Frank Butler tells us that bis

holds a professional government
position at Washington, D. C,
has been admitted to practice bo-
fore the bar of the District of

Tho 26th of April is . the an
niversary, of the I. O. 0. F.
lodge and since it falls on Sun
day this year the local lodge
voted to attend church in re
galia on that day marching in a
body from the hall. The ser

Tbo first Monday in April
will bo an ' important day for
Falls City. Falls City is enter
ing upon a crisis in her history
and tho conduct of affairs at
such a time means much. For
years we have dozed comfort
ably and contentedly here in
the foothills and the winds
whispering, down from the firs
on the mountains has sung us a
song of a future to come some
day when the wealth closed in
the great trunks should be re
leased by mill and railroad and
wealth and prosperity would be
ours. That time is now at hand
and we are to waken into an
active, hustling and energetic
community with new problems
to deal with and new policies to
meet. The men at the head of
our city government have much
to do with the results of every
town's endeavors. Therefore
we say that the 6th of April is
to be an important day with us.
On that day Falls City is to
elect four of its council, a mayor,
a recorder, who will also be
police judge, and a marshal.
Two of the old council, Messrs.
Watkins- and Raymond, hold
over for a year we are told. In
the hands of those men will be
A meeting of the Indepen
dence Improvement League was
called to order on Monday even
ing by D. Calbreath. The sec
retary then read minutes of the
last regular meeting. Com
munications Were read and re
ferred to the proper committees.
The committee to place an ex
hibit before the Oregon Infor
mation Bureau reported and it
was the opinion that the league
should invito the farmers to
give the league assistance by
seeing the committee, of which
Dr. Butler is chairman,
and make arrangeDients for
bringing in such products as
will bo of value to show the re
sources of Folk county.
Mr. Merrill, of the Pacifie
States Telephone Company, re
ported that be was in Indepen
dence to assist Mr. Barnett r.i
securing rural telephone routes
over tbo nearby territory. V
was discussed generally s...,
found that the Telephone Co.
when 12 were secured on a ro".to
could place in a line for six
miles along their poles at $1.00
per month, the individual pay
ing for the lines and poles from,
the nearest point on the tele
phone line to tho phone at the
party's house. This was dis
cussed at length and the charge
was considered very nominal.
Three lines will be installed if
present indications are realized.
One system will begin sat Inde
pendence and go north as far as
the Brunk farm; also going from
tho Oak Point school house
about two miles north, tapping
the fine farming territory north
of town. Another system will
run south from town as far as
Parker on one line and Buena
Vista on another route. A third
will cross the river 8nd tap the
farming community there.
Independence now has 90
phones in town and this service
will more than give enough to
secure the all-night service for
which we are working.
Free switching can be had
with Monmouth and it will thus
put Independence in touch with
probably over 160 phones which
will be one of the best systems
in the state numerically and in
efficiency.
