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.
Several have made contributions and

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.

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.

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.

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.

Miss Dorothy Ruef, only daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. George Ruef, became
the bride of Joseph Claire Winefar in
a wedding which was quietly cele
brated on Thursday evening of last
week at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Elmer Hastiacs in Monmouth, former
schoolmates of the groom.
While the romance of these young
people had been in progress for some
time, the tieing of the nuptial knot
was not anticipated at this time, and
they sprung a surprise upon their
friends. Mr. Winegar is a son of J.
E. Winegar, owner of the Monmouth
hardware, and 'has been identified
with the business since the completion
of his normal course.
The bride has grown to woman
hood here. She was active in high

freely offered to the happy pair.

of friends of the bride here.
Mr. Whalen is connected with the
Honeymoon hardware in Portland,
and is deservedly popular among a
large circle of friends. The bride re
sided here for a number of years at
the home of her aunt, Mrs. M. C.
Williams while attending school, and
is a graduate of the high school and

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.
MERRILS WILL TEACH

Mr. and Mrs. Bayard T. Merrill
have been engaged to teach the IIop
