badly bruised eye, the result of snow
ball carelessly administered during the
recent freeze up.
Jefferson has this year grown to be
one Of the heaviest potato shipping
points in the valley. Thousands of bush-
els have come in from the bottom lands
in Marion and Linn counties. This has
given considerable work and been the
means Of circulating liberal sums of
money. Many carload OF prunes aud
apples have also been ehipped from this
point. This has brought great deal Of
money into the community, aud is only
starter in the way of making Jeffer-
son THE coming produce market Of the
upper valley.

Mr. +. w. Hazard, of Iowa, who is 10

successful career as Cashier of substan.
tial Iowa bank for over fifteen years, and
Jefferson feels very much encouraged by
the prospect Of this and other business
enterprises that are sure 20 follow. The
presence of bank here will enable farm.
ers to get the cash for their produce
right at home, and will increase the
local trade not lite. The fact that

the most impUr ant factor to be consid.
cred IN the proposition, and one that
makes our people more than pleased to
welcome the new institution into our
midst.

Salem Woolen Mills, Jos. Cordingly, the
maeter mechanic, and Emil Hoppe,
foreman OF the weave room, all of the
Salem Woolen Mills. These three gen.
tlemen are strong team and will 10
doubt build up GOOD business. They
have for years held their responsible
positions at Salem, and will prove n
loss to their present employers.
1t 10 practically understood that a
saloon is to be opened across the river
frsm Jefferson, on the Linn county eide,
which 1t is feared will be even worse than
to have such an institution in the town
and the 500 license will be paid to Linn
county, whereas the patronage will lie
taken from our town.
At the recent school election an in-
creased tax was voted for schuol pur
poses, by large majority, and no stone
