Local and Personal., Merry Christmas! Mort Staats, of near Airlie, J was transacting business in Mon mouth Tuesday. Mrs. A. B. Westfall has been on the sick list the past week with Erysipelas. Hon. C. L. Hawley came up from McCoy Saturday for a visit with the home folks. Miss Nettie Miller, of the Nor mal, will spend the holidays with her parents at Aurora. C. C. Lewis, who has been laid up with the grip for the past two weeks, is able to be out again. D. M. Hewitt's dwelling is as suming proport ons and is being completed as fast as circumstan ces will permit. Cass Gibson, of Rickreall, was a business visitor in town Tues day. He is one of Polk county's most substantial farmers. The sawmill that cut oak lum ber west of here last winter has been removed to Clackamas county for the same purpose. Three men arrived here from Missouri Saturday to look at the country. They are friends of M'lton Bosley, of Monmouth Heights. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Baun will go with Mr. and Mrs. Ed Fuller to spend the holidays with the latters parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ford, at Sheridan. We were threatened with one of Portland's silver thaws Sun day, but the weather man gave us a few degrees more of warmth and it passed us by. Plant fruit, plant walnuts, plant horseradish, plant berries, plant everything that will grow, but first of all plant yourself on a piece of Polk county soil while it is cheap. Mrs. J. M. Smith left for Port land Tuesday morning where she will visit for a time with her daughter, Mrs. Handsaker, at Arleta and will also visit in Mc Minnville before returning home. That there is an upward ten dency in the real estate market is proven by the fact that a ten acre tract one mile from Mon mouth, purchased last year for $95 per acre, has been optioned at $200 per acre. W. H. Waggoner, who has been in charge of the Perkins Phar macy, left Monday for Portland, where he will locate. Mr. Wag goner made many friends while here and we bespeak him a plea sing situation wherever he de cides to stop. A. M. Arant was in from his farm Monday and paid this office a pleasant call. Mr. Arant has several filbert trees on his farm that yield very well and there is no reason why the Willamette valley should not furnish filberts for the coast as well as walnuts. Filberts begin bearing in from one to two years from time of planting and can be set between the rows of walnuts if so de sired. Winegar & Co., have sold to Sullivan & Goodman a seven horse power gasoline engine of a new pattern from any that has ever been in this section. It is a double cylinder engine and it is said to be better in many res pects from the others. It is an air cooled machine and has few er parts than most of them. We are glad to see some one take up the matter of a woodsaw as it has been one for the contentions of the Herald, that we needed such an enterprise here. We hope the gentlemen will meet with pro per encouragement Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Calbreath were in from the farm shopping Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Bowman, of Elkins, were shopping in Mon mouth Tuesday. Miss Orace Hawley left for her home in Amity Friday to remain during the holidays. Mr. and Mrs. Springer and son Leslie, went to Salem Saturday returning next day. Mrs. H. W. Lucas went to Cor- vallis Saturday for an over Sun day visit with her sister. Mr. Bingman's brother ar rived the first of the week from Idaho and will locate here. Mrs. E. W. Strong returned Monday from a visit with her daughter, Mrs. Edna Barnell, in Portland. It is expected that there will be a large attendance at the Christmas tree at the Evangel ical church. Chester Mulkey and wife, of Amity, are visiting his grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Mulkey. They will spend Christ mas in Salem. The revival at the Christian church was a success. Thirty four accessions, 25 by baptism and nine fr m other churches and by letter. P. 0. Powell, is setting out several acres of walnuts, filberts and other trees this fall and win ter and will have a fine income in a few years. Several cars of treated ties were sidetracked here the fore part of the week, which indicates that there is to be some building and repairing done in this vicin ity soon. Quite a crowd of "lumber Jacks", from Strong and Mar tin's mill, were in town Saturday evening, dividing their wages with the barber shop and other business houses. A letter received from R. T. Boothby requesting his paper changed from Summit to Mc Minnville indicates that he has settled in his new home and be come a permanent citizen of Yam hill county. J. M. McDonald attended the Poultry Show at Dallas last week and reports a fine showing of birds, but not a very large at tendance. He bought a fine Rhode Island Red rooster which he says will be a prize winner. C. E. Newsom, of Salem, is the new druggist at Perkins Pharmacy. He comes well recom mended. Mr. Newsom's father was an Idaho pioneer in the days when Florence was a great min ing camp. Newsom creek near Elk City was named in honor of his discovery of gold on it during those early days. Miss Ethel Lucas, who is teaching near Dillard, Douglas county, is home for the holidays, but is indulging in a very fash ionable limp, accasioned by try ing to be too speedy during the recent cold weather, causing a sprained knee. However she is getting, along nicely and says that even such misfortunes have their pleasant features. Mr. Butler reports he is short several volumes in the "Normal library. These books were taken out two or more years ago, be fore the present system was adopted, and were not returned at the time. Those taking them out having left town and no doubt they are now on the shelves where they were left at the time. Those having books should look through them and if they find any belonging to the library that were taken out in this way, will confer a favor on Mr. Butler by notifying him and he will get them.
