WORK STARTS ON ROAD NORTH Dennis Construction Com pany to Hard Surface Mile and Quarter Work ha been started on the pre-1 juration of the base for the hard surfacing of about a mile and quarter of road from the end of the pavement north of Independence. A contract had been awarded to the Dennis Con struction company by the county court at $1.45 per yard for a three inch asphalt concrete surface. It is to be 16 feet wide. Just how far the. paving is to be extended depends to a certain extent upon property owners aolng the road.

M'ELMURRY SALE IS ATTENDED BY MANY There was an exceptionally large number in attendance at the Oren Mc Elmurry sale, south of town last Sat urady. Taken as a whole, however, the bidding was not keen, but most of the articles brought fair prices. A noticeable thing in connection with the sale was that spot cash was paid for every article sold. This is getting to be a characteristic of sales in this part of the valley. Credit is offered, but it is not often that it is accepted. Motoring here from Everett, Wash., and spending a few days at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will Block last week were Mrs. G. S. Jerkins, Mr and Mrs. Homestead, and Mr. Danhoff D On the Road of VJEILEU, wHV fli t THE S0RR0UJ? All ill CaA M NEWS EVENTS AT OREGON NORMAL Professor Edwin T. Reed of O. A. C. r poke at the chapel hour last Saturday morning. Mr. Reed used most of hi time in the reading of original poems on a variety or sub ject, , several dealing with various phases of a teacher's work in which Mr. Reed has had wide experience. The students thoroughly enjoyed this unique form of chapel talk. President Landers made a business trip to Salem last Thursday. Miss Schutte spent last weekend at Oregon City visiting friends. Mrs. Collins has reco'vered from her recent indisposition and is again able to meet her classes in arithme tic methods. A concert which promised great pleasure to all fortunate enough to hear it, will be given in the chapet Thursday, August 24, by Miss Mary Schultz of Salem. Miss Schultz needs no introduction to the people of the Willamette valley where she has long been known for her superior work with the violin. She has spent most of her time during recent years in New York where she studied under the well-known master of the violin, Alexander Bloch. Thither she plans to return in September so that the normal is particularly fortunate in securing her for a concert at this time. The date is August 24, at 8:15. One of the very best motion pic tures to be secured this year at the normal will be shown in the chapel Friday evening of this week, Aug. 18. This pisture, made from Dumas' "Three Musketeers", has been every where hailed as a notable feature in picture making. The plot 'of the story affords sufficient opportunity for action so it is sure to provide an entertaining evening. A case selected from the dramatic art class presented "Where but In America" in the chapel last Wednes day evening. The parts were all well taken and showed good work on the part of the case and co-workers. The students greatly enjoyed the chapel hour last Friday morning when Mrs. Mabel Grounds gave several piano numbers. Mrs. Grounds is well known in Monmouth where many have enjoyed her playing, but this was their first opportunity to hear her play since she went to New York to study two years ago.

IB Good Intentions DALLAS CARRIES AWAY THE DIAMOND HONORS With one of the biggest crowds of "fans" in attendance fov a long time Dallas carried away the bacon in a rather exciting contest on the local ground last Sunday afternoon, the score being 14 to 6. Pete Stoltenbcrg was on the mound for the first two innings, and he was supported by Verd Scbrunk. Hooper and Bozell, a Salem battery finished the game. Dr. L. E. Barrick of Salem officiated at short, Charles Calbreath at first; Fisher at second; Loy at third; Black, otoltenberg, Hooper, Schrunk and Bozell rounded out the field. Dallas team work was superior to that of the locak and this gave them an advantage which could not be over come by repeated brilliant plays by vhi" boys. Manager Don Earton expects to play a number of games here dui'ig September if weather conditions per mit. He is negotiating with Grande Ronde for a game for Sunday, but may not be able to land it until the Sunday following. HOOKER WILL BE AT WIGRICH FOR HOP SEASON T. B. Hooker, chief deputy in the sheriff'3 office at Dallas, will be stationed at the Wigrich ranch during the hop season for, the purpose of seeing that the peace and harmony of the camp is not disturbed. For the past several seasons Mr. Hooker has been officiating in this capacity at the Wigrich. It is a change for him and an agreeable one in that he has always been able to handle the situa tion with the utmost satisfaction to the management of the ranch, and at the same time he becomes exceedingly popular with the rank and file of the large number of persons employed there. Mr. Hooker will go to the ranch on Saturday of this week and will remain for about four weeks. The ranch recompenses him for the service. SMALL HAS ENDORSEMENT FOR POULTRY DIRECTOR 'W. H.

MUSIC, DANCING FOR CARAVAN Extensive Preparations Be ing Made for Power , Exposition Independence has made extensive preparations for the entertainment of those who will come here next Tues day, August 22nd, to witness the Ford power exposition. In addition to the highly attractive features which wiil be offered by the caravan folks, there are to be concerts by the Cherrian band of Salem during the day, a piano recital at the Isis theatre, and a bis v street dance during the evening. These are free offerings of entertain ment and made possible by the generosity- of Independence business men cooperating withC . A. Elliott, Ford'i Polk county representative. In addition, there will be a parade of the caravan units, in which all are, invited to join with prizes for various requirements. In the early part of the evening there will be a radio concert, this equipment being part of the caravan, and during the afternoon there will be demonstrations of various farm oper ations plowing, discing, stump pull ing, etc., at places in the immediate vicinity of Independence. The caravan will make its head quarters on the grround in the rear of the Isis theatre, entrance being made west from Main on C street to the gravel plant. In order to make the day as at tractive as possible for all visitors, Independence merchants are not only cooperating in providing entertain- ment but are offering special price inducements. Mayor Walker desires it to be un derstood that the city park is an ex cellent place for lunching, with wood, water and stoves provided. The caravan consists of 26 units, each under its own power, and carry ing or hauling various pieces of ' equipment to the number of about one hundred, making it distinctly a pretentious affair. The cost of single day's program is said to exceed $500, and bearing in mind the fact that the caravan is engaged upon a statewide tour embracing 4000 miles, one will readily see that it is indeed a big enterprise. About 35 men ac company the outfit, including a num ber of experts in various phases of the automotive industry. 'The cara van is equipped with a Delco lighting system from which illumination for the evenng shows is secured. There is also a pumping system, a motion picture machine and a powerful radio receiving and broadcasting set. Owing to static conditions, some dif ficulty with the radio was experienced in earlier days of the tour, but of lat some excellent concerts have beeB rendered. Opening at Ashland, fair crowds attended, considering that the cara van followed so closely upon a two days fourth of July celebration. At Medford and Grants Pass there were exceptional crowds, also at Roseburg, while Oakland, one of the smallest towns' on the highway, turned out more than 1500 spectators on each of two days. Eugene turned out good crowds also, but the greatest of all thus far was at Cottage Grove, whero the caravan divided honors with the grocers and butchers" picnic, the crowd being well in excess of 5000. The caravan is more than a mere power farming exhibition. It includes the demonstration of a great deal of contracting equipment, notably roac" building machinery, a tractor hois' a complete line of trucks with spet ial bodies, a number of trailers for special purposes, various types of wheels and several truck specialities, all these being in addition to a very extensive showing of farm imple ments for every purpose, together with certain household appliances, the radio, the movie machine and other attractions.
