A Wondrous and Awe-Inspiring
Product of Nature, Found
Only in California.
California’s attraction are
mostly of its own kind, peculiai
to its kind and of none is this sc
emphatically true as that unique
product, the big trees. The age
of these colossi is from 1,500 tc
2,000 years.
The Mariposa grove, whicl
can be visited while en rout*
to the Yosemite, contains som*
of the largest. In the Calaverai
grove are from ninety to on*
hundred of huge size. Neu.
Santa Cruz is a beautiful grov*
of redwood big trees, which wil
well employ a day’s pleasant visit
These can be best reached by tin
Union Pacific, whose fast trains
? from Missouri river reach Cali
I
fornia 16 hours ahead of all com
petitors.

j NOTICE TO
FOREIGN SUBSCRIBERS.
After December 1, 1904, the
I Independent will be sent outside
of Jackson county only on sub
I scriptions paid in advance, and
will belstopped upon the expira
tion of the time for which they
i are paid.
I 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, $1.002a year
for the Weekly, and 40 cents per
month for the Daily, but the
postal cjharge 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.
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
valleys have met with more than
ordinary success. This fact has
induced a large influx of eastern
capital in the state, with the re
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 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
J the Union Pacific. This road
! runs two daily trains from Oma
j ha and two trains daily from |
; Chicago and Kansas City to all
j points in Idaho, Montana and
the great Northwest.

scriptive information inquire of

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
badnesk. Fond parents at least
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
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. 1,
1904, is eligible to this contest,
nor shall any employe or party

Second—Every issue of the
Daily and Weekly Independent

24, will contain a ballot entitling

these dates a coupon good for ten
votes will be issued, but no cou
pons will be issued for sums less

sold, and will only De issued ior
job, ad and subscrpition busi
ness, but extra copies of the In

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
