Of the sawmill piaut iu uiuvpu by the Chas. K. Spaulding bumDer Company is the fact that the people of Independence have not shown a disposition to protect the trade of home institutions. It is unfair and impertinent to say that the lumber o the Independence mill was not fit for building purposes. The loss of a pay roll averaging $1400 a month the year round is sufficient argument to offset the objection. The lumber for the construction of the Independence high school building is being laid on the ground here by a Dallas mill, and it is understood that other buildings here have been supplied with lumber from that city. It is very nice for Dallas that she has a more preten tious pay roll than Independence and it goes without saying that she is likely to hold it since Independence has seem fit to combine with her .in holding it.- The unfairness' in the case is apparent to every institution ot the city which depends on the pub lic of Independence for its existence Miss Edna Myer of Lebanon is vis iting 'ber aunt, Mrs. "Will Ridden.
