Many hunters have had excellent sport and good luck in bringing home the season's limit, especially those who were persistent in their quest for game. According to the records of the state game warden, the convic tions for illegally shooting pheasants have been far more numerous than for infringement of the deer laws. This is natural, as there are probably 25 men who go out after pheasant to one who can spare the time and money to seek 'the more distant regions in the quest for the larger game.

Six Candidates For Postmaster's Job Are Confident A merry little seMo is promised at Independence where there are about six candidates for the appointive po sition of postmaster. The office has recently been advanced to the second class and seems to be a position much desired. As is usual in political mix- ups the candidates are unanimous in their expectations. Each is sure that the office is his. Rumors gaining headway now and then say xhat one or the other of the candidates have dropped out of ithe race, and almost as promptly comes absolute denial The lady in the case, Miss Kathryn Jones, who is as sure as the other five that she will be Independence's first postmistress, has been accused of forsaking her hopes and ambitions. In an emphatic denial last week Miss Jones" expressed herself in unmixed words. "I am still a candidate for the place," said Miss Jones, "and expect to be as long as the appoint ment is held in abeyance." There are three democratic aspirants for the office, P. M. Kirkland, R. C. Staats and Homer Woods. In a recent de nial of the rumor that they had with drawn the gentlemen say : "We wish to state that the democrats are still in the race for die office and that each of us expect to get it." The incum bent is a republican. PEPPERMINT FARM STARTED. W. J. Tarnbridge Will Seed 668 Acres to Peppermint. In the extreme southwest corner of Marion county, and adjoining the Polk county line, a large peppermint growing project is to be started in .the very near future by W. J. Turnbridge. and others, of Albany. Active opera tions toward clearing the land for the project are already under way and before next spring between 200 and 250 acres will be planted to mint. Mr. Turnbridge already has a tew acres planted and from the results of the experiment he is confident that he can make a great success of the en terprise. There are 6138 acres in the tract which will be prepared tor planting, but it will not be possible to prepare and seed more than 250 acres of this the first season. A don key engine has been installed on the place and construction has been start ed on five cottages for laborers. It is estimated 'that from 18 to 25 men will be employed on the project at all times. SATURDAY MARKET DAY BUSINESSMEN'S MEETING AT W. O. W. HALL FRIDAY NIGHT. . L.' Fisher of Albany Will Talk to Dallas Merchants on Plans For Community Sales Day. The businessmen's mass meeting that was planned by the market and sales day committee of the Commer cial club for last Friday evening was postponed because A. L. Fisher of Al bany, who was to have been the prin cipal speaker, bad not received cor respondence directed to him and had made other arrangements for the evening. The postponement, there fore, was unavoidable and the eommit- tee will do .everything possible to make amends for the delay at the meeting that will be held next Friday evening m vv . u. . nail. ivir. r isner will be present at that time and will outline the plans that have made Al bany's market and soles day so suc cessful.

Successful Campaign, Lasting Many Weeks, Nearly Completed. The evangelist, George W. Taylor, who's campaign in Dallas has extend ed over several weeks, will preach his last sermon here on next Monday evening. The usual campaign statis tics are not available at this time, but it is certain that Mr. Taylor's .talks have directed more than a few into paths of Christianity. The arm ory, where the meetings have been held, has been all but too small to bold the crowds that gathered to hear the sermons. Mr. Taylor and his sod Paul have made many friends in Dal las as well as many converts and many of these have not missed a sin gle meeting. Sermons each evening this week, twice Sunday afternoon and next Monday evening will con clude the campaign in Dallas. PHEASANT SEASON CLOSES. Convictions For Game Law Violations Have Been Many.

HENS ARE PRIZE WINNERS. Pens From O. A. 0. Make Great Showing at San Francisco. With but six weeks of the Panama Pacific exposition egg-laying contest to be run, the 0. A. C. White Leg horns have firmly established them selves in first place. Even if they were to lay off altogether for the "re mainder of the term their position would still be secure. The October, 1 report shows that they are 245 eggs ahead of the nearest competitor, not counting the other 0. A. C. pens a lead that cannot now be overcome. The three Oregon college pens con- inue their lead, Leghorns first, Ore- irons second and Barred Kocks third The Oresons are 52 ahead and the Rocks 16 ahead of the closest pen, Adams' Sanada White Wyandottes. The co'lege rocks sintered an acci dent last month when one of them was accidentally killed, that may affect their lead. Local Talent Play at Perrydale. A community plav given bv local talent for the purpose of paying for the seats in the assembly room of the Perrydale school was largely attended by residents of that district on Satur day evening. "Fenton Ghost," a three-act comedy was the sketch pre sented very capably by those who were selected for the cast. The piece was written by Mrs. J. P. Caldwell, whose husband is leader of the Perry dale band, and it displayed the lady's talent very well. The Perrydale or chestra rendered the music for the event. Later this winter the high school students of the district will present a play for the benefit of the gymnasium fund which is being cre ated for the erection of a play shed, and a room to house the apparatus. New Line is Advanced. The new railroad of the Valley & Siletz company has been extended most of the distance between Airlie and Independence, and active work for the season has stopped.

Farmers living along the road are jubilant. They say- it will open many new markets that will stimulate production. Prospects of fruit raising in the new and thinly-settled country are shown to exist favorably, and it is believed will at tract manv settlers. Progress on Siletz Road. Surveyors left here Monday morn ing to set grade stakes on the exten sion of the logging road to the Siletz timber. It is understood that they will set grade stakes for seven more miles of road.

For years, expert cooks have been converting the inner meats of choice Indian Corn Into delicious, golden-brown crisps POST TOASTIES. A constant endeavor to make Post Toastles better has produced the NEW Post Toasties which have a NEW flavour and f6rm a true corn flavour and tender crisp ness unknown to "corn flakes" of the past. The new process raises tiny pearl-like "puffs" on each flake a disting uishing feature; also imparts substantial form the NEW Toastles don't mush down when cream or milk is added. They come factory-fresh In wax-sealed packages as crisp and appetiz ing as when they leave the ovens and that's mighty good! New Post Toasties Tour grocer has them now.
