and his store ere in at Lone

leaving nothing for himself nor
his former partner, Mr.. Spry.

Over 1000 Subscribers

The Independent will begin the
new year with more than 1000
subscribers and the year 1904
will dawn upon US with a bright
future. Considering that the
paper is less than two years old,
this means much. 1t not only
means a vast amount of tall
hustling, but it means that our
friends have been at work with
us. The price OF the paper being
but one dollar year, is within
the reach Of everyone. And the
people recognize this paper as
being fully as good if not better
than any $50 paper published
in the northwest. It is not the
habit Of the Independent to brag,
but do want to tell facts which
many have some bearing. Mer-
chants, when you wish to abver-
tise anything, bear in mind our
circulation. Our books are open
to inspection.

Nine successful novels recently pub

sale Of over 100000 copies. Since
the average weight Of each book sold
was probably twenty ounces, . little

1,0O0. 900 pounds of paper. A manu-.
Saeturer Of paper asserts that tho aver
