Hillsboro Independent. E. V. BATH. Editor and Proprietor. At a meeting held in Forest Grove last Saturday the school tax levy was mack at 5 mills, 4 mills for regular expenses and i mill for kinkitn run.!. Th smu"I valua tion of .he district $931,145. The levy last year was 4 mills. The federal grand jury of Des Moines, la., has indicted Sears, Roebuck & Co., the big Chicago mail order house, on a charge of usiiijf the United States mail to de fraud unsuspecting buyers. Thi same firm, through fear ot the pure fool law, were recently forced to close out their grocery department President Roosevelt insists that the pure food law must be obeyed that iu regard to whiskey there is t.ir ,. ti- i -i '"compound" must not be register eil as "whiskey straight," and the contents of the bottle must be just what the revenue stamp calls tor, ami nothing more or less. At a recent meeting of the Na tional Orange, at Hartford, Conn., a resolution favoring woman's suf frage was passed unanimously, Resolutions in favor of woman's suflrage have also been adopted by the state granges of California, Delaware", Illinois, Kentucky, New Yoik, Maine, Minnesota, Mary land, Michigan, New Jersey, Ore gon, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wash' iugton. The pardoning of Ilembre, the S.uullake murderer, bv Gov. Cham beilain has caused a good deal of in dignaut protest from all partsof the state. The jury lefore whom he was tried stood 1 1 to i for conviction of one of the most diabolical mur ders ever ierpetrated in this state, and afier a compromise verdict he was sentenced to ten years. The people of Tillamook feel very sore at the governor for letting Ilembre 1ihi.sc, lor the general verdict there and in Yamhill county is that he should have been hung. State Treasurer Steel filed his new bond demanded by Gov. Cham berlain last Friday and it was sign ed with ninety-two sureties, aggre gating $035,000, just $35,000 more than was demanded. Mr. Steel say that lie lnul been offered dure ty to the amount of 95.000 more. Washington county people on the bond are W. K. Newell, $ 1,000; E. W. Haines, $5,000; M. II. Shipley, $1,000; J. N. Hodman, $r,ooo; John TcmpUton, $2,000; Louis J. Corl, $1,000, and S. U. Starrett, $1,000. One-fourth of the total amount was secured in Salem. Here is a good argument for the building of macadam roads, such as is advocated by County Judge Goodin: A horse belonging to H. liigelow met with a horrible death a few days ago on the Mo lall.i road near Orcgou City. Bige low wis driving a four-horse team after daik, when one of the animals leaped iu the air and giving a shrill scream iu a lew seconds drop pel dead. A sharp pointed plank from the road had tilted up and strut k the animal in the stomach, leiictrating nearly through his lMhly, the point being only a few inches from his back. The Oiegon Klectric Railway commenced operation ltween Port land and Salem last Wednesday lint one car a day will run from each tet initial uutil more equip ment arrives, which will le a week or ten days, when another car will be put on each way, to be followed bv others ns rapidly as needed. The name of the Nations, commencing with Portland are Multnomah, Tu alatin. Tonquiu, Willsonville, Don aid, West 'oodburn. Vaconda and Salem. Single otnw.iV fares are based 011 a 3 cent jer mile rate, but round-trip, commutation and week end tickets are selling at close to a 2-cent jh r mile rate. The fare from Portland to Salem, a distance of 50 miles is $150, or $2 75 for the round trip. The W oodhurn Independent has not given up the hope of Mr. Roose velt's leiioinination, and says: ' Let it not It- understood that President RiHev It's second declination de finitely settles the presidential ques tion in so far as Roosevelt is con cerned. It is not dead bv any means. All Kooscvelt can say will not kill it. Tiie more emphatically lie tiei lines tne more t tie masses wish him to accept. The rumble dies down, then gets louder, be comes a whiper and, as the time ot holdirg the convention draws near er, swells in volume. It is not what Roosevelt wants in this re sped, but what the people, the real masters, want. Why not renomin ate Roosevelt and put him on a platform containing a plank declar ing for one presidential term of six years?" The following from the Boston Herald, should be read by every wage-earner: "The public should be taught the use of checks, and the desirability of opening individ ual bank accounts on which checks can be drawn. There is no reason why wage-earners and salaried em ployes should not be paid by checks and draw upon their deposits by check to suit their needs and re sources. A general practice of this sort would encourage thrift and at the same time familiarize the bulk of the population with the principals of banking, or, at any rate, with the rudimentary principals; would make exchange easier, facilitate circulation, and soundly extend the system of credit, which is the basis of business. That this can he done with benefit to the country and with profit to the banks there can be no doubt, and it is well that the public should become familiar with the idea and its practice." Referring to the great problem of forestry in the United States Presi dent Roosevelt says: "We have made a beginning, but only a be ginning. 1 ne country ts unques tionably on the verge of a timber famine. The only trouble with the movement for the preservation of forests is that it has not gone nearly far enough, and was not begun soon enough. It is a most lortun ate thing, however, that we began it when we did. We should ac quire in the Appalachian and White Mountain regions all the forest lands that it is possible to acquire for the use of the nation. These 1 inds, because they form a national asset, are as emphatically national as the rivers which they feed, and which flow through so many states before they reach the ocean." It is said that under the present pol icies of use and waste, the timber supply of the United States will last probably from twenty to thirty three years. Jack London, who was sent arouud the world by the Woman's Home Companion, one of the very best magazines for women publish ed, visited the lepers of Moloki, on the island of Hawaii, and in the January number of that publication says: "Leprosy is not so contagi ous as is imagined. I went for a week's visit to the leper settlement and I took my wife along all of which would have not happened had we had any apprehension of contracting the disease. Nor did we wear long, gauntleted gloves and keep apart from the lepers. On the contrary, we mingled with them, and before we left knew scores of them by sight and name, The precaution of simple cleanli ness seem to be all that is neces sary. On returning to their own houses, after having been among and handling lepers, thenon lepers, such as the physicians and super intendents, merely wash their faces and hands with mildly antiseptic soap and change their coats." In the past a greater portion of road work in this county has been only of the temporary kind, and while large sums of money has been expended, most of it has been thrown away. Now we do not wish it understood that this waste has been intentional, for we believe that the men who have had the road work in hand have been conscientious, faithful in every respect, and were spending the money as to them seemed best and most economial But they were not building the kind of a road that this country must have if the good-road question is properly solved. It is,' Tiowever, gratifying to know that at last this wasts ot money and hard work is to be stopped. Tigardvitle, Beaver- dam, South Forest Grove and sev eral other places have held special meetings and voted from 2 to 5 mills special tax lor permanent 1m provements on roads in their dis tricts, and this money is all to be spent under the direction and con trol of the county court These districts believe that the only way to get good, permanent roads is for each road district to vote this spe cial tax, in addition to the tax lev ied by the county, build the m ic adamized road, which has already been constructed in parts of the county and proven successful This mnu 01 roua is more expensive than the old sort to build, but in the end tne cheapest, and when completed the taxpayers will have something to show for their money. Everybody knows Tom Richard son, manager of the Portland Com mercial Club, and secretary of the Oregon Development League, and his opinion upon almost any sub iect is valuable and usually correct. A lornier newspaper mau himself, and one who has tried the "patent insides" and the "all home" print method of running a country office, the following from his pen, uude' date of December 30, makes Jus feel that we made no mistake iu going back to all home-print: Mr Richardson says: "My Dear Mr. Bath. I want to congratulate you upon the appearance of Tiik Inde pendent as an all home print paper. It is certainly a big im provement, making Tiik Indepen dent more cf a home newspaper because of the additional space for local an opportunity you have availed yourself of. Your readers should take advantage of the change, and when they want to make presents to friends at a dis tance, send them a copy of The Independent for a year. The paper will henceforth be more of directory of Ilillsboro and Wash iugton county than was possible iu the past. I am sufficiently old fashioned enough, as a former country newspaper mau, to believe that community correspondence is an adjunct of the home paper that is hard to improve upon. Again congratulating you, I am, very truly yours, Tom Richardson." Advice to mothers: Don't let your children waste away.

Salndo bought ono and, having aaaured him self that it was genuine, came to the not unnatural conclusion that these watches could not have been come by houeatly. The vender waa, how ever, a giant, and Haludo waa by do mean blexsed with large proportions. n furthermore argued that there were confederate amoug that group. In a minute or two be had formed a plan. He asked the man to take a glass of wine, saying that be meant to purchase another wutch. The offer was accepted, and a fecund watch was tendered, which Kalmlo pretended to examine. He, however, auddeuly took to hi bevls, watch in hand. There upon the vender pursued, crying: "Stop thief!" When Salndo got him a fur a the police station, ho turned around, clutched the other by the throat and, to the great astonishment of every ene, led hi captive Inside. 25,000 New Words are added to the last edition of Web-1 (ster's Jnternntionul Dictionary.
