Local and Personal. Principal L. R. Traver return ed from the metropolis. Mr. Wm. Bevens, of Indepen dence, was a Monmouth visitor Tuesday. Mrs. J. H. Hawley has been ill for a number of days, but is im proving now. Miss Blanche Mulkey is the new operator at the Pacific Tele phone central. Mrs. Vida Worth Holman, of near Albany, visited her mother, Mrs. Worth, of this place, recent ly. Miss Gladys Riggs, of Etna Farm, visited with her grand mother, Mrs. E. Bedwell, of this place, last Saturday. President Ressler was unable to grant the students petition, so school will be held until noon on Wednesday before Christmas. C. C. Yeater while visiting his friend Arthur Haley, had with him a couple of hounds with which he proposed chasing coy otes. We are all proud of our basket ball teams. Although the boys were not so fortunate as the girls we feel that they will be success ful in the future. The Herald finished the work of getting out the first number of the Courier Monday. The sub ject matter is well written and the typographical work is equal to the average. Fred Huber has built a shed on the side of the warehouse in which to house his horses and rig while waiting for the mail. This will make it much pleasanter than having them tied to a post in the rain. George Sullivan, who recently purchased the Poole place, has bought a gasoline woodsaw in partnership with James Goodman and they will saw wood around town. Something we have need ed for some time. J. W. White, ot the upper Luckiamute, was a caller at this office Friday. He and his son are cou.nty agents for Page fencing and they report a lot of fence sold. Mr. White intends moving to Monmouth soon so that his children may take advantage of our splendid school facilities. Wouldn't it be a good thing for some one to go into the rheu barb business? There is a lot of this vegetable sold in the canned state and if there is another place better adapted to its culture than this part of Polk county, it has not yet been brought to public notice. W. W. McEldowney has been recommended for postmaster at Forest Grove by the Oregon del egation in Congress. Mr. Mc Eldowney has been an employee of the post office at that place for seven years and is eminently qualified to fill the position with honor to himself and satisfaction to the people. We hope he re ceives the appointment. He is a nephew of S. A. McEldowney, of Luckiamute. Miss Grace Whitehonse, of the Normal, was favored Saturday and Sunday by a visit from her father. Mr. Whitehouse is a prominent lumberman of Tilla mook City and reports things looking up in that section of the state. About 200 men are at work on the Lytle road and it begins to look as if the long talk ed of railroad was to be a reality in the near future. While the Tillamook people have good roads throughout the county those leading into that country are al most impassable at this season of the year. C. C. Lewis is again able to be out after his severe attack of the grip. J. L. Murdock has put down a cement walk in front of his resi dence. A. L. Burns was a Monmouth visitor Tuesday from his farm near Simpson's station. Dr. Parrish has been quite sick with the grip for the past ten days, but is gettiug better now. Mrs. Mummajis now in charge of a Dastorate in Kansas. Her daughter. Miss Goldie. is with her. Our'rural carrier, Fred Huber, has ended his vacation and is again handling the ribbons on rural route 1. Rev. L. C. Hoover was called to Portland last Friday to attend the funeral of Mrs. H. 0. Hen derson, of Salem. A phone has been installed in the Woodman hall and now mes sages can be sent to any part of the town for tardy members. Tuesday was an extemely stormy day, cold and blustery with rain, but Wednesday morn ing was as calm as a Quaker on Sunday morning. W. W. Stockton, of Sheridan, came up Tuesday for a visit with his nephew, D. M. Hampton. Mr. Stockton is a prominent farmer of his section of the state. Mr. Geninnie, who recently bought land north of town, has built a h6use and moved his family onto the place. His child ren will attend the Training De partment of the Normal. Quarterly Meeting will be held at the Evangelical church Satur day and Sunday the 19th and 20th. Rev. H. E. Hornschuch, of Port land, will preach at 7 p. m. Sat urday and at 11 a. m. and 7 p. m. Sunday. An interesting revival meet ing is now in progress at the Christian church under the min istration of Rev. Stevens and wife, who are splendid workers. They have met with such good success that they will continue the services over Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Will Jones have gone to Lewisville to spend the holidays with Mrs. Hannum, Mrs Jones' mother. They will also visit with Mrs. Hadley, a sister of Mrs. Jones. If there should come a little snow during the holidays we may expect to hear of the coons suffering. A. J. Shipley was a Sunday visitor with the editor of the Herald. Mr. Shipley is raising strawberries and loganberries at Alpine Farm. He has been doing some experimenting with both, as to adaptability of soil and cul tivation. He is trying different methods of prunnng on the loganberry and his experiments will be watched with interest by those having this kind of fruit Wouldn't it be a good idea for our local creamery to add an ice plant next spring and put in a onmnlptp cold storaire outfit? It wnnld be a creat saving to the people of this part of the county, for they could not only turn out ice for their own use and that of the town, but could get a large patronage from the surrounding country, for they could furnish ice cheaper than it is now sold in most of the smaller towns near here. Besides this they could operate an ice cream plant in connection and furnish ice cream to the confectioneries of several towns. We could then have the satisfaction of knowing that the ice cream we ate would be home made and the money spent for it would be helping build up our home industries.
