Strictly in Advance. t7. nnn1.plai.a mutter March 1, 1007 i ii.A .tnt!ice at UhIIiis, Oregon, under tlie Act of ConxreSH of March a, 1871). DALLAS, OliKGON, NovkmbkkB, 19OT. The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. THE PARCELS POST One of our subscribers writes as follows: "We see that the Postmaster General Is going to recommend the Parcels Post. Good for him. The merchant can't have his wav all tho time. If he can't make a living selling goods, let him get out and rustle on trie rarm like the rest of us. Is he aoy better?" The average merchant is probably no better than the average farmer. He Is probably just as good, and no hot ter; but It Is certain that he Is no more narrow-minded than the Individual who penned the foregoing paragraph. The poorest man on earth is the one who is poor in spirit and Is continually harping that other people think they are better than he is. The interests of the farmor and tho country merchant who buys tho farm ers produceare identical, and no harm can como to one without affecting tho other. If the proposed Parcels Post will Increase tho country merchant's trade and enable him to pay the farmor a bettor price for his produce, 'it will bo a good thing for tho country. If it should decrease the trade of tho country morchant and Increase tho trade of the city mail order houses that buy nothing of tho farmor, it would be a bad thing for the country. The Odskrveb thinks it would be a bad thing. The question of ono man boing hotter than another does not figure in It, at all. It Is merely a matter of cold-blooded business. TWO TRAINS TAKEN OFF Closing of Sawmills Necessitates Change In Train Service on Dal las and Halls City Road. The condition of the lumber market has necessitated a change in the schedule of the Dallas and Falls City railroad, and has resulted in the dis continuance of the 11 o'clock train to Falls City and tho logging train to Newberg. The stub trains between Falls City and Black Rock have also been discontinued. Theregularmorning train will here after leave Dallas at 7:15, and will run through to Black Rock. It will leave Black Hock as soon as the neces sary switching can bo done, and will leave P'alls City for Dallas between 10 and II o'clock. The afternoon train will leave Dallas at 3:20, and will run to Falls City only. Returning, it will leave Falls City at 4 :30. As soon as the road can adjust its business to the now conditions, a per manent schedule will be announced. Tho passenger coach will bo out of the repair shop in about two weeks, and will then be put on the run again. The coach is being thoroughly overhauled, and will be furnished with upholstered leather seats. About $700 is being expended in its improvement. Manager Gerlinger says tho cur tailment of train service was made imperative by the closing down of several of the mills and logging camps and the uncertainty of others continuing in operation. He is nnx Ious to give tho patrons of tho rond the best possible service, and will arrange the very best train schedule that tho business of tho road will justify undor present unfortunate conditions.
