Good Furniture Is Our Pledge to You MONMOUTH HARDWARE J. E. Winegar, Proprietor Read your own Herald $2 ,00 per year The prune season promises to tread on the heels of the hop season. September starts out as if it had mixed its dates with August, This country can not reach the prosperity just ahead until there is an all around lowering of costs. If Dallas wants to change Its name the Independence Post sug nests tbut it reverse it. Chicago plans to teach its child ren with movies instead of books We foresee a great future for op ticians of that city. When a person has wronged you he hates you and the person who gets angry and indulges in loud talking is invariably in the wrong. The countries of Europe are so anxious to go partrers with Uncle sam that they are willing to take him into any sort of a It ague. As a highly interested spectator it the hearing in the West Side highway location matter in Fort land Tesday, it occurs to us that a few snip shots might interest the reader. It is the second day of the hearing. The defense that is, the side icpres.-nting the commission, is still presenting witnesses. Pros pective witnesses lor the plaintiffs, Dallas aid Independence, who have been waiting now on the second day for a chance to give their evidence are grouped about the room. Un cilled witnesses for the defense are also there. The judge, a clean cut, rather youngish looking man, whose feat ures remind you of a Methoditt minister, is in state behind the bar He has a soft, pleasant voice, takes close interest in all that transpires and occasionally takes a hand in th scrimmage which attorneys and wit nesses are engaged in. To the front of the bar is a broad table at which are seated an impos ing array of legal talent. Mr. Kaste, head attorney for the complaint, does not sit at the table at all. He lounees in one of the juror seats, with a cuspidor con veniently cloese. He keeps 'con stantly tonguing a quid of chewing as though seeking inspiration for the string of conundrums which he fires at the witness. His assistants, Messrs. Hayter and Smith, sit at the table keeping notes on large pads of yellow paper. At their right is Attorney Bow- erman, who as an attorney is spokesman for the commission. Ee is a rather moonfaced gentleman of benevolent cast of features with the physical frame of a giant. Near him is Mr. Devers, assistant attor ney general. Helwears glasses and has the concentrated expression of a man who spends a good share of his time searching through law books for precedents and author! ties. ' Two other attorneys representing the paving companies are with them. Back of them are the three high way commissioners, their secretary, engineers, paving men and others. Having been listening to hours of talk the spectators show signs of ennui. They lounge in various postures, all more !or less uncom fortable, occasionally awakening to animatioa when some one indulges it, however, for no matter how amiable opposing counsel may be to one another when the veil is lifted the real parties of the suit arc like the Jews and Samaritans, a little bifharJ to thaw out. Blue prints, with a back ground of maps, are everywhere. Kngin eer Clark, who has charge of the highway tetween McMinnvilie and Corvallisison the stand; he occupies it for something I'm three hours. Statistics are his suocialty. He quotes a string of figures relating to distances, quantities, gra Ws and osts that would fill a blue book. These are brouirht out hv a series questions propounded by the genial Mr. Bowerman. Mr. Kaste then does the cross ex amining etunt, which in this case i3 largely inthe construction of hypothetical questions. He would perhaps 8-y: "Now, Mr. Clark, if you were traveling the mirth and south road which road from Corval- lis would you follow to McMinnvilie" Mr. Clark grins cheerfully and says: "Why the straight road, of course." Mr. Kaste: "Now then (fiercely and rapidly) if the ,oad by way of Orr'R corners to Ualias to Perrydale was paved and the 'straight road" was not paved, which road would you travel'."' Mr. Clark: (smiling still more brosdly) "It would depend on cir cumstances. Whether or not I was a hurry, whether or not 1 was carrying a loal. As a general tiling, I should say I would tike the straight road." And so on. By way of Corvallis straight to Monmouth, to Mon mouth by way of Independence, to Dallas by way of Powell's corner, by wy of Orr's comer, by way of Rickreall, by way of Crowley, by way of Perrydale and by way of Ballston and the ttraight road to j McMinnvilie, the costs and dis tances were made the basis of questions. Reference was made to a map hanging in plain view, There are black Iir.es on it, indicating roads. The engineer says the lines are not accurate. Mr. Kaste is greatly surprised. Not accurate; why it is Commissioner Benson's own maif! taken from the wall of his office, Mr. Benson asks to be sworn. He says the black lines were not made by him. He has never consulted them as to highways. He values the map because it shows forest reserves. Mr. Bowerman asks that the map be not retained as evidence. Mr. Kaste insists it shall. He wants it as a map, he says. Mr. Bower man suggests that if Mr, Kaste wants a map to send to the supreme court he buy one of his own and not make Benson foot the exnense. The judge sees no harm in retain ing the map, Ex-Senator ' Day mounts the stand. He is short, rotund and in clined to be sluggish in actions and language. But occasionally he strikes fwifty. As a part of his evidence he cites damages which would ensue were the paving stop ped. He is or has been connected with thejpaving outfit working south from Amity. He has not made special effort to collect the items, he 6aid but there were a few he could think of. In accounts rang ing from $3,000 down to $300 he enumerated them. For damage to rocked surface, to grading, to equipment, for rent, interest, idle ness of outfit. When enough items were listed to make a stawrerinc: total, Kaste fuggested there was one item he had omitted. What was that? Insurance, This raised a laugh among the Ea'las Indepen dence people. It seems the part of the Amity section plant -burned recently without insurance, PSQl 11 ' Oundaes- MORLAN & SON Monmouth's lament and mm! rompMe Confectionery nd liouk store mm F.W.LEONARD I Boot and Shoe Maker with ninny yenrs experirnct; Repair work promptly and neatly done See me in Bouldcn building next door to Herald shop ?
