FAST FORGING FORWARD,

Idaho is one of the best watered states in America. People are moving there because hot winds and destructive storms are un- known and because tsmatchless climate generates physical and mental vigor and guarantees good health.
 Idaho has rapidly grown in popularity during the past five years and settlers in it's irrigated valleys have met with more than ordinary success. This fact has induced a large influx of eastern capital in the state, with the re- suit that it's growth has been rapid.
 If you have in mind a change for the general improvement of your condition in life. or if you are seeking a climate beneficial to health Idaho will meet these requirements.
 The easiest in fact the only direct route to Idaho points is via the Union Pacific. This road runs two daily trains from Oma- ha and two trains daily from Chicago and Kansas City to all points in Idaho, Montana and the great Northwest.

LETTER TO MIR. c. LOVELY
 GRANT, NEWPORT, ARK.

Dear Sir: As your business is to get people into and out of trouble, suppose you consider their paint; it makes 'em almost as much trouble as money, ex- cept of course matrimony.
 They buy poor paint good deal; they don't mean to; they don't know any better, they buy without thinking. Bad paint isn't good. It looks good enough for a year; then begins to get rusty, but changes so slowly one don't notice it.
 Looking isn't all. The busi- ness of paint is to keep a house dry inside, the wood and iron of it; keep it from rotting and rust ing. Takes good paint to do it.
 Good and bad paint are sold at one price or about that. One can't go by the price at all; as with lawyers, the price has noth- ing to do with goodness and bad ness; and costs are worse yet; the painter and sheriff come in for their share.
 But the probability is that a man who paints Devoe will come out on top. Yours truly F. w. DEvoE & Co.,, New York and Chicago.

NOTICE TO
 FOREIGN SUBSCRIBERS.

After December 1, 1904, the Independent will be sent outside of Jackson county only on sub- scriptions paid in advance, and will beastopped upon the expira- tion of the time for which they are paid.
 Subscribers will be notified two weeks prior to the expiration of tnelr subscription, and prompt renewals will cause no skips in receiving the"paper.
 Our outside mailing list has reached those proportions which make this step necessary to pro- tect ourselves, and we feel that the change will not. be objection able, but ratherssssin accordance with the wishes of our outside readers,
 The Independent, has only one subscription price, $1.00.a year for the Weekly, and 40 cents per month for the Daily, but the postal charge for papers to out side addresses, warrants us in requiring these subscriptions to be paid in advance.
 This does not apply to any postoffice in Jackson county, or such towns as Bradford, Alicia, Minturn, Newark, in closely con- tiguous territory.
 The White River road bed is | in fine shape from Cotter to Newport, having been ballasted all the way, and trains make as fast time as those on tbe Iron Mountain and Frisco! Cotter Courier.

 BABY CONTEST.

Here is the proposition and the rules governing the contest:
 There is a handsome $25.00 solid gold locket with diamond setting and solid gold chain, on display at the Palace Jewelry store, to be given away Decem- Der 24th, 1904, to the baby boy or girl under two years of age, who wins the highest number of votes as the prettiest and sweet est baby. Now the baby that is not pretty is surely sweet, and if the wee tot be a little cross at times, beauty must offset this badness. Fond parents at least are expected to think their ba- bies are both sweet and beauti- lful, and so they do. But to set tie once for all the claims of the under two. and put at rest this rivalry of mothers and fathers, the Independent has inaugurated a contest that is to be determined by that cherished right, popular ballot, and in accordance with the following rules:
 BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
 First No baby that has reach ed the age of two years Nov. I, 1904, is eligible to this contest, nor shall any employe or party connected with this paper be eli gible to vote.
 Second Every issue of the Daily and Weekly Independent from November 1 to December "A, will contain a ballot emitting the holder to one vote in this contest. For every dollars worth of job, work, advertising and subscription paid for between these dates a coupon good for ten votes will be issued, but no cou- pons will be issued for sums less than $1.00. Coupons will not be sold, and will only be issued for job, ad and subscription busi- ness, but extra copies of the h. dependent at 2 cents per copy, each containing one ballot, will be sold at this office.
 Third All votes must be sent to this office and will be de- posted in a lock box. to be opened at 8 o'clock each publication day and counted. The daily issue of that afternoon will contain the total of the several candidates and the public will thus be kept informed of the voting each day.
 Fourth A committee of three good business men will be select ed to canvass the ballots the morning of Dec. 24 and announce the winner. All ballots must be deposited at this office by II a. m., Dec. "A, 1904.
 Read the rules carefully.
