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. The
hops are already as large as a man's
thumb and are firm and good. The crop
promises to be a heavy one.
Some contracts have been made by
local growers for 15 cents, but the prevail-
