W. Blakeley, of the state board of Pharmacy, is making a tour of Western Oregon, gather ing evidence as to violation of the pharmacy law. He says that many drug stores are being con ducted in viola Am of the statute, and that prosecutions will be brought unless the offenses cease. He is now at Corvallis, where it is said the druggists have become a trifle careless. Daniel Stoller and family of Helvetia, who have been resi dents of that section for the past thirty-five years, moved to Port land last Tuesday, where Mr. Stoller has purchased a home. He says that he has lived in Washington county so long, and ikes the surroundings so well that he believes it will be only a short time before he will return to live. In fact they all feel that way. At the masquerade at Peter Nelson's place Saturday evening, there was a large attendance. A good many went out from town and every one reports having a good time. The prizes were awarded to Mrs. Albert Keenan and John McNew. The lady was dressed as an Indian and her costume was pronounced the best in the room. The gentleman re presented an old man, and it was decided to be the best sustained character. Carl Heidel has purchased an interest in the Climax Mill and will act as secretary and treasur er. .Mr. Heim. of Benton coun ty, formerly a resident of Cornel ius, is president and George Ceitz- man. whose home is three miles north of Hillsboro. and Mrs. F, Smith, and a Mr. Smith, who have been part owners in the mill property since it was estab lished, are the other stockhold ers. The mill is doing a good business, its products are known all over the country as the best and under the new arrangement this reputation will be sustained. Mr. Heidel is the son of V. M. Heidel who has been employed by the railroad company in an orf.cial capacity at Hood PJver and other points, and thoroughly understands the duties he has assumed. In the "candidate's column" it will be noticed that Supt Case comes out for nomination for school superintendent his sec ond term, and there will probably be no opposition. Mr. Case has brought the school of Washing ton county up to a point where they are looked upon as among the best in the state, and his services are needed at this time 1 to keep them going along with the advanced methods of educa tion now prevailing in Oregon. He promises every body a "square deal and his best services." There was a heavy frost Wed nesday night which gave us the first real taste of winter this sea son. At St Paul Minn., the termometer registered 30 below zero and at Bismarck the mer cury slipped down to 36 below. The roses blooming in the yards in and around Hillsboro are hold ing their own and do not seem to notice the cold wave to any extent l esterday was an ideal day one of the kind our East ern friends enjoy in May, but nothing unusual in glorious old Oregon any day in Januarv. to cause public coiwr.er.t and scan dal in the coxaur.ity where the plaints resicea He left British and broucht with him n:s three daughters.

He asks the court to sever the bonds that bind him to his wife and award him the care tr.d custody of the minor children, and such other relief as to the court may seem proper, under the circumstances. Barbara Anbs wants the court to separate her from Peter An- kos. whom she rr.arried in 1903 at Lippa. Hgary. Shortly thereafter, in &v. 1Cj3, he aban doned her and willfully deserted her, and such desertion has con tinued for more than one year prior to this complaint She has been obliged to support herself I without any assistance from her husband, and she wishes to make the desertion and abandonment permanent " The following persons have fil ed with County Clerk Godman their petitions to become candi dates on the republican ticket at the coming primary election for the respective office set opposite their names: Geo. M. Hunter, justice of the peace, of North Hillsboro precinct John McClaran, for county commissioner. W. M. Jackson, county trea surer. E. J. Godman. county clerk. M. C. Case, county school sup erintendent Max Crandall, cour.ty assessor. Postmaster Cornelius wishes The Independent to call atten tion to the practice of some pat rons of rural delivery of nlacir.tr loose coins in their boxes each time they desire to send letters instead of supplying themselves with postage in advance of their needs. This practice imposes un due hardship on rural carriers in removing loose coins from boxes and delays them on the sen-ice of their routes. The postmaster, therefore, urgently requests that patrons of rural deliver' provide themselves with and in advance of their needs. It is also very desirable that rural patrons place in their mail boxes small detach able cups of wood or tin in which to place coins, when necessarv. in purchasing supplies of stamp's. I have a few pieces of China ware that will be sold at a very low price to close out the line. They consist of cream pitchers. cups and saucers, bread and milk sets, small tea sets and china images. Mrs. L Bath. Letter From California. A letter to a friend in this city from Mrs. W. O. Donelson who with her husband is making a tour of Southern California, un der date of Fresno, January 26, says: "Thought I would drop you a line about our travels. We found plenty of snow on our way over the jkvou and bhasta mountains, still not cold, but clear. We ran into rain in the Sacramento alley and by the time we reached the Bay and crossed to Port Costa it was rain ins auite brisk. The state has been blessed with considerable rain, as there w as water every where, but it is not muddy, as the roads are oilei. and I certain ly envy the people' here their drives. We stepped over here last night and after a good nizht's sleep took a street car ride of six miles, where an auto met us, and with twelve others. we crot in for another six miles drive to a town named Clovis; vineyards on all sides, with palm trees, making the road a beauti ful one. I saw w hat is said to be the largest flume in the world, sixty mi.es long, and carries water for irritation. This is a pretty city and has fine buildings. mostly of stone ar.d brick. There are plenty of pai, orange, lem on and other troj ical trees, but they have no lawns nor flowers. though they cairn the largest rose bush in the world. But the palms are certainly beautiful, some as tall as f our-story build ing, and of all varieties. Bicy cles are used by both sexes, but we do not see the beautiful hor ses for driving we have back home. e evening at 6:20 for Los Ar.jreies and ex pect to find everything flooded with water, ai we are told it rained very hard there yesterday. Fresno has a population of 27.0UO. Will write more ter on." I have moved rr.y shoe shop to my residence on Third street known as the U rn.

Valentine post cards in a large assortment o -w uina ' at Mrs. Bath's. bmok:ng cigarettes, racing the streets and in numerous other bad boy of V AW- - ear-old Lruce Donelson in the coys ar.d Girls Home in Portland. and it is hope that in the change from the street to the influences and training of the Home he wii: devtlope into a good and useful man. For after seeir.i? him the court room, and listening to his story w hich Assistant District Attorney Wall drew from the lad. little at a time, and by kind words and much pursuasion, we are of the firm belief that the boy is not altogether bad. and that in his new home and sur rounded by altogether different influences he will turn out a good citizen and some day look back to his present trouble as the best days of his young life. But there is no denying the fact that for some time past Bruce has been going the pace that leads to the penitentiary. He has been using tobacco, keeping late hours on the streets, carrying a 44 in one pocket and a 32-calabre revolver in another, while a goodly sup ply of cigarettes kept both com pany. One day last week he over heard Olive Choate. who is stop ping with his grandparents, Mr, and Mrs. Amos Donelson, say that she had concealed in her bed some $40. The tempter got to work on Bruce at once, and like many a person older in years, he could not resist and he had soon made that roll look just $7 small er. With this money he bought the 44-caIabre revolver, a goodly supply of shells and the ever needed cigarettes. To Charles Doughty, aged 2S; Leslie Dough ty, aged 17, and George Wash ington, aged lo, boon compan ions of the lad, and not one whit better than he. he told of his 'find." And right here is where the older Doughty gets in his fine hand. He tells Bruce that if he will go back and get the rest of the money and give it to him. they will shake the mud of lillsboro from their feet and the whole bunch "go on the road" and become b-a-d men. It must have been a glowing picture the elder Doughty painted, for Bruce returned to the house, took the rest of the money, a $20 gold piece and a $10 bill, and to make sure that he would merit the ap proval of the man who put up the job, stole MissChoate's gold watch. The plunder was deliv ered to Charles Doughty, who told the lad to get ready to fly. But Doughty didn't wait for Bruce to pack his worldly effects, but hit the Baseline road for Portland, leaving the boy with out a cent to face the officers of the law alone, and unless he has been captured very recently, he is either "blowing in" his ill gotten gains in Portland's North End or is still hitting the trail. Bruce was arrested, and of course, gave up the whole story, at no time attempting to shield himself. He admitted that he was a bad boy, told of his life since he was 5 years old, inform ed Mr. Wall of whom he bought the cigarettes and revolver, and Judge Goodin ordered him taken . in charge by the Boys and Girls Aid Society, where he was taken Tuesday. Leslie Doughty was before the , . r .1 ,Um same court tui iurxner uiaa knowing that Bruce had taken the money, nothing was brought out His father was on tne suinu and admitted that he had got be yond his control: would not work except when he was with him: pent his money foohshiy and used tobacco in spite of ail he could do. He told the court that he would like to have the boy under restraint As there was no charge sufficient to send him to the reform school. Sheriff Kane was appointed his guardian anireL with instructions to Mir.g him up standing at the first mis step, when his father's wishes will undoubted.y oe corr.,...eu with. Your.ir Leslie promised Judge Goodin that he would mind his father, go to work, and if permitted to depart he would go "right straight home ana De- have himself. To show that he was sincere and a boy of his word, he went directly from the court room to the Second street livery stable, and leaning up Prointe Court. against the outside of the barn.
