A sec good solid boost It will be but a short time until Independence can take Its place with many of the larger towns, and boast as good streets as are to be seen In the Willamette valley. Surely, while the conditions are so favorable, we cannot afford to let the opportunity pass. .FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE Merchants in many cities and town of the west are advocating the use of Red Cross Seals for Christmas shoppers, and from the reports In the many places where the work is being carried on it is evident that a large sum of money will be raised In this way, to go to the Red Cross for use In fighting the White Plague. Port land, Astoria and Eugene are leading the western Oregon cities, while Pendleton is making a strong bid for the largest sales in the eastern part of the state. Few towns are not rep resented, and even in the smallest retary is employed whose duty is to give every Inquiry his careful atten tion and to see that all questions asked are answered carefully and courteously.

No object could be more wo'trhy of patronage, and it is to be hoped that every man, woman and child, during these last few days of gift buying will make use of every opportunity to use the Red Cross Seals. The cost W each individual is practically noth ing, the stamps being sold for one cent each, yet the total amount raised in this way will probably run well into thousands of dollars.
