PolR County Observer J. C. IIAYTER, KDITOR AND I'UBUSHKR. Published Weekly at $1.50 per Year. Strictly in Advance. DALLAS, OREGON, SEPTEMBER 7, 1906 The way to build up Dallas ts to pat ronize Dallas people. A N In all parts of Polk county, bright boys and girls are busily engaged in preparing their exhibits for the School Children's Industrial Fair, to be held in Dallas on September 28-20. It is safe to predict that the display to be made by these young people will be a pleasant surprise to every visitor attending the Fair. The demand for houses continues to exceed the supply in Dallas, and there is not a vacant dwelling in the town More monied men are needed to follow the example of C. H. Chapman, who has built four neat houses to rent, and other citizens of his class who are not afraid to invest their capital in providing houses for the rapidly growing army of laboring men. Now that Polk county is out of debt and has money, in her treasury, the time is ripe for a concerted movement for better roads. Nothing would add more to the growth and prosperity of the county than a system of first-class country roads, and the money spent in improving the highways would prove the best investment that could possibly be made. Let the County Court lead the way in this important improvement, and the people will gladly follow. It. M. Hall has resigned his position as advertising manager of the Harri man lines in the Northwest, and will devote his time to literary pursuits. He is a talented writer and will "make good" in his new Held of endeavor, just as ho did in his railroad work, where.his superior ability was recog nized by every railway and trans portation company In the United States. He has been a loyal supporter of the Oregon Press Association, and has attended every convention of that body siuco becoming a resident of Oregon. Mr. Hall is held in the highest esteem by the newspaper men of Oregon, all of whom will wish him the greatest success in his new field. PROPERTY OWNERS OBJECT Remonstrance Against Ordinance Pro viding for Cutting Down Shade Trees Is Being Circulated. An ordinance giving electrio light and telephone companies authority to cut all shade trees down to a height of 20 feet, where the limbs interfere with their wires, was introduced and read in the city council meeting, Monday night. As no discussion of an ordi nance is permitted in the council until it has been passed to its second read ing, the measure was ordored to lie on the table until the next regular meet ing of the board on Monday evening, September 17. Considerable opposition to the measure has developed among property-owners, who think it too radical in its provisions, andareinon stranco against its passage is being circulated for signatures. The controversy between the council and the mill-race company was com promised at tho meeting Monday eve ning, the race owners agreeing to construct the cribbing on each side of the race at tho Main Street crossing, and tho city to put on the cover. The Street Commissioner was ordored to make the improvement according to the terms of the agreement. The hearing of objections to the construction of new sidewalks was continued until Monday, September 17, at 7:30 p. m. Councilman Sibley reported that the Willamette Yalley Lumber Company has offered to bring Maiu street to grade where it crosses their pond, and to furnish rock for tho top dressiug if the city will load it on the cars. A bid for the construction of the Oak Street sewer was ordered returned to the bidder unopened, pending the re adjustment of the sewer grade. Recital at Falls City. Miss Hallie Morrison's music pupils in Falls City finished their suminei's work by giving n recital at the home of Mr. and Mrs. 'A. Ilinsuaw, Thurs day evening. The program was highly creditable, both to the pupils and tho teacher, all of the performers dis playing great proficiency, (lames were played on the lawn, and delicious refreshments were served at a late hour. Miss Morrison will tench In tho Falls City public school again next year, and will also continue her musical work. A Bad Stomach Lessens the usefulness and mars the hap piness of life.

Gerlinger, Jr., general manager of the Dallas & Falls City railroad, accompanied by Mrs. Gerlinger, ar rived home Sunday from a three weeks' visit to tho Middle West. During his absence from home, he visited Minneapolis, St. Paul, Chicago, St. Louis and other large cities, while Mrs. Gerlinger visited friends In Minneapolis. Both enjoyed the trip, but wcro glad to get away from the extreme heatof the Mississippi Valley. The object of Mr. Gerlinger's trip was to buy additional equipment for his road, and be reports the purchase of 24 flat-cars of the latest Improved make from the American Car & Foundry Company. Each of these cars is 41 feet long and has a carrying capacity of 70,000 pounds. The cars are of the same class as those used by the Northern Pacific Company. Im mediately upon their arrival, they will be put into use in hauling logs from Falls City to Dallas, and the road will no longer be hampered by a lack of rolling stock. Mr. Gerlinger says the Middle West is enjoying great prosperity, and that Chicago and Minneapolis are making a phenomenal growth. The extent to which building operations are being carriod on in Chicago is simply wonderful. The lumber market is lively, and all sawmills are being operated to their utmost capacity. Laboring men are scarce in all lines of industry, and the sawmills of the Mississippi Valley are as badly handi capped by a scarcity of laborers as are those of the Pacific Coast. DEATH FOLLOWS OPERATION J. M. Haggard Dies ot Appendicitis at Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland. James M. Haggard, well and favor ably known as a citizen of Polk county, died at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland on Friday of last week. He had been in falling health for several months. About three weeks ago he went to Portland for treatment, and shortly after arriving at the hospital, submitted to an operation for appendicitis. 'Little hope was entertained for his recovery at first, but in a few days he rallied and his condition appeared favorable until a short time before the final collapse came last Friday. Mr. Haggard was born In Yamhill county, Oregon, January 4, 1856. He was married to Mrs. Emma Ward in November, 1893. His absence, not only in the homo but in the church, will be deeply felt. He was a pro gressive citizen whose interest in the public welfare was felt and appre ciated. As a Christian, he was active, consistent and influential. The United Evangelical Church at Lewisville has lost one of its most useful members. The funeral services were held at the family home near Lewisville on Sunday and Interment took place at tho Smith burying ground. Rev. W. L. Arnold, his pastor, and Rev. D. M. Metzger, of Dallas, officiated at the services. MAIL ON NEW TRAIN Service Will Begin As Soon as Arrangements Can Be Made.
