J. L. Murdock returned last
week from a trip in Lincoln
county in the interest of the Mon
mouth Creamery. He was very
successful, securing a consider
able number of new patrons. Our
creamery pays higher prices for
cream than any other in this
part of the state and it should
receive the cream from every
one that is interested in building
up Monmouth, as well as their
individual pocketbook.
North of Monmouth, or rather
we may say in North Monmouth,
for it is only about four blocks
from the college, one may find
some of the nicest suburban
homes of any in the northwest.
Among them is that of Peter
Springer. Mr. Springer has an
ideal home, with fine water piped
through the house in city fashion.
A well arranged barn stands a
short distance in the rear of the
dwelling and a fine garden and
small fruits complete the family
orchard, making everything home
like. He has a frontage on the
road of five acres, with a ten
acre tract back of it. Good cows
and horses complete the details
of the home.
Just as we go to press Mr. Kurre
informs us that his road has been
granted by the County Court and
that it will be opened right away,
This is good news for several
parties that have purchased land
of Mr. Collins on the line of the
new road.

F. W. Martin, who resides
near McMinnville, is harvesting
the results of his experiments in
alfalfa. Two years ago, under
the direction of the Southern Pa
cific, he sowed nine acres on well
drained upland soil with a clay
subsoil. His first crop this year
averaged three and one-half tons
per acre and recent rains will
make an equal amount. With
alfalfa $15 per ton this will make
a neat income off the nine-acre
tract.
Standard Oil chemists are de
clared to have discovered a process-
whereby they can make but
ter as a by-product of crude petro
leum, according to a New York
dispatch. If reports are true,
plans have been prepared and
contracts soon will be let for
putting up a big butter making
plant as a new department of
the Standard Oil works in the
Constable Hook section of Bay
onne New Jersey.
What are we to do with the
man who will allow noxious
weeds to run riot over his prem
ises and not only cause himself
damage, but untold damage to
his neighbor? Many cases of
this kind exist throughout the
state and perhaps some could be
found near here. This should
not be. A dangerous animal
abroad in the neighborhood
would soon cause action to be
taken, but it would be no more
a menace to the welrare of the
community than is , the neglect
of noxious weeds growing on
one's premises or in the 6treet
adjacent thereto.
