Friday, September 15, 1922 INDEPENDENCE ENTERPRISE Eage Two ELK1NS WILL HAVE COMMUNITY SALE Farmers will Dispose of Sur plus Stock and Im plements Carrying out the idea that in unity there is strength, the Elkins commu nity will hold a public sale on the school ground on Thursday, Septem ber 21st Cows, horses, sheep, fcoats, pigs, chickens and some farming im plements will be the offerings. It will be made a community gath ering in addition to the sale feature. Col. G. Satterlee of Salem will offi ciate as auctioneer. The sale is in charge of a committee consisting of A. E. Tetherow, H. W. Hannum, E. A. Tedrow. There will be a free lunch at noon. Alive ot the possibilities of coopera tion, the community sale has become an annual event at Elkins. In the fall of the year farmers everywhere usu ally have some stock and some equip ment which they would like to dispose of, but not enough to warrant an in dividual sale, so that Elkins folks have adopted the unity sale idea. A small commission is charged on sales to defray the expense. OREGON'S FIRST BUSINESS EXCITEMENT IS RECALLED Portland Oregon's first business excitement came in August, 184S, when a little schooner from San Fran cisco pulled into the wharf at the village of Portland and began to load all the Oregon products obtainable in exchange for a lot of Mexican pro duce. After a cleanup was made of all the available products the captain of the visiting craft announced the discovery of gold in California. Very soon gold dust and States' money was rolling back into Oregon in exchange for more Oregon products and so wheat was soon eliminated as the circulat ing legal tender medium. It was not loi p before Oregon was digging as much jrold out of the sale of its products as the miners were getting in California. Industries be gan to get u footing in the State and the demand for workers brought ad ditional settk. to Orcj.cn just a3 f;e gold digging operations brought nv.r-j people to California. As one of the re'ults of this t'e velopment Ihe n iinuracture of gold coins was started it Oregon City a few months later. The Oregon City mint was the first on the Pacific coast and coined $58,500 in gold money under the sanction of the United States government. The faith of the government in these early days of the possibility of industrial development in Oregon impressed citizens of the state and resulted in the establishment soon afterward of the nucleus of plants from which present day industry developed. One reason why the Associated In dustries of Oregon persistently urges encouragement of Pacific Northwest and local industries is that factories are quantity buyers of a tremendous list of products, both raw and partly developed. Thus more general busi ness is created through the demands of growing manufacturing establish ments. Factories use thousands of articles which are bought in the open ! market. The wages paid out locally are spent for tens of thousands of articles bought in the open market. Manufacturing, both small and large enterprises, forms the backbone of prosperous communities. The big going" industries of Oregon are bring ing a steady stream of outside money to the people of this section year in and year out, yet this stream is alto gether out of proportion to the vol ume of money pouring eastward for hundreds of staple necessities which, if purchased here, would go a great way towards equalizing the money tide. In a state of largely undeveloped resources and a population of only eight people to the square mile, it makes a big difference in the general welfare of the people as to the amount of money sent away and what the state makes and sells. Manufact uring industries, therefore, offer the greatest possible opportunity for increasing wealth and making a pros perous population and stabilizing conditions generally. It does not matter whether a person is connected with a local industry or is represent ing or relying upon the products of a factory in the east. All persons are KfiriO'T! iaA YT Via taimlnrtiArif t manufacturing and although local industries offer competition, the field j for every kind of business is beinji enlarged through expansion of inanu-j facturine and it is a civic dutv of every citizen to give consideration to J uie weuare ana me progress oi ioca: . industries in our state. UNJUST REFLECTION ON POLK COUNTY ! Statements emanating mainly from the office of Federal Prohibition Officer Linville and given publicity through the Portland and Salem newspapers as a result of the tragedy at Grand Ronde Sunday morning, do Polk county a rank injustice. One unfamiliar with the true situation would be led to believe this county was the dampest and most lawless in the whole state. Quite the contrary is true. People in a position to ob serve conditions here and elsewhere know that Polk county is one of the cleanest, if not the cleanest, county in the state in the matter of law violation of all kinds, and particularly as regards the state and federal liquor laws. Without exception there is no sheriff in Oregon who has been more energetic or conscientious in enforcing the prohibition laws than John Orr. Moonshiners and bootleggers them selves will testify to that effect. Up to the present instance Polk county has not had a murder case to try in more than eight years. Few criminal cases of any kind are ever on the circuit court docket and many terms of court go by without the grand jury being called. The county jail is often vacant for months at a time. It is not to be denied, however, that bo mo moonshining (and bootlegging is carried on in this county, but when ever information sufficient to war rant action is placed in the hands of the officers they act promptly and without hesitation. The courts of the coutnty invariably co-operate with the officers and impose stiff sentences on convicted violators. No class of people are quicker, gen erally, to criticise the officers of a city or county for laxity in law en forcement than what is known as the "church element." Criticism of Sher iff Or or the other officers of this county for not doing their duty is seldom heard from any of these people. 4To the contrary, the follow ing statement from the ministers of this city show the esteeem in which Polk county's sheriff is held by them: "We, the undersigned pastors of the evangelical churches of Dallas, resent the recently published state ments that reflect upon law enforce ment in Polk county. We consider Sheriff John W. Orr and his deputies efficient officers and conscientious in their efforts to keep moonshining, bootlegging, gambling and other forms of vice at a minimum in Polk county." "Signed: Rev. A. L. Lonsberry, Pas tor Evangelical church; C. F. Trimble, Minister Christian church; John E. Youel, Pastor Presbyterian church; Frank James, Pastor Methodist church." In connection with alleged viola tions of the liquor laws in the vicinity of Grand Ronde, is should be remem bered that that town lies close to the Polk-Yamhill county line. In fact, old Grand Ronde is in Yamhill and new Grand Ronde is in Polk. Had Dr. Linville and his officers saw fit to consult with Sheriff Orr and had invited his co-operation in cleaning up the "awful conditions" alleged to have existed in this county, instead of trying to take all the glory for themselves, there would have been no fatal shooting at Grand Ronde. Officers dealing with Indians should know Indians and the local conditions that surround them. Upon the shoulders of Dr. Linville and his sub ordinates themselves lies much of the blame for the killing of Trice and Todd. Dallas Itemizer.

I hurried off the gangplank, up the street, and Into the nearest drug store. As I returned the lust pussengera were going aboard the boat. "Where Is your i!d:t, miss?" asked the white-ducked official. Where, indeed ! I dashed back to the drug store. Fortunately, my purse was where I had left It. But when I reached the boat again the plank had been taken In. "It's nil right, miss," said the grin ning negro porter on the wharf.
