A gentleman by the name of Wind ham, formerly a resident of HaUey, Inn county, Oregon, having read In the Oregonian of the Independence colony, writes from Costa Rica and wants the colony to come there. He says he prefers cultivating cacao to that of cotlee, although it tukes a year nger to produce a crop. "It requires rich, vegetable soil, which can only be found near the count or livers, aud there Is always more ur leas malarial fever from the first clearing until the land Is open, 1 would advise you to have a doctor wilh the colony. With proper cure there Is very little danger, for it is a kind of chlll-and-fever which is very easily handled.

HUVli.K RACES, The People of Independence were ludlgnauL Never In the past history nf this town have the people felt so moi titled as last Saturday when it was learned but too late that the bicycle races partook very much of th nature of a fake Every advertised event heretofore ha been faithfully carried out lu ludepeud cnee and even our own people were completely taken In Haturday, Hy iioo n half a hundred wheelmen were here from Balem, McMliinvltlu Allmuy, Corvaiiisaud two expert C L.

The race waa run In 23 and won by II. J. Blugleton. When a demand was made lor the $'M gold medal It was learned that no medals were on hand, The blcyollala refused to contest for Imaginary mcdala. The iwople then clamored for it re funding of their money and after much delay Uie money was refunded at the gatea. The Wwjt Bidk disclaim any con nectlon whatever with Uie affialr; this pajwr eveu being compleUdy Ignored to the matter of the usual courtesies extened to the press. uue or the worst real urea ana one which the Independence baud should explain to ourclllsens, la that, although three medals were advertised, to coat f 120 negotiations were lu progress for three mcdala to wait only It alio w that even If the money could have beeu tataed to pay for the medals there waa atill deception to be practised. Mr. Willis Hill himself wrote the locals apK'arliig iu this paper and we understand from the manage of the Polk Co. Fair aaanclatluu that the use of their name In connection with the races waa entirely uuaulhorixed aa they bad nothing whatever to do with It. Our people should 'earn from thl that great damage may be done to a town' reputation by ailowlug any iwraon to deceive the public. As oue gentleman said ou that day, "flUOO will not pay for the damage doiie to our town." Durlug the raes here, every ad verlla- ed event was faithfully carried out although the mauuger were compelled to go down luto their pocket to pay the bills, of those from abroad. If any person la to loae lu au evetit of thla kind let It be our local people aud not our visitors. The city couucll aud Uie fair assocla' Hon should hereafter ace that applicant for the uae of Uie city park or fair grounds, are able to carry out their pro misee to the public before allowing them their uae. We diallke very much to have to criUciae thl affair, but condor compel us to say Uiat It waa grossly rulamanag eu. j&ven aiier uie nrai race waa run and Uie condlton of ail'ai waa known, the vlaltlug wheelmen agreed to take the gate receipt lu payment for medals and run the races, but the managers re fused. If that had beeu done uo doubt our cltlxeus would have been wllllnii to have assisted sufficiently to pay the ex peusee outside of the medals. There were vUtors here from neigh boring towu who went to ooualdorable expense in time and money and were disappouted In neither seeing or being able to take part In the races. Among those we noted on our streets lu a hurried Investigation were; From McMlnnvllle, C. E. Branson, on an Imrerial wheel; J.Todd, on Imperial; A. Uuruh, Imperial; O. U. Hlbba, Imperial; M. D. L.

Albany waa represented by C. A. Hears, on a Rambler; Tom Over man, Rambler and E. E. Goff, Bterllnir D. Jones, of Monmouth, rode a Cleveland. There were many other names we did not learn. Aside from the management which gives our town such a bad name the meeting was quite an event. We speak for the people of Independence when we say no oue deplores the result more than the cltlrene here. Last fall I was taken with a kind of summer complaint, accompanied with wonderful dlarrbooa. Soon after my Ife's sister, who lives with us, was taken the same way. We used almost everything without benefit. Then I said, let us try Chamberlain's Coho, Colera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which we did, and that cured us right away. tin uk much of It, as It did for uie what it was recommended to do.

Senator. . Portland, July 23, 1804. The committee of 100 Is after the scalp of the school board. Recently the board announced the appointment of teachers for the coming year, Involv ing a number of changes. Prof. Young, principal of the high school, was drop ped, and Professor Rlgler, one of the defeated candidates fur republican nomination for stale superintendent of public instruction, succeeded him. Professor Crawford was also dropped, and Professors Rossiter and Adams, to whom objections hud been made, were retained, A bowl immediately went up from the friends of the deposed pedagogues, which was takeu up by the Oregonian aud the committee of 100. The charge was laid at the door of the "mi ool ring" and the "school board monopoly," as the proteataiili deslgutite the American Book Co, Last spring th.a committee of 1Q0 and the Qrtyonhm had a Candidate for school trunk', and he was U aten ty 8IKKI votes, hence the Intense prejudice In thisHi quarters iiitsinst the present Isiard. They claim they weie defeated by the "school ring," which would seam to make the ring to consist of two thirds the taxpayers of Portland. The love of the solution of Investigation swowod prejudgement of the case, Nevertheless, the report of this special commutes may serve to show whether the charge against the bourd and the book, company have any evidence to rest usni, or are only the product of Jealousy, pprcjudlce and self-interest. The school ring Is aswrted to exist all over the state, and the ell'ort to defeat Irwin, In the Interest of Ib id, Is cited us proof, Oregon's schools, including thoae of Multnomah county, are ad mitted to be very suiwrlor. Evidently the "school ring," If It docs exist, has not Injured them. The present situa tion, however, Is very prejudlcal to discipline and should be terminated H.edlly. Although the legislature will not meet for six months there Is consider able speculation as to (he successor of Beuator Dolph. The large republican majority assures the election of the man nominated at the republican cau cus, eveu If a few should Ml. Dolnit a generally admli ted to have made superior senator and to have given Oregon high prestige lu the senate, There la a strong scutiuient In favor of his return, hut he Is bitterly opposed by the fix silver men, lscaue of bis gold-staudurd record. Herrman has beeu more or leas of a candidate for two year. He la acceplll.Ie to the all ver men, but the prevailing opinion la that lie Is honor-bound to remain In the douce, having sought re-election, es pecially as he will probably aucwed to thechulrnianshlpof rivers and harbor committee aud have added opnortunl ties for useful nous. I). P. Thompson, who has made his lecture on Turkey a mean or going about the state, would oe acceptable to the silver men, as he Is a prominent advocate of freo coinage, but hla iiersoual characteristics do not win him mauy admirers or ardent sup porter. Beuator Corbett is credited with au ambition to end his days as United Btates senator, but he is equally objectionable with Dolph to the silver men aud his fecb.e health la agiduat him.

Meals 25 ots THAT BALL tUMK. The McMlnnvllle Team Does Our Dors , Up to the Tune of 21 to 0. On last Butulay, at Taimage park, the McMlnnvllle and Independence teams crossed bats, which resulted In the defeat of the home team, In a score of 21 to 0. The game started out with two umpire, which was Just one too many, but In the second Inning oht of them was dropped, and the game proceeded. The visiting team took the lead In the first inning by making 8 tallies, and followed up with two more In the 2d, while the home team failed to score until the fifth Inning, when five men succeeded in crossing the home plate which made a tie. In the next four innings the Yamhlllera made 16 runa, while the Independence boys only succeeded In getting oue man around the diamond. The McMlnnvllle team consisted of ulne good, all-round ball-players, with Cooke Bros, for a battery, and with few exceptions played good ball. The Independence team consisted of four ball-player and five "counter feits," and we propose to give them the roasting, Individually and collec tively, which they so richly deserve. Collins, a catcher, played good, bard ball, as he always does. Nortbcutt pitched a fair game, striking out four teen men, auu baa he baa good sup port in the field, would probably have pitched a stronger game, Bid well, ou Arst, played very well, and was espec ially strong at the bat. Connaway, on second, was "hot stuff," and played a game "out of sight," making some neat pickups, and never failing to find the ball for a safe bit, when at the bat Ruff, on third, played very bad game, while Patton, as shortstop, was simply too rank to mention. Andy Tupper is all right for driving cows to the pound but I too stiff to make a good left field er; however, Andy succeeded iu pull lug down a hot liner lu good shape. Hill, in center, is entirely too slow. The "Alisaourlafl," well, he played a regular "Missouri" game and fumbled every ball that came hie way, aud missed several ulce flies. Takeu altogether, our boys played so rank that the grandstand coacbers re fused to longer "pull'' for them. But when it comes to maklug a "roar" at the umpire our boys are strictly In it. The Independence nine are all good boys, but Uiey "dou't flL" The game was witnessed by about 160 people, more or less, who paid their little 20 cents, expecting to see a game of ball. Cruise, the 1st baseman for McMlnn vllle, was "stepped on" by Bldwell, who was running to first, Cruise being on the base trylUK to pick up the" ball. Time was called for a few minutes, while a bucbet of water waa poured on injured mau, which sufficiently revived him to euable him to finish the game Bucklt'u's Arnica Salve.

About Twenty of Them Try to "Take" the Towa But Find It a Hard Job. LastBaturday night our town was visited by a gang of about twenty log gers. These men live on a flat boat aud float down the river, driving legs for Uie paper mills at Oregon City. They travel at the rate of about five miles a day, and make it a point to "take" all the towns along the river. They came In about 6 o'clock aud stroll ed around town till dark when they commenced to "gin up," which they succeeded In doiug in good shape by about 10:80 o'clock, and then the fun commeuced. The first place they uudertook to take was Layton Smith's saloon, on C street, near the hotel, but Smith soou convinced them that he was the pro prietor and proposed to run his own house. Nlgbtwatchman Myers, with the assistance of Wayno'WUliams, succeed ed in capturing two of the braves and landing them In the city Jail, which had a tendency to tame the remainder. Mr. Myers took a shot at one of the gang as he made tracks across the bridge leading to the sawmill. Ou Sunday the foreman of the gang gave bail for the appearance of the two men who werejugged the night before and they were released, to appear at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Independence Isn't taken everyday, especially by log drivers, who are "bad men" when there are no men around. Independence will probably not soon be bothered by the fellows agaiu, but Bhould they visit us they will be given a warm reception. MARRIED.
