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

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.

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.
