The boat made its first trip up
the river Sunday, and is now mak
ing regular trips. Another sum
mer and the boat companies have
nothing toward giving Indepen
dence a better way to the landing.
In fact if immediate work is not
done on the path to the river it
will be almost impossible to make
the trip after night. A wire fence
also adds danger to the trip after
darkness. The boat companies
have always been treated fair by
Independence people and the treat,
ment accorded the people in return
is shameful.
Postmaster M. Merwin lias ac
quitted himself of a very graceful
task, and the recipients of his kind
ness are deeply appreciative over
bis liberal act. The Independence
football team has been presented
by Mr. Merwin with a standard in
tercollegiate football, and aside
from its value the fact that it came
unsolicited to the boys makes it
more to be prized.
M. L. Dorris, and wife, are here

as a business location, yet they
think Independence is much the
healthier place of the two.
