In Ore gon, that one is Polk. Not once, but twice in succession has Polk been awarded the -premium over the other counties of the state by competent judges at the Oregon State Fair. A certificate over the signature of W. D. Downing, president of the Oregon State Fair Board, contains the official declaration that Polk is the "Dine Ribbon County" of Oregon. Independence, in many respects, the most interestiag town in Oregon today. Commercially it occupies an advantageous position from which it can never be deprived. Situated in the midst of the rich hop producing section of the county, it is the point where rail and river meet, a natural manufacturing location and supply depot for what is and must continue to bo one of the most prosperous sec tions of the Willamette valley. When it does go ahead and sooner or later it must it will take suprem acy over every other section of the state, in resources and production. Independence is the center of the richest country m resources in the Willamette valley. OREGON GETS $32,313.52 Law Requires That This . Money be Expended on Pub lie Roads and Schools.
