The side walls are about through and tho roof will lie on before the week is ended. The floor space is l.Wxtil) feet. It is certainly a splendid floor space. If the dancers or skaters of Independence ever get their glims on that floor" you can depend on it that there will be a house warming as soon as the carpenters will let them in. J. W. Hall moved on to the grounds tho first of tho week with his drilling outfit to put down a couple of wells for tho cannery. He will sink the wells down to a depth of not less than forty-five feet which will 'insure that there will bo no surface water from them. Another week with good weather will witness progress toward enclosure of the main outer structure, and in a couple of weeks the work of installing the machinery will be in progress. FRANK LOUGHARn SUCCESS. Frank Loughary of the Luckiamute country, was in Independence the last of the week. He delivered a load of hogs to W. W. Percival who is buying for the Portland market. Eleven head of the hogs weighed 3310. Two of these were eight months old and the balance were nine months old. These hogs were fatten on skim med milk and wheat. It is a good record. Mr. Loughary reports that his alfalfa, which by the way is grown on his upland, is looking fine this spring. It will be remembered that he har vested three crops last year from this field which yielded about four tons to the acre.. This is the third year for this fiold, and the result of the venture has Men watched with much interest. He is of the opinion that dry land al falfa is a success. He is increasing his acreage of alfalfa. An Insidious Danger. One of the worst features of kidney trouble is that it la an insidious disease and before the victim realizes his danger he may have a fafal malady. Take Foley's Kidney Remedy at the first sign of trouble as It corrects irreg ularities and prevents BrlgUt's disease and diabetes. D. G. Doye. COMING ALONG NO ARGUMENT CAN PREVAIL To Turn Oregon's More In'el ligent Voters AGAINST THE APPROPRIATION la Selecting a Home Schools i0 fll' are nrs That the people of Oregon will sltp port the appropriation of ifl2"i,(HKI for the I'nivcrsity of Oregon, is confi dently Udieved. Kspecially'i it U lieved when we contemplate the se rious voter it he c es factf to face with the situation with ballot and leiicil. It is ridiculous' to presume that the intelligent voters of Oregon will do otherwise in view of the fact that the appropriation in mind deals with the life of one of the state's lead ing educational institutions. There is no argument that can be produced to excuse the failure to grant privileges of education. Itcannot be excused in the parent. Much less can it le in the state. There is no grander con templation of dissolution of fortune, esccially, private than that given to polishing and finishing manhood wit lj tho higher dignities and more elevated moral attributes. To contend that the common schools should receive the bulk of appropria tions of money for educational privi leges is an impotent argument to be suggested in the crisis now. confront ing the voters of Oregon. It is impo tent in the fact that the common schools do not comprehend education in the broad sense of the colleges and universities of the country, and until they are brought up to that broad standard of education afforded by the higher educational institutions it is unwise to agitate a change. To fail-to pass the appropriation of $125,000 for the University of Oregon would result in the abolishment of that great school, or to enfeeble it to such an extent that it would require years to recover its elliciency and prestige. If the enemies of higher education believe that they can accomplish the ruin of University of Oregon they are misguided. It must be remembered that Oregon has too many intelligent citizens who appreciate the advantage of institutions of learning institu tions that make better homes which are the pillars of society and stat(3 to allow University of Oregon to die. Hundreds of lofty minded men and women would rush to the rescue should this appropriation fail to carry. Many would give all their earthly substance for the rescue of University of Oregon. Home-builders, Orcgonians, peaceful dwellers of the Willamette valley, will not vote down the appropriation, lo these higher institutions of education we point the emigrant whom we desire to enlist into our society. They are thV first requisite of a new state. They bring the desirable ele ment to us. Perpetuate University of Oregon now and forever. W. 0. W. Big Lorj Rolling. . Last evening, at the regular session of the Falls City camp, arrangements were completed for a big V. O. W. pic nic and a log rolling contest to be held in Falls City, Saturday, May 23. Neighbor Fiske, deputy organizer, and several other woodmen from Dallas were here to pledge the support of Polk county. The different commit tees on arrangements began work at once. This is not only a great honor to Falls City, . but, will mean much in a financial way to our business houses and hotels, as there will be at least 5000 woodmen here on that day. Special trains will be run from all parts of the county on the 23d and 24th of May. . Handsome prizes will l- awarded in the limliy different con trol.

BADLY NEEDED The fact that wool buyers are in the field with offers of only half the prices which have been offered heretofore should be conclusive proof that the sellers are at the mercy of the buyers. Now is the time for all wool and mo hair growers to come together and ef fect thorough organization of all in terested people in the Willamette val ley. Don't allow the buyer to dictate tbo nrice of vour product any further than is absolutely necessary. This can be accomplished only by complete organization where the voice and sen timent of wool growers are a unit and where co-operation is a fact. If the growers would perpetuate good prices let them lend every assist ance. This is al step that should be enthusiastically indorsed. Don't wait for one another to act but let every body take a hand in assisting such an organization. Sheepmen Should Organize. .T. 11. Mulkev was in town Monday from his farm north of Monmouth. Mr Unlkov runs sheep and goats on his farm and heretofore has derived a splendid revenue from them. The re cent fall in the price of wool and mo hair will affect the wool growers of Polk county very seriously. Kecent quotations are 10 l-2c for wool and 18c for "mohair. It will be observed that this cut is less than one-half what wool formerly sold at. What the growers are going to do to meet this situation is not yet determined, but in all probability, according to Mr. Mul key, this fall in price will result in a thorough organization of the wool and mohair growers of tho Willamette val ley. The mohair growers are organ ized to some extent in the valley, but their organization is almost identical with that of sheep, and in all likeli hood they will iinite with sheepmen in organization.
