T., and savs be taw plenty of ice and snow. lie says stock is looking well, considering the time of year. About ten inches of snow fell last winter ; there is no snow in the valloy now. Mr. Sewell will probably sell a great many tile in that country. That was not his mission there, but he is always alive to business and found be could do something and will probably ship a great many tile to that country. They will be used for irrigation purposes. (Joldendale he says Is as large a town as Hillsboro and looks promising. 'Hon. W. I). Hare came from Astoria yesterday and returned in the evening. Tom is still very low. but slowly recov ering. Mr. Hare has been constantly at the bedside of his son for three weeks. Mr. J. C. Weatherred has been ap pointed postmaster at Tacoraa, W. T. That office has a salary of $2300. We wish Mr. Weatherred success. Last year Washington county paid state taxes amounting to $3,333.62); this year her state taxes were $13,971.82, an increase of $3,638.13. The total taxes in the county last year were $40,100; this year, $49,514.0.2, an increase of $9,333. 02. Treasurer Waggener remitted to the state $3000 on the 9th. The balance was remitted to-day. Thus, Washington county is among the first counties in the state to make payment in full of state taxes. Washington county has money in her treasury now to pay all outstanding warrants. Read Treasurer Wairgener'a notice in this issue. The streets of Hillsboro should be supplied with more light. Several ad ditional lamps should be placed on Main, Second and Third streets. This subject will probably come before the council at its next meeting. Mr. ('. E. Kindt lms just received a letter from Senator Mitchell regarding stocking the Tualatin river with catfish. Mr. Mitchell say he will immediately lay the matter before the fish comnvs sioner at Washington.

Williams' house, 1,1,' miles east of Hillsboro. was burglarized last Sunday, during the absence ef the fam ily. About $17 were taken from a bu reau drawer.

Scholfield, with their families, just from Texas, have located at CJIenwood, this county, near Mr. W. M . Mannings home. Other immigrants will soon follow these gen tlemen from Texas. This is only the 1 eginning of a heavy immigration to this state, and more especially Washington county. 1. Pederson, of Glenwood, this county, suddenly disappeared about three months ago. and no werd has been receive! regarding his whereabouts. Any inforn a', ion of him will be thank fully le :eh e 1 by his former neighbors. Portland is to have a cold storage warehouse. Tl e room witl be furnished with "frigidity" by pipes from the ice machines adjoining, and will be so ar ranged that they can be kept at any desired temperature, according t the class of goods stored therein. Meats, fish, poultry, game, butter, cheese, eggs, in hhort everything liable to be damaged by hot weather, can here be stored in a temperature which will keep it fresh and sweet for any length of time. This will be a great benefit to dealers in the kind f good mentioned, and will no doubt prove a paying investment. Work on the building will be commenced about April 1st, so as to have it completed by the time hot weather sets in. Hon. W. I).

Guard Meade was assaulted without provoca tion, while his back was turned to the man. The convict, McClellan, was sen tenced from Polk county for assault ing a ly with a pitchfork and nearly killing him. Meade, recovering from the blow, with the assistance of the convicts who came to his aid, secured the man and had a physician summoned, who examin ed the man and pronounced him insane. The governor signed a requisition trans ferring him to the asylum. When asked why he struck Meade, said he did not know Meade: the man he struck was dragging a dead horse near hint and it "stunk awful," etc. The wound is just back of the right ear. Had it been an inch further forward, he would have been iustantly killed. The Portland Newt is getting a vigorous scoring from the public of Walla Walla for its continued assaults upon Prof. Rigler. The letters from "Mother," published in that paper, are said to be wholly untrue. This state ment is vouched lor by the directers and the patrons of the public schools in that town. Messrs. O'Neal and Moore, of Wash ington county, Oregon, are looking for a place to locate. Goldendale Sentinel. Miss Morse has organized a class in German, which meets at the school house three times a week, immediately after dismissal of school. It is well patron ized by the juvenile fraternity of Hills boro. Strangely enough. Miss Sarah J Hale, who was for many years the editor of Godey's Lady Book, and did a vast amount of literary work, is to-day best remembered by her verses : "Mary Had a Little Lamb." 1 It is claimed by some medical men that smoking weakens the eyesight. Maybe it does, but just see how it strengthens the breath. The Oregen" Sifting Publishing company, of Portland, has filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of state. Incorporators T. J. Fitzaim mons, A. T. Ambrose, and J. C. Cronin . Capital stock, $10,000. No other spring medicine has won for itself such universal confidence as Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It is the most powerful combination of vegetabte alteratives ever offered to the public. and is acknowledged by the medical profession to be the best blood purifier. Chas. Reiss gives in the American Jeweler the following useful receipt: Immerse steel or iron in a solution of carbonate of potash for a few minutes, and they will not rust for years, not eveu when exposed to damp atmosphere. The farmers of Jackson county will lesi me virtue or their soil in raising sugar beet this season. Josephine county brings forth immense beets of sugar variety Rogue River Courier.

Upon an accurate description, he suddenly brightened up and added: "Oh, dot vos no lady; dot vos my vife." One of our western exchanges says that a practical revivalist requested all in the congregation who paid their debts to rise. The rising was general. After they bad taken their seats, a rail was made for those who didn't pay their debts, and one solitary individual arose, who explained that he was the editor, and could not because the rest of the congregation were owing him their sub scriptions. Multnomah District Pomona Grange will meet at Milwaukie, Oregon, on Sat urday, February 18, 1888, at 10 o'clock. Installation of officers and other inter esting matters should insure a full attendance. The keys for the new postoffice at Tigardville were received by the post master, Chas. F. Tigard, last week. This is the office reported by the tele graph as "Ficardvillc," and which was corrected by us at the time. We should have a mail line at once reaching from Hillsbore to Portland via Laurel, Schells Ferry and Tigardville. Our laxity in such matters as this, serves to divorce the county seat town irom its outlying districts, and causes discontent among people, who fail to discern any common interest where there is no such thing as evtn communication by mail over feas ible routes. A sad accident occurred at Vincent & Spaulding's mill last Wednesday. Charles Scott, while working in the mill, was caught in the machinery and so terribly mangled that he only lived about fifteen minutes. He leaves a wife and four children in very poor circum stances, and they have the heartfelt sympathy of this entire community. His remains were buiied at Middleton Thursday, February 2d. Rev.

A fine supper will be served at the Tual atin hotel. The proprietors of the Hillsboro Pharmacy having consulted on the re quirements necessary to make their es tablishment of the best possible service to the public, Dr. Bailey went to Port land yesterday for this purpose. They are determined to buy only the products of the most reliable manufacturers of high repute, and that all new drugs and medicines approved by the crucial tests of experience will find a place beside them. Their aim will be to avoid order ing large invoices, but rather to send frequently so as to have their goods con tinually fresh. The Hillsboro new brick Grange hall will be dedicated next Tuesday. Mask and go to the Silver Cornet Band's grand ball, at the Opera hall, on the evening of Washington's birthday. - Real estate transactions are crowded out this week. PROCEED! SUB COl.ITI CO( RT. R.

"Why do you fill up your paper with such nonsense as this!" he said to the editor: "John Smith, of Pugville, is in town, calling on his many friends." Just then the office boy poked bis bead in the door and said: "Mr. Smith, of Pugville, wants fifty extra papers." "That's why," exclaimed the astute editor. Harper's Bazar. rOBEMT UKOVK NOTKS. (From oar Regular Correspondent ) Following is a list of exercises which were given at public rhetoricals last Friday: Book review. Clay Macnamee; recitation, "The Willamette bridfie," O. S. Kidder; oration, "Poland," Horace Stewart; recitation, "Dignity of labor," H.Walker; essay, "Slay Day," Emma Brown; essay, "Intelligence," Pem. Patton; recitation, "Gossip," Ottie Young; essay, "Oregon Weather," Dolly ninman; "Blaine's eulogy on Garfield," L. L. Bush ; oration. "John Howard," G. W. Nelson; essay, "Anne Boleyn," Miss M. Cauniff; essay, "Longfellow," Miss Soehren ; essay, "Beggars," E. Godfrey. The exercises were interspersed with music, a vocal duet, "In the Sweet Long Ago," by Day Smith and Laura Griger, with guitar accompaniment, being especially well received. James R. Marsh and Miss Nora Davis were married last Saturday, at the resi dence of the bride's parents, near Gaston. Rev. Mr. Fairchilds officiating. Mr. Marsh is a graduate of Pacific University, classical course, class of 1830. The political bee has begun its biennial hum in the Grove, and it is said that quite a number of our citizens have "got it." A Young Blen's Republican club was formed here last Saturday night with a very favorable membership. The club, however, has made one very serious : mistake in nledoinsr its members tojU room was entered and the trunk "support the republican candidates for the county offices," which is causing some of the best element in the party to stand aloof from the organization, and it is to le hoped such pledges will be left out, at least until the ticket is nominated. Such a pledge is the very essence of the spoils system, and is sure to be taken ad vantage of by some political tricksters in the nominating convention. Indeed, we fail to sec where the leat advantage can result from it; if the ticket is made up of the best timber, as it should be, it will le given the united siiort of the party ; if not, any one could honorably withdraw from its support by quitting the club, and doubtless many would do so. Midi tilings nave a miner strong odor of political jobU-ry also. Let the young men the new voters -give loth parties to understand that their candidates must be up to the standard in ability, and whose character will require no "whitewashing." The party whip will doubtless be used quite freely, since this is a senatorial year, but it should scare at one. The presiding elder of this circuit conducted services in the M. E. church last Sunday evening. B. II. Moore h:is quit s hool mid has accepted a position as "drummer" for Watters' nursery in The Dalles.

On Friday evening March 9th, the society will hold a public debate in the Congregational church on the question, ''Resolved thst Free Trade is preferable to High Tariff for tl.e U. S." Affirmative, J. U. Smith, W. H. II. Myers, Jr., and J. W. Lysons; negative, A. It. Snider, (J. W. Nelson and Ed. L. Naylor. The public are cordially invited. The members of the Forest Grove base ball club are preparing a drama, "The Little Brown Jug," which wiM be pre sented within a short time. La.-t week we neglected to mention a "surprise party" which was given the G. A. R. by the Relief corps. At the last meeting of the ost the women of the Relief corps surprised the niembeis of the post w ith a bounteous supper. It u said the surprise could not have leen more genuine. In the aliscnce of a regular provision for such matters by our county, the bridges around here, which were washed out by the recent raius, have been largely repaired by private funds. This is un satisfactory, however, and besides being wrong in principle, necessitates consider able delay in the repairs. Mr. Hudson, who has been employed as blacksmith in the Indian training school ever since its foundation here.will move his family back to the Grove shortly. He says the present location of the school at Chemewa is very unhealthy, and there is now so much prejudice against the place, on account of this among the Indian tribes, that new scholars are secured with great difficulty. The present superintendent, Mr. Hudson says, would favor a move to get the In stitution back to the Grove. Would it not be well for our citizens to agitate the question? The political pot has ttegun to boil in both political camps at the Grove. The republicans are especially active and are determined that the claims of Forest Grove shall le recognized in the nominat ing convention ; they say that this place has never had its quoto of the county offices, and they want at least a share this time. The trouble heretofore has been largely, we Miink, that the delegation from this place has been so divided It could not agree on anything itself. It has gone into the convention with two candidates for clerk, for example, which easily allowed Hillsboro to slip her candidate in. We have been informed that Hillsboro will not oppose the claims of the Grove, provided it can agree en what it wants. We do not know of the existence of any "ring" at Hillshoro, but still such will le talked of as long as she presses her own candidates forward for the most important of the county offices. We bear Henry Jackson's name men tioned here in connection with the county clerkship, and certainly the republicans could do no better than to put him on their ticket . He has been president of the town council for two years past, aud would command a large vote here E. C. Hughes is in the real estate, in surance and collecting business in the Grove. And is also spoken of in connec tion with the county clerkship. He pays special attention to collections, Mr. McDonald showed us a few days ago, plans and specifications of a residence which ae has drawn up for Dr. Bailey The design is very neat and will be a real ornament to Hillsboro. The contract price is expected to range from $3000 to $10,000. As we predicted, Forest Grove took the lead at the thicken show in Portland last week. Prof. J. M. Ganison retired with 16 first, 7 second and 7 third premiums on his fowls, and Geo. Sloan took 7 first and 2 second premiums. Joseph Davis, a young roan who at tended Tualatin academy last winter, died of consumption last Saturday. He went to California a few weeks ago in the hope of being restored to health. He was oil his way home, however, when be died on the train. His pareots live near Gaston and bit body was brought home for burial. Rev. H. S. Lyman, of "The Pacific Express," was in the Grove a few days this week. John Griffin, our postmaster, had something over $80 taken out of bis trunk a week ago last Sunday evening, joroken open sometime between a and t o'clock r. m. It was a most daring rob bery and was evidently done by Some one who understood the premises. The matter has been kept as quiet as possible, except among a few who were trying to ferret it out, but it is impossible to ac complish much when no one will assist in such matters. There has been a sys tem of petty thieving going on in the Grove for months past, and it would seem that it Is time something was done by the citizens generally. Mr. Griffin proposed to go aljout this iu a systematic manner, but could get no assistant e and so was compelled to drop it. Our business men seem to be a unit in favor of an evening mail if it can !e secured, but no one seems to care enough about it to set the ball rolling. Mrs. Frank Scaly, of Portland, was visitiog with Mrs. Macrum this week. Charley Hudson, of Gaston, was in the Crore a few days ago. I'OHXEMI N ITE.VIM. Fkbkl'aky 14.

Many letters are being received by Thk Independent regarding our soil. tMirnate and the possibility of securing desirable homes at reasonable cost. We have written many articles respecting the productiveness of our soil, enumerated the conditions upon which pleasant homes can be had at reasonable outlay; enlarged upon Washington's superior advantages for stock-breeding and dairy purposes, and challenged any state west nf the Itocky mountains to ynake as good showing from any county Vssesed by them as can !e made ty urs. Washington is strictly an ajjri f-ultura) county, and stock-breeding superiority comes as rmttirnlly to us as to the counties of famous Kentucky. We have taken figures from the Rose jburg Ilaindealcr repectinir the bealth- fulness or our c limate, whu h is compiled from the Census Report or 1880. It will be observed by this compilation that the highest rate of mortality in theststes, is in Massachusetts, it being 18.9 for every one thousand of population, and that Oregon is the lowest, lieing 10.0 forevtry one thousand. While among the terri tories, the District of Columbia is highest, being 33.6 and Idaho the lowest, being only 7 to the thousand.

Under the alcove captiou, the February number of "Our Dumb Animals," pub lished at Boston, says: Our readers will remem!cr that we petitioned the National Convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union to use their influence to have stricken out of Steele's Hygienic Physiology, which is Wing introduce into American school to teach temperance, all statements calcu lated to lead lxys to perform cruel experiments on living animals.
