There was a clamor for it, and about half of it was handled the first day. The good work is still in progress and it is probable that the tank will be emptied either today or tomorrow. It contained 8000 gallons and 37 cents is the price. Ontho preceding car, the associ ation after paying the necessary ex pense had a balance of close to thirty dollars. Or rather It looked that way until the first of this week when the railroad filed a claim of about fifty dollars as alleged under charge on the freight. Notwithstanding this, the associ ation is satisfied that much has been accomplished by augmenting . the gasoline supply for this neighbor hood. The committee having charge of the distribution of the gas is com posed of F. C. McLean, G. C. Skin ner, C. ;W. Irvine, George Conkey, M. C. Williams and W. E. Craven.

Stoltenberg got a homer to his credit in the fourth, nd I.oy tnd Addison each grabbed a two -sacker. , '. , National Commander D'Olier of the American Legion, who is on an eight weeks' tour through the west, expressed the purpose ' and aims of the Legion in an address given in Portland Monday evening. Mr."' D' Olier says, in part: -y -: - f "I was fortunate enQUgh to have been one of the original 20 who met in France and discussed the forma tion of such , an organization there, and in view of that the present trip his been a wonderful revelation. It brought to me vividly the tremendous growth of the organization in an un usually short time. "In a few years the service men will be running this country." Not because they are service men, or be cause they are associated in any kind of organization! " But because the same men who were the picked young men of the nation in time of need will be the men who will have the initiative and force to take the leadership. . When the war came and Thi? makes an even break for we responded to the call many , of us these teams, two and two.

"Less than a year after it had been organized, the American Le gion was called upon to take a firm stand upon one of the great prob lems before the nation. The men were scarcely back from France be fore there came the outcries of rad icals and revolutionists from within. The stand which the American Le gion took upon that issue was so clear that the radical element was stopped. We had met force with force in ' France and , we were pre pared to do it if need be in America. We who had dedicated our lives to the protection of our country from its foes without stood ready to "give our lives, if necessary, to protect . our country from its enemies with in. . "In a little more than a year the American Legion has grown from a mere idea to a great organization, having for its members representa tive American men in all parts of $ the country, with 10,000 posts and over a million and a half members. Such a growth has never" been ex perienced before by any organiza tion in the history of" this country, and was only possible because of two things-because the ideals were right and -because the organization was planned along practical lints. "The purpose of the American Le gion is given in its constitution which you have read. But summed up in a few words that purpose is to keep alive the spirit of service to our country, which fired the Amer ican soldiers to great deeds during the war and to' keep alive likewise those who answered the country's call." The plant 6f a thriving indepen dence industry has been moved to Dallas. With steam up and every thing else ready ..for a busy season, the time-used monkey wrench was thrown into the machinery Monday night by Sheriff John W. Orr. The resist;' Two men gave a clever-' exhibition of sprinting, the sheriff,, indulged in a little artillery practice, and hun dreds of pounds of what had been perfectly good ( prunes and raisins were fed to the fishes ; of the Wil amette. . , ; . . Investigation determined that the plant ; had -a. -capacity of a quart every six minutes, and it was quite markedly in evidence that it had seen considerable service. It was located in the residence property of Frank Evans in what is known as old town. Realizing that Falls City, Marion county, pr any other particular spot, has no exclusive franchise for this kind of an institution, and with a "tip" " that these are woemshiny ' nights, Sheriff Orr, accompanied .by, M. L. Boyd of Jhe Dallas Itemizer, came, here Monday night. After crossing the fill .oii.the highway lead ing out of town to the north, he en countered a .very pronounced scent. Investigation' finally? led to the Evans house. But, in the meantime a dog had sounded the alarm.- . The sheriff and the - newspaper- man closed in upon the house, md simul taneously two men made a sudden exit from v-the front door, and they tarried not. The sheriff fired twice but instead of halting them the shots seemed to lend them wings -? J - By the moonshine the sheriff rec ognized them and he now has' their visiting card in his,1 inside pocket. Returning to the house they found a going business. ' All the manu factured product had been removed, and apparantly by quick? action. However, the fire was burning, steam was up and everything in readiness for creating a considera ble number of headaches. , t When the sheriff made nis 'official call MjT. Evans' was not at home. The officer took charge ,fo things and after securing a " quantity of the product as evidence, had the partly mnnufacturM product taken to thq river jn a truck. .Dozens of quart fruit, jars were found and j. it was apparent .that the proprietors had been making a practice of aging their product in glass. Made of copper and along the most aproved ; lines, the plant was an up-to-date affair. It was taken to the county seat by the sheriff and will be held pending theappre hensiono of the owners. JOHN M. WALKER, FORMERLY HERE, DIES IN TOr.TLAND ORVILLE HORSE MISSING STRAYED OR STOLEN A horse belonging to Orville But ler of Orville, has been missing since Monday. It has1 either strayed away or has been stolen. Mr. But ler is inclined to believe that the animal has been "stolen. John M. Walker, well-known in In dependence, and for a cosiderable time in the employ of the Standard Oil company here, died in a sani tarium in' Portland, last Sunday. Contracting tuberculosis while serv ing in the navy, he had . been con fined in the institution since last March. The funeral was held from the Clough undertaking parlors at Sa lem, Tuesday (afternoon and inter ment was made in that city. Those attending the services .from here were Mr .and Mrs. C. Word Butler and D. E. Fletcher. . Mr. Walker was about 30 years old, single, and is survived by a mother and three brothers living in Portland and one sister in Seattle. Mr. . Walker was a deservedly pop ular young man and his death is deeply regretted by a large circle of friends. , MRS. F. C. EDDY IS - NOW GRADUATE CORSETIER Mrs. F. C.
