Alfred 1jo, GASOLINE HERE IN A FEW DAYS HLSINKSS MEN ARE NOTIFIED l" V.AK SIIII'MENT OKLAHOMA. FROM Aiiiiounceinent was received here this morning from l'ortland that the carload of gasoline ordered by the HuHineHs Men's association will ar rive in Independence in a few days. It will contain a little over 8000 gal 'ns and i8 a part of a trainload which is being shipped from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Portland. Much trouble was experienced in getting this gasoline. It was first purchased in Texas, and was sche duled to arrive here more than a week ago, but there was some hitch in the final transaction, necesstat ing considerable delay before an other train load could be rounded up. As soon as the gasoline arrives here an effort will be made to notify as many people as possible, in order to secure a wide distribution. The probable cost of the gasoline cannot be determined until the receipt of car. It is bought f. 0. b., Oklahoma, freight and cost of unloading will have to be added. It will be sold as near actual cost as it will be possible to determine, as the association has no desire to make any profit on the transaction. FALLS CITY TAKES HONORS FROM ; INDEi'ENDENCF: COLTS SLOPERS PLANTING MANY ACRES TO BROCOLI its flu,,, u 7 ge returned ;ti rumiily after M(rd bv to spending was nccom Mrs. K. C. Sloper Bros, have commenced planting brocoli on an extensive scale. Last year they raised the first big commercial crop ever grown here, making it a supplementary crop in their baby hop yards. They will try it again this season. Plants are grown in cold frames, similar to kale, and then transplanted. Sloper Bros, raised a fine crop last year, marketing it this spring. They were unfortunate in that the rail road strike was on when the crop was ready for shipment. Instead of ship ping it by freight much of it was sent to Seattle and Chicago by ex press. This greatly reduced the pro fit, but in spite of this return was quite satisfactory. Sloper Bros, were the first to start growing brocoli on a commercial scale in this locality.' Others are trying it this season. Independence's chance of winning the championship of Polk couty went a glimmering last Sunday, when Falls City defeated the locals on the Falls City grounds by a score of two to three. In many respects it was a very pretty contest, and had it not been for a few errors on the part of Independ ence, there would have been a differ ent outcome. Falls City made one run in the first, one in the third and another in the fourth. Independence made its two runs in the eighth. This made the third contest with Falls City, Independence getting one decision and Falls City the other two. Had Independence come out vic torious in this game, the chances of carrying off the county pennant would have been exceedingly good, with Perrydale as the only real con tender. The "Colts" will take a vacation for a couple of weeks, as some of the members of the team have outing plans which would conflict with games during this time. REBUILDING OF DALLAS MILL HAS BEEN STARTED Work was actually started on the rebuilding of the sawmill of the Wil lamette Valley Lumber Company in this- city Monday morning, says the Dallas Itemizer. The company has been exceptionally fortunate in being able to secure machinery with which to equip the new mill without un reasonable delay. As it is known, it is almost impossible nowadays to se cure any kind of new machinery for immediate delivery. The local com pany, however, will have part of its new plant here this week and the remainder is already in transit from the eastern manufacturers. This was made possible by the fact that the owners of large mill in Portland that was burned several months ago de cided not to rebuild after their ma chinery had been ordered. It was a portion of tihs equipment that the Willamette Valley Lumber company has secured for their new mill here. It is expected that all will be here by the time the new buildings are ready to house it, and that the mill will again be in operation . within a few weeks.

FORMER LOCAL WOMAN MARRIED IN PORTLAND Normal School LOCAL MEN BUY BIG BUNCH OF CATTLE AT LEBANON Announcements have been received here of the marriage of Miss Eliza beth Cosper to Charles Guy Wever, which was celebrated in Portland on Wednesday of this week. The bride is a daughter of O. F. Cosper, owner of the telephone Bystem until a few years ago. Upon the sale of the plant here the family moved to Lebanon, where Mr. Cosper was en gaged in the same business. Recent ly selling his interests there he has purchased an apple orchard at Yaki ma, Wash. Mr. and Mrs. Wever will make their home in Yakima. The bride took an exceedingly active part in the social affairs of Independence for many years. She was president of the Civic Club for a time and was identified in other welfare move ments. She was deservedly popular. The announcement of her marriage came as a pleasant surprise to an exceedingly large circle of admiring friends here.

The Normal is very appreciative of the efforts of the Southern Pacific to provide for the comfort of students returning to their homes on .Friday of this week. Provisions have been made for a special train to leave Monmouth at one-thirty Friday after noon for Portland by way of Salem. The bus company has also been very kind in providing special convey ances for those who wish to start from Independence. Governor Olcott visited the Nor mal Tuesday and spoke to the stu dents at the chapel hour.' The gov ernor is always a very welcome guest and his talk Tuesdays "A Day in the Governor's Office" was a particularly interesting and instruc tive one. Miss Mingus entertained Miss Martha G. Lane, who is a teacher in the high school at Walla Walla, Washington. Miss Mary Williams, Critic of the Third and Fourth Grades in the In dependence Training School, leaves Saturday for her home in Oak Park, 111. Her numerous friends among students and faculty regret exceed ingly that she is leaving the Nor mal permanently.

The student and faculty members of the Eastern Star enjoyed a picnic on the banks of the Luckiamute last Thursday. Rather extensive plans for en larging the library are under con sideration. Many members of the faculty are leaving Friday and Saturday to spend the vacation period at their respective homes. About forty students will register for the second weeks' session of the Summer School, which will begin August 2. This work is given only for those taking the Elementary Teachers' Training Course. Presi dent Ackerman, Mr. Gentle, Mr. But ler and Mr. Ostien will conduct the work. - : The members of the faculty gave a m'enic Monday evening on the Luckiamute. The affair was in the nature of a farewell party for Miss Mary Williams. Dallas and Independence have again scored in the highway con troversy. A restraining order against the continuance of paving opera tions between McCoy and Monmouth has been issued by Judge John Mc Court in the Multnomah county cir cuit court. Upon the filing of a , $10,000 bond, which has been signed by approximately 100 Dallas and Independence business men, paving will be stopped with the exception of 10OO feet at each end of which is rocked and ready for the top dress-. ing. This restraining order will con tinue until August 30, when the mat ter is scheduled to come up for final consideration. It will then either be made pemanent or dismissed. This affects two contracts. The Warren Construction company be tween Monmouth and Rickreall, up on which there is about a mile of the highway still to pave, and Con- ! tractor Kern who has been operating between McCoy and Holmes' Gap. Concerning this new angle to the highway muddle, the Oregonian says: The Pacific highway must pass through the cities of Dallas and In dependence and state highway com mission funds cannot be spent for the completion of a link in Polk county now under construction which connects these towns only through spurs out from the main highway, ruled Citfcuit Judge John McCourt Monday when he signed an order re straining the commission from fur ther operations along present lines. Jr In a previous tentative ruling, Judge McCourt has held that the Pa cific highway proper had to pass through Dallas and Independence, but that the commission might go a head with the work on a short cut, if money spent thereon came from gasoline or automobile taxes and not from the bonds floated for the build ing of the Pacific highway. Argu ment by John W. Kaste last week succeeded in changing the mind of the judge regarding the possibility of any further work on the short-cut. Under his decision further construc tion must be v done, if at aU with county funds. The Injunction proceeding was brought by Dallas, Independence, Edward E. Piasecki, district attor ney of Polk county, and others, against S. Benson, E. E. Kiddle and R. A. Booth of the state highway commission and others. The deci sion was in a hearing on a demurrer to the amended complaint. The restraining order, which will become effective as soon as a $10, 000 bond is filed and approved by the court, prevents the commission from continuing the work south from Mc Coy towards Holmes' Gap or from Rickreall to Monmouth, except for approximately 1000 feet at each end which is already rocked and rendy for the top dressing. Though it is expected that an im- mediate appeal will be taken to the supreme court, the decision settles for the time being the question as to the right of the state highway com mission to ignore the wish of the legislature as to the route of high ways through the state. The high way commission is considered a better judge of advisable routes than the legislature ' by Judge McCourt, who held, nevertheless, that the law makers had the right to fix the route and, having done so, that the route could not be changed.
