Independence should have some kind of a commercial organization to look after the material interests of the city and. county. We can not hone to accomplish much to ward attracting the attention of the larze immigration which is sure to follow the introduction of thS chean railroad rates without organized effort. These rates go into effect February lo ana win force till the last of Anril. Thousands of people will be petting new homes in the West and Polk county should secure its ehare. Let us organize and do; something. ! They Are Coming. An Illinois paper fell into th hands of a lady in Polk county re cently and in it she found the fol lowing item: ,5 William Iliff and family ar soon to leave for Oregon to take up their residence. They will locate in Independence, Ore gon, until a suitable farm can be secured." After all, the world is not so large a place it seems. The gentle man referred to in the above is an old friend of the lady who so un expectedly ran across the item quoted. Nine years ago they were neighbors in the East. Mr. Iliff is a man of considerable means, and with his family would make a good addition to any community. This family is but one of the many that are beaded for Oregon. They are coming not by onfts and twoe, but by the half dozen and by the carload. , "By their works ye shall know them""- Are we to be judged by our workg then? And if so, what will the decision of the strangers V, iwnnline us? Are we willing to be classed with the sluggards, or shall we be. found with those who are known as hustlers? . Shall the cold, paid in by these newcomers for houses and lands .link in the coffers of the Polk rancher, or shall it go elsewhere? fho nneKtion remains lor ion county citizens to answer. lie KepeutcU HUlory.
