A lnovenu'iit was starts! hist sprinrr to raise funds to put tho Ankery bottom road in such t-hapo that it would ho ( si bio to use it for hauling purposes at all times of the year, (hie hundred am! fifty dollars has boon pledged by the eiti.rns of Independence, w hich, together with $0 promised from Marion county to aid in the project, makes $'2l0. This is not enough to put the five miles of road in proper condition for winter use. At least f.jOO will be necessary. With this amount judiciously expended the highway can he made a good one, serviceable at all sea sons. The people throughout the section tapped by the road are willing to con tribute their share in road work and it is .imply up to Independence to say whether the road" shall be built or not. A few hundred more will do it, and this amount would be a mere bagatelle compared with the advantages to be derived. The trade of this rich and growing section would be secured to this city which is its natural trading center. As we said before, it is up to Independence to say whether she wants this trade or not. The roadmaster of Marion county was here a few days ago to see what we were going to do about the matter, or whether we were going to uo anything. The case is one that requires prompt action.

And the hop grower still smiles! Hops are in prime condition, save here and there a few lice, which it is not thought will be of any consequence, as growers are giving their yards careful attention to prevent a further spread of the pests.
