barns and silos and considerable plowing has been done this fall. The majority of the improvements have been made around Talmage. In the course of time a nice little village will spring up at that place and will be an ideal place for suburb an homes. Postal Inspector Clemens took a trip over the proposed rural route Monday. This route will be a great benefit to many people if it is established. It would serve 114 people and be 22 miles long. Going north to within two miles of Rickreall it turns west ward to the environs of Dallas and then over the hills in the Cooper Hollow (Pleasant Valley) district, thence to Monmouth. It would be a boon to many who now have to go to Dallas or Mon mouth for their mail. Vol. Huber, of Gilliam county, is here for an extended visit with his brothers. Mrs. Clarence Burroughs and daughter, were business visitors in town Saturday. Miss March Brewster went to Portland Monday for an indefin ite visit with friends. W. M. Fishback, of Monmouth Heights, made a business trip to Salem Friday afternoon. Mrs. Minnie Beckley, of Oak land, visited with her sisters at Mrs. A. J. Haley's Saturday. M. A. Rickard and wife return ed Sunday from a trip to the me tropolis going on to their home at Corvallis. Monday. Mrs. A. J. Haley returned Sat urday from Portland where she has been attending the funeral of her brother Rxlph B. Fisher" 'After a week's pleasant visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Springer, Mrs. Jennie Klampe has returned to her home in Jefferson, going by way of Salem. Geo. C. Fisher, of Bakersfield, California, formerly a resident of Monmouth, visited with rela tives here over Sunday while en route home from the funeral of his brother Ralph, at Portland. See the notice of election of officers of the Pilot Knob Milling & Mining Co.. in this issue. This is unlike most mining com panies, in that the stock is all owned by home people and in time will become a big mine. President Roosevelt greeted Governor Chamberlain Saturday with the words "I am glad to meet you Governor Chamberlain and Senator to be." This ought to settle the matter as to the feel ing of the first citizen of the land in regard to the situation in this state. H. D. Brooks and family left for Fresno, California last week. Mr. Brooks has been the superin tendent of the cannery for the past summer and his work has been very satisfactory. It is to be hoped that he will be with us again next year. His mother has been in feeble health for a long time and on this account he may be unable to return the coming season to take charge here. Mr. Brooks is a son-in-law of our fel low townsmen, C. II. Ebbe. The Herald will keep him posted on the home news for the coming year. 5a Two Popular Styles in ROYAL WORCESTER CORSETS a A model for the medium slender figure. Has very low and prin cess hip.
