Tooze, Jr., was in Independence Wednesday having received his discharge from the army. Because of his ability as an organizer and drill master he was not sent to Europe but was kept in America for train ing recruits at various colleges. As he traveled extensively over the East he felt the po litical pulse o f the people and declares it looks good from a Republican standpoint, but the greatest surprise to ‘him was the amount of sentiment he found iu the East favor ably to Senator Johnson o f California and ¡Senator Poin dexter of Washington for the Republican nomination for president. “ I f the W est will get behind either of these senators and go down the line for him,” he declares, “ there is a most excellent chance that the next prsident o f the United States will be from the Pacific cqast.” SU N DAY SCHOOL CLASS H AS PICNIC Last Friday the primary department o f the M. E. ¡Sun day School and a number o f guests enjoyed an old fashion ed picnic at the J. W. Kelly grove. The pleasure seek ers were well equipped with picnic paraphernalia and at the noon hour everything good was spread and devoured. All kinds of games, including “ drop the handkerchief” were led by J. \V. Kelly, Daddy Hedges, Auntie Ingram and a few others. It is reported that their speed at the games surpassed that o f the youngsters. W O R K OF P A V IN G M AIN STRET F IL L BEGUN Work was begun Monday on preparing the roafi bed of the Main street fill for paving. As4he present base is sub stantial it will not have to he torn up, but merely leveled. The paving is to be sixteen feet wide and extend from the bridge to the paving in North Independence. It is expected that the new paved road will be ready for traffic by Sept. 15. NOW W HO DO YOU SUPPOSE TH IS CAN BE? The daily newspapers, in announcing the federalation •of the Third regiment, Oregon infantry national guard, report that among the officers' disqualified “ because of age and other reasons” are Captain Charles L. Stidd and First Lieutenant Charles G. McLaughlin o f Co. K o f In dependence. This would indicate that the two ranking officers o f Co. K. will be relieved of service and two new officers elected flr appointed to take their places. It is a question at this time how the vacancies would be filled— whether by ap- pointment or by election by members of Co. K. Either *vay Second Lieutenant Ira D. Mix would be in line for promotion. Neither Captain Stidd nor Lieutenant Mc Laughlin have received word o f their disqualification. Under the new federal regulation, Co. I o f Portland, K >f Independence, L o f McMinnville and M of Salem will •oniprise the third battalion of the regiment and be under ■omniand o f M ajor Milton L. Meyers of Salem. Federal- zation means that captains and higher officers will receive p500, first lieutenants $240 and second lieutenants $200 yearly and privates $7.50 monthly. Colonel John L. May will be in command o f the regi ment. His election is being strongly protested by a con- .iderable number of world war veterans who served under dm in France.

P I While “ painting” the top of the Calbreath & Jones store yesterday afternoon, the tar pot sitting in the alley back of the store got too hot and boiled over, setting fire to the tar and a shed. It made lots of smoke and consid erable excitement for a few mirlutes until the tar was smothered out and the burning shed was drench ed with water. ' DAD’S FARM IS BURNING J. C.
