Now that Hillsboro has three good
church buildings, two of which were
built at considerable expense by the
people last year, the matter of erecting a
good school building should be taken up
at once and agitated until we are in
)Kjsess!On of such building as the public
requirements demand . Do not let your
efforts in this direction be marked by
innocuous desuetude.'
The purchasers of the City Drug
Store have been busy this week going
over the stock. , They were well aware
that a business having been run for a
number of years must necessarily have
accumulated a quantity of unmarketable
goods. This they have dealt with in a
summary manner, by condemning every
thing not in first -class condition. This
morning a number Of boxes filled with
the contents of drawers, bottles, boxes,
and numerous unopened bottles, were
removed from the door and taken out
ride the town and destroyed. Fresh
good are being rapidly received to sup
ply the places of those sacrificed, and
the patrons of the store (which, by the
way, will in future Ik called the Hills
boro Pharmacy), may depend on every
thing being of a tirst-class order. Prices
will be as low as possible, commensurate
with cost of the medicine and skill of
management; and in return it is ex
pected that, as far as possible, a cash
business will he transacted. See the
forthcoming "ad." in our next issue.
The sheriff has collected up to date
about $12,000, leaving a balance of
nearly f "2000 before enough money is in
his hands to pay the county's state tax.
When it i considered that Wash
ington couriiy j,:ivs nearly 14,000 in
state taxes, the question of "where do
the taxes go." will in a measure be an
swered.
-Among the business probabilities
for Hillsboro is the early opening of
the tJrange Co-operative company's
warerooms, and thu establishment of a
bank in Hillsboro.
Spring is coming, and with it there
will be great business activity in the
county.
Washington county wants immi
grants, anil can provide comfortable
homes for ten thousand people. We
should capture our quota of the in
coming home-seekers.
Messrs. Thomas Tucker, of Beaver

Home, were in Hillsboro this week.
Ditto, road supervisors from every part
of tl e county.
County court is in session. Full
ie(ort i f proceedings will be given next
wee'e. AH the road supervisors are
making their reports.
J. Downs has moved his blacksmith
shop from next to Jobe's stable to his
property on Second street. His old shop
On Second street has been torn down, to
make room for the building just removed
to the site, and also for a small structure
to be used as a store, which will be occu
pied by L. L. Williams so soon as It is
completed .
The Youngs river pulp mill is again
closed down, this time on account of
the recent freshet which has discolored
the water so that the pulp is not fit for
making white paper. They expect to
get to work again next week .
Two distinct shock of earthquake,
accompanied by a loud, rumbling sound,
were felt at Snohomish City last week.
A number of persons residing in the
northern end of Seattle also claim to
have felt the shock.
The San Francisco coal famine con
tinues, and o:ik wood is worth $10 to $13

The Port lilakely mill, reported
burned on Saturday last, employed 1200
men in dift'evnt departments, and had a
capacity for cutting :(0,000 feet of lum
I'tr in ten hours.
The new tlranire hall will be
dedicated a week from next Tuesday.
It is now believed that winter sown
trolden 'hatT is seveiely injured in this
county. Fortunately, it was not
generally sown here.
A corporation with $100,000 capital
has been formed in Chicago to remove
the old I.ibby prison entire to that city,
and make a show of it, filling in the
surrounding country with panoramic

-Take a piece of paper, and on it put
in figures your age in years, dropping
months, weeks and days. Multiply it by
two; then add to the result obtained the
figures 3768; add eight and divide by
two. Subtract from the result obtained
the number of your years on earth, and
see if you do not obtain figures that you
will not be likely to forget soon.
It is to the interest of the coal
companies to cry famine, and they cry
it; but there is no more reason why they
should do so than there is for starting
the cry of a flour famine. The increase
in the price of coal i merely taking
advantage of the people's needs. The
mines are furnishing more coal than last
year, but the greedy monopolists want
more money, and that is all there is of
the high prices for coal. Ex.
The large sawmills at Port Blakely,
W.T., were totally destroyed by fire last
Friday morning. These mills had a
capacity of 200,000 feet of lumber
daily. Loss is estimated at $300,000.
No insurance. The mills will be re
built. Two hundred and thirty men are
thrown out of employment.
Bob Burdctte says God wasted mud

The Oregonian assumes an air of
superior wisdom in speaking of the error
made by the press in stating letters
would be put off by agents on trains
and boat at the next postoffice. If we
mistake not, that paper was amoDg the
first to grasp the item with avidity.
That journal says the silly item has been
going the rounds in patent insides, etc.
That may be so, but Tub Independent,
like that proud journal, publishes itself
"at home," and copied the item from
one of the Port Townsend papers, warn
ing the people that mail matter would
be left at the next postoflice Port Lud
low, we believe. Thi3 was doubtless
published at the instigation of one of
the mail clerks, who did not want to be
troubled with mail handed him en route.
So much for journalistic courtesy and
assumption of wisdom.
The $40,000 trotting stallion, Hap

The publishers of the Blaine (W.T.)
Journal still coutinue their offer of a
town lot to any man who will build and
operate a well equipped blacksmith
shop. Here is a chance for an enter
prising blacksmith looking for a loca
tion. Sheriff H. C. Murry, of Malheur
county, states that the stock in his
county Is in a terrlbla condition. The
recent cold weather was the most severe
ever known within the memory of the
oldest white inhabitant. One day the
thermometer went down to 56 lelow
zero. Stock has suffered terribly, and
the sheriff says that men who a month
ago counted their cattle by the hun
dreds, and even thousands, will have
scared a dollar in the world. One
California stock company during the
cold weather fed 5000 cattle, but to no
purpose, as they froze to death.
"My little son, three years of age.
was terribly afflicted with scrofula. His

The ice gorge w hich formed in the
Tualatin broke Geo. Breughton's boom
at the mouth and carried away the few
logs therein. The rise caused by the
rain broke a boom higher up, and his
loggers not knowing that his lower
boom was broken, pushed 80,000 feet of
logs into the river to float down. His
total loss is not less than 200,000 feet, or
from $1200 to $1500. However, he has
plenty of logs to keep busy. Oregon

Hev. B. S. McLaffertj, of the Bap

now of Tacoma, W.T., has brought suit
against that city for $2500 damages.
Mr. McLafferty fell down an embank

The committee on pensions have
reported favorably upon Congressman
Hermann's bill to increase the $8 pen
sion of James Moody, of Grant's Pass,
Oregon, to $.10 per month. This old
pensioner is now nearly 96 years of age.
He fought in the war of 1812, and was
one of those who defended Washington
against the British army. He also took
an active part in the Blackhawk war
and in the Indian wars of Oregon, and
is now so poor as to be dependent on
the charitable, so the committee shows.
Governor Semple, of Washington
territory, has appointed John M. Mur
phv to be territorial auditor. It is a
good appointment of a meritorious citi
zen. Mr. Murphy is owner and editor
of the Olympia Standard. He is honest
and square, and he has backbone and
ability. These are the best of qualifica
tions. Work on the new furnace of the
Oregon Iron and Steel company, at
Oswego, is progressing rapidly. There
are now 120 men at work, and it is
thought the fires will be lighted in the
furnace by the middle of June.

A San Francisco dispatch of last
week says there is such a run on the
nurseries of that state for prune trees,
that stocks hare been nearly exhausted.
W. n. Mills, of the Central Pacific, who
has an orchard in Nspa county, wrote a
nurseryman there recently to deliver 300
prune trees at bis ranch. Answer was
returned that the nursery had just sup
plied trees for a 500-acre prune orchard
in Southern California of 18,000 trees,
and was wholly out of supplies. Mills
then telegraphed to other places in the
state for a supply of trtes, but in each
case received a reply that he could not be
accommodated, owing to the fact that
there were no trees to be obtained. In
reply to a telegram sent to a Sacramento
nurseryman, he received a letter from
which the following extract is taken:
"We have no prune trees left of our own
growing, but have 6000 on the way from
France. We can spare part of this ship
ment if they arrive in good order."
J. Quinn Thornton, the venerable
and well-known lawyer pioneer, died at
his residence in Salem on Sunday night .
Mr. Thornton was born on March 24,

There is no truth in the report that
letters handed to mail agents on trains,
boats, etc., will be dropped at the next
postoffice instead of Wing hurried for
ward to their destination. This "ruling"
was first published in Puget Sound
papers, and then copied by papers
throughout Oregon. You need not fear
that your mail wilt be handed over at
the next postoffice. The mail clerks are
the government's general postoffices, and
must handle matter expeditiously.
Bichar K. Fox, the proprietor of

A telegram of the 7th says the in
surance companies lost $1,500,000 by
the fires in Montreal last year, which is
two or three times as much as received
for premiums. One company is already
closing up its business in that province,
and it is not unlikely that one or two
more will follow the example.

In order that there may be no mis
understanding, we again announce that
our special rates of $1.50 per annum
apply only to those who pay strictly in
advance. But as we have several hun
dred subesribers who are in arrears from
thirty days to three months, we have
concluded to extend these special rates
to them, provided they make payments
prior to March 1st. The regular rates
will be charged to all who remain in
arrears after that date. Our expenses of
publication are very heavy, and neces
sitate a large outlay of cash. One dollar
and fifty cents per annum is a lower rate
than justified by our present patronage.
and was only made in the hope of largely
increasing the circulation of The Inde
fendent . Unless there is a more general
response on the part of the public in
both payments and new subscriptions,
we shall W compelled to return to the
old rate of $2 per annum.

Illlabara mail Wervlc.
Does Hillslioro want her mail service
expedited? From her listless action in
the matter, it would seem she is con
tented with any kind of service that
may be thrust upon her. Several weeks
ago we stated that the McMinnville ex
press was supplying that town with
mail, which doubled the service, and for
which little or no expense would !
added, should Hillsboro desire the same
service. Further, that letters mailed in
this office after 5 o'clock in the evening,
destined for points eastward, would lie
here until 5 o'cIock in the evening of
the following day. Were mail delivered
to the McMinnville express train, tliese
letters would leave this office at 7:30
o'clock of morning, and could be far on
was Portland, orders could be filled and
the journey, east. Where the destination
returned on the same day, instead of as
now, when it takes two days to get
an order by mail filled at Port
land, only twenty-three miles away.
We published an assurance that this in
crease of mail could be had for a trifling
cost. The railroad company makes no
charge for carriage; the only expense to
our citizen would be about five dollars
per month for having the mail sacks
conveyed to and from the trains. If we
desire to reap the greatest business and
social benefits, we must seize upon all
legitimate methods tending to such
result. Our inaction in this matter is
inexcusable. Now Is the time to act;
do not defer this important matter
longer. Who will be the energetic man
to cover himself all over with glory, the
thanks of a large community, and send
his name thundering down the rapids of
history by securing the wherewithal to
bring about this cxjedited mail servicr.J
Let us secure the service at once.

The trial of Willie Maeriim last Sat
urday afternoon by the Gamma Sigma
society for "disorderly conduct while in

usual amount of interest that such
occasions do. In the end Macrum was
fonnd "Not guilty," and the sergeant
was ordered to "loose him and let him

fclate TrBiprrmrt Alliance Call.
The regular annual session of the
Oregon State Temperance Alliance will
!x? held in The Dalle. Oregon, February
15th and 16th, 1888, commencing at 10
o'clock a. m.,oii the 15th. Every church,
Sunday school, and temperance society
is entitled to one delegate, and every
organized county alliance to twice a
many delegates as there are members in
the legislative assembly from said county.
The people of The Dalles expect to
furnish entertainment for delegates, and
the usual reduction of fare will be
secured on the O. & C and O. R. & N.
lines of railroad. As The Dalles is con-
! veniently located for loth the eastern
and western parts of the state, it is hojed
that both sections as well as Southern
Oregon will be well represented. We
must preserve and make effective the
immense prohibition sentiment devel
ojed by our late campaign. A large and
enthusiastic meeting of the alliance is
necessary to accomplish this purpose.
Let us have it.

It will be olerved that some import
ant changes have Iwen made in the
rules for the admission of horses to the
trotting register. Colt can now be
registered only under the first, third,
fourth and sixth rules. Mares that
were heretofore classed as standard pro
ducers continue to le standard pro
ducers of females but not of males.
Kules first and fourth have been changed
by striking out 2:40 and substituting
2:33 in itsstead, and in the seventh and
eighth rules the word female has been
added, the effect of which will be the
exclusion of colts from standard registry,
which under the old rules were ad
mitted. A Crealdng Hinge
Is dry and turns hard, until oil is applied,
after which it moves easily. When the
joints, or hinges, of the body are stiffened
and inflamed by Rheumatism, they can
not be moved without causing the most
excruciating pains. Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
by Its action on the blood, relieves this
condition, and restores the joints to good
working order.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla has effected, in our
city, many most remarkable cures, in
cases which baffled the efforts of the
most experienced physicians. Were it

In previous numbers of this .journal it
was announced ere long that there would
be a call made for the purpose of organ
izing a state agricultural association.
During the week John tKborn, Esq., of
Marion County, vice-president of the
Farmer's National Agricultural congress,
visited our otlice, and after canvassing
the situation, he authorized us to say
that he had named Tuesday. March 13
next, as the day and Salem as the place
to meet for the purpose of organizing an
association similar to many of the organ
izations of other states. Mr. OsWrn
attended the Farmer's National congress
which was held in Chicago in November
last, and was by that congress apoinled
vice president for Oregon. In a word,
the object of the organization is to ad
vance the general interest of agriculture.
Nearly every state and territory of the
union now have associations of this kind.
That they are doing much good and will
do much more there can W no doubt.
This journal realizes the fact that there
must be a union of purose among the
producing classes, and it seem timely
that the farmers of Oregon should organ
ize themselves into a soc iety which will
have an influence at all times and under
all circumstances. We hope, therclore,
that March 13 will W a day and Salem a
place where every county in the state
will be represented, and that on that day
an organization will be perfected, and
that the watchward will be "Get
knowledge; in union there is strength."

The postoffice department has recently
made a new ruling iu regard to what

on packages or third-class matter, which
is of interest to all persons using the
mails. The new ruling derides that
upon the wrapper enclosing a package
of third class matter the sender may
write his own name and address, with
the word "from" a'tove and preceding
the same, and in the eae of books,
pamphlets, etc , may make simple marks
to designate a word or" passage of the
text, to which it is desired to call at.

or blank leaves of a book or any printed
matter a manuscript dedication or in
scription that does not paitake of the
nature of a personal correspondence.
The word "personal," or "to be called
for," or a return request and other
directions as to delivery or return, are
deemed part of the address and per
missible. The business or occupation of
the sender, the names of the contents of
the packages, and any printing not in
the nature of an actual and personal
corrcsjKuulence, may now be placed on
the outer face or surface of packages of
the third class without subjecting them
to additional postal charges.

The date of holding the Fair in this
county has finally been decided Uon.
The gates will be thrown open on Tues

The symptoms of Biliousness are un
happily but too well known. They differ
in different individuals to some extent.
A Bilious man is seldom a breakfast
cater. Too frequently, alas, he lias an
excellent appetite for liquids but none
for solids of a morning. His tongue will
.hardly bear inspection at any time; if it
is not white and furred, it is rough, at
all events.
The digestive sytem is wholly out of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may
W a symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss
of blood. There may be giddiness and
often headache and aciJity or flatulence
and tenderness in the pit of the stomach.
To correct all this if not effect a cure try

trifle and thousands attest its efficacy.
