The Grove.
jle Grove has advanced rapidly
in wealth and population in the last
three years aud it has every prospect
of contiuued progress and prosperi
ty. Keal estate has bjen on a stand
for the last year but while there has
not been an active 'demand for fowu
property the prices have not fallen,
there is no tendency iu the piesent
growth of the town to centralization
of population in any one part. The
outskirts are spreading in all di
rections and the cheaper lots find
more Teddy sale. The ridge south
of the business portion of the place
is now dotted with many handsomo
residences and is becoming a desira
ble part for location. Sovesal fine
dwellings have been built in this
part of town this summer and last
year a half dozen handsomo dwell
ings were erected on the ridge. And
when the Railroad is controlled by
men of average business capacity the
i Grove will have a station aud the
t town will spread down over the high
lands of A. Hinman and A. T.
Wraith's faraas. The character of
the people and the appearance of the
Grove are very much like many New
England villages. The houses are
well painted and the streets are com
paratively clean. The people are
quite rural in their habits and in
stincts, a large part of the popula
tfcion'fceing or having been successful
farmers and are conseouentlv m-
- JL w
dustrious and independent. The
University has refined the formerly
crude thought of the peop'o and
moulded the character and . senti
ments of the youth that have grown
up around it.
Pacific University and Tualatin
.-VcnVJerav have advanced with xe
growth of the State aud have taken
n deep root in the hearts and hop s
of the people. With a'strong and far
seeing Faculty, a well balanced
curriculum, and a large endowment
fund,the future of this Institution is
bright with hope. In advance of
'thegeneral intelligence and culture of
the people itThas had many diffirmlties
to contend with but in tho passage
of centuries its high standard of
scholarshin and its past st rubles
will add new luster to Irs'name.
The location of the Grove is ad
mired by every one who has seen it.
Nestling'among the oaks a id ever-
greens on a gentle elevation, on tho
western edge of the "West Plain, its
steeples and cupolas shine in the
distance like castles erected by 'the
Frost King, while to the west cx
tteirds tho Const range in picturesqr
undulation, in the south stands Che
halem moutains the resort of stu
dents on pleasure excursions, with
the Tualatin river winding in many
a curve between, cast and north
spreads the irregular and narrow
'West Plain fringed by dark forests
of r and dotted with white farm
houses, then beyond rise the Port
land hills and the hills that shut us
off from the Columbia, while far
away and far above rises the Cas-
cade range serrated with mountain
peaks hoary with the accumulated
'frosts of centuries looking down on
the sunny and fertile Valley of the
Willamette.
One ArgumentC .X Spoiled
Republican.
for
Ever since the Republican ascend
ancy inCongress it has been a stand
ing argument with that party in ev
ery campaign that Democrats should
help elect the Republican candidate
'for Senator or Representative be
'cause he would be in sympathy with
(he Republican majority inCongress,
and therefore could elTect more for
tho interests of our people on this
Ceast than a Democrat who would
be an opponent in a hopeless minor
ity. This always seemed to us to be
a weak and dishonorable argument.
It assumed that Democrats should
ignore their political opinions and
defeat their cherished principles by
their own votes for the paltry con
sideration of dollars and cents. This
argument will profoably be reversed
in the next Congress and we expect
to hear Democrats trying to per
suade Republicans to help sendDem
ocratic Representatives and Sena
tors to Congress because the$ would
he in accord with the Democratic
majority in Congress. As it is quite
.certain from present indications that
in two years hence Congres will be
largely. Democratic, we expect to pee
l.epubl-eanalf they have been sin-
cere, voting for Democratic candi
dates fW Congress. Will you do it
gentlemen ?
Send in j-our name for the Ixpe-
pendent, larmeru :-n I ail
laboring
men and help us along. We
wish
as it
sub-
to enlarge -our peper as soon
will pay to do so and a larce
s;ripti?m! list is our only means
to
work the 'desired improvement. Let
each subscriber ask his neighbor to
subscribe and send us at least one
name each and wc will ht.ve a large
subscription list.
Duniway is glad that the fools are
not all dead yet and rejoices in her
position of Fool Killer. This is the
first and only time that wc have
known of both characters being
united in one person. Suicide, D.,

HOME MANUFACTURE
Ed. Independent: I notice an ar
ticle in your paper of Dec. 18th en
titled "Home Manufacture".!, which
the writer (or Egyptian as he names
himself,) heaves a plcintive fcigh
over the condition of things in gen
eral. He states that he is about to
venture on forbiden grounds but he
treads quite heavy for his first btep
forward he weighs the Grangers in
a balance and decider that they arc
honest, good &c. for which he has
our thanks. I3ro. C. don't die yet,
you will see better times before lang.
You have the blues now no doubt.
The Grangers are farmers. They
propose to attend to their own busi
iness, and if mechanics will unite
together as the farmers are doing to
protest themselves against specula
tors they will procure their material
aj less figures so they can furnish ar
ticles as cheap as they can furnish
articles as cheap as they can be had
anywhere and still make good wag
as. Graugeis ni;d everybody else
will buy where they can get articles
that they want the cheapest.
You say every penny taken from
the mechanics impoverish the far
mers." Who takes the pennies
from the mechanics ? Do the," -JV- '
trons," because they puicnase the j
same articles for "20 per cent, less
thereby retaining that amount at ;
" s .
home or those that sell von material '.
at 50 per cent, profit? Where are!
those mechanics traveling about !
sick and Bore ? What caused this ?
Was it because the farmers shipped
a few articles, or is it because times
arc dull and money rathdV scarce or
is it because times are dull and mon
ey scarce, or is it on account of low
prices for grain ? You ask, "What
are tho boys of the farm a going to
do," that is one thing the formers
are preparing to attend to. ana m a .
V '
few years you will sec that they will
J m
iarms reaar to ieea tne inecnanics.
Capitalists are the ones that go into
the manufacturing business and that
develop the mineral resources of the
country, call on thorn, and tho Chi
nese will chop the timber up that
is rotting. Don't fret about the boys
that are on the. farms, and if you
have a surplus about the towns and
cities send them to farming where
they can make an independent liv
