DECLARE INTENTION TO PAVE
Independence Council Starts Some
thing That May Be Stopped.

AT a meeting OF the independence
councilmen last Saturday evening thai
body declared its intention to pave
c street from Second to Seventh, the
improvement to consist of four-incf
concrete base with an inch and half
wearing surface of asphalt, sand and
crushed rock, the price being about
$40 per square yard. The improve
ment is identically the same as that
constructed last year on Monmouth
and other thoroughfares in that city,
for which $1.15 was paid The con
tract for the improvement has been
awarded to Glen E. Kibbe & company
of Portland, provided the council S
declaration stands without remon-
strance, which seems to be improbable.
From information at hand, there ap-
pears to be marked opposition to the
proposed improvement, and remon-
STRANGE on the part of property own
ers abutting the improvement may kill
the measure. Councilmen Goetz and
Paddock, who were elected on what
was known as an anti-paving platform,
voted against the paving project.
Not, it is said, because they are op-
posed to municipal betterments, but
because of the fact that prior to the
election they were pledged to support
only such street improvements as were
initiated by property owners whose
was to be benefited by the
There is no inconsiderable discus
sion of the proposition at Indepen-
dence, majority of the aldermanic
body favoring the improvement while,
it is said, a majority of the "front-
age" is feminist it. The outcome will
not be determined until the date set
for hearing remonstrances.

CONSIDER These Things
Sanitation in Laundry Work Is of Ut
most Importance.

While sanitation is being considered
in divers and sundry other things
have you ever thought of its impor-
tance in connection with your laun-
dry!
Have you ever considered how much
more sanitary clothing dried in en-
closed dry rooms are as compared to
those dried in the open, where they
catch the numerous germs with which
the air is laden?
We comply fully with the BARRIERS
law, which is an exceptionally good
one, making it compulsory that all
towels be boiled for a period of TWEEN
ty minutes and dried within an en-
closed room, not only with our bar
bers' work but with all other work
entrusted to our care.
The campaign to eliminate the fly
in order to prevent disease in the
community is very commendable and
should receive the support and en-
dorsement of all, but why go only
half way in the attempt to maintain
SanltatlOnG
Why shoe the fly into the deadly trap
for fear it will contaminate your food
and yet permit garments over which
this disease breeding insect has per-
ambulated possibly half the day to
come in immediate contact with your
person, and upon which germs are
waited by the midsummer breeze TO
an inappreeiable degree9
The Dallas Steam Laundry is mod
ernly equipped with the most improv-
ed sanitary devises known to the bus
mess, and is a safeguard against in
fection of any kind or nature. 1t
has cost us money to do this, but is
demanded by people who know, and
we have met that demand, feeling that
the best is none too good for our trade.
Think of these things-they are
important.

Signs have already appeared-sign
of the hunting season, which is nea
at hand. Signs of good season
too. Over the hills and mountains
at about this time of year, hovers |
sort of mist, visible only to the som
of Nimrod. 1t is not inert, bu
strangely beckons. By those who have
the eyes to see and grace of under
standing it is called "the spirit Of

tains. One was seeing the same sun.

"I don't see anything in sunset, "
complained the tourist.
"But don't you wish you could p
said Whistler.
The spirit Of hunting, perhaps,
will some day be embodied in marble
the masterpiece of Borglum. The
zest and exhilaration of the hunt are
not to be known vicariously, by proxy.
They are learned only through exper-
ience, but it doesn't take very long.
After the first hunting trip there is no
cure for the malady that results. Some
friend of yours, for example. He
disappeared into the woods with rifle
and camping kit, and when he came
back he was different man. His
beard was shocking. He never acted
the same again. Like Barkis, how
ever, he was q willin victim; and
every year when the fever comes and
he takes to the hard miles and crook
ed trails, there is no holding him back.
The best thing you can do is to go
along with your hunter-friend. You
can easily get your doctor to advise
it.
Now is the hunters time Of antici-
patton. 1t is the time when the Office
Gagged men has hallucnations even in
business hours. He looks out of the
window and sees a herd Of mountain
deer feeding in their sky pastures.
His ear catches the far drumming of
a partridge. He knows of happy
hunting-ground that he could reach
by train. A railroad timetable, bear
ing evidence of much use, is locked
in drawer of his desk, and with it
lies a copy of the game laws.
The boss is similarly affected, so
he doesn't notice that anything is
the matter. Go home with either man
and you find that some room in the
house looks like sporting goods
store, and all through dinner you
know that he is thinking Of camp
menu of grouse, trout and venison.
Finally, after all the necessary small
talk, he discovers that you belong to
the hunting fraternity. That settles
it. Big-talk, then, for the rest of the
evening, and nothing else After din
her your host makes you examine his
Remington, aim it and look through
