Ktevena of Independence, was entirely destroyed by fire early Tuesday morning. T h o building was two Ktorl and biiKi-mcrit, valued at approximately $4000, und there was an insurance of ubout $2000. Recently the property had ben b ased for one year to J W, I'ember, who lives in a place adjoining it. It was not occupied, but there was a stove und some furniture in the house. The origin of the fire is not known. It If", believed to have been due to homebody 'occupying the place un known to the lessee or owner and was probably due to carelessness rather than any intent to .burn the building. The Monmouth fire department re sjHinded promptly to the call for assistance. The fire bud gained Kii'h headway, however, that the efforts of the firemen were directed in keeping the flames from spread ing to adjoining buildings, anil they not only accomplished this but sev eral nearby uhade trees appear to have escaped injury. The house was built many years ugo und Mr. Stevens acquired It about four years ago, It hud been intermittently occupied for some time as a rooming house.

BUSINESS MEN WILL FORM: GYMNASIUM CLASS Independence business men are to form a class for athletic sports.

Marbles are not barred, niether is boxing, and it is probable that some of the "hasbeens" will endeavor to climb into the limelight of basketball and kindred sports. The affair is under the auspices of the Retail Merchants' association and it la desired thnt a's many members as jpossiblo attend.

FATHERS DEMAND WORK TO PROVIDE FOR CHILDREN Spokane, Wash., " We must have work to feed the mouths of our hungry children." "We would rather work than steal and do not want charity."

SULLIVAN SURPRISES INDEPENDENCE FRIENDS "Tim" Sullivan, a former well known resident of Independence, sprung a surprise on his local friends last Saturday evening by his arrival here accompanied by a bride of a few days. The first announcement that Mr. Sullivan had become a benedict was made when he arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Carbray and introduced Mrs. Sullivan. His sis ter, Miss Lizzie Sullivan, was at the Carbray home at the time and the announcement came as a happy surprise to her as well as to the Carbrays and numerous other local friends. Mrs. Sullivan was Miss Ruby! Meyers and her home was at Coqu- ille, Coos county With the feli- citations of numerous friends, Mr, and Mrs. Sullivan departed Monday for Myrtle Point, where they will make their home. Mr. Sullivan has large timber holdings in Coos county and is now building a sawmill at Myrtle Point. For many years Mr. Sullivan made Independence his home but for the past few years he has been spending his time in the Coos country and in Canada. His friends were of the opinion that he had become a con firmed bachelor and' he put one over on them. The many friends of "Auntie ' Ingram will be pleased to know that she has taken into the heart and home, a little girl who needed just the love and care that Mrs. Ingram could give her. The home being made desolate thro the death of her husband Some weeks ago, Mrs. Ingram felt that in mothering a child she would not only make the remaining yeai-s Tess lonely for her self, but she thus might be the means of bringing joy into the life of a little child. It is predicted for this little one a happy home and the kindest of care. SISTER OF MRS. SOUTH DIES IN PORTLAND Mrs. M. J.

LOUGHARYS HAVE HONOR EXHIBIT Jersey cattle have been the means by which a long string of honors have been conferred upon Frank Loughary and his son, Ivan Loughary, and the trail to the ! Loughary ranch gouth of Monraouth has become a nationally beaten one. The younger Loughary was in Independence Wednesday and placed upon exhibit in one of the widows of the William-s Drug company sufficient evidence to show that it is Polk county against the world in the aristocratic Jersey family. The Loughary herd was the heav iest winner at the Oregon state fair in 1920. At the Pacific Inter, national Livestock show in Portland a few weeks ago the Loughary herd won more! blue ribbons than any other herd and a total of more rib bons than any other herd. The Oregon Journal cup, awarded to this herd for the first prize breed ers young herd, is in the display here. Naturally, the Lougharys are quite proud of this first prize dairy herd, of which the judge, George W. Sisson of Pottsdam, N. Y., said: "The finest dairy herd I have ever seen in a show ring. They show type and production combined." The Loughary herd was the win ner of two seconds and one fourth in the register of merit classes, showing that these cattle are ranking high among the producers. They have bred and now own the second highest testing cow in the world. She has an average test of 7.53 per cent. "The Loughary farm is located six miles southwest of Monmouth. They are son and grandson of L. W. Lough- ary. a pioneer of Polk county. And it might not be out of place to add that the Lougharys have not secured their jersey fame by accl- dent. It has takeh years of intelll- gent direction, coupled with much hard work, to attain the results which they have acquired.
