THE STEAMBOAT
CRATER SQUEALS

Again the "Standpat" sheet Is try
ing to justify its crooked ways ana
make them sound like the truth when
in reality 1t is full of that filthy graft
which is characteristic of such a rag
The deal which 1t has slipped over the
county commissioners and which
looks SO raw in the eyes of the peo-
pie, now they are trying to drag this
paper 4 lo the same bottomless pit
Our bid for publishing the delinquent
tax list and the legal notices is on
file I'm the county clerks office so
what is the use of telling "A falsehood
about this bid? Amt you wise enough
to see that We will pin you to the wall
on these things unless you stick to the
truth? We stated that our price per
line for publishing legal notices was
an average of three cents per line. In
publishing the sample ballot we did
not figure on this the same as legal
notice, but let us sec what the Post
charged the previous election when
they had the county printing for this
same sort of publication; the records
show 100000 while our price accord
ing to their statement was only $62.4O
Now regarding the paving question
Mr. Hicks. you don't publish legible
papers enough to make the people OF
this city believe that the Herald is
opposed to such improvements, and
II you know anything about newspap-
er courtesy you would know that
every paper ought to have the good
sense to publish the other papers
article as 1t appeared in his paper or
else leave 1t alone. This Is not the
first time you have stopped to things
unbecoming gentleman to try and
queer this paper because you are
jealous of our success and your own
failure is apparent. Such rot as you
printed In your last editorial column
about e'he Citizen only hurts you and
is scarcely noticed by the public In
general-Provo Herald.

Small Crowd Hears Concert.

A chilly breeze and an Indepen-
dence magnet, so tits said. furnished
the excuse for small audience which
listened to the regular Saturday even
ing band program. The mid-season
of hop-picking may have also contrib
uted to the Scantiness of the attend
ance. For the same reasons the
strength of the band might have been
lessened. However. the concert was
one that met the approval of the
crowd. Prof. W. E. Caldwell's un-
named march which headed the pro-
gram seemed to please many. This is
Prof. Caldwell 'ssecond composition for
the Dallas band and connoisseurs agree
that the second is the better one. The
directors and members are now plan
ming to tend their best efforts
toward making a strong series of con-
certs for the county fair. At that
time all the members will. naturally,
be free from the every day affairs that
take them from the citv and the full
complement of the organization may
be expected for the three big days
this month,

Speed and Spirits.

A head-on collision between two au-
tomobiles on the road south of Inde-
pendence icame very nearly resulting
fatally to the occupants of the cars,
which were badly damaged on Friday
night. The cars were duplicates in de-
sign and were going rapidly in oppo-
site directions when they came togeth-
er. One of the machines was driven
by a Mr.. Smith, saloonkeeper at
Sublimity, and the other car was oc-
cupied by party of Corvallis people.
The accident occurred near midnight
and at dawn those who figured in the
accident were still on the roadside, ar
guing claims for damages. All need
ed assistance in finding a straight
course back to Independence. The re-
pairs on each of the damaged cars will
cost several hundred dollars.

Ranch Well Guarded.

Because of the many threats that
have been made and because of incen-
diary trouble in a number of other
yards, Major W. L. Rose, manager
of the Wigan-Richardson hop yard
near Independence has placed armed
guards at all entrances to the ranch.
Without a permit from the manage
ment, and that obtainable only when
your business inside the fences is
specified, admittance to the yard is
denied. The most careful watch is
being kept on all property and on
all persons who go or come in the
yard. Major Rose does not intend,
if it can be prevented. to have any
more such destructive fires as visited
his place last week, consuming two
barns and five horses.

Not Really Married.

A persistent rumor circulated this
week has brought many congratula-
tions to Roy Finseth, wishing him
years of happiness and welded bliss,
but that young man is as persistent
in his denial of conditions as the ru-
NOR is affirmative. The evidence is
all against Mr.. Finseth, who left Dal-
las late last week to go to the Nation
al guard rife meet at Clackamas. He
did not appear at the shoot, however,
and his friends reported that he had
gone to Vancouver to pledge away his
single state. Things seem a bit twist
ed, but in fairness to both parties we
must allow Mr.. Finseth the benefit of
the doubt.

INSPECTION OF CITY PARK.
Landscape Gardeners Praise Plot and
Suggest Development Plan.

J. G. Bacher of the Swiss Floral
company, Portland, with his very cap
able foreman, directed by j. C. Rick
Ii Of this city, viewed and inspected
the city park grounds on Sunday
evening. The visiting landscape ar
fists we're very .favorably impressed
with the natural advantages of this
admirably situated tract, to which
Mr.. Rickli directed attention in his
preliminary report. While it is too
early to communicate exact details, it
was found that through the construc-
tion of a comparatively inexpensive
dam, lined with stout timber, the ad-
jacent water supply could be convent
emily carried through the park. The
creek bed will also provide excellent
material for the building of good park
roadways and by screening some of
the gravel they can be made very
neat and firm. 1t was the opinion Of
the three gentlemen that the major
portion of the tract to within a short
distance west of the band stand
should be surfaced, i. e., worked over
with plow, scraper, and harrow. Then
part of the road system could be laid
out and the park seeded to grass.
The matter of a picturesque fountain
was also given consideration In this
connection an irregular basin is to be
excavated and lined with material
from the creek bed and cement.
Bearing in mind the natural advan-
tages of the park tract" says Mr..
Rickli, "to allow this public play
ground to remain indefinitely in its
present condition would reflect unfa-
upon community spirit.p

Resignation Refused.

Late last month Captain Conrad
Stafrin sent his resignation as com
manding officer, Company L, o. N. G..
to Adjutant General George A.
White, asking that he be relieved of
military duty because of the stress
of his private business matters and
those of his store. The captain was
surprised last week when his careful
ly prepared document was returned
to him unaccepted The adjutsnt
general seemed to think that the cap
tain could give up business, or per-
haps he, like the men who have been
in Captain Stafrin's company since
he took command here, appreciate a
hard and faithful worker, a good
soldier and a gentleman, too much to
let little things prevent his retention.

Hogs Cause Disease.

Since the first case Of foot and
mouth disease found in herd of hogs
in Michigan, which later permitted
the infection of the Chicago stock
yards. hogs more than any other ami
NAL have been responsible for the
spread of the disease, says the depart
ment of agriculture.
The susceptibility of swine to the
foot and mouth disease and the fail
ure on the part of swine owners to
recognize its symptoms are giving the
federal authorities no small amount
of worry in their cleanup" cam
paign.
