THE WEST SIDE' this vicar- usincss E C PENTLAND, Publisher FRIDAY MARCH 21 I81K). Let no jealousy stop our pros perity. . The railroad from llillshoro to Astoria is to be completed by le waik 1S90, If men atul money can do it Let the good news go abroad, that tho West Side railroad is to Ih extended through from Corvullis to Junction City. Ir all the gravel for the Astoria and also the Corvallls railroad is taken out here at Independence, how many meu will it employ t Say there are three trains per day, will it not require two hundred men. Thi steel rails for the motor line harebcen ordeml. As mm as poa Bible the ties will be cut, and with in sixty days look out for an ex cursion over tho new railroad. The people of Independence only "talk1' nothing i being done there. Oh no! The energy displayed by the teachers in the State Agricultural College is to be commended. The Institutes already held have been of great value and farmers who have attended one institute are en thusiastic in helping get up the next one. There were some excel lent papers read here last week, and we only regret that we could not give our readers the papers in full but space would not permit. i ... If Independence was not on the Willamette river we would not have any gravel buak, and if we had no gravel bank we would not have from one hundred and fifty to two hundred men at work here, which will be the case in a few weeks. Two gravel trains will be put on, some say to gravel the As tori road and also the Corvallis extension. We do not "whoop up" our town like some papers but "we get there just the same.'' We gave last week a plaus ible reason for the mud slinging of tho (JtWrw, basing our assertions on reports as given us; but .Mr, Snyder denies the charge. Then we are to understand t hat it was "pure cussedness," for ho now has not even the excuse, that as La Fayette peppered to him he now wants to get "even" on Indepen dence. How some men will jump out of the frying pan into the fire, They get badly burned too. The republican party has a bill formulated which while it may not suit all the people, still Hhows that party to be true to its promises. Increase of duty on an article which needs protection means a reduction in the revenue, and a reduction of the duty on an article like sugar, means a reduction of the revenue, because sugar cannot be produced in Amer ca. For the same reason tea and coffee are on the free lists. The in crease on tin plate is to encourage the development of American mines. It might be as well for the government to offer a bounty on American tin, but as all exported tin, is rebated, the weight of the increase is scarcely felt. When you look at the future prospects of a town you generally ask, Xnt have you in view to eause the prosperity of which you spenkt In Independence the first enterprise which (tils us with pride is the new suw mill. It is one of which we may well feel proud. It Is now giving employment to about forty men in building, and when iu operation will give continued employment to quite a number of men. lint thin is not all. With iu thirty days active operations will commence on the motor line which will em ploy a largo force of men, and about the same time the Southern Pnoiflo will begin opcr uting gravel trains which will em ploy more men stilt. Hut this is uot nil. From the mt iiiforuia tion at hand now at least sixty wooden buildings and live bricks will he erected. The Independence National Hank will spend 112,000 in their bank building, which will bo erected where Mrs. Hurley now has her millinery store. The plans show an elegant structure, Hut this is uot all. This summer there will I built a 120.000 school house. This year will see a Ami class electric light plant ami Itetter water works. A (louring mill is to be erected so we are told. We also predict that the railroad to Mon mouth, if tho people show a desire for It, will Iki continued to Falls City. Whenever these enterprises start others follow and the proa pects here are for a lively summer. i j IWr growl! Pont be jealous of your neighbor. If in this town your property has doubled iu price in oue year are you not HutHied? We heaid a gentleman berating our public spirited citizens who are building the motor line railway to Moii'iiouth. ''It is nothing but scheme to make money." Well bless your soul! what did you think tt was! Do you tuink any sane man is going to invest from '.'.", 000 to 10,000 in land and then spend f-'0, 000 more in building railroad to that land and do it all for your profit? If land prices are too high all you have to do is sell yours at half what you know it is worth. If you hold your land at double hist years price, you hav no right to growl. Tho Wnst Si m. believes that every erson touch ing property in Independence thi year will realize handsomely, and w e, above all things, are triad to know that those who show their "faith by their works" will all get wealthy. Of course some who have never sown w ill reap also, but you can generally trust that those who are loo hoggish in holding real es tate will be the losers in the long run. It is better for a man to sell an acre of land now ut 100, which only cost fiO, because more people will become intereHted iu the town than to hold it for fciOOeven twelve mouths hence. Keep real estate moving at a small profit, and in stead of begrudging your neighbor the money he is making, invest and make some yourself. 8 1 . . - SPELLING REFORM. Whex Independence talked of a railroad to Monmouth all kiuds of fun was made of it, by the Dallas organ, and even more so when was talked of extending it to Falls City. It is now generally conceded that the road will be built to Mon mouth and more than likely will be extended to the Kails. Now Dallas proposes to build a railroad and it miirht be expected that we will pour cold water on the project. We are not that kind. The build ing of that road 24 miles will not come in conflict with the building of one from here of twelve miles. If Dallas can raise 2f0.000 to build a road it will show that an invest ment of half the money, to tap the same country and also the Big Luckiamuto will pay immensely. So that instead of being jealous of our neighbor we shall wish them the very greatest success. TAX ASSESSORS. The Portland World last week had an able editorial written upon the solution of our mixed assess ment laws. After reviewing the situation it goes on to show that if our assessor were better paid and had more experience the people would be better served. It then goes on to reccoinmend that our as sessor be appointed by the state. That not being dependent upon the vote of the taxpayers he would more carefully attend to his duties, At first this looked very plausible indeed and it seemed just the solu tion of one fpart of the problem. Difficulties however present them selves. Would not the appointees be more apt to be controlled undu ly than tho elected one! Could not frauds creep into our assessment then, even more than nowi ine man whom the people elect will be more apt to do their will, and "we the people" are to rule Oreogn, not thegovenor or his friends. Tho following petition is being circulated in every state in the Union: To the senate and house of representatives, in congress as sembled: Your petitioners, Would respectfully represent that our present American orthography, though much improved within the last huudred years, is cmnlier some, illogical, unhistorical and misleading; that millions of do hirs are wasted, each year, in writ ing and printing unnecessary let ters, while the progress of our children in their education is greatly retarded by the dilllculties in tho way of learning to swell, Your petitioners recognize the fact tha in the future, as in tho past, changes in our written language must be made by gradual steps, The modifications herein suggested have the endorsement ot the highest if like quartette, coquette, cigarette, etc. Thut apvll olifuret, roaet, epaulet, vwlot, gtuwrt, etc Fourth.
