DISTRICT IS APPORTIONED The new school district which has been petitioned for by the people south of Independence was allowed by the county court at their session on Wednesday. There was quite a heat ed controversy on the establishment of this district between district 29 . and the patrons of the new proposed district, quite a number from both districts being present to urge th.lr claims. Independence desired to hold the territory for the reason that they have just now voted the bonds for the new high school and had hoped to hold the territory that the tax might fall more lightly on all con cerned. The territory comprised in the new district is an Isolated one and it seemed no more than fair that the residents In. this district should have the district asked for. The ter ritory embraced In this new district Is comprised as follows: Beginning at a point on the Willam ette river where the section line be tween sections 13 and 14 in, t 9 s, r 4 w intersects said river; thence north about 40 chains to the southeast cor ner of the H. Eddy donation claim; thence west 185 chains to the south west corner of the J. E. Rhodes farm; thence north 80 chains to the northwest corner of said land; thenca east 10 chains; thence north 83.88 chains; thence east 114 chains; thence north to Willamette river; j thence up said river to the place of beginning.
