There are some peo ple so fortunate in the possession of means that the gift of any kind of weariug apparel would be distasteful to them; but for the great majority of men and women and children there are certain little things procur able that are real luxuries, and are a source of happiness. We suggest some ot these inexpensive articles for gifts, most of which are priced specially W. L. Douglas Shoes for Men. "The problem for the bishops and clergy of Oregon today is not that which is supposed to be long to a 'wild and woolly West,' but the problem of trying to make the Christian religion and good citizenship keep pace with the remarkable commercial de velopments.

Our readers will probably notice that The Independent is all home print this week, that the big display of patent medicine ads are missing, and the life size portrait of Wise, the Tooth Butcher, has been removed. In explanation, and we believe our readers will side with us, we desire to say: On October 1st the four news papers in Washington county, and in fact about every paper in Oregon using patent insides, or ready prints as they are called, advanced the price of their pub lications from $1 to $1.50 a year. This they were force to do because the sharks who control the price of print paper pushed the price up a notch or two every time the moon changed, until publishers were compelled to raise the sub scription or go out of business. The auxiliary house, (the place where the patents are printed) hearing of this action on the part of the publishers, wrre at once seized with a severe attack of "wolf itch" and on Saturday last all publishers using "patent insides" received a circular from the manager, which read: "We have lately signed a con tract for a year's supply of paper for our ready print department The price of paper has advanced 3-4 of a cent the Typographical Union has increased its scale 110 per cent and the general running expenses have also shown a heavy increase and we find we are com pelled to increase the price of ready prints." And the raise is not a three- quarters of a one-cent one, but they put the screws to us to the tune of 2 cents on every quire, so that the 50-cents raise on our subscription price is more than eaten up by the "patent inside" octopus. And there is another thing our readers do not know, and it is the fact that publishers do not and never have received a single cent for the five or six columns of advertising run weekly on the patent side of the paper. These advertisements are pretty much all for patent medicine 'slush, such as "S. S. S," 'Teruna," "Ayers Pills," the "Chinese Doctor," "Cheney's Catarrh Cure, " and a dozen or more of like nature, and are a nightmare to every publisher who has used the patents, and who have been try ing for years to get the ready print house to cut them out, but without success, for thi3 class of advertising is a genuine gold mine to them, as few country newspapers will accept medicine ads at any price, unless they are reliable and of some worth, and this can be said of but few of them. And for this reason the patent dope, men seek the ready print houses and by pacing a good round sum get their an nouncements published in papers whose owners would not give them space at any price. For the reasons stated above we have discontinued the patents and The Independent will be printed all at home in the future. If four pages are not enough for advertising and the news of city and county, and that of a gen eral nature, we shall increase the number to six, eight or ten if need be, and w hat money is saved by getting away from the "patent insides" and patent med icine vultures will be used in im proving our office and giving our readers a better paper.

Keep people alert and wary, Yet ye'll be treated well ye ken At Palmateer's Confectionery. L. J. Palmateer, Prop. 1907 rings down the curtain during a rapidly disappearing un easiness, with the people in a hesitating mood regarding imme diate investments, but at the same time it has been the most wonderful year the Pacific North west ever enjoyed. In no other twelve months was there so much money brought into the country from the wheat crop; fruit scored its biggest success, lumber added many more mil lions of dollars than ever before; the same is true of the products of the dairy, while the grower of poultry has nothing to complain of. We are rich and prosperous, in epit of the fact that there ap pears to be a stringency, more a matter of mind than reality. Let us quit bemoaning imaginary troubles, inspire confidence and get ready to eclipse in 1908 our past year's record, wonderful as it has been.
