Final Clean-up on Summer Stocks For the next two weeks we will take most anything for the balance of our Summer Goods in all lines. The Prices are so low that it is almost like naming your own price. Everything in Summer Goods goes. Men's Furnishings, Straw Hats, Ladies' Furnishings, - - Dress Goods Summer Underwear, Light Weight Union Suits SHOES ! ! Yes, we've still got a few pairs of Oxfords at the same old prices $1.85 and 98c THE Monmouth, T. M. FRENCH, Prop.

Hewitt was down from Portland Tuesday. He has been given the position of assistant ticket agent at Enterprise, Oregon, by the 0. R. & N. Co. and has gone there to assume his duties. The improvements in Mon mouth, since the Normal school question was settled, have amounted to considerably over one hundred thousand dollars, j according to estimate, and still the work keeps on.

It is one of the finest in the city. The Gail Hotel at Dallas has been sold by its former owner, J. B. Thompson, to Henry Serr, a traveling salesman. Willie Strong had the misfor tune to lose his balance while fishing one day the latter part of last week, while in the Alsea country, and fell from a log several feet into the rocks below with the result that he sustained a broken arm. A Herald reporter took a look 'n on the new house P. H. John son is having built. L. C. Fisk has charge of the work and showed our reporter through the building. The structure will have a living room, dining room, kitchen, study and bedroom and other conveniences on the lower floor and two bedrooms on the upper floor. There will be a sleeping porch on the southwest of the building and a porch on the north side with a sleeping porch overhead. Altogether it will be quite a residence struct ure. Before Christmas, we are told, the Southern Pacific will have its West side line electro tized and we shall be able to ride into Portland or Eugene on the electric line. The company is having poles strung along the track and the word is gone forth that there will be three construc tion trains put on the work the first of next month. Rumor says there will be many changes and that some places now oc cupied by the iron rails will be vacated while at others the lines will be extended but so far as we can learn the latter changes have not been made known.

There are six resident houses under process of construction at present and three others which have either been finished or are about completed. Want Belter Mail Facilities. The arrival of the morning mail from Portland is not alto gether satisfactory to the people of Monmouth, nor at Indepen-! dence, as at present arranged, j Letters and packages must be ' mailed at Portland by 6 o'clock j A. M. to get out on the morning! mail, hence, we get nothing that! has not been mailed the evening before, except the morning pa per, which doubtless has been in the office by 4 or 5 o'clock A. M. Now if the mail was sent out on the electric road by way of Salem, it could be delivered here a couple of hours earlier and this would give merchants and others until about 4 P. M. to answer their mail, and would also give the carriers an opportunity to have their routes covered two hours earlier giving them ample time to get in before night, es pecially in the Winter season. The proposition would be a good one to work out through the commercial clubs. Let us get a move; we get nothing with- lout asking for it. AUCTIONEER J. S. SMITH, Alrlle, Oregon.
