Harold Haley in Accident
Although an automobile, driven by
Harold Haley, 294 North Commercial
street, turned completely over four
times after it had catapulted over an
embankment on the Dallas-Salem road
near Eola, Mr. Haley escaped without
an injury.
The car left the road
when it collided with a machine piloted
by George Lewis of the Beaver hotel,
Independence.
The Haley car was
damaged heavily.— Capital Journal.

The stock o f the Pember ft Snell
company was sold by Judge Cannon
o f the federal bankruptcy court in
Portland
Thursday, to the Miller
Mercantile company and was taken
over by representatives o f the com­
pany the next day. A peculiarity ol
this stock was that it carried with it
a lease o f the rooms in the Odd
Fellows building to January 1st.
It is reported there was one other
bidder besides the Miller 6tore which
bid with an intention o f continuing
in business permanently. Other bid­
ders
would have «used
the lease
maintaining a sale o f this and othei
goods, and others were simply afte>
the stock.
There were something
like ten bidders for the stock.
The Miller
Mercantile company
has signed up a five year lease fo r the
room in the Odd Fellows building
which Pember & Snell occupied, it
being the west two thirds o f the lowei
floor. They are remodeling and re
arranging the fixtures and w ill put
in a cash carrier system and an

Monmouth second to none in the coun
ty. The Millers have been in Mon
mouth since 1916. They have stead­
ily built up a reputation for square
dealing and have a circle of custom­
ers that reaches in all directions from
Monmouth. W ith a circle o f eight
stores they are enabled to put into

is reflected in their self evident suc­

One of the Present
Day Wonders
Insect Found
rhreatensWalnuts
That eternal vigilance is the price
of success as a horticulturist is shown
by the letter printed below in response
to an inquiry by P. L. Fishback
Pearl noticed a blight on nuts grown
m different places in Monmouth and
>ent them in to the O. A. C. specialists
for examination.
The letter is from
C. E. Schuster, assistant Professor
of Pomology in the school and it is
evident that the discovery may prove
of big importance to local orchardists.
In connection with the above the
Herald is asked to call attention to
the prevalence o f noxious weeds in
various sections o f the city.
Seed
from these weeds are scattered ovei
adjoining property to the injury and
detriment o f property owners who
keep their own premises free from
that sort of thing.
In particular it
is urged there is a patch o f Canada
thistles which needs looking after.
The Canada thistle is one o f the worst
scourges known to agriculture.
It
spreads through the root as well as
from seed and when intrenched is al­
most impossible to eradicate.
“ The walnuts that you sent in uni
formly showed an infection o f the hac-
erial walnut blight so common among
the walnuts both in this state and in
California.
This is a bacterial dis
case fo r which we have no control ex­
cept to use the later developing va ­
rieties that will tom e out as late as
possible in the season and still de­
velop a crop that fall.
In California
they regularly have heavy infesta­
tions o f this disease, according to the
season, the same as we do in Oregon.
You will find that the bacterial
blight of walnuts develops much
more rapidly during the moist season
and fo r that reason we find consider­
able o f it developed this year owing
to the late rains we had in early
summer, so there is nothing that will
be of any use to use in combat* .ng
this disease on the trees that we have
at the present time.
California fl -st
began working in the control o f this
disease some twenty years ago and
they acknowledge at the present time
that they are no further along than
they were at the beginning, in the con­
trol o f the disease on the trees that
they have.
One nut, however, showed some­
thing unusual—that is that it was evi­
dently affected by the codling moth.
One nut showed that it had been eaten
on ar.d entered by a worm, evidently
the codling moth from its behavior,
and that it also left the nut.
This s
something very
unusual for
this
country and if by chance you should
find any more o f that material we
should be very glad to have you send
it in and call it to our notice as this
is something important in the wal­
nut industry in this state.
As you
undoubtedly know, the codling moth
has been bothering the walnuts in
California for some years and is also
•.•cry destructive in France.
Up to
the present time we have had no
trouble at all with that insect upon
our walnuts in this state, but have
been wondering and watching to see
whether it would develop.
I f such
is the case it will entail considerable
more expense in the raising of wal­
nuts than at the present time, and is
something to be considered very ser­
iously in the grow ing o f walnuts.”
Hold Over Prunes Moving
Continued activity in the market for
hold over prunes around Dallas is re­
ported, and while the movement is not
extensive it is steady and indicates
that practically all of the 1922 crop
will be moved before the new crop
comes in.
Four carloads o f holdovers
were shipped by the local Mason
Ehrman warehouse to their Portland
plant for processing Tuesday.
The
local lrbor shortage made it impossi­
ble to process the fruit here.
Pn king is now on in full blast in all
o f the orchards and the high quality
of the fruit picked last week is being
maintained.
Tests o f the dried fruit
show that the prunes are drying from
18 to 19 pounds to the bushel, but
th tie are indications that this figure
will run close to 20 pounds on the
riper fruit.

Home Building Association
| The
Monmouth Home Building
| Association is the name of a local
association of capitalists who have
I united to further home building in
' Monmoutli.
Articles of incorpora­
tion for $15,000 have been applied
for.
Those at present interested in
the company are P. H. Johnson, J. B.
Stump, Ira C. Powell and Jas. Gra­
ham.
The company plg/is to build
houses for people at their direction
to be paid for on the installment plan
or to build houses to rent until buyers
can be found.
They have several
applicants for houses and are apt to
start active work this fall.
HIGH~ s 7?HOOL
High school will open next Monday
morning at 9:00 o’clock. It is im­
portant that all enter the fiist day if
possible as those who enter late are
handicapped in their work and cannot
always get the courses they desire
after the classes art organized. Stu­
dents are urged to register this week
and thus avoid the rush o f the first
day when there is little time for con
sultation.
The boaid feels that a strong fac­
ulty has been obtained for the year's
work. Prin. L. L. Gooding begins his
third year with the local schools and
Miss Somers will begin her second.
The new teachers are Miss Edith
Clarke, who taker, the work of Miss
Chi istiansen in the English and Span­
ish classes, and Mr. Waldo Zeller who
will have charge of the history, civics
and boys athletics. Miss Clarke comes
from Linfield College and Mr. Zeller
comes from Willamette. Both come
very highly recommended. Mr. Zeller
will also act as coach for the athletic
teams o f the Normal School.
Dad Sickafoose will again be on the
job as janitor and has the building
and grounds in excellent condition for
the opening. Visitors to the building
nearly always remark upon the ex­
cellent care that has been taken o f the
building. Citizens may well be proud
of their High school and the building
in which it is maintained.
The Civic and Commercial clubs are
planning to give a joint reception and
get acquainted meeting in the high
school building soon after the opening
of the term.
X
Would Make Park
Out Of City Lot
The Civic club held s special meet­
ing in the High Sehool building Tues­
day afternoon and considered the
matter o f assisting in a general re­
ception which is to be given at the
High School building after the open­
ing ot school, with the object o f pro­
moting acquaintance between faculty
students and parents.
Mrs. Boothby
was appointed chairman over two
standing committees to take charge o f
the work and the club will work with
the Commercial rlub and school peo­
ple in bringing about the o b i»ri
sought.
The club also discussed the park
matter at some length.
Representa­
tives of the club have been conferring
with the city officials concerning the
city lots across from the post office
building and the council has expressed
a willingness to turn these lots o v»r
to the club for improvement purposes.
The council volunteers to guarantee
ontrol o f this property by ordinance
■o the club if it will undertake the im-
prov ement.
The plan which the club has in
mind, and which has attractive possi­
bilities, is to hold the property with
the idea that it may be useful in the
futuie for the erection of municipal
buildings.
In the meantime they
plan to improve it with trees, shrub­
bery, benches and perhaps a foun’ ain
and a rest room.
The club decided that if it under­
took this park it would have all it
cared to handle and will leave the
matter o f an auto park to the Com­
mercial club.
Not Enough Evidence
Clarence Irwin, arrested on the
charge o f selling moonshine at Inde­
pendence, was
acquitted
Tuesday
when tried before Justice Baker.
It
was a jury trial and the six men were
out but ten minutes when they return­
ed a verdict o f not gnilty.
The pros­
ecution went to trial confident o f a
conviction, but the evidence given by
one o f the witnesses was so contrary
o that expected that the acquittal was
no surprise.
