INDEPENDENCE, OREGON
B. F. JONES IS
10 BE RECEIVER
B. F. Jones of this city has been
appointed, through Senator Bourne, ti
the office of receiver of the land of
fice at Roseburg, to succeed B. L.
Eddy, whose term of office expires
the 18th. inst. The president has con
firmed the appointment and Mr.
Jones will take up the duties of the
office as soon as Mr. Eddy's term
expires.
The appointment of Mr. Jones to
the Roseburg land office is in recog-
nition of his valuable services to Mr.
Bourne in his election to the United
States Senate. He has served three
terms as a member of the lower
house in the Oregon legislature, and
at the 1907 session helped to elect
Bourne senator.
While living at Toledo, Lincoln
county, Mr. Jones in the general elec
tion of June, 1902, was elected State
representative from that county and
served at the 1903 session of the leg
islature. He subsequently removed
to Independence and in June, 1906,
was elected joint representative from
Polk and Lincoln. Two years later
he 'was re-elected to the same office
and during the meeting of the legis
lature last winter was one of the
most rabid Statement No. 1 members
of the lower house.
During the campaign which preced
ed the organization of the legisla
ture last winter, Mr. Jones at one
time was talked of as the candidate
of the Statement forces for Speaker
of the House.
The appointment was a surprise
to friends of Mr. Jones in this city
and it is understood that the office
came unsought to him. The news of
the appointment contained in the
press dispatches was the first inform
ation received by either Mr. Jones
or his friends.

Card of Thanks.
The family of the late Louis F.
Blanchard desires to thank the
friends and neighbors of Indepen
dence for the assistance and sympa

of the late Louis F. Blanchard
and for the floral remembrances.
Ill Health is More Expensive Than
Any Cure.
This country is now filled with peo
ple who migrate across the continent
la all directions seeking that which
gold cannot buy. Nine-tenths of them
are suffering from throat and lung
trouble or chronic catarrh resulting
from neglected colds, and spending
fortunes vainly trying to regain lost
health. Could every sufferer but un
do the past and cure that first neg-
Aiter skating luncheons are very

I A number of the young men oi
dependence met at the home of Rev.
'Maynard R. Thompson last Monday
Class. The purpose of the organiza
tion is, according to the founder, M.
1 a Hudson of Syracuse, N. Y-, the
rescue of young men from the paths!
of sin. A constitution was auopieu
:at the meeting Monday night and a
I few officers were elected, but owing
to the small number of young men
! present at the meeting, all of the of
fices were not filled. The object of
the club is to impress young men
with the manliness of Christian life
and to interest them in Sunday schoo!
and the study of the bible and to pro
vide for them elevating and refined
amusements, such as socials, athletics
etc.
Young men above the age of six
teen and under the age of forty are
eligible to membership. Those in
terested in the movement can have
a chance to become members if they
will attend Sunday school at the Bap
tist church next Sunday or any fol
lowing Sunday.
I Goes to Sunny California.
! On Thursday morning D. W. Cum
mins, who has been in the real es
1 tate business in this city for the past
few months, left for Ceres, California,
where he has purchased a fine little
ranch. His wife left several weeks
ago for the east to visit relatives and
friends. She will join Mr. Cummins
in California after the holidays. Dur
ing their residence in Independence
Mr. and Mrs. Cummins have made
many friends who regret their remov
al from this place.
