About this time the old man, who had been ren dered speechless, gained the power cf articulation, interrupted his son as follows: "My boy, all the world's a stage. You hitch the mules to the big red plow and transfer the outfit to the ten-acre lot behind the baru where you can enact the star role In the beautiful little drama, entitled, 'down on the farm.' " -H-H- Afooul 200,000 people rushed Into the Coeur. d'Alene country after a chance In some government land. The av erage person will pay almost any thing for a chance in something of fering extra returns. The world is rushing along after chances in one way, while the plodder is the man who has the bank account. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule, but not many. The prospector, as a rule, is one all his life, gray cf hair and hunting gold.. It is chick-, ens today and feath-rs tomorrow. A few have made while thousands have loa;. In the parlance of the street it Is a losing game. The commercial organizations of the various towns of the Willamette valley are flooding President Taft with invitations to stop a few minutes if not longer while or. his tour of the Northwest. Now here is an opportu nity for the commercial club of this ' cily to get busy and join the proces sion by extending the hospitality of the city to the president and give him a chance to se'; our pretty ?irls and to kiss the babies. This will be possible now that it has been decided that the president is to have his own special train. i I I I ' According to a a recent decis Ion handed down by the suprenr court of Iowa, swearing over the tel ephone Is permissible. Because of this ruling the Marcy Telephone -Co. of Boone will have to reinstate the telephone of George Huffman. Th" company took it out (because they said he "cussed" over the wire.

Every towu needs energetic, op timistic workers. Independence has them, though they aro not always busy, -l-H-H LO, TMK POOR EDITOR The following definition of an edl tor, taken from one of our exchange hits the nail on the head and la wor thy of reproduction: The editor of today has to get his nose down on the grindstone and keep It there sixteen hours per day and 36.". days in the year or he falls by the wayside. There are men who quit work Saturday night and rest tyi til Monday morning. They lay aside isiness cares at five or six to'clock every evening and do not resume thera until seven or eight the next uiorning. Not so, your editor. He ha no elegant leisure. He knows no hours, no Sundays, no nights. When he goes to a party, or to church, or on a pleasure trip, it Is all in the line of duty. Withal, your editor is a cheerful, longsuffering soul, going about doing good in his huul.jle way. He returns good for evil. He writes long puffs for church sociables, and in return thorefor accepts a huuk of cake that would sink an ironclad. He notes the arrival of all the babies In the neighborhood and eternally per jures his soul in telling how pretty they are. He rejoices with the gay and mourns with those who are sad. He booms every enterprise which makes his community rich and goes about himself clothed In gunny sack coats and one suspender. He glories over the fortune of his neighbor, and meekly eats his own repast of fboiled corn cobs and colored labels off to mato cans. He can write a sermon an account of a prize fight, a politica speech, an obituary notice, poetry; split wood, 'pitch- hay, wash dishes, preside at a camp meeting, curry horses, quote law or gospel or any thing else at a moment's notice.

A. Al bin, prefcident of the company, to make a personal inspection of the soil and the climatic conditions of this section, with the result that Mr. Albin is now as enthusiastic as Mr. Simon liiimself, and he will use the best endeavors with the other mem bers of the company to locate in our midst on the showing of proper en couragement in Independence. This is a matter that every citizen of Independence and of Polk county, who are in the least possible; manner interested in its growth and develop ment, should lend their hearty sup port. It should be given every pos sible encouragement to help it along. Within a short time after it has become generally known that such a project is being developed in Polk county attention will be attracted to us from all parts of the United States and it would not be many years be fore Polk county apples would be as famous as Hood River or Rogue Riv er are now. Excursion trains would be running almost every day from ! Portland bringing prospective buyers among us and Independence would be on the map. Of course, we have our hop industry which no one can well sneeze at, but outside of the county the general opinion prevails that we can't raise anything else. Now is an opportunity and let us embrace it. Ron Joshua McDanlel, Rickreall, Or egon T P Cummins. Rickreall, Oregon E I. Gale &. Co.
