object of hii visit here. He wu sent
to IndeKmdeiiee to Uko a census of
ttie Catholic representation in ttiii
vicinity with a view to the cstsblisl
nient of a place of worship in Inde-iM-nili-iici.
Kev. Mr. McDevitt was
pleased a well mi urrihcd to find
the number of Catholic here and he
expressed the belief that the bishoj
would bo sufficiently interested to
take up the matter of tlie establish

"It is an after conaideration, hut in
the event of the establishment of a
church in your city," said the father,
"InuVjM-ndenco way be chosen an the

KiMtora would not consent to come if
there were no place of worship provid
ed, and as soon as the church is pro
vided then steps may be taken to es
tablish a hospital in Independence.
It it not a bad location for the reason
that the closest one is located at Al

from here to Corvallis, where he will

James Dullard, Deceased.
James Dullard died in Independence
July 30, 1908, at the home of his son,
J. W. Dullard, at the advanced age of
eighty-one years. Mr. Dullard was
born in Rochester, New York, from
which place he removed to Union,

was married to Miss Mary Webb. To
their union were born seven children,
five of whom are living at this time,

In a contest for superiority of pro-
uctt and resources among several
counties, only one can win. 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.
Announcement has just been made
of the amounts which each state con
taining national forests will receive
under the new law giving 25 per cent
of the gross receipt from forest to
these states. The total amount to go
to the states, from tne receipts of the
fiscal year which ended June, is $117,-
The amounts to go to each state or
territory are: Alaska, 12,684.78; Ari
zona, 42,C10.44; Arkansas, $313.68;
California, $52,437.78; Colorado, fM,
