of the work of the grange during

Thomas Gentle, whose ready wit

home comers at holiday time, ex­
pressed his pleasure in the growth
and prosperity of the order Sena­
tor Patterson congratulated the
grange and the city upon the pos­
session of the new building and said
he did not know of a town in the
Willamette valley where civic team
work and unity were more in evi­
dence than in Monmouth. Wm.
Riddell Jr. speaking of wool pros­
pects said the poor years were ap­
parently behind us and wool grow­
ers were inclined to face the future
with more optimism. P. O. Pow
ell, for years master of the grange,
presided at the meeting and from
time to time indulged in reminiscent
comment on grange work in the
county and state.
The Three Links club held a New

Chas. Bacon Hodgkin, city editor
of the Dallas Observer, was a cal­
ler at the Herald office New Year’s
day.
Mr.
Hodgkin formerly
thought very favorably of Indepen­
dence und was a frequent visitor
there. But quite recently he has
conceived the opinion that there is
but one bright star in the constella­
tion of cities in the Willamette val­
ley and possibly he might enlarge
this comparison to include the
whole world, and this is Mon-
inopth. AV may expect to see him
quite frequently in our midst.

Has Monmouth reached the stage
where it should have a curfew law?
This is the question which the com­
mon council of the city is consider­
ing and such a suggestion was made
to it by J. W. Pember at a meeting
held New Year’s day. Mr. Pember
advocated that the curfew hour be
established at eight o’clock in the
evening and children under prescrib­
ed ages be compelled to remain at
home after that hour.
Mr. Pember also proposed that the
city engage a night watchman whose
duty it shall be to register at cer­
tain places at certain intervals dur­
ing the night. He volunteered[to
pay the salary of such officer and
the council promptly agreed to his
proposal.
On Tuesday evening of this week
Mayor Swope and the new council-
men, F, E. Murdock and W. R.
Graham were officially installed.
Retiring Mayor Wolverton addres­
sed the council with a summing up
of the record of the past four years
and Mayor Swope also spoke at some
length expressing his appreciation
of the responsibilities placed with
him and outlining some of the
things which it is hoped to accom­
plish.
At the suggestion of Mayor Swope
the council adopted a resolution o
thanks to the retiring officers for
faithful and efficient work.
F. E. Chambers was elected as
city treasurer, C, E, Stewart as
city marshal and F. R. Bowersox as
health officer.
The following standing committees
were appointed:
Sidewalks— Graham, Ebbert,
Stockholm
Finance and [Taxation—Murdock,
Ebbert, Graham
Public Grounds and Buildings—
Stockholm, Murdock, Gianam
Water Bonds- Mayor, Recorder,

Auditing— Ebbert, Stockholm,

Councilman Ebbert then called
the attention of the council to the
necessity of making definite plans
for the care of sewers, drainage,
water meters, sidewalks, curbs, city
hall, bus service, street lights,
building restrictions, curfew law,
auto camp.
