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 befstopped upon the expira
tion of the time for which they
are paid.
Subscribers will be notified two
weeks prior to the expiration of
tneir subscription, and prompl
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 rather!in accordance
with the wishes of our outside
readers,
The Independent’ has only one
subscription price, $1.00„ia 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
i tiguous territory.
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 its matchless
climate generates physical and
mental vigor and guarantees
| good health.
! Idaho has rapidly grown in
| popularity during the past five
| years and settlers in its irrigated
I valleys have met with more than
1 ordinary success. This fact has
induced a large influx of eastern
capital in the state, with the ve
sult that its growth has been
rapid.
If you have in mind a change
for the general improvement of
your condition in life, or if y9U
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.

INDEPENDENTS
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
ber 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
i are expected to think their ba
' bies are both sweet and beauti
ful, and so they do. But to set
tle once for all the claims of the
under two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
! the Independent has inaugurated
j a contest that is to be determined
by that cherished right, popular
ballot, and in accordance with
i the following rules:
BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
First—No baby that hasreach
i ed the age of two years Nov. 1,
11904, is eligible to this contest,
I nor shall any employe or party
I connected with this paper be eli
gible to vote.
Second—Every issue of the
i
l Daily and Weekly Independent
J from November 1 to December
124, will contain a ballot entitling
the holder to one vote in this
contest. For every dollar’s 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
j than $1.00. Coupons will not be
sold, and will only be issued for
I job, ad and subscrpition busi
I ness, but extra copies of the In
| dependent at 2 cents per copy,
each containing one ballot, will
j be sold at this office.
Third—All votes must be sent
to this office and will be de
; posited 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 11 a.
m., Dec. 24, 1904.
Read the rules carefully.
