Tolk county is pretty well hot tied up in the matter of sending out or receiving news from the rest of the world after 7 o'clock in the evening. The Western Union has laid an embargo oc business with that company by establishing a charge of 50 cents extra to send a message after 7 o'clock. That is, a mes sage that the Salem office would charge 25 cents to send would cost 75 cents sent from Inde pendence To send a ten word news item out of Independence after 7, the price is 53 cents To send the same number of words from Salem the expense is 3 cents. The result is there is less news of Polk in the out side press than any county in the state, population and amount of business transacted consid ered. , Other counties, it is said. are taxed in the same way, but the above statement is true, nevertheless. Why this dis crimination should exist belongs to the troubles of the Western Uaiori. Why it should not ex ist is a trouble of the public. The Western Union has a valu able franchise in Polk county and it has all the protection of a private citizen. The Bell Tele phone Company is in the same category That corporation, too. has valuable franchises and pro tection in this county. No good citizen objects to these corpora tions making money, but the people have a right to expect something in return. These corporations should share in the burdens of taxation and meet the people half way in the mat- , ter of service. The telephone company, though it has an office and does a lucrative business in Independence, refuses to sub scribe to a street sprinkling fund. As a consequence the merchant, butcher, milliner and other business houses pay the bill for the telephone company, The company has thrown itself on the charity of its patrons and it is not for the purpose of pay ing its help more. The long hours and low wages of tele phone girls is patent to every one. The disposition to take all you can get and give the least possible in return may be overworked by corporations as well as individuals and the ad visability of meeting their pa- trons half way is suggested to both the telegraph and telephone companies in this county. an increase of tia'.io or about GJ per cent. The local option law carried bv a vote of 43,51 ft to 40,19S,.or a majority of 3118. j The dirct primary law curried by a majority of 39,851, the vote being 50,200 for and 10,351 against. The office of state printer amendment failed to carry, the affirmative receiving asked question as to how the rail road can afford to sacrifice a portion of the revenue heretofore obtained from hauling wheat to market to en -mirage the dairy industry by the very low rates on an lk and cream. "About Ave yearn ago" said Mr. Lounsbury, "the railroad company employed C. L. Suiith.an experinec- ed dairyman and ngriculturht of 4",:UM votes, while 49,558 were Minnesota, to deliver a series of nocessrry to make a required majority of all votes cast at the election. Representative Her mann was re-elected by a plur ality of 0813 and Williamson by a plurality of 13,353. In an interview with the West Side 'Enterprise this week, Squire Farrar, a member of the state senate, intimated that the next legislature may take some action on the local option law. While some members may feel a delicacy in dealing with a law placed on the statute books I through the initiative and refer endum, Senator Farrar indicates that he is not afraid to take some action on the local option law, for he believes the people did not vota understanding on it. He does not exnect the lee- o islature to undertake to repeal the law outright but thinks it might amend it in such a way that the referendum would again be invoked and with a second vote Senator Farrar is of the opinion that local option would lose overwhelmingly.

The Hoo Hoo building at the St. Louis Exposition burned, but Oregon's hoo doo building escaped. mi iTTMi tv ti ine wniamette valley was dry before Governor Chamber ain issued his local option pro clamation. Discouraged because his pro phecy of high water in the Col umbia failed to materialize this epring, Weather Forecaster Beals has decided to hazard no more predictions on the rise of the river. For the same reason he might quit sending out weather forecasts. The need of a sewerage sys tem, something Independence must have in some form, is ap parent to any one these dry days. Launched on Friday, the 13th of the month with an abortive attempt to break a bottle of wine on her bow, the "Indepen dence launch is tied up on the bank of the river and refuses to go. lectures to western Oregon farmers on dairying and diversified farming. At the same time to better promote the dary industry low transpor tation rates were established on milk and cream to enable the dairy men to send the product of his herd to the nearest creamery, or cheese factory, and these rates are still in effect. The establishment of low rates on cream, and the introduction and general adoption of the hand sep arator coupled with the able mis sionary work of theJOregon Agricul tural College through farmer's in stitutes were very important factos that contributed materially toward bringing the dairy industry to its present Btage of developement in the Willamette valley. As soon as it was found that a farmer with a small herd of dairy cows, and a cream separator, could aflord to ship cream on the railroad to a distance of 100 miles, new cream eries sprang into existence all along the line. Under these chanced conditions it was not necessary for the farmer to live near a creamery to find a ready market for his cream . All he was required to do was to take his can of cream to the rail road station and send it to any creamery that he liked. From a careful study of agricul tural conditions in the Willamette Valley, it was found that on ac count of cropping the land to wheat year after year, the soil wm grad ually becoming impoverished and the yield of wheat per acre was growing small each season. This meant a gradual reduction in freight tonnage. The railroad which is in terested in the prosperity of the cpun try through which it runs more than any one else for the reason that it hauls the products out and supplies in, was confronted with the pos sibility of hauling less and less wheat tonnage each year, unless something was done to change ex isting conditions. In comparing a dairy section in San Joaquin Val ley, California, with a wheat rais ing section of the Willamette Val. ley, the amount of travel in the dairy region was found to be three times what it was in the wheat raising country. Furthermore it was learned that in the great dairy ing etate of Iowa and Minnesota, the farmers were restoring the product iveness of their soils by the change, Ntinittuilt.
