Hei del, met with an acci dent Tuesday evening which will de prive ber of the use of her left arm for several weeks. While riding her wheel, at the corner of Fifth and Main street, she ran into the fence and waa thrown violently to the ground, breaking her arm nea the wrist. Dr. A. B. Bailey re duced the fracture. About two weeks ago Alderman John Dennis hung his coat on a nail in his store. The other day he wanted to use that particular coat, but found it gone, Since he has bunted high and low for it and baa come to the conclusion that some light fingered artist in that line has appropriated the same. Some pa pers in a pocket made it an expensive loss to Mr. Dvniil. Geo. Ziegler, of Arlington. Neb., who has been in Oregon since the 8th visit' ing the fair and other points of interest came out Wednesday and spent the day with F. Schomberg. Mr. Ziegler is de lighted with the Oregon country and says many Nebraska people are headed this way. He became a subscriber for The Independent, which indicates that he desires to keep posted on this section G. W. Stewart, driver of soda water wauon. W. u. Kiopelle. a member oi the fire department, and several women were the only persons injured In the big fire at Portland Tuesday morning. It is remarkable that no more were hurt, There was s very large crowd at the scene, and after the fire had been burn ing fiercely for some time, hundreds of electric wires melted and fell to the ground in all directions. County Clerk Godman has issued 50 fire permits up' to date for this season This is the first year In the memory of the oldest Inhabitant that the air has been so free from smoke, the mountains west of Hillsboro being plainly visible. At this date a year ago the smoke from tort st fires was so dense that at times during the day the sun was hid from view. It is evident that the new law in regard to setting fires Is a good one and is being respected. The Washington county booth in the Agricultural building at the Lewis and Clark fair has had the new grains and grasses installed, the work having been done by a professional decorator, and It has made a wonderful improvement in the appearance of that booth. The grain exhibit is now as good, if not bet ter, than that exhibited by any other county. The ladies paid $25 for seed last winter, and have recently been reaping their harvest. W. A. Williams, known to most every body about town as "Dad" Williams, laid down the cares of life last Sunday and joined the great majority. He had been s sufferer for a long time with Bright'! disease, complicated with heart trouble, and only a few days before his death gave up and went to bed. The body was laid to rest In Odd Fellows cemetery on Monday. He leaves two daughters and four sons. If the city authorities would take as much pride in cutting the thistles and weeds growing along the walks of this city as some of our property owners do in fixing up their old residences, the newspapers here might be able to say something complimentary of our city. Many old homes have been repainted, repaired and made to look as good as new, which adds to the value of the property and to the looks of our city, but the growth of weeds, thistles and other noxious weeds all over town is a dis grace to the city and anything but a good advertisement for the progressive ness of those in authority. And. Jack, one of the successful hop growers of Farmington, was in the city on Monday. He says that while his hop crop will be lighter than last year, the quality is fine. He will commence picking September 4. James Sewell, whose large yards are just east of town, will commence picking about that time. He reports a shortage In the crop, but the quality is the best he has ever rais ed. The production in the several dis tricts of this county is estimated as fol lows: Hillsboro, 2,000 bales; Forest Grove, 500; Laurel, 500; Sherwood 2,- 000; Tualatin, 1,000, making s total for the county of 6,000 bales. In this county grain s all cut and in the stack ; corn and potatoes are show ing the effects.of the dry weather and pastures are drying op. Rain is needed badly. Reports from North 'Yamhill says grain is sll in the stack and very light; weather warm, dry and dusty with strong north winds. Threshing continues in all sections. The yields in the Willamette valley continue disap pointing, but in the Columbia and the Grand Ronde valley the returns are very gratifying. Hops there are making seasonal progress, where spraying was thoroughly done the lice have about disappeared. Corn is earing and filling nicely and a good - crop is indicated. Stock continues to lose flesh. August Schomburg of Chicago, 111., has been enjoying a delightful week with bis brother, F. Schomburg, of the Con denser Co. Twenty-five years sgo the two brothers bade each other good bye in Germary, August to remain in the Fatherland and Fred to take shipping for America, the land of promise and plenty. Fred drifted to Oregon in time and here he has built op a home and a good busi ness. Eleven years ago August crossed the water and chance landed him in Chicago, where he is in business, but the brothers had not met since parting at the old home In Germany until they crossed palms with each other at the depot In this city. The meeting wss a most joyous one, and it's Fred's main object in life just now to make his brother forget noisy, bustling Chicago, I and move to Oregon, "the garden of the ' earth." Last Monday morning the new coup ling for the city fire Ii'rtment ar rived. Some two months ago a repre sentative of the Anderson Coupling Co., 4rrAn.rd on c-"' sfrsnts nalrio an automatic and the latest nozzle. Both are undoubtedly the best to be had, as nothing has yet been placed on the mar ket that will equal the good qualities of these articles. The nozzle will throw a large stream and at the same time throw a Urge spray that will protect the hold er. The couplings are easily adjusted, no wrench being necessary. A spring and half turn releases it w hen the stream is turned off, but it is Impossible to dis connect it when there is pressure on that line of hose. The new apparatus cost the city $250 aud is a good invest ment. Last Tuesday a son of Italy, who oper ates a truck garden out in the rural di tricts and sells his products to city con sumers, drove into town, and by way of diversion, drove his vegetable wagon over s little go-cart standing near the curb, smashing it to smithereens. Now this small wagon meant much to its lit tle owner, who had saved his pennies for months until he had hoarded up enough to make its purchase, and who stood by and viewed the wreck, while tears of genuine griet coursed down his cheeks 11 was a lortune to turn. Li4 the pro duce hawker stop and sympathize with the lad or offer to pay for the damage done? Not on your life I He mounted his produce cart and moved away ; a lit tle thing like that was no concern of his, J. W. Shute, who happened along, took in the situation and gave the boy half dollar toward the purchase of a new cart, which went a good ways towards mak ing the child forget his grief. It Is said the marshal stood across the street and saw the Italian smash the wagon, and if this is true, he should have arrested him for it. 1 he county commissioners meet next Wednesday. Mrs. Oliver Galbreath, of Tigardville, was transacting business in the probate court yeeterdity. Miss Elite Godman has been hired by the county commissioners to copy the census roll and she is now at work on the list.

With this band is a chorus of 125 trained voices. The band has been giving concerts in the Auditorium. W, W. Hoover, a prominent stockman of Fossil, Gilliam county, is visiting with Dr. F. A.

They went to McM inn ville Wednesday to visit relatives. The attending physician, Dr. F. J. Bailey, reports that M. E. Hotchkiss, who has been ill so long, is holding bis own and resting easily for him, though at times he has bad spells. There is little hope of his recovery, however. Miss Irene Young, who has been spending the past few months visiting her sister, Mrs. E. S. Booth, of Clats- kanie, Ore., returned to her home Wed nesday evening, where she will remain a week before returning to Clutskanie.

The exterior of the residence was decorated with Chinese lanterns and the interior was beautifully illuminated, and decorated with a pro fusion ot roses. Pinned to the walls the several rooms were twenty-eight profile portraits of people well know her, and an assiduous hour was spent in an attempt to name correctly the ori inal of each.

The Oregonian of Wednesday aavs: When court was called nearly all of the men empaneled asked the court to be excused for one reason or another, but only a few were able to convince Judge Gilbert that they had excuses sufficient to warrant their being released from duty. United States District Henev is con ducting the investigation of the jury, and it seems to be certain, from the wit nesses who are being called, that the first case to be considered will be the in dictment of Willard N. Jones, Thaddeus Potter, Daniel Clark and Ira Wade. accused of having induced a number of old soldiers to make fraudulent entries upon government timber land. Tne hall leading to the Jury room was crowded yesterday with witnesses from different parts of the state, indicating that other cases are to be brought be fore the attention of the jury. Many Prineville residents are present, leading to the presumption that Williamson. Gesner and Biggs are to be re-indicted for some offense different from the one under which they are now resting in ex pectation of a third trial. Judging from the witnesses In attend ance, the only things to be considered during the opening days of the jury, at least are the cases of Jones and his as sociates, and of Williamson and his fel low-defendants. It Is expected thst several days will elspse before any in dictments are returned, and it is thought probable that bo reports may be made to the court until the work of the jury has been finished and the body is ready to adjourn. Of Interest to Poultry men. The prospect is that the Poultry De partment of the Portland Exposition is going to be a big thing and that all the beet flocks from Oregon. Washington.
