the sale was well patronized. The
profits*came to about $22.00.

He emphasized Judge Kelley’s
opinion relative to the outcome of
the hearing before Judge McCourt;
how it had not been appealed from
and therefore had the effect of a
supreme court decision.
Before the argument began Judg­
es McCourt and Brown withdrew
as they had previously officially act­
ed in regard to this litigation. It
is expected a decision will be arriv­
ed at sometime within two weeks.
In the meantime the contractor is
assembling material to begin paving
operations at the Benton county
line.
There were about thirty
spectators present [from Monmouth
and vicinity and;about half as many
from Independence.
If a straw vote could have been
taken among the spectators at the
hearing of the Independence road
case before the supreme court at
Salem Tuesday afternoon the high­
way commission would have won,
hands down.
Such has been the
interest and with the incentive of
curiosity to see how the wheels turn
in supreme court proceedings, there
was a large attendance from this
city and points south. As you
might say— Monmouth was there
with both feet. The feet were
needed for standing purposes, for
facilities for spectators in the court
chambers ere decidedly limited.
It was a joint debate on the topic:

MaiTelS 0f Trade
At Corvallis Show
The O. A. C. business show in
Corvallis Friday and Saturday at­
tracted a few visitors from this
section and all who went felt well
repaid for the effort made. As an
auxiliary to the show the exhibits
of various chambers of commerce
of tiie state attracted attention.
As a representative of the Civic and
Commercial clubs, Mis. F. O’Rourke
directed the placing of the Mon­
mouth display which was very
effectively arranged and attract­
ed much attention.
Corvallis
Gazette Times said "Monmouth has
a fine display of pictures of the
Normal’’. Unhappily the pictures
which were sent by mail, took thir­
ty hours to get to their destination
and were not in place when the
judges made their inspection round.
LaGrande loik first place with an
ingenious arrangement of pictures,
models and products and Indepen­
dence took second with a display of
boxed prunes, dehydrated logan­
berries, butter and baled hops.
Coquille's display was made up
entirely of beautiful myrtle wood
products from Oerding Brothers’
factory in that city.
The big interest in the exposit­
ion was in the office and bookkeep­
ing machinery which as an illustra­
tion of how modern business is con­
ducted was of absorbing interest.
In addition to all sorts of compu­
ting and bookkeeping devices, ad­
dressing
machines, dictographs,
there was a machine for opening-
fetters and another for sealing en-
velopea. The typewriter display
was large and there were two ex­
perts, a man and a woman who
gave exhibitions of how nearly the
human personality can become a
machine for they wrote about one
hundred forty words a minute on
the typewriter and at the same
time computed the sums of columns
of figures or carried on conversa­
tion with those around them.
There was shown a telegram re­
ceiving outfit that automatically op­
erated a typewriter and printed the
telegram as it was received. There
was a radio receiving set that, was
built like a phonograph and enter­
tained a roomful of persona with a
