The situation in Independence would seem to demand a new build ing since It is not so arranged as to accommodate an addition. A force ful suggestion is the building of a high school building, and the sugges tion is good. Grounds are obtainable, and if nothlne more than a building of 'four or six rooms, conditions for the present at least would be alleviat ed. Plans of such a structure could be made that additional rooms could be added as needs demand. The meeting which is to take place tonight at the public school building here should be attended by every par ent of Independence. It will afford a chance to study conditions as they exist. The solution of the matter of larger and more extensive educa tional facilities demands their attend ance tonight. This condition must be met. The solution is pressing upon the people of Independence as never before. The people of Independence must act In this matter tonight. SAMUEL HILL Samuel Hill, a wealthy resident of Seattle, who is spending his wealth trying to educate the people of the United States to the necessity and advantages of good public highways and who is recognized as the great est promoters of interest in good roads, passed through the Willamette valley last week, making speeches at most of the important cities, includ ing Albany and Salem. He has spent many years studying methods of road-building in France, Germany, It aly and Switzerland, besides nearly every state in the Union. He has been a resident of the Pacific coast almost twenty years and has done more for the improvement of the highways of Washington than any other man or set of men, that state now having some of the best roads of the country. Some of his remarks are worth serious meditation. For instance: "Good roads are of five times more Importance to the country than protective tariff." Good streets to a town are what fehow windows are to the stores." "Good roads lessen cost of trans portation of farm products to mar ket." He is soon to visit Ottawa, Canada, by special invitation of the Dominion parliament, to address that body on the subject of his life's study. Mr. Hill has Just returned to this country from England, making in all thirtv-three trips to that country in the interest of preparation to devote his life to the agitation and building of improved public highways. His visit to the valley will cause a con aMoraMo awakenine of interest 'in the betterment of our public high !waySa subject of first importance SOCIETY'S INVESTMENT. At Condon, atlliam county, an at tempt waa made last week to tear away the corner atone of the new county hlith achool building and ateal tbe colna deposited there at th lay Ins of the corner atone. It Is a case In which, to aecure by theft the mon ey deposited there, thelvea would do work amounting to three timea value to secure It, even at the risk of a long penitentiary term, to aay nothing of the mutilating of such a monument of public enterprise. H woul.1 have been the same, pernaps. had the robbery of this paltry sum of 12.00 contemplated the destruction oi the building. Given an offer at hon est labor with rewards greater than that offered In the theft of the coins deposited In the corner stone it wnnM no doubt be spurned, idleness breeds a specimen of humanity which stoops to acts of Just such depravity.

Prof. Mcintosh complains that a number of pupils of Independence schools have been absent from school work. Th law of compulsory educa tion requires that all pupils who have reached the age of nine yeara must attend school regularly during the whole time the school Is In session. After the child reachea the age of fourteen years he Is not required to attend provided he Is regularly and lawfully engaged In some useful em ployment.
