In charge of The BLONDIN SISTERS. wane our Dow to our many friends and acquaintances and hope in 1IT our communications to the Wbst Side to have occasion to say very many pleasant things about you, and noth Ing which shall In anyway hurt your reelings. It is so much nicer to praise everyone, and if we can praise only your father and mother in place of you gentle reader, you no doubt will feel that we are very wise In our apprecia tion. Our object shall be not to surfeit you with fullsome flattery, but rather, while giving the daily happenings at school to encourage you In doing good work and proving an honor to this in stitution. We are not adepts at news paper editing and hence our efforts may be crude and lacking in point, but we promise to do our best and "an gels cannot do more." ; Miss Julia A. Barrett is our music teacher. She is a very' modest, home like girl, and makes friends wherever known. She has lota of rustle and has succeeded in even this short time in. transforming the large room on Ihe left of the principal stairway into a very creditable reception room having it nicely carpeted, lace curtains and lambrequins at the windows, and this added to her own piano, secretary and and other adornments makes it an at tractive apartment. Miss Barrett is a graduate of Wellsly Preparatory Music School of Philadelphia, Pa., and last year had charge of the music depart ment of McMinnville college.

THK ' 1NDEPEDBNCB EXHIBIT AT THE EXPOSITION BUILDING, Portland, Or., Sept. 29, 1890. Editor West Side: I arrived all O. K. secured a stand, got my exhibit in shape by Saturday noon, and have succeeded in meeting several parties who came here to see what the show was from the different parts of the country. To-day I met a party from Chicago who is here with the view of starting In the. nursery business. His attention was attracted by the fruit and in con versation with him found he did not know there was such a place as Inde pendence. I first asked him if he had looked over the valley to which he answered yes, but during our conver sation I found he had only come as far as McMinnville on, the west side and to Albany on the East. I went to work and drew a map of the valley locating the towns, railroads, river; etc., and after, showing him the advantages of locating at Independence andexplan ing to him the lay of the county; and the country tributary, he was forcibly Impressed and took my card aiid said he would come and see. This is only one instance of several which I could tell you if space would permit. The exhibit as a rule is good. There are many very fine displays, and I think anyone would enjoy a day's look. I was to see the stock show to-day and found the display good, not as much as I expected, but some very fine. There is one short horn I will mention age 4 years 3 months, weight 2850 pounds; another 3 years 6 months, weight 2150, There was also a fine herd that was new to me called the Red Polangus that attracted consider able attention. There was a very fine lot of Clydesdale, Norman and Cleve land bay horses, and I think anyone who is a lover of stock would be well repaid for a visit to the stock show alone. Our exhibit, although small and gotten up in a hurry, has already at tracted considerable attention and I have been highly complimented, and I think it will compare with the other Exhibits, and I hope to be able to interest enough people in our town and county to repay us for the trouble of getting up the display, I am at least using "every, opportunity I have of speaking a word for the town, and as the grapes I have in the exhibit have at tracted their full share- of admiration owing probable to the fact that they did not expect to see any.) If some of the the readers of the West Sidk who have grapes would donate a few pounds each for- you to send me to be given away I think it would advertise the county as well as anything we"could do. The Exposition building in Portland lighted by the Edison system of electric light; and for lighting the building they use 500 incandescent and 100 are lights. The electrio tower which stands in the center of the audi torum is 33 feet in height and is 6 feet in diameter at the base and 6 at the top, and 3000 incandescent lamps set in rows of different lights running spirally from bottom to the top, and when lit up is a beautiful sight, and those visit ing the Exposition would do well to attend the Exposition in the evening. There is on the highest point of the Exposition building a piece of statuary and in the statue they have an Incan descent lamp that throws alternately different shades of light, each shade lasting but a second, and as the light of that goes out its place Is immediately filled by another and so on. The system' is furnishing the Exposition with free light that will reoommend Itself to many from a dlstanoejwho visit the Exposition. OATHRKrNO HUCKLEBERRIES. Cbook County, Or , Sept, 12, 1890. "Dear Father: -Let me tell yon ot the great time we had going after huckle berries. Frank's folks went with us. We started to the Lara where we were told there were lots ot berries,but when we got to Squaw oreek we were told there wen none. Bo we thought we wonld have to come home without any, bat we met Wei and family and they had a big box full, They told ns where to go over on the Matoles and into the mountains, but they said the women and children could not go, as they had to go six miles with peek horses, and there never was but one white woman ever in there. But Frank's wife and I thought we could go where any other woman oonld, be she white or black, So we went on the next morning and got as tar as we oould go with the wagon, then came the peeking of horses, and a funny sight it was. We didu'tbave any saddles. We put oans in sacks and tied them together to pnt our grnb in, and to pack ont our berriee in. We bad six ooal oil cans fixed this way. every horse had two, exoept the one J rode, well, we got reaay, asm rode bis "Jack" horse and I rode the other with a girl astride behind me, then oame Frank's wife with one of her child. ren and the two oans across the horse in front, then Frank with the rest ot the cans and bis boy behind him. We looked like an Indian train. So we went single tile, trying to track Wee, to the berry patch. It was 430 p, m. and we had six miles to go, and bad to follow a tew horse tracks one and one-half miles nntil we struck an Indian trail. It took Wes, one week before this to find the trail. We met two wagon loads ot people that day who bad been trying to find the berry patch but bad to give itnp.but Sam thought he could find the trail and so he did, but ot all the rough roads this beats them all. The brush nearly pulled us off onr horses. It was up and down hills, over rooks and logs nntil it made our heads swim, but now it was getting dark and we could not follow the trail, so we camped; could find no grass for onr horses, so we bad. to tie them to a tree nntil morning when we tonnd plenty of feed and plenty ot berries, Sam and I picked ten gallons that day, next morn ing we filled our oans, and we had a time paoktng tbem out of the mountains. We got out all right. Here is the plaoe for huokleberris; there is enough to do the whole country . If we oould have bad our picture taken as we rode onr horses on this trip it would have been amusing. The above is an, extract from a letter written by a Polk county girl, and were she here she would be entitled to have her name recorded as a member of the Polk County Pioneer Association. X THE NEW WATER WORKS. Work has already commenced on the building of the water works and Mr. Gilmore states that within sixty days pure clear water will be coursing through the large mains of the system, and an abundant supply of water will be furnished both the city of Indepen dence for fire purposes, and the people for domestic consumption, The power house, pumps and wells of the new water works are located on the east side of Main street on the lot near Cooper & Williams hop house. The power house will be a one story frame building 22x50, and will contain two boilers, and in the basement, which will be a circular cellar of brick, well cemented to keep out water when the river rises, will be located two pumps, one a small one of 6000 gallons an hour and the other of 24,000 gallons an hour, Two wells will be sunk on the low ground near the hop yard and more If necessary. The suction pipe from the pumps will go to branch pipes in these wells. Mr. Gilmore in tends forcing direct into the mains and not having any tank believing that it will be both economy and Increased efficiency to do so. Steam will be kept up day and night, and at any time in case of a fire both pumps can be put on at once and water pumped through the mains fast enough to throw a powerful stream any length of time over the highest building in town. An eight inch main will be laid down the main street, and the present mains will be laid on streets further back. Judging from Mr. Gilmore's plans we are to have first-class water works at no dis tant date. THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. J, N, Hart is teaching at Dixie, T, J. Jackson will teach at Oakdale.

Important buHneM, AN AIPEAL FOR AID. Editob Wist Brna: I understand mat aa enort is being made to raise rands tor the purpose ot repainting the old M. E. ehuroh building ot tbis place, A subscription paper is now in circu lation among the people, but, I am in formed, there is very little interest mani fested in the matter. Now this is not as it should be. I am morally certain the good oitisens ot Independence do not properly understand the nature ot the case, for as a rale they are usually quite publio spirited in matters pertaining to the educational, moral and religious in terests of the oommanity. There are many reasons why thn ap peal for funds should meet with prompt and liberal "espouse. I will enumerate a few of the more salient reasons. 1st, ThS M. E. ehuroh building is the first religions edifice erected in Indepen dence. Indeed, it if the foster mother of all other ohnrohes in the town, There is scarcely a religions denomination in the community whioh has not received aid and comfort in the way of shelter under the hospitable roof of tbis old pioneer ohnrch. Its doors have always been thrown wide open to any and ail de nominations ot the Protestant faith, and and it now appeals for aid to a generous publio and to the religious denomi nations wbioh it has hitherto befrinded. 2d. Tbelay membership of the M. E. ohnrch have under all oiroomstanoes re sponded liberally (more liberal than tbeir individual means would warrant) to every appeal for pecuniary aid in behalf of other denominations of this vicinity. It has always been a generous giver to wards every Christian word and work. Sd. The ohnrch membership is at present comparatively small and it oan ill-afford to meet all of its obligations as such. The sum required to defray the expenses of repainting will be about (125 of which amount the ohurch member ship hope to raise one-third. An old and accepted maxim of religious aesthetics says, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." It is evident from her oleanliness and neat residences that the oitizens' of Independence believe in the old time adage, and I am sure they will respond to the appeal of the M, E. people with generous and willing hands. CiriziN, - THE EXHIBIT AT PORTLAND, Last week we annbunoed that the board of trade of this oity nad voted not to have an exhibit of our resources in Port land. That was true, bnt still we hare an exhibit there and it is attracting a great deal of attention. Some of our citizens advanced the money to see the exhibit and our people will not regret that it was done. While we do not have a large an exhibit yet we make a good showing and the people are stopping and making inquiries, Mr. J. Gibson will stay with the exhibit during the whole Exposition. If any persons have fruit wbiob tbey are willing to donate, it will be very acceptable. When you go to the Exposition yon will find the exhibit on the main floor next to the maohinery space. It is noUs complete as it will be next week. Mr, Gibson says tie has to answer a great many questions about Independence, and he is the right man in the right place He is deserving of praise for the favorable showing he gives our town.

MR.MEEKER'S EXPERIMENTS, Thirty-two Tons Produced to the Acre, at a Cost of Only $2.25 per Ton. Seattle Times. The circular recently issued by the agricultural department relating to the beet sugar industry, has awakened con. siderable interest in this city, for those who have given the growth of sugar beets in this section a trial, are in hopes that something may be done shortly toward cultivating the sugar beet here extensively and establishing factories for its refinement. The experiment of growing the beet in this vicinity has been quite extensive, but the results have been retained by the experi mentalists, the result being that the capacity of Washington soil for pro ducing the beet is practically unknown, Following is an extract from Secretary Busk's bulletin, telegraphed to this city: "It has been found in general that the coast valleys of California and pro bably large areas near the coast In Oregon and Washington, certain parts of the Dakotas and Nebraska, locali ties in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, parts of northern Illi nois, Indiana, Ohio and New York present favorable conditions for sugar beet culture, but in the localities thus broadly Intimated there are certain restricted areas most suitable to the sugar beet, and it is only these re stricted areas to which we must look for success. The fact that in one locality, for instance in Nebraska, good sugar beets can be produced would be no warrant whatever for assuming that all parts of that state were equally suitable for this purpose, and this re mark may be applied to every one of the states mentioned above." A gentleman well versed in the culti vation of the sugar beet and anxious to see factories for its reduction established on the Sound, addressed himself thus to a Timet reporter this morning when shown the above extract: "Well, I should say there were large areas of land near the coast of Oregon and Washington that present favorable conditions for sugar beet culture ex ceedingly favorable conditions, I am acquainted with the cultivation of the sugar beet, and verily I believe there is no portion of land upon which the sun shines that will produce better beets or more of them than your White river and Puyallup valleys. These two val leys are capable of producing beets enough to supply dozens of factories. Moreover, as the Green river bottom and other valleys are opened up, which is being very rapidly done, the area of splendid lands for beets will be con tinually added to. These valleys will exhibit just as much productivity as those first mentioned. I am surprised to read that the department of agri culture thinks "that it seems probable that Washington and Oregon offer good fields for this industry." To me there no probability about it It is a posi tive fact. The beet grown here is cer tainly of the highest saccarine strength, tnd good for sugar production. "What the Northwest wants is capl- to engage in the industry. "If a move oould be made to insure the establish ment of factories, the farmers would immediately begin the cultivation of beets, and soon the industry would assume great proportions." Some years ago it was contemplated by several persons, among them Hon. Ezra Meeker and T. M. Alovrd, to start the manufacture of beet sugar in the White river valley, but the move ceased before any tangible decisions bad been arrived at. The country was very new, and the promoters believed (he time immature for such an enter prise. Mr. Meeker, however, has con tinued to experiment on growing sugar beets, and to make chemical analysis of them. He has produced 32i tons to the acre on his Puyallup farm at $2.25 per ton. In a lengthy letter to the department of agriculture he refers to the quality of beet grown and the cost as follows: "So far our sugar beets have been not only rich, but also singularly pure. This is probably to be accounted for from our heavy rainfall and agreeable climate. The actual cost of raising per ton for a period of five years has been less than $2.50, and at the present year $2.25 per ton. We have grown them for cattle, and could utilize the pulp to great advantage in stall-feeding beef. "Our winters will admit of working sugar beets nearly the whole time, the weather seldom being cold enough to interfere with harvesting the beets, Locations can be had where transpor tation is cheap, where fuel Is cheap, where land is cheap, and where the market for sugar is good. It would seem to be difficult to find better con ditions for the successful Inauguration of this business than here exist, and we firmly rest in the conviction that sooner or later the capital will be found to de- velope these favorable conditions, and that the day is not far distant when we shall see numerous beet sugar factories producing not only enough for the im mediate come consumption, but also ror tne great interior countrv of this continent." The interest now awakened in the culture of sugar beets may result in the location 01 refineries iu tula section shortly. A VIGOROUS KICK. A Merchant's Wife the Bona of Contentioa. A Denunciation.

The city of Chicago raised $5,000,000 towards securing the World's Colum bian Fair, which is five dollars for every Inhabitant of that city, 'mat is just like the enterprise of Chicago. She never does anything by halves and as a consequence Chicago is not reaping half a benefit. She dispenses liberally and fares sumptuously every day. The great Columbian Fair will be visited by thousands of Oregonians. California is planning to spend$l,000,000 in getting up a creditable display. Supposing Oregon were to spend 75 cents for each Inhabitant which would be about $250, 000, would it be any more than will be required to make an exhibit to at all compare with other states? Not Ore gon must come to the front in this matter and the time to act is NOW. We must not put this matter off but start iu now. A fund of at least a quar ter of a million is none to much for the purpose. Polk county alone would need $25,000 to properly display her re sources on such an occasion. It is not an ordinary occasion. It should not be an ordinary exhibit. It should be such an exhibit as will please and in struct the Oregon visitor as well as the rest of the world. ; Messrs. F. H. and C. B. Durham have opened a neat meat market in the old stand. These gentlemen intend keeping on baud a full stock of beef, mutton, pork, sausage, etc.l They thor oughly understand their business and no doubt will do a good business. Mr. Geo. Shinn now has in his em ploy one of the finest sign painters ever in the city. That work on H. D. Wal ler's show window Is a sample, and those desiring gold work are invited to call. The Polk county bank at Monmouth has had their transon neatly letterd in gold. Mr. H. D, Waller, has a gold sign in his window as follows: "H. D. Wal ler Boot and Shoe Emporium." Henry has always kept a first class - stock of goods and his business has gradually increased from the day of his first opening.''' TIME TABLE.
