To Hillsboro Completed. .With the complexion of the track crossing at Fourth and Stark streets, work on which was begun Tuesday morning, the United Railways will have seven miles of its line completed with in the city limits and the city link of the Hillsboro line will be ready for operation. As soon as the city council will permit certain changes in the franchise held by the United Railways, work will be continued extending the line over the hill to the westward of the city. En gineering work on this part of the line is now under way, and fully $30,000 worth of material is waiting in the yards for the resumption of construction. The section of track from the city limits to Mount Calvary cemetery, a distance of four miles, is the hardest problem the company has to solve, because of the heavy grades, but it is ex pected that this strip will be completed before fall, as work will be begun within the next few weeks. Before the week is over the line will be extended out Maca dam street, so as to tap the thriving South Portland manu facturing district.

Editor Independent: Below I give you the contents of a letter sent to me by a reader of your paper: Portland, Feb. 21. -Dear Mr. Yates: I thank you for sending me a copy of The Independent containing your letter on the present economic condition of the United States. It is certainly a strong indictment I take it as a remarkable coincidence that on the other side of the sheet of the paper there is an article showing the immense growth of wealth in the country, and showing that the per capita wealth of the nation has quad rupled in a little over fifty years. This is certainly phenominal in the history of nations, and would be a matter of national pride were the distributipn such as to give to those who produced it a fair show of the benefits that should come irom it. liut not only is that not the case, but the accum- mulation of the most of it in the hands of a few, giving them con trol of the destiny of the nation, makes it a menace to the com mon people in many ways, among which is that feeling of security in the possession of what they have got or may be able to get by their industry a feeling wide spread to-day in the land, though not finding concrete expression to any great extent. Take the reported threat of J. P. Morgan, for instance, that the working- men of the nation must be taught to be satisfied with whatever wages their employers fix for them. If this were carried out, and there is no doubt but that capitalists by combining could carry it out, it would mean a great shrinkage in the value of nearly everything owned by pro ducers of wealth and a loss to many a poor man of his home. For how many are there who have bought homes on the in stallment plan, or have them mortgaged, that such a policy would not rob or ruin. In view of these circumstances, it be hoves every man to give thought to these things and "call a halt" thereto by "intelligent voting." Truly yours, Thomas Kidd. For Sale.
