Th& iH3 1 a Vol. IV REGULAR PORTLAND LETTER Portland, Or., Oct. 31 -One of the finest locations in Portland has been secured for the Oregon Apple Show, Nov. 15-18. It will be housed in the new Yeon Building, corner Fifth and. Alder streets, and there is every indi cation that it will be a big suc cess. The premium list has just been issued and is attracting a great deal of attention. Requests for space have come from far-away British Columbia and well known fruit sections of -the Northwest will be represented quite gener ally. , In addition to prizes offered for the most perfect apples, in almost any sized exhibit, is a special premium for 100-box lots, and another for 50-box lots, open to commercial organizations of fruit growers' unions in the Northwest. Cash amountint to $500 is offered in the first class and $275 in the sesond. A big stock show will be held 'at the Portland Union stock yards next March, the dates 18, 19 and 20. It will take $6,000 to pay the premiums. Considering there are no entry charges and no gate fees, this is a very liberal prize list. The event is the second annual Pacific Northwest Livestock Show and is strictly educational in character. J. J. Hill and R. S.'Lovett have again consented to act as vice-presidents and M. K. Parsons, of Salt Lake, is president. The show next year will be broader in its scope than heretofore, so as to include the breeding class es of cattle, sheep and hogs. Washington county will have a splendid display of poultry on exhibit at Forest Grove, Novem ber 22, 23, 24 and 25. Although it is to be held by the poultry association of that county, the show will be of much wider scope and will include prize fowls from an pans oi tins state as well as outside points. Experts have been secured to judge the fowls. Crater Lake may be included in a big national park, similar to ine Yellowstone or Mount Rainier Parks. A movement has been started to set aside the lands surrounding the lake in a nation al reserve and Secretary Fisher, of the Interior Department, is said to be favorable to the pro posal and will incorporate it in n's recommendations to the next session of Congress. Tuesday and Wednesday of "us week marked an important occasion for Sherman, Morrow, and Gilliam counties, for the Tn-County convention was held n those dates.

The stalf of the Normal paper, "The Norm," are making good headway toward the publication of the first number, and all are looking forward eagerly to this first issue as it probably will establish precedents that will follow for a long time. Dr. H. Chas. Dunsmore, of In dependence, has promised to give a talk in the assembly in the near future, describing his trip abroad, and all are lookinir for- o - - ward with pleasure to listening to him, as he is a close observer and able to draw conclusions as but few men can. The exact date cannot be announced at this time. Governor West has also promised President Ackerman that he will address the student body at some time in the near future. The Committee on Lecture Courses are endeavoring to ar range for a most excellent lecture course, and in all probability the people of Monmouth will be called on shortly to purchase tickets for such course, and it is hoped that they will respond liberally. It is also hoped that every man, woman and child in Monmouth will plan to hear Col. Ilofer on the evening of Nov. 10, He is most interested in the Normal School, and besides brings a message that no one can afford to miss. President Ackerman reported to the student body yesterday morning that the School Board convention held at Med ford last week was decidedly in favor of employing none but trained teachers, and he also reported that this feeling was growing rapidly on the part of school boards every-where, and the many faces of teachers who have been trained in the East would indicate that if the Oregon young people expect to have a fair chance in the teaching line they must be trained for their work. An incident out of the ordinary occurred Wednesday morning at chapel when the boys society presented Prof. Beaumont with a cap to replace the one which in some unaccountable manner disappeared Halloween. For further particulars all interested persons will report to Mr. Beau mont. Dr. J. R. N. Bell, of Corvallis, will speak at chapel Friday morning, Nov. 3. Dr. Bell needs no introduction to a Monmouth audience, and it is earnestly urged that all who can be pres ent to hear him at that time. You cannot afford to miss it. The Y. W. C. A., the organiza tion of which was begun a few weeks ago when the Board Secretary, Miss Fox of Seattle, was here, completed its organi zation this week and in the near future expects to make its in fluence felt in the social and moral life of the Normal. An excellent corps of officers have been selected consisting of Miss Scott, president; Miss Erickson, vice-president; Miss Lynn, secre tary; Miss Forry, treasurer. No. 10 CITY COUNCIL DOINGS The City council met on Thurs day evening of last week and passed two ordinances and a re solution. The first was an ordinance au thorizing the sale of the city bonds to Sutherlin and Co. of Kansis City, Mo., and the second was passed for the purpose of authorizing the City of Mon mouth to build a water system while the resolution was neces sary to authorize the city Record er to advertise for bids to con struct the desired water system. Street lighting was then dis cussed and an order was made authorizing the placing of anoth er street light. The light order ed in will be placed on Mon mouth Avenue at the Northeast corner of the state grounds. HALLOWEEN DOINGS Halloween has passed away leaving its blessing and - well, little troubles in its wake as us ual. Monmouth had rather a serene night, and but for the riff-raft' of our neighboring city would slill have been more placid. While there were ghostly look ing figures on our streets and numerous parties of merry mak ers the night passed away pleas antly and left but little of the us ual mischeif as a reminder that the destructive element had been out late. In the West end of the city a section of displaced sidewalk was left as a witness, and as usual the toilet at the Evangelical church was upset- this latter we pre sume is from force of habit as there could hardly be any plesure in meanness of that nature, or it must be a very low orderof man hood that could take pleasure in the act. A crowd of about a dozen came up from Independenc, well sup plied with booze, and started in on the rough-house order, but Marshal Cornwell soon got the bunch corralled and the several persons were conducted to the city limits, passed over the line and concluded to remain outside. The city marshal had affairs well in hand which, by the way, was the principal cause of a peace ful night. Rev. Alva Byers Dead Rev. Alva Byers of Independ ence died, Monday, October 30 aged about 79 years, and inter ment was made Wednesday in the K. P. cemetery South of Monmouth. Rev, Byers was a minister in the M. E. church having served in that capacity for upward of thirty years. Rev. Butler of the Babtist church conducted the funeral service. FOR SALE Seven shoats, weighing about 100 pounds each.
