FRIDAY.......... ......... MAY 23, 1873.
Last Friday morning the muscular
engineer of this goose-quill, accom-
t paafedby 9-C Kuhn,tEsj., of"i Al-
" bany, started for a buggy rhie through
Polk county. Crossing the IFiUaniette
at this city, we speedily passed over the
-'oak hills ancf through the verdant
vales of that region traversed, by the
lagging Lnckiamute. ami the soporific
Soap Creek, and after a drive of twenty

. mouth is beautifully situated in the
toldstof an und.UaUng prrie of the
xicbe soil which the country affords,
tawia it inhabitants seem to m indus
trious aad enterprising. It has two
or three Mores and several shops of
different kinds, as well as a newspaper,
the Christian Messenger, published by
"Profj sCa.rapbeIll,resideDt f of the
College. The paper is ably conducted
and has. an extensive c.fcui-t.a
among the adhereuts of the Chfi t'an
Church on the' coast.' IFe observed t."o
peculiarly felicitous features about ,
Jon mouth that are deserving oi
mention,1 and even o emulation by
other communities, viz: It has lots
of pretty girls and no dogs. If you
don't think that that approaches very
near to a terrestrial heavtrn, then pay
up; yourdelinquency and atop your
paper we shall quit the business and
abandon the hope of putting our read
ers on the sure road to bliss. While at
- Monmouth we were hospitably enter
tained by J. B. V. Butler, Esq., one or
the most substantial and enterprising
citizens of Polk. He has just com
pleted the erection of "a large and com
modious ' residence, which for ; con
venience and appearance has but few
equals In Oregon. The house is rich
ly but substantially furnished throngh
out with all the modern auxiliaries to
household oora ort antl iuxnry, ana,
with Mr. Butler and his amiable wife
to welcome one with their cheery
smiles and warm greetings, it is in-
deed a rare comfort to enjoy the hospi
tality .of that household .Mr. Butler
is a warm supporter and an able
: champion of the formers' movement
" and is a charter member of a Grange
; which was organized at Aon mouth
"last week. Zfe is enthusiastic on the
subject of Granges, and believes their
inauguration and patronage by the
agricultural community throughout
the Union will eventually redeem the
- people from the oppressive exactions of
monopolies and the official corruptions
of those In power. .There are two otlf
er Granges already Instituted in Polk,
and others will be shortly established.
One Mr. Campbell, resident of East
Portland, is State Deputy and organ
sizing officer. After pretty throughly
nosing around Jbnmouth for a couple
of hours, we drove over to
f. .: DALLAS,
the capital of . Polk county, situated
upon the banks of the raging Bickreal
and surrounded by a stretch of the
most delightful country to be found in
the world. The soil here is ri(?h and
-exhaustles, producing to an extent al
most beyond belief from-year to year.
'Dallas is a primitive, oUl-iiishioned
town of perhaps 800 souls, with a pub
lic square in the center (we mean in
the center of the town, not of the
souls.) The .public square is a nice
place for the county officers to roll in
the grass and play ".-.inch" astride of a
prostrate flag pole "which has Iain in
the square for a decade orso. ahJ upon
which those Democratic, giants, Sena
tor Nesmith and Ben. 2ayden, have
in days a gone put up many a little job
, deed a historic flagpole, and its bleach
ed and weather scarred surface recites
to the attentive listener many an epic

principal use now,-since the liquor
'license has been abolished in Dallas, is
to afford a reeeptacle for the deposi
tory of attorneys' glassometers during
' the progress of Cireuit Court.
During our stay at Dallas we aosorb
ed provender under the roof trees of
Messrs. K". Lu, Butler and S. C. Stites,
for all of which hospitality our heart
goes yearningly out to them even unto
this day. . To J. J. Daly, Esq., and
other friends, for assisting us to snipe
folks into subscribing for this contu
melious sheet, we are equally guilty of j
gratitude. If there is any one else
whom we have forgot to thank in this
effusion he may consider himself cor
respondingly grateful. ;
After a twenty-four .hours' absorp
tion of Dallas' patient and long suffer
ing hospitality, during which time our
, horses gave the epizootic to every equi
roxiou quadruped . in Tom. Itich-
- mond'a livery stable, we fled precipi
tously for -'
INDEPENDENCE, ..
one of the most floiirishing and promis
ing towns on' the " West Side. It is
situated on the banks of the IFiliam
ette, on the margin of the rich and fav
mous Polk eoanty prairies, where more
fat cattle and prolific crops' -and big
babies are . generated : and ' produced
than in any other part of the country
of a corresponding area.,' Here we in-
flicted ourselves upon the people until
in sheer desperation - many of them
took- a year's decoction of our gothic
literature,, and some of them promised
to take the paper from Dan to TJeer
eheba if we would only withdraw our
post-augur from'their lacerating
wounds. 'Feeling that it was hot po
litic to push our advantage too far, we
.reluctantly extracted our fangs from
the Independence sufferers and pensive
ly turned away, and in due time ar
rived at Albany, feeling much refresh
ed by; our raid, and, Vastly ricu'ragea
by the patient fortitude - with which
the Polk county folks bore op under
our afflictive pcr.'cutlons. In conclu l
sion we present theiu our thankful
commlsseratlon and commend to them
tho preparation of a coat of mall
against our next visit. At last advices
they had congregated Upon the Dixie

familiar and antiquated Homeric song

- A Sad Accident. Il'e are Inform
ed that Mr. Riley Thorp, of Sclo, was
drowned while attempting to ford the
Santiam last week. It Is not positively
known that lie was drowned, as no one
witnessed the catastrophe and no trace
of the body has been found, but the
last seen of him be was approaching
the ford on horseback. The people of
tbat"-seetlon bava "made the most
strenuous exertions to recover the
body, but as yet without avail. Mr.
Thorpe was an elder brother of Hon.
T. J. Thorn, our present county As
sessor, and is the father of ten chli
dYen, nearly all of whom are young
and he.'n ess. Ills stricken wife and
family have our deepest sympathy.
Dr. Aug. C Kinney, an Oregon boy,
son of R. C. Kinney, of Salem, has leen
appointed Chief ot tl,e Metlical Staff of

Mayor Havemcyer. The position to

other contractors are fully supplied

is uo use for others to apply for work.
They" are dally beseiged by persons

ready for sale. They are made of the
most superior timber ami are sold
cheaper than imported wagons. Don't
forgot that this is a feature of home
enterprise that should be encouraged.
Peterson's Magazine is with us
again. The fashions are gorgeous but
still in good taste. The ladies should
read carefully a short artic e on dreis
