Time was when it was thought you t-otililn t In-neve what von re:l in the ada. The mer chant who will atoop to miMreprtent n hi advertuing in tin day is court- ng a premature end. A glance at the country paicr from all part of the state tdiowt this to U true, and a viit to the towns of a Mate disclose many phenomenal rise in the industrial orld of men who appreciate tlio worth of their home papers and who are not afraid to use them. They have made it more through the reliability of their idvertiaing than through any other virtue. Consistency enters into the matter. The merchant who runs a pago now and then cannot eiect to get the steady (low of custom that the merchant gets who runs a half page all the time. And at the came time the steady advertiser pays little more for his publicity than the man doe who runs a page now and then and gets out a lot of hills. What is paid for the page and the bills would carry the other merchant's ad for about two months. It is because he contracts his space at the lowest rate and does noth ing but newspaper advertising, and in stead of mailing out hills he applies it all to the one end. Newspaper adver tising is the best there is positively the best. The politician does his through the newspapers because it is dignified, and dignified advertising is what pays the merchant. The Century Clnb, a commercial organization, ia one of the most im portant features which has beea com pleted in Indepenuence, both irom a commercial and social standpoint It starts out under splendid auspices, having as it does a membership cho sen from the city's most select popula tion, including prospective member ship under consideration by the board of directors at this time. The de mand for such an organization has been felt for years past, and it re mained for a few brave men to shoul der the burden and push the organiza tion. With this body in organization Independence is placed immediately in position to forge ahead, catching step wiih the many other towns of Oregon which are awakening to the advantage of securing the fruits of homeseekers who will settle on the Pacific coast in the next few years. The club has comfortable quarters in the brick building in which the creamery is located and their rooms are fitted with nice furniture, with ev ery provision for the comfort of the members.

C. L. GRAVES, Assessor of Polk County, Oregon. Dated September 24, A.D.,1908. The work of his Satanic majesty has never in the history of the world been so popular that society cared to see it depicted in picture or play and the drama. "The Devil," which is now being played all over the United states, must of necessity run a short season of popularity. A class of fic lion which has been written portray ing the sensational and playing upon the passions of humanity, discovering the evil works of misguided emotions, can iever be popular with society. The picture is true to life: too true; the very fact of which will prove the downfall of its attempt. The drama, however, is the sensation of the hour in all the cities of the country, and the foregoing is but a prediction of its final reception. It presents that side of human sociology to which modest society does but cover its eyes; to be hold which is but to defame the high er moral elements of our moral fibre. Tit ES PASS NOTICE.
