This is the electrical aire and many
farmers in the vicinity of Indepen
dence are anxious to secure power
and lighting service.
Preliminary preparations have been
made for the extension of the lines of
the Mountain States Power Company
south from Independence for a dis
tance of two miles. A petition, with
nine signatures, has been filed with
the po ver company and the public ser
vice commission. It was circuited
by M. E. Hulbert, the local electrical
man. who found no trouble in inter
esting the firners in the project, and
olhe'-s will probably enroll later.
The tntf.tive arrangement calls
for the farmers to furnish the poles
and place them, and Mr. Hulbert
would put up the wire and make the
necessary connections. It is estimat
ed that the cost would be between
$300 and $400 per mile.

opposition to good roads was intense,
bitter and habitual. It was suppos

just across the Willamette River from
the celebrated LaFollette peach or
chard in Mission Bottom, where the
senator trrew the first loganberries
that ever were grown in Oregon on
a commercial scale. The two cronies
passed the time of day and looked at
some of Chapman's hogs and calves.

had led the fight against every state
and county bond issue that had been
up for years.
