Geo. Stapletan and family stop

Mr. and Mrs. John Dickinson,

Mr. and Mrs. Clay Sugg left for
Newport Monday.
Mr. John Graham, of Hood River,
Oregon, but formerly of Jackson
county Iowa, has been visiting
with John Dickinson and family
the past week. Mr. Graham while
here was very favorably impressed
with the surrounding country and
expects to move here soon.

and some spring grain threshed.

Miss Leona and Alfreda Sperling
gave a lawn party at their home on
Railroad street Friday evening in
honor of their guest, Miss Opal
McDevitt of Dallas. The front
yard was illuminated with Chinese
lanterns nd merriment ran high
among the young folks until after
ten. There were games, refresh
ments and music. Present were
Nellie Damon, Opal McDevitt

Mrs. C. A. McLaughlin is in re
ceipt of a letter from her husband
64 miles beyond , Nome Alaska.
The tone of Mr. Mclaughlin's let
ter would indicate that he is not
altogether j leased with the proB
pects before him as a gold miner,
and it should not be an occasion of
surprise if he alights from a train
at Independence before many
weeks. There is gold under the
ground in Alaska, Mr. McLaughlin
says but there is not water to wash
it out. Mr. McLaughlin has made
money raising hops near Independ
ence and he no doubt will find the
labor more congenial and profitable
than digging and washing out gold
in the northern gold fields.
I. Vanduyn a pioneer resident of
Independence, but now a citizen of
Portland, visited his old stamping
ground this week. While here Mr.
Vanduyn was associated in busi
ness with W. H. McCullv. The
firm of Vanduyn & McCully, sold
goods in the same buildiEg now
occupied by Messner. They also
built the first wheat warehouse.
Mr, Vanduyn came to Independ
ence in 1867 and was in business
here until 1888. He never parted
with his interest in the Messner
store building until last year and
he expressed himself as regretful of
having sold out. "I beheveJnde
pendence is now going forward,"
Mr. Vanduyn remarked. "The
stores and offices present a clean

The cascara bark season is about
over though some are still peeling
the bark in coast counties. The
price this year has been 5 and 5J
cents. Last year it soared to 17 j
cents whioh proved a great stiomloi
to thecascura bark peeling buslueas.
There was distributed in the oas-

distribution of considorable money
this year.
Actiyity in the cascara bark busi
ness the past two years has given
rise to speculation as to how long
it will hold out.
Every time the bark is taken
from a tree, it means death to the
tree. If the tree is of any size, it is
out down before the work of peel
ing begins. In this way all the
trees from two to three inches in
diameter up to the largest ones
are disposed of. Only the very
voune trees are left. It requires
about nine years for the young trees
to grow large enough for profitable
