The Monmouth herald., January 08, 1909, Image 6

Local and Personal.
Miss Stafford spent her vaca
tion at her home in Oregon City.
Miss Hazel Jewett returned
Tuesday from her home in Rose
burg. F. A. Paterson is one of the
latest additions to the Herald
family in Independence.
Misses Leila Spencer and Ina
Hixon spent their vacation at
their homes in Antelope.
Miss Grace Whitehouse spent
part of her vacation as the guest
of Mrs. W. W. Wiley, of New
berg.
Don't fail to read about the
free trip to the Worlds Fair at
Seattle. Such another chance will
not occur for several years.
Miss Vieva Walker reports an
especially enjoyable time at Eu
gene during the holidays. She
spent her vacation with friends
as she could not go home on ac
count of the great distance.
Misses Shirley Dorsey and
Adele La Londe were passengers
on the Sunday morning train
the former returning from Port
land, the latter from Vancouver.
Both report a very enjoyable
time during Christmas week.
The work in the Training De
partment has been greatly handi
capped the past week on account
of the very great number of ab
sences. Of course these were
due to the inclement weather. It
is feared certificates of good at
tendance will not be earned this
month
Neils Christensen left for Eu
gene Tuesday afternoon having
in charge 0. L. Brewster of Tsilt
coos Lake. A complaint has
been filed in the county judge's
office alleging that Mr. Brewster
is of unsound mind and he was
taken out for a medical examina
tion. Florence West.
Philip S. Bates, publisher, of
the Pacific Northwest, came up
from Portland Sunday for a visit
with the Herald man. Mr. Bates
has done more than any other
one single individual to put the
resources of Oregon and the
northwest before the people of
the United States. lie has taken
several parties of excursionists
east and has scattered literature
with a lavish hand.
In conversation with C. L.
Fitchard, of Independence, the
first of the week, we found that
he is of the same opinion as the
editor of this paper and that is
that hop growers should organize
for their mutual benefit The
middlemen are making the prof
its at the expense of the growers.
Mr. Fitchard is one of the prom
inent growers as well as buyers,
of this section of the west.
Tuesday evening was a busy
time for the boys and the variety
of handsleds and toboggans that
were brought out was equal to
the freaks in a sideshow. Every
body went to Cupids Knoll for a
slide on the "Beautiful snow"
and as a consequence next day
a lot of bad colds were in evi
dence, but think of the fun that
was had. A little snow is a rar
ity here, but good sledding is
much more so.
G. T. Boothby has been go
ing around this week complain
ing of a badly wrenched hip. He
got it by trying his hand at lift
ing chickens. Not the way the
darkeys do it, but they were in a
coop and he was shipping them
to Portland. The trouble with
Mr. Boothby is that he has gotten
so accustomed to shipping stock
that handles itself that he didn't
figure the exertion necessary to
handle other kinds and he over
did the matter.
Miss Ora Williams returned
Monday from her home in Eu
gene. If there is anything wrong
with the Herald this week lay it
to the weather.
For special reasons the barber
shop will close promptly at eight
o'clock Saturday night
Miss Bessie Weston re'urned
Monday from her home in Amity
where she spent her vacation.
Miss Mary Whitney returned
Monday from her home in Eu
gene where she spent the holi
days'. Misses Edith and Ruth Fugate
spent New Years with friends in
Portland and report a very en
joyable time.
Normal Lodge I. 0. 0. F. will
hold regular instalation ceremony
Saturday night. All brother Odd
Fellows invited to be present.
Jacob Smith, who bought the
T. J. Pettit place last summer,
was transacting business in Mon
mouth the first of the week and
paid this office a pleasant call.
Misses Emma Henkle, Mabel
Ellis and Hazel Bohannon have
returned to their work after hav
ing spent a very pleasant vaca
tion at their respective homes in
Independence.
Miss Susie Hoffman spent the
holidays in Portland at the home
of her room-mate, Miss Ethel
Laidlaw. Miss Hoffman's home
is in Eastern Oregon and at this
time of year one cannot always
depend upon scheduled transpor
tation in that section of the
country.
Mr. and Mrs. Grove A. Peter
son returned from their wedding
tour the first of the week and the
college young people gave them
an oldfashioned serenade, in
which the principal musical in
struments were tin cans. How
ever they were expected and did
not get time to execute much
music. Mr. and Mrs. Peterson
enjoyed the music very much.
The Monmouth Real Estate Co.
is the latest addition to the real
estate firms in this city. The bus
iness is under the management
of Grove A. Peterson who has
just located in Monmouth. The
more up-to-date real estate men
locate here the more people that
will come here to locate and
therefore the more land all of
them will sell. We extend fra
ternal greetings to Mr. Peterson
and call espec'al attention to the
liberal advertisement he has in
this issue of the Herald.
One of the worst snowstorms
that the Herald man has ever
witnessed in the Willamette val
ley broke into this town Tuesday
morning and lasted until one
o clock. About eight inches of
snow fell and was accompanied
by a strong north wind. A res
idence of over thirty years in
this valley has never yet given
us such an experience and it
came nearer being a blizzard than
anything we ever saw here, al
though we have seen colder wea
ther. It evidently was the wind
up of the big storm that had been
sweeping over our northwestern
neighbors for several days.
It would seem that old boreas
had it in for this country at pre
sent from the kind of weather
we have been having dished up
to us the first of this week. With
the thermometer hovering around
18 to 25 degrees and a good wind
blowing nearly half the time and
the snow drifting, it makes the
easterner think of the good old
times back home. The natives
here take a different view of the
matter than those who have come
here in the last few years. Those
who have lived here for many
years say that there has been no
such storm here since 1884 and

not more than two such storms
have visited this part of the state
during the past 35 years. On
account of the drifts it is difficult
to get an accurate measurement
of the snow, but it is safe to say
that at least ten inches have
fallen.
Drink
We thank the people for their liberal
patronage during the past year and
hope to merit a continuance of the
same during the coming year.
Wishing all a Happy jew Year
