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 be fstopped upon the expira
tion of the time for which they
are paid.
Subscribers will be notified two
weeks prior to the 'expiration of
their subscription, and prompt
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, $1.00$a 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
tiguous territory.
SNAKE RIVER VALLEY.
The largest irrigation enter
prise in America is located in the
rich Snake River valley of Idaho,
which has been reclaimed
through man’s handi-work alone.
In this valley which is now com
fortably settled, there remains
270,000 acres of land belonging
to the state of Idaho, which is
under the Twin Falls irrigation
canals and open to settlement.
This land is among the richest in
America, as experiments have
proved. Potatoes here yield 200
to 400 bushels to the acre of
large size and fine variety. Wheat
yields from 40 to 70 bushels to
the acre with, an average weight
of. 63 pounds per bushel. Three
. crops 0f alfalfa are raised each
r^son in the Snake River valley.
The climate is superb and of
great value as a tonic for mind
r.nd body. Home-seekers low
rates to the Snake River valley
are in effect via Union Pacific,
the only direct route. Why not
visit this district in person and
fully realize its great possibili
ties? For full information ad

FOR NEEDLEWORKERS.
Pretty Bits of Household Finery Up*
on Which to Employ Their
Spare Time.
A fad of the moment is to have laced
or embroideerd cuff and stock pieces
edged entirely around with ruching.
The cuff pieces are simply basted over
the wristbands. When the ruching is
soiled a new ruche may be put on and so
the handsome or delicate lace is saved
much washing.
One of the embroidery designs in field
flowers which is attractive is a daisy
pattern upon a table center piece. Large
centers with a white couched edge and
the pattern stamped inside this cost
$1.50. The edges should be finished with
a broad band of lace. The design is
worked in white and green.
A prime factor in a cozy corner is a
cushion of green burlap embroidered
with red raffia. The design Is of clus
ters of cherries. The realism of this
pillow is further carried out by having
the corners finished with large bunches
of natural-looking velvet cherries on a
green wire stem.
The prettiest of the new summer
cushion covers are in sheer muslin or
lawn, with embroidered monogram or
Marie Antoinette festooned borders, or
Napoleonic wreaths of tiny flowers all
done in exquisite stitches in white, and
brought into relief by being placed over
a cushion covered in rose, blue, yellow
or mignonette green.
Bedroom slippers of the hand cro
cheted order echo the universal vogue
of the polka dot. The smartest of these
are now made to come very high on the
ankle and turn over, forming a sort of
cufT. Larke white polka dots occur on
a background of pink or lavender or a
white surrace is treated witn large dots
in pink or blue.
A pretty pincushion that a girl can
make for herself, or for a gift, is a cir
cular affair of violet colored silk or
satin, heavily sacheted with orris pow
der. Around this are sewed millinery
violets, arranged in such a way that the
cushion is almost hidden away in the
blossoms. The stems are tied as if in a
bouquet at the back.
A pretty and comfortable kimonomay
be made from an old shirt waist. Re
move the gathers at the waist. Take off
the collar band and cut the neck V-shape.
Remove the cuffs and gathers at the
wrist. Now take cloth of a contrasting
color and sew a strip two inches wide
around the bottom of the waist and the
sleeves, up the fronts and around the
neck and your dressing sack is com
plete.
THE OLD-FASHIONED BATH.
An Invigorating Indulgence Espe
cially Beneficial to Persons
Who Are Ailing.
An 1830 bath is the very latest
thing. It is a bath made of sweet
scented water in which there is enough
acid to be invigorating. It is a bath
of a previous generation and it is one
which every athlete of the present day
should try, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
To make an 1830 bath take a tub of
hot water and pour into it a quart of
bath vinegar if one can afford it If
one cannot indulge in this extrava
gance, then take a pint. If this is too
much at least pour in a few table
spoonfuls.
A bath in bath vinegar is good for
the muscles. It drives away rheuma
tism, it cures neuralgia, it is just the
thing for a stiff neck, and it takes the
ache out of tired bonea
A rose geranium bath is recom
mended to those who have neuralgia
and sharp aches and pains. There is
something very soothing about the
odor of rose geranium. It lulls the
senses as not even violets can ao.
The aromatic bath, partly ammonia,
is liked by those who feel faint and is
the bath of baths for the woman with
a weak heart Let the woman whose
heart does not beat well practice walk
ing. Let her take the walking exer
cises vigorously. Then let her take
a bath in aromatic vinegar and let hei
Anally steep her nose in a bottle of tne
vinegar, and while she Is dressing let
a saucer of it stand in the room. This
is the best way to get the full scent
of the vinegar and the best result!
from it.
Camphorated baths are much too
powerful for any but the sick. The
person who has sprains or bruises can
take a mild camphorated bath, but it
is not a pleasant bath nor one which
ean be recommended for dally use.
Taken all in all there is nothing quite
a5 pleasant as the rose geranium bath
nor one that le cheaper. A great bot
tle, half a gallon, of the scent can be
made for a dollar and this will last
a long time.
Curry of Vegetable.
Use one large onion, a sour apple, a
pint each of carrot, turnip and celery!
cubes, a heaping teaspoon curry pow
der, one pint stock or milk, two tabla
spoons Hour, two level teaspoons salt,
one-half teaspoon pepper, generoui
tablespoon of butter; mince the onion, j
pare the apple and cut In thin ellcee; put
butter on the stove in stewpan and ae
soon as melted add onion and apple;
stir for two minutes and then add the
other vegetables, stirring until it be
gins to brown; then add dour and sea
soning, stir again, then pour milk ot
stock over; cover the stewpan and let
simmer one hour.—Boeton Globe,
Blanquette of Lamb.
Cut oold, cooked lamb in strips, make •
sauce with three tablespoonfuls each oi
butter and dour stirred over the Ore until
smooth, add one cupful of stock and one
cupful of milk and stir until boiling,
salt, pepper and dash of nutmeg and one
tablespoonful of tomato catsup; hest the
meat in this, turn out on a platter, eerve
around it green peas or a potato border;
sprinkle with mineed parsley.—Good

INDEPENDENT’S
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
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,
MAW nVinll A V\TT Atvtwl A1TA AM VkAM^TT
kJIIMltl MIIJ V VI |/U1. VJ
connected with this paper be eli
gible to vote.
Second—Every issue of the
Daily and Weekly Independent
from November 1 to December
24, 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
than $1.00. Coupons will not be
sold, and will only be issued for
job, ad and subscrpition busi
ness, but extra copies of the In
dependent at 2 cents per copy,
each containing one ballot, will
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.
