L.KTTKRS should b sddreeeed to A word to our business men: Enter prises ofall klud should b euTOnraged. For year this town has own but "laudlug" oo th WlHauwtte river. When the Attona made Independent it "head of navigation" it did not aeern of much Importance, but when hut vear that steamboat paid out nearly 84,000 to our ruervnauts, end Ammn for sunntlea the beneM wm felt. Tlien we had no warehouse, now we are to have, three. A through rate of freight has been made from Dallas (by (Mm) to Independence, thence to Port laud. It the people of Independence give the Alton a liberal support, they should, the boat will outiune to make ita headquarters here, If they falter lu their allegiance the result will be the boat will seek new patronage, and tempting ufftsrs are being made to get the boat away from us. If thU year Is passed successfully and the people of Independence stay by the boat we are auiborUed to announce that a yearly service for freight and passengers will be Inaugurated ueit year. CapU Oraham has explained the plan and It will be one of great advantage to us, In having a boat land here every other day the yearrouud. Denperate efloru are being made to direct trade from the Altoua and drive herofl this route. The rich corpora tions back of the other boats may even carry frieght for nothing in order to drive this neat and dainty boat off the river. Can our merchants afford to allow It? We have now a better service than we ever hud, and are promised a much better one In the future. The Wist Bma from time to time has published a great rnauy luteawtiug letters regarding Central America and particularly Guatemala. In all of thobe letters the country was 1 dlscribed fruitful, the climate delightful and money easily made, but still the country was not filling up as it should. Why? We irive the answer In this week's paper, in the rt lutlou of an incident lu Guatemala, where foreigners are im prisoned and maltreated. A country may have fine advantages naturally, but it must have a good government to make It a desirable place of residence. A few years ago these United States attracted millions of people to its shores, who were pleased with its natural advantages (which are here still) and its good government. But ' lately tbe tide has turned. La, week at the one port of New York, there were about twelve thousand arrivals from Europe and twenty-four thous and departures. Why? Because our present governing power Is an Inconi petentone. When we give our people . ii i a better government, men lureiguur will again come to our shores. When the Central American states show Justice to foreigners, then we as Arneri cans will find a way to get there. It would be of great advantage to Iht commercial interests of the Unite Htaiesif there were more American in Central America, because it would enlarge our trade and lucreas our markets. President John M. Bloss, of the Oregon Agricultural College, on paw ing though this city last week, rairl that he would be much pleased to assist in conducting a farmers' instituU in Independence if the farmers wished and would use their influence in help ing to making it a success. A vast amount of valuable knowledge Is to be gained by having such a meeting, and our farmers of this vicinity and Polk county should make arrangements foi such an institute to be held in tbb couuty. We learn from the HillHboro Independent that the farmers of that county found the institute held then sometime ago very useful to them and are agating the prospect of having another iu a short time. Our furmerr should make preparations for having such a meeting. The evidence as shown by the list o assessmens of the counties of Oregon, is that Polk is either paying too blgt an assessment on her lands, or el other counties are paying too little. According to the list we publish in tbh issue Polk county stands ninth in tin list of 32 counties in Oregon in reguard to wealth. When w take the poimla- tlon of 1SW) and divide the taxable property aa returned this year we stand second, Multnomah county with her city of Porttsnd etc., only be- lug ahead of her. When the cn of agricultural lands are divided Into the total assessment of lauds, Polk couuty stands third $10. 88 an acre) belug ex ceeded only by Multnomah (ltS.Be) and Yamhill 1 1.1S. Our people should ex amine this matter and If Polk Is pay ing more lhau her share of state taxes auk for a reduction. Independence people are bow realli- lug that they live In a favored part of the state, that they live lu a very fertile wvtion of country and that Uie.com merclal prosperity of tlis town Is attracting attention. This la very pleasant to eoutemplate. Now how ever Is a time when the energy of a few men can work wonders in our midst. We refer to soma systematle effort for directing th most desirable Immigration her. This is a subject that should be carefully considered and acted udou and now is th time to organise, A meeting of our business men might result in some plan ol action tending in the right direction. People are coming to Oregou, and we want them to come to Independence. 81 nee November 24, last, the day ou which the bids for the last bonds were opeued, the treasurer of the United States has paid out 125,500,000 in gold and it is going out at the rate of 1V 000,000 a week and, very suou another Issue ot bonds will be neccessary. It must be humllatlng to our democratic brethren to reallx that this nation is oorrowlng tuouey now to help pay running expenses, and yet that is what these bond Issues amount to. If the revenues of our government were 1100,000,000 a year more than the ex penses, eustead of less, you would see nu flurry over the gold leaving tne treasury. People do not cash their clieck on a bank when It has plenty of money, but only when It Is short of cash, like our government la now. The number of cases of accidental shooting Is becoming very numerous. The "Nlmrods'' of the country, who mistake men for deer, should exercise more care wheu they are buutlng. CORRESPONDENCE.

With tit arrival of th staamer Colou from Pauama and Central Amer ican ports yesterday, comes th story of another outrage, th victims of which art two American and a Belgian, Th story wm brought here by Eugene llaliu, a wtll known local newspaper man, who returned on the Cokiu from a bust nes trip lo th tropic. In ten eated lo tit story aa h first heard Mr. Hahu Investigated th matter and the result w best told lu his own words: "Tit greatest sensation which hat stirred up tht peopl of Uuatemala of late," said Mr. Habn," data back a far as August 25th. Tba oecumuo of which I waut to speak is of a startling nature, and la bow tuo subject of cor respondence between th Hut Depart meut at Washington and tht author ities of Guatemala. About two miles north of the city of Guatemala then la located a 11m kllu, owned by Robert Van ds Putte, a Belgian, H waa doing a lucrative business. William Usury ArgaU of I HI aula was his superintendent. H called hfc kiln La Pedrtdo. Argall : engaged two American tiegroaa, familiar with th w.M-k, named Robert Pardee and Henry Thomas, and they were supplying Hue euough fur all the Guatemalan who wanted It. KNVIOl'IOr 111 PHOMHKH1TY. "This prosperity aud apparent source of future wealth, according to the usual practice of the Guatemalan Government official, aroused the Jealousy of the Jeft Politico or chief magistrate, of tbe town, Kleajare Asturlat by name, aud the fact that be did not receive any dividend from the lime kiln excited his euvy. One day Henor Asturlas ordered that a crew men be at once dispatched to La Ped rtdo, and that a cabin be erected on tit grounds, whose constructor should claim the property as their own, By this means N expected to drive out the fnrelgtier aud acquire the property himself. But no sooner bad that cabin been erected than Argall called on his two colored men, and the three, under order from tbe owner, tore the shanty down and drov Um intmdera off the ground. This was la tbe morning, and later on, aoout S p. m., Cummandante Gob Kales, accompanied by six policemen, arrived on the scene and arrested Ar gall. They found him oo home-back but mad him dismount and walked him two miles to the city and through the principal streets n the prison, where be wa fcsjked up. "Argsll. when be realised his pred Icament, asked of a trusty to be allowed to see Betior Loprt, th cummandante of the penitentiary, with whom be bad a personal acquaiulalnoe, CLl'HltKD WHM.R A PRISON XB. Instead of complying with the request, the trusty eel ted a heavy flexlbl club, b swung it around bis bead and then let the lash fall oo the prisoner, bitting him s cross the back, Three time did be repeat this, aud then, bis victim having swooned, he desisted aud bad him thrown into mil. In tbe mean time Pardee and Thomas, the two negroes who worked for Argall, had also been arrested, and wheu Van de Putte, the owner of Kilo, arrived to remonstrate be was also thrown Into Jail. ' - ''vand Putte at once eooimunl cated with tbe Belgian Minister, and it was not long before the Minister suc ceeded in securing Mr. Van de Putte's liberty. "Mlulster Young, who represent tbe United States In Guatemala, wa no less active than the Belgian Mlulster to aid his Gouutryruen.

Argall also Bled an additional Individual petition resting the Datura of hi Injuries and how he received him. The Belgian Minister also presented a statement of the case of Van de Putte io his Government asking that r jme action be taken. In oouree of time, and Just belbre tbe Consul left Guatemala, reply was received by Minister Young from HcrtaryGrsham, In which th latter asked that President Barrios be at ono requested to tusks an explana tion, and that la all.
