Polk County has been awarded first place in the county exhibit competi tion at the Oregon State Fair, and can justly claim to be the banner agri imltural county of Oregon. The splendid exhibit, prepared by Mrs. F. A. Wolf, of Falls City, excelled all others in number of varieties and arrangement, although Linn County was a close second. The premiums awarded are : Polk County, Mrs. F. A. Wolf, $350 ; Linn County, J. E. Douglas, $300; Washington, County, F. M. Heidel and son, $250 ; Marion County, C. T. Bonney, $200; Lane County, E. M. Warren, $150 : Yamhill County, J. C. Cooper, $100. The Observer will have more to say about the prize-winning exhibit next week. Meanwhile, hurrah for Polk County, and hurrah for Mrs. Wolf ! The Observer's advertising patronage is increasing rapidly. Nothing speaks better for the enter prise of a town than a newspaper well filled with bright advertise ments of its home merchants, and nothing does more to increase the trade of a merchant than a bright advertisement in his local newspaper. Construction of Water-Works Is Pro gressing at Lively Rate. That Dallas will have the coldest and purest mountain water of any town in the Willamette Valley, no one will doubt after visiting the source of supply on Canyon Creek. The intake is nearing completion, and is a piece of work well worth making the trip up to the mountains to soe. The entire stream is filtered through 100 feet of sand and gravel, and the water will be absolutely free from every im purity before entering the pipe whiwh Is to convey it to the reservoir a mile west of town. No dams or screens are used in the construction of the intake, consequently there will be no danger from fire or inconvenience or annoy ance from floating leaves and trash. Canyon Creek is one of the finest streams in the Coast mountains, and with the precautions that have been taken to obtain a supply of water ab solutely clear of contamination, the danger of impure water will be re duced to the minimum. The ditch gang, under the super vision of W. L. Soehren, is making good progress, one and one-half miles of ditch being completed already. If nothing unforeseen occurs to prevent, the ditch will be completed to the crossing of the LaCreole just above the Hallock mill early next week. Camp was moved from Canyon Creek to this point last Monday afternoon Much gravel and rock was en countered at the upper end of the line, and the work of excavating the ditch was rendered slow as a consequence. but after the foothills are reached much better time will be made. Mr. Gates is anxious to increase his force of laborers, and will giveemployment to all able-bodied men who may ap ply. Good wages are paid, and ex cellent board is furnished the men at a reasonable price. The ground for the reservoir site west of town has been cleared of brush, and the gravel to be used in the con crete work is being hauled. Ship ments of pipe and other material are expected to arrive in a few days. . Card of Thanks. To the many friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the long iiiness or our nttie son, itudolph, and who, by so many expressions of sympathy, helped to lighten our sore bereavement, we desire to publicly ex press our tnanKS ana appreciation.

Two sons resid in South Dakota, ami a daughter in Kansas. Th remains will be taken to Buona ista for interment thi afternoon. Mrs. Scott was a kind, C'iiri.tian woman, and lived a long and uwful life1. It is a great afflicticoiVsr woman to have her face disjfo jry pimples or any form of erupt &-iisease. It makes her morbid and sensitive, and robs ber of social enjoyment. Disfiguring erup- tious are caused by impure blood, and are entirely cured by the treat Dlooa nurifvinsr medicine Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It removes from the blood the poisonous impurities which cause disease. It perfectly and perman entlv cures scrofulous sores, eczema, tetter, boils, pimples and other eruptive diseases which are caused by the blood's iniouritv. It increases the action of the blood-making rlands and thus in creases the supply of pure rich blood. "For about one year and a half my face was verv Daaiv DrOKen Olll," writes .arric a, Ian. j nf 116 West Main Street. Battlecreelc. Mich. n I spent a great deal of money with do tors and for different kinds of medicine, but re ceived no benefit. At last I read one of your advertisements iu a paper, and obtained a bottle of Dr. Fierce s lioiuen Meaical Liiscovery. Be fore I had taken one bottle of this medicine I no.'rced a change, and after taking three bottles I was entirely cured. I can well recommend Pr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to any one similarly anlicted." The sole motive for substitution is to nerniit the dealer to make the little more profit paid by the sale of less mer itorious medicines. He grains : you lose. Therefore accept no substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery." The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser, a book containig 1008 pages, is given away.
