The Harriman - system was going to build up the country through which its lines passed, but it was going to do it in a general way. Mr. Mc Kinney ex plained that the company was not going to push any particular lo cality, which for obvious reasons it could not afford to do, 1 but he said if any town or section would take tho matter up fjr themselves the company would oder every facility for the distribution of such litera ture without one cent of cost to them. He thought Oregon a won derful state with unlimited possi bilities. At the conclusion of Mr. McKinney's address Dr. Huller, the chairman of the meet ills', called upon X. L.

He says that about three weeks ago the '"Peop!es Home Building and Kmoloyment and In vestment Association" filed articles of incorporation, with a capital stock of $10,000,000, half of which Wach., where Mr. Baldwin has sum is already secured. Hon. V. purchased the drug store of Dr. Frank Hall. Mr. Baldwin is a native of Buena Vista, where be has grown to man hood. He engaged in the drug business in ths locality about six years ago, and in connection with the store he has been postmaster of the local oflice. By his .honesty and fair dealing, his attention to business and his obliging manners he has won the good will of the en tire community and his going is a source of general regret. The stock of patent medicines has been sold to Mr. Daniel of the new store hero and Mr. Baldwin will ship the balance of his goods to his new store in W sshington.

InileiK-iidence Hand Gives .Saturday Kveuinjr Concert. DRAWS LARGE CROWD FROM COUNTRY. Public Spirited Citizens Hate Arranged For SlmilarConcert For the Next Six Week. The Independence band rendered on last Saturday evening an open air concert of considerable merit. The true excellence of the program can receive no higher testimony than that the band members were immediately besieged with numei 0U8 requests for similar concerts in the future. The boys had a number of new selections, which were rendered in a manner to receive the warmest commendations. D. Calbreath, president of the Water & Light Company, im mediately started a movement to raise funds to make the Satur day evening concert a feature for the summer, and with whomsoever be conversed they heartily ac quiesced in the movement. It is proposed to raise among our citi zens a weekly contribution of 25 cents an individual, and .this in their treasury with -which to buy instruments. Mr. Calbreath very generously donated 32-candie power lamps, and the boys will be gin their concert at 8 o'clock in the evening and give an entertainment lasting an hour and a quarter. An urgent request is extended to all to assist in the movement. A feature of Saturday evening was the large crowd in town, many from Monmouth and the country being noticed. All were highly pleased with the entertainment. Pedee. Hops Around special n-om Pedee. All ot the hop yards in this vicinity are in a highly satifactory condition being entirely clear of vermin and showing a remarkably vigorous growth.

The lateral branches are large, thrifty and filled to the end with opening buds a condition which assures a heavy yield should favor able weather continue during the . i emainder of the season. The favorable outlook for a heavy yield, with market conditions in- dicatina the stability of present values gives promise of handsome returns. Now Is The Appointed Time. The O. R. & N.
