Subscription, $1.50 Par Year MtKtTHtH 3LI0AVS HY The seaion which moves men to do good and camca tha human luurU to fill with charity anl good will U here. At tit it time there in something in the atmosphere we breathe wuich create a desire to do some good deed. An nually much i spent in endeavoring to be charitable, hut the charity it often bestowed with poor judgment. Io not look so (.ir away for sub jects of charity that you are obliged to raise your vision to an angle that makes it impossible for you to observe the territory around you. Com mence right at home and enlarge the field of your investigation. Do this and the chance arc that you will look neither fir nor long before you will find person on whom charity will not be misplaced. In every town of any sixe there ara lure to be deserving and poor people. Many suffer in silence and endeavor to keep their privation nnd hardship away from the world. At th- preavnt time there are poseibly some families in our midst who have scarcely the necessities of life. To these home people, we would recommend, give your gifts and extend poor aid. Christmas will come into many homes this year as before attended with little cheer. Let every one feeling disposed to give look among his neighbors and he is sure to find some one who is needy and deserving, and who will be this year happy for yourself wi.d com lortatiie lor the recipient of your bounty, FOR MORE IMPROVEMENT A stranger, in looking over the city o( Independence, might find reason to think that tue residence portion has not develoHvt in years past in keeping with the surrounding coun try. True we have many lyautiful homes and valuable residences, and the city, generally shaking, is er hap bettor than the average in Ore gon, iut the residents of a live town surrounded by the beet and most pro gressive section of the state, should not be contentet with good enough. Winter is ujon us at present and the opportunity of reform in this ra sped is not the most encouraging, but just as soon as the leaves begin to bud in the spring it would seem that there ought to be a general awakening among the property owner and be fore another wet season seta in the conditions should bo decidedly im proved. We are not offering dictation, but simply offering suggestions along the line of development. Nothing is mote inviting to the eastern home seeker than to find a city w hose stores and homes are well kept. No adver tising that a commercial club or any other civic body can do is more effec tive than the matter of well-made and well-kept homes and business : fit of Oregon. Il hit made j;oh1 promise. I.at Stuil.iy the I'nli-r-prie received a telegram from Mr. llawley at Washington, 1'. C, in which ho says; "Itiver and llnrbnr Dill just paMfd House, t20,0(0 ad ditional for improvements of Will amette lUver for net fiscal yea," This means a great deal for Indepen dence and all Willamette river towns and in fact for the entire state, With out goin deep into the matter one can scarcely realize what a benefit this ap propriation is going to l. It means great developments, it means better freight rates, it means better passen ger accommodations, it means more industry and it mean everything. Fortunate indeed arc the towns on the Willamette river and fortunate are the people of this Congressional dis trict that they selected such an able representative. Mr. llawley has made good at Washington from the begin ing, and the end is not yet. He has a way of accomplishing what he de sires and a com prehension of what is best for the jeoplewhon he serves.
