Two Candidates For Overseer.
 The Independent is authorized and takes pleasure in announcing the candidacy of two of our best Union township farmers, George Foushee and J. c. Hogan, as candidates for road overseer. subject to the action of the March 25 Primary.
 There is hardly one thing about these two gentlemen that could not be as truthfu1ly said of the other. Each has his closest friends of course, but the most of our citizens are believ- CTS in both. ,-..1, :,
 They know how to farm and should know how to handle the road problems. They are ener- getic, capable and persevering. Both have been successful and enjoy the esteem of the people. We bespeak for the candidacy of each, the respectful consid eration of the voters.

EARTHQUAKE
In March Adds to the Plight of
japanese Poor Who Suffer
from Famine.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 40
The plight of poor Japanese in the
north who have been suffering IRON
famine has been. increased by Cne
disastrous earthquake OF March
which caused great devastation In
a zone Of about 20 miles square
around Akita on the island OF Hon
do. The city of Atkia was damaged
only slightly but in the country nine
towns and forty-one villages were
seriously damaged, some villages be-
ing entirely annihlated. About l.
600 houses were comp etely destroy
ed and about 100 persons were XIII
ed, according to the latest reports.
The earthquake came at dawn.
The motion was horizontal at first,
but after twenty seconds turned into
a violent perpendicular movement
greatly increasing in velocity until
If broke the seismographs. The up
ward movement, which is parttcu-
larly feared in Japan, caused nun

scores of people were crushed 20

getting out. rushed to the railroad
in an attempt to escape from the
earthquake belt, but found the ralls

opened In the streets from WHICH
rose a cloud of dust and debris.

ROCKY POINT FIRE QUITS.

Portland, Aug. 20.-After fighting a
forest fire at Rocky Point, nine miles
north of Linnton, for six hours yester-
day, Sheriff Word and Deputy Sheriffs
Wise and Curtis, with 20 prisoners from
Kelly Butte, returned to Portland last
night. The flames are at least tenn
porarily under control, reports Sheriff
Word. The fire, Mr.. Word said, leaped
as high as IS feet from one tree to
another, and falling trees made the fire
fighting dangerous. Most of the terri
tory burned yesterday was logged-off

two miles distant, and the greatest
