INDEPENDENCE ENTERPRISE INDEPENDENCE, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 0, 1110. NUMBER 28 ESTABLISHED 1883. IS TOURING THE VORLI INDEPENDENCE BOY 18 MAKING LONG TRIP. WILL BE ABSENT TWO MONTHS MORE UNDER CONTRACT AND THE HALF HAS NOT BEEN SEEN OR 8 AID. imiiu-htcil .almost beyond measure to visit the home of his boyhood.Har ry T. Smith arrived lo the city Tu's riHv for tliu flnit tliuu In fourteen years He was accompanied by Capt. Frank Skinner and returned to Salem yt-Htcrday where he will spend a few days at the latter's bonis. , ii. r ' ha. nrobablv Mu more country and nitnKled with niore prom inent men of the United States thau any other man of bis ae In the west. Ilia father. Geo. A. Smith, for years . ronlrtfiit of Independence, left here with his fumlly about fourteen years .o and aettled In Idaho. Since that time our subject has educated him self by travel. He Is now fully con versant of tho fact that -seeing Is believing." He spent all of his school dayg In Independence and at that tlmo was famliiur with the conditions In the city and, vicinity, and he nat urally bccs many improvements. "One thing that particularly im presses me," said Mr. Smith to the writer, "Is the fact that the town con; tains so many young progressive bus iness men." He believes that Indepen dence will become a great business center and that Its future success Is assured. For some time be has made his home in Denver, but at present ho is employed by a syndicate repre senting twenty prominent daily, pa pers of the United States and is ma king a tour around the world writing articles upon different topics for his employers. He hag become a Jour nalist of more than ordinary import ance and is establishing a reputation that should be the envy of all young men having a desire for educational ' opportunities. Independence has raised immense urnnu nt hnim fl.Il d of wheat, and oth er products. We produce apples, and other fruits in fabulous quantities We raise the sleekest and best horses v,n fnnnrt anvwhere. We market w fa'tinaf cattle and hoes. We be hold all this and say It Is very good But the most important crop we raise la the crop of boys and girls, and yet ' little has been said of them. Upon their right education depends not onlj ' their happiness and ours, but tne des tiny of the nation itself. Here can be made a permanent and productive Investment, a provision for life, and more than ' life, a service which can be rendered to dur children but once. All that we have is theirs; but noth ing that we can do for them will be Shall as valuable as a sound and right preparation for the conflict of lire, and we are pleased to note that to day all Oregon is introducing an In dependence boy who has become prominent the world over by means of his early preparation for this con flict. ' Harry T. Smith is an exacting sort of a fellow who never fails to make favorable impressions, and the recom mendations and letters of introduc tion which he has received from dif ferent ' governors and prominent statesmen of the Union go to show that he has. met with esteem and cor diality. The trip which he is now pursuing was promoted by Senator Patterson. At present he is home on a release for a couple of months preparing a story for a great ast ern magazine, j On 111 trip he has met all the gov ernors between Kansas City and Sun Kraii(-lsco, and peoplo familiar wit I current loplca of tho day will rein, ui bor dlffureiit articles appearing from tlmo to time from bis pen.

It haa been authentically stated that 5.2C8.000 pounds of hops are an nually produced and sold within a ra dius of si miles from this city ev ery year. This statement hardly seems possible to those of us who have lived In other sections of the state where hops are raised on a smaller scale, but a committee of rep resentative business men appointee by the commercial club of this city has secured the figures accurately and -he committee is here to substan tiate the statement, therefore It is made without fear of contradiction. Few 'people ln Oregon stop to con slder what the hop industry of Inde- pendence really means. It is beyond all doubt the greatest hop section of the Northwest and means much to all Oregon as well as to Independence and vicinity. The Industry gives em- ployment to thousands of people In this part of the state and scatters money broadcast among the laboring people. CHRYSANTHEMUM FAIR The Annual Chrysanthemum Fair held by the Ladies' Aid Society of the M. E. church on last Friday and Saturday was a splendid success. The fancy work ' and refreshments sold like hot cakes and the evening en tertainments were well attended and highly appreciated. The programs rendered were excellent. The chrysanthemums this year were surpassingly beautiful, making a display which delighted all who saw It. The ladies worked very hard in a worthy cause while getting up this fair. Besides the benevolent work fcr which they have always stood, they have this year assumed a large sub scription on the new church. It is gratifying to their friends as well as to themselves to know that this fair has enabled them to make a goodly payment on their Indebtedness. MARRIED At the home of the bride's parents, on Railroad street in Independence, on Thursday, December 8, Mr. Harry Davidspn and Miss Winnie Pearl Dow. Dr. Dunsmore of Calvary Pres byterian church performed the cere mony in the presence of a few imme diate friends of the bride. The happy couple left on the af ternoon train for Portland and otx their return will make their home in Buena Vista. Their many friends unite in hearty congratulations and best wishes.

The city electiou held here last Monday was probably attended with as great Interest as any election ev- er known 'in tho history of this city. It Is said that 142 votes were cast, and since there wag no opposition to the ticket it Is hard to determine why so much Interest. Upon previous occasions the- elections have passed off with leaser Interest. Under pro visions of the city charter there were to be elected a mayor, three council men and a city recorder. At a recent meeting held for the purpose these officers who served during the past year were nominated and, of course, were elected.

Kitchen Prowler Abounds Last Sunday night, Mrs. Dunsmore being alone In the manse, the other members of the family being In church, a prowler slyly opened the kitchen door, and was about to enter when Mrs. Dunsmore called to him, asking him what he wanted. He quickly pulled the door shut and made a hasty retreat. As there was no light ln the house, it Is supposed he thought the family were all at church. On Monday evening, Mrs. C. W. Butler had a somewhat sim ilar experience, finding a strange man In her kitchen. ( It. Is supposed there is some sneak thief infesting the town, looking for a chance to make a grab, either at eatables or valuables. , Annual Shareholders' Meeting Notice is hereby given .that the an nual meeting of the stockholders of the Independnece National.

AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS' REST MEMBERS OF CLUB ARE CON VENED AND LIVELY BUSINESS MEETING ENSUES. After a rest for several months the commercial club convened In the club rooms last Tuesday evening. The at tendance was not overly large, but there wag considerable Interest man ifested, and the boys seem to .have taken on a new desire to. boost for the city'a interest. After the minutes were read by the secretary and ap proved by the president the latter announced that Mr. Holer of the 'Sa lem Journal and his representative, Mr. Hale, had submitted a proposi tion to connect the city's Interest with a special edition of that paper. Independence manifested its fidelity by rejecting Mr. Hofer"a proposition and placing the matter with the local paper. This expression was unani mous, and more than that they gave an expression of boosting for home industry rather than a Salem Indus try. As a result of this we expect to issue a special edition as soon as possible. The matter Is now under advisement on the part of the club and the publisher of the Enterprise. President Dr. Butler announced that he had talked with Mr. Spauld- ing" relative to the possibility of se curing the location of a mill here by the Spaulding Lumber Co., and was advised that a mill will probably be established here within a year. The only possibility of retarding the suc cess of the enterprise is unfavorable railroad facilities, but It was the opinion of many present that this could be overcome. If Independence will secure the right-of-way for the railroad it is altogether probable that there will be something doing In the way of industry very soon. A mo tion was made to appoint a committee of three besides the president to look after the company's interest in this " respect, and the committee' consists of Dr. Butler, P. M. Kirkland, G. W. Conkey and J. L. Hanna. A suggestion on the part of Mr. Hanna to have the club exercise more ambition and secure new members was met with Joy and at a meeting to be held next Wednesday when the . annual election will be held new members will probably be Invited to attend. - Catarrh Cannot be Cured with local applications, as they can not reach the seat of the disease.

It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and is a regular ' prescription.
