.houses are now in the hands of the
city board to be opened this coming

i'c!ock.
The streets are not at this tinie in
course of paving, but are in immedi
ate prospect, and another twelve
months will not elapse before plans
will assume definite form. The Rev.
Dr. Bell no doubt assumed fro.ii the
amount of river gravel, scattered
a.bout the city where numerous buna

ness blocks. In a true sense we
have been paving.
First class sidewalks are being laid
and many are the new buildings now
in course of construction as stated by
the aged and respected minister.
A $15,000 high school is not only
to be built at once but active opera
tions have begun on it.' The grounds
liave been purchased, consisting of
a little more than eight and a half
acres. PJans and specifications art
new in the hands of the school di
rectors. The bonds have been sold
at a premium. Bids for construct.on
are now being advertised in this pa
per. Independence looks good to the En
terprise as well as it does to Rev.
Dr. Bell. It Iooks good to the state
at large, Judging from the many
pre.s comments which it is-getting
from all over. There is no other
town ic the Willamette valley which
pof-sefises more natural promise than
dots tue city of Independence. It
-wilt abundantly fulfill all promises if
the city will keep abreast the devel
opment of the surroundings. Large
:oi..me:viat orchards are being plant
ed within rifle shot of the city and
the finest cattle of the world are
:uow on their way to the very limits
of the city where they will form the
ionization of a better herd than the
.n, th Nelsons recently sold at auc
tion. Walnut groves comprising many
acr s are being set out right bere
anst the city. These groves and
orchards will raise land va'ues adja
cent tc this city from $100 to $1500
an acre, and tnis within fifteen years.
Th . is a positve fact. The opportun
ities right here are so wonderfully ex
travagant that it is not surpfsiug
they are not recognized. It re , -res
fhe new blood that is pouring; in to
show the possibilities of the future.
The improvements which Rev. Dr.
Bell stated wre in course of con
structiop are in fact actual an1 they
will all be under way within another
twelvemonth.

good water, good grass, and plenty of

p.ju..ea the g.ieu Lily that its manu
facturers, many of them, use it ou
their stationery. Rochester has se
lected the stilted 'iuocucriler made
means quality," recalling the equally
awkward "Worcester made Invites
trade." The Syracuse chamber, while
it has no oCicial motto, favors "Syra
cuse spells success." at times uniuK
current shun,' for Us purpose In "It
you're in Syracuse you're iu liRht."
Schenectittiy boasts that it "lights

inviting than its iuvitauou lo
