The making of hollow cement block
is an industry that, has been started
within tht* last few years and leaped in
to popularity for u.l kinds of building
w ith »^rapidity' th at thoroughly estab
lishes their worth and the estimation in
which they are held by architects. In
fact you now hard I v see a residence put
up in the larger towns making any pre
tensions to picturesque architecture or
elegance hut what such blocks are used
in some way in its construction. They
give most any house an air of distinct
ion and solidity th at is hard to acquire
in any other way. And the various uses to
which they may la* put are almost end
less. They take the place of stone in
every way and at a much cheaper cost,
w hile practically filling all the require
ments of such. The nearest factory we
know of is at St. Johns, hut we hear one
is soon to he put in at Newberg.
Centrally located as is Dallas, and
having tributary t<» it an immense scope
of country in w hich there will la* much
building be done each year, the Itemizer
believes th at it would he a paying in
vestment for someone to put in a plant
of this kind here. The necessary capi
tal is not large, and we believe that the
trade th at could soon he worked up
would he sufficient to keep several men
constantly employed. The blocks sell
at the St. Johns factory at 50 cents
each, hut the freight adds a third to
this, eaused by their having to be trans
ferred from one road to another.
We believe there are cement workers
right here in Dallas capable of making
as _o* d ¡»lock as they can anywhere, ail
they need being the various mould
ers »or the different commercial sizes,
etc. Let’s have a factory of this kind.

B. B. Morton, of Bunin, Wyoming, is

paying the coast a visit with the inten
tion of locating and will establish him
self in the banking business.
Indej>endence is to In? eongratu ated
on having one of the best orchestras in
the state outside of Portland. It is
doubtful if there is another town of its
equal >n population tl^at can boast of
any kind of musical organization worth
mentioning, not only in the state, but
on the coast.
H. E. Conger, tormelv of this place,
hut now of Medford, was looking after
business m atters here the fore part of
this week. He report*! business rushing
in his part of the state and real estate
transfers plentiful. This is the result
of judicial publicity and Independence
can profit by the example set by her
neighbors.
T. J. Fryer, one of the largest local
livestock shippers of this section of the
county, has just returned from a visit
with his daughter at Castle Bock,
W ashington. He shipped a car of m ut
ton sheep to Portland last week and ac
companied them to their destination
and from there went on to Castle Hock.
Mr. Fryer reports m utton us being very
scarce and California buyers scouring

A very pretty home wedding took
place Wednesday evening at the resi
dence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. John Dickinson, when their
daughter. Gertrude Mabel, was united
in marriage to Hoy W. Bullard; the cer
emony being performed by Rev. .). A. P.
McGau. The bride was attired in a
handsome gown of white satin with
duchess lace, and carried a shower bo-
quet of white flowers. The ceremony
took place under green canopied with
white flowers, green and white being
the color scheme of the bridal parlors.
The wedding supper table and dining
room were beautiful in white and green.
Only relatives of the bride and bride
groom were present.
Mr. and Mrs. Peter K urre gave a din
ner Sunday, February 25, in honor of
their son Charles Kurre and wife, who
were recenly married and are hero visit
ing with relatives and friends. A gen
eral good tim e was had by all present,
Tut the feature of the evening was the
observance of the tim e honored custom
of the older member of the family danc
ing in the pig trough, when he was left
single after the youngest had taken up
the double burden of life. This fell to
the lot of George Kurre, who is the sur
viving single m em ber of the Kurre fam
ily. At first he dem urred, but the per-
susasive eloquence of the ladies finally
prevailed and he gracefully submitted
to the inevitable. It is said th at it was
not his fault, this being leap year and
he lias had no proposals, therefor the
young ladies should be blamed more
than he, for no doubt he would have ac
cepted had the proposal been made and
then he would have escaped the danc
ing. Those present were: Mr. and
Mrs. Reeves, Mr. and Mrs. Claud
Kurre, Mr. and Mrs. Willie K urre, Mr.
and Mrs. Bullock, Mrs. Quincy Reeves
anil little son, Mrs. Chetlet, George
Kurre, Maggie Evans, Lee Whitcomb,

COMFORTING WORDS
Many a Dallas Household Will Find
Them so.
To have the pains and aches of a bad
hack removed : to be entirely free from
annoying, dangerous urinary disorders
is enough to make any kidney sufferer
grateful. To tell how this great change
can be brought about will prove com
forting words to hundreds of Dallas
readers.
Mrs. Jos. W hitford, living in Inde
pendence, Ore.. says: “ Doan’s Kidney
Pills helped my husband a great deal
when he was suffering from kidney
complaint and backache. At times he
would be so stiff and lame, that he was
hardly able to move and if he attem pt
ed to do so. sharp pains would catch
him in the kidney regions. The kidney
secretions wen* disordered, so freque it in
action as to force him to arise many
times during tin* night. He procured a
box of Doan’s Kidney Pills, began their
use and noticed a change for the better
in a abort time. He is glad t" give
Doan's Kidney Pills his recommenda
tion.”

local testimony like the above. Call at
