“ W E STE R N M AN FOR P R E S ID E N T ” SA Y S TOOZE
Captain W alter L. 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.

back of the store got too hot and boiled over, setting fire
