Will The Fourth of July celebration In Dallas this year will be a hummer. One thousand dollars will pay for a lot of fine attractions. Pity us poor people who live in town and have no berries or vegetables or poultry or livestock or grain to sell but have to buy everything. The wonder is that instead of so many people coming to town from the countrv a lot of town people are not flockinar to the country in order to make money. Portlaod Journal. L. R. Alderman, well-known in Polk countv. will resign the office of School Superintendent of Yamhill county to accept the position of City Superintendent of the Eugene schools. Professor Alderman is one of the strong men of Oregon in educational work, and the people of Eugene are to be congratulated upon securing his services. Every farmer in the west end of Polk county should attend the cream ery meeting in Pallas tomorrow. The creamery bnsiness is growing rapidly in Oregon, and the farmers who are devoting time and Intelligent atten tion to their dairy cows are reaping rich returns. There is no reason why Polk county farmers should not share in this prosperity. Dallas is situated in the heart of an ideal dairying section and should have one of the largest and best equipped creameries In Oregon. County Court next week. Miss Sadie Francis, of Portland, is visiting friends in Dallas. U. L. Frazer has moved from Inde pendence to Parker Station. Dr. H. A. Littlefield, of Xewberg, was a visitor in Dallas, Tuesday. Fred B. West, of Aberdeen, Wash , visited old-time friends in Dallas this week. A Dallas baseball team defeated the Amity team yesterday afternoon by a score of 10 to 3. The Observer is prepared to do round-cornering, perforating, and punching for loose-leaf ledgers. The Newberg Graphic says that O. W. James, the S. P. station agent at that place, is to be transferred to Dallas. The farmers tell us that a local in our "Wanted" and "For Sale" column brings returns and the cost is small. Mrs. Joseph Howard, formerly Miss Rose Sites, has been visiting at the home of Mrs. Martha Cosper. She is living in Corvallis, while her son is at tending school. J. E. Allen, or Oak Grove, was a county seat visitor yesterday. He reports that active arrangements are being made for the picnic to be held at the Grove on Saturday, June 8. Jack Myer, a printer in the Falls City News office, received a telegram yesterday informing him of the death or his father in St. Paul, Miunesota. The young man left fur home last night. The new concrete walks in front of Smith & Coad's building and J. C. Shultz's residence property were com pleted Wednesday. The city is putting in a substantial concrete crosswalk to connect the Fuull and Shultz walk? on Mill street. Now that the city has begun building cement crosswalks, the Observer predicts that it will not be many years until there will be no board walks left in the business dis trict Decoration Day is becoming more and more a holiday each year. The day was generally observed in Dallas yesterday, the batiks, county offices and the greater number of the busi ness houses being closed. The ceme teries were visited by a large number of people, and the graves of deceased relatives and friends were covered with beautiful flowers. In many neighborhoods in the county, men and women spent the day in cleaning and beautifying old and neglected graveyards. A meeting of farmers will be held in Brown's Hall tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to further consider the advisability of establishing a cream ery in Dallas. T. S. Townsend, pres ident of the T. S. Townsend Creamery Company, of Portland, will be present and submit a proposition looking to the establishment of a branch cream ery at this place. The Observer received a letter from Mr. Townsend yesterday saying that he would bo in Dallas, Saturday, and that Manager Underbill, of the com pany's creamery in Salem, would probably go to Dallas and attend the meeting. Mr. Townsend says he is ready to establish a creamery here, provided the proper encouragement is given by the farmers. It is expected that the question will be decided definitely tomorrow, as the season is getting late and it will be necessary to begin the work imme diately if desired results are to be accomplished this summer.

Gaynor, Electricity for Lighting Is only expensive to people who are wasteful and careless. To you, who are naturally careful, it does not come high. v . It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let lipht burn when' not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month ou can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than eleetno light, but does it save you anvthing when it limits oo portunities for work and recreation-ruins your eyesight-smokes your walls mars decorations and increases household work You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your "meals but it wouldo t be economy.
