Our correspondence has been crowded
out by advertising matter. We will try j
and make more room next week. I
It is said that the advertising columns i
ot a paper is the best barometer of local '
business conditions. Such being the case.
Independence is a hummer. Everybody!
is busy. Stores are full ot shoppers and :
everything seerns thriving. If you want!
to know whereto get the most for your !
money consult our advertising columns.
Our worthy county commissioners:
awarded the contract for printing the de
linquent tax sale to J. C. Ilayter. Such;
is the innocent little announcement that j
appears in the commissioners' court pro-j
ceedings. Now, while we have nothing;
against Bro. Ilayter, we would like to
have the commissioners give their reasons
for not advertising for bids to do the
county printing. This would be the busi
ness way and the only way to give satis
faction all around. Toe taxpayer would
to better pleased because the work would
be done cheaper, ye printer would be bet
ter satisfied because lie would not scent a
graft of any kind. Let ua bid on the
county printing, gentlemen, and save the
taxpayers some money.
The Monmouth .State Normal.
The State Normal School at Monmouth
opens its twenty-second year next Tues
dav. September 10th. President Ressler
j i i
has recently returned front an institute
trip including Clackamas, Wasco, Wheeler
and Gilliam counties. He reports a pleas
ant trip and the prospects for a large en
rollment of new students excellent. .The
good people of the state are awakening as
never before to the necessity of having
first-class school facilities in order to at
tract the new settlers who are pouring in
from other states whero they have been
accustomed to good schools. The de
mand on the Normal schools for trained
teachers to meet the higher ideal? is far
bevond the' supply. Several principals
are wanted right away at salaries of $00
to $100 per month, and a large number
of district schools paying 10 to $"0 per
month are asking for teachers. The pro
fession of teaching is looking up and now
offers splendid openings for wide awake
and ambitious young men and women.
The new and the old members of the
faculty will all be in Monmouth by the
last of the week. Several have been
studving this summer in Eastern univer
sities in order to give the school the bene
fit of the most recent methods in their de
partments. Physical Director Forbes and Captain
Evendon of last year's victorious basket
ball team, are already on the ground
planning with others for another success
ful season of athletics. A number of good
men for the various teams will be among
the new students and will add material
strength to the already promising list of
candidates in attendance last year.
The deep interest in education through
out the state will mean much for our ma
terial prosperity, and tlio State Normal in
common with (he other institutions of
Oregon is already feeling the impetus.
