R. Heffley & Sou was a big success. In the first place, Cloyd Heffley spared no expense and time in get ting it well advertised. It took The Post one whole day to print the bills and other advertising matter. Then cloyd got busy with his hum mel’ and tuc.ks and visited every nook iu this section. To those who nilgai miss seeing the big bills, he mailed a card and finished the job with a newspaper advertisement Wednesday wasn’t a very pleas ant day for standing outdoors but people came from far and near and they came to buy. Stock, machin ery, everything, almost without ex ception, sold at at a good price. W'e .have not the amount of receipts at hand, but it was the largest sale * held in this section for years. Mr. Heffley and family will soon' move to Independence and will oc-! cupy the residence on West Mon mouth street, formerly owned by 13. F. Swope. Welcome to our city.

Now I don’t Know how the other communities m this part of the county are doing, hut x tun tell you how we, of Elk ins, get ou.’ loads repaired. The ouu.»i.y lurnishes the gravel and the community puts it on free gratis. This year during January we spread nine carloads on where it was needed. The result: Good loads to our town. I do not claim .his is the proper way to get our roads fixed, but just the same our roads are in fair shape. Other communities could do the same if they wished.

The several members of the soph omore class were hosts to the other classes and they certainly display ed much gruciousness as entertain ers. A pleasing program was ren dered and this was followed by the gnmut of fun froxp low jinx to high Jinks. Teachers and pupils engag ed ixx the stunts alike, producing no end of ..xerriment. The sophomores served a xleli- cious luncheon of fruit salads, whipped cream and cakes of their own making. The upperclassmen are hoping this event may be re peated.

OLD NORTH INDEPENDENCE IS LOOKING W ELL UP miCHELl-COBI CO. iUUOUICES FUGS The new mill of the Cobbs A Mitchell Lumbei- company, being erected at the western terminus of the Valley & Siletz railroad, will be ready for operation in about 60 days, according to an announce- ment today. The mill will have a capacity of 200,000 feet for an eight hour shift and will employ about 200 men. Electric power generated by steam turbines will be used throughout. The Cobbs & Mitchell company was recently organized with a cap ital of $1,000,000 and besides the new mill now under construction Inis taken over the property of the Siletz Lumber & Logging company. Officers of the new concern are: F. J. Cobbs, president; Charles T. Mitchell, first vice president; C. N. Huggins, second vice president, and A. C. Marsh, secretary. Cobbs and Mitchell are heavily in terested in lumber operations at Cadillac, Mich. Several years ago they purchased a large tract of tim ber in the Siletz basin at the sum mit of the Coast range in Polk and Lincoln counties. The Valley & Siletz railroad, extending 40 miles westward from Independence, taps the tract and according to ten tative plans of the company will eventually be pushed on down the western slope to tidewater. A new townsite has been laid out at the present terminue and a num ber of residences and business structures are being erected. The new town has not been named but officials of the company favor the name “Cadillac.”—Tuesday’s Port land Journal. This is welcome news to the peo ple of Independence. While no mention is made of building a mill xxt Independence, this article indi cates that the Valley & Siletz rail- x’oad will soon become an important factor in a commercial way and In dependence w ill profit greatly thereby. Should the road be ex tended to the Coast this city would become a very busy railroad center in addition to the benefits It would derive from being the eastern ter minus of the railroad which will be the carrier of a gigantic amount of lumber. In conjunction with the house famine in Independence and the fact that a number of new resi dence's will be built here soon, one notes that North Independence is picking up its ears. It must be admitted that the sec tion of the city across the bridge is better located and will eventually become the principal residential part of Independence.
