This week probably more ttui any
other time of the year, the Farmer of
Independence becomes prominent In
the minds of city people because of
the handsome exhibits from the
ffcni In the nature of blooded
stock; tad the exhibits are such as to
suggest favorable Comment from all
sources.
Independence has Just reason to
be proud of the stock exhibits made
this week at the stock show, which
convened In the forenoon of the first
two days of the spring meet of the
Independence Driving Associr iO't.
Stock horses are not all the farmers
and Independence people are in
troducing this week, but there are
some beautiful and valuable drivers
and they arei mttking good on the
track. There Is probably no other
town in Oregon where more fot
horses are owned than lu Indepen
