Falls-City Commercial' Club Work
Y ing for Improvement of Falls
I CityValsetat Road ,
Mr. H. Mather Smith, president
of 'the Falls City commercial club,
has' been very- busy the past few
days circulating a petition and a
pledge for work onjj the Fall3 City
Valsetz road. Valsetz citizens are
working along the ame lines, and
it is expected to ecure enough
pledges so that the county court
will feel Justified ia sending out a
grader and scraper (and other nec
essary equipment to widen and
scrape the road from Falls City in
to Valsets. Falls bity expects to
have about one hundred days'
-work (or equivalent in cash)
pledged by the en4 of this week,
end Valsetz is anticipating a like
amount. "' ' i ' ' ! r I
With the cooperation promised
by the county court, this Bhould
mean a great improvement over
the condition of the road last year.
' This Is a very interesting-and
bea'utiful drive,-and with' a good
mountain road will appeal to many
who so far have hesitated to make
-the trip. y. " 1 ;'-! -
We think this Is ' the starting
point for a permanent road, inas-

much as many years ago the Falls
City people got their road from
Falls City to Dallas started in just
this way. No doubt many Vho read
this will be Interested sufficiently
to j communicate with the Polk
county court and urge that all the
assistance possible be given this
1 project, and we hope there may be
residents of other localities who
will be Interested enough to help
financially as well. If we cannot
have formal road districts of in
terested sections of adjoining coun
ties to bond and build roads, let's
bond ourselves individually and do
all we can in a small way until the
time comes, as it will, that the
other! method may be worked out
successful!. ; "
f Th Commercial club is receiv
ing many inquiries for lands, poul
try; farms, both large and small,
improved farms with buildings,
and logged off land, and takes this
method of urging all who have any
real estate for sale to go to the
Bank jof Falls City and make list
ings with the local chairman of the
State Land Settlement committee.
A nominal fee is charged to cover
cost of blanks, etc., and-the rest is
done; tor you by this committee. A
recent published report shows that
in one month several hundred in
quiries were received at commit
tee headquarters in Portland, and
this is i advance of any consider
able tourist travel. As we are not
located on any of the; main' trav
elled highways we must reach the
publiq through such avenues as
that afforded by the State Land
Settlemejeommjtjjee and the pub
licity I committee ol the State
Chamber of Commerce, as well as

one can almost spot the pot of gold
at the end, the next glowing in sun

determined to have this hot lunch

home just outside the city limits on
the south to W. B. Stevens. This
property is quite well improved,
with a comfortable house, poultry
house, fruit and berries, and room
for a fine garden. Mr. and Mrs.
Elle will continue to occupy the
property until after the close of
school, but have made no definite
plans further than that.
; W. H. Beard has vacated the
property on the south side recently
purchased from him by Mr. and
Mrs. M. D. Hammel, but will also
remain in Falls City for the pres
ent, as his daughters Margaret and

j Mr. and Mrs. Hammell plan to
occupy this recently acquired prop
erty as a home, and are doing some
improving before moving into the
house. This property also has con
siderable fruit and garden, with
poultry house and other build
ings. .

chased. Mr. Treat is planning

"Stunt Night" for the Benefit of
' tho Parent-Teacher-Association
a Success
The entertainment given by dif
ferent organizations of the city on
Monday evening, the 30th, in Vic
tory hall reminds us of a song sung
in school many years before the
PTA' was thought of: "It's a way
we have in school, sir, to drive dull
care away," and if anyone could
have even thought of care or worry
left after laughing through the
evening with "home folks" ' he
must have been melancholy ThdeeS.
The Ladies Art club opened the
evening's fun by holding a District
School, with Mrs. Raymond Cris
well as teacher. The girls and
boys (?) after recitations in-geography
and spelling "practiced" for
the coming Friday afternoon pro
gram when all the home folks
would be there to hear them. Mrs.
A. F. Courter and Mrs. H. M.
Smith in a duet "Teacher Please
'Scuse Us", were irresistable. A
Dutch diallect reading was "given
by Mrs. Albert Teal. Other "reci
tations" were irresistibly funy but
the one that was lost and never
given, like the proverbial fish that
got away, was best of all. We did
learn from the geography class of
this school, however, that "Oregon
is bounded on one side by the Pa
cific Ocean and on the other by the
United States," and that we'll have
to ask H. M. Smith where Falls
City is located because "Dad says
the Commercial Club is going to
put Falls City on the map."
; This was followed by a solo by
Clyde Bancroft, with Miss Esther
Cleveland at the piano, "I Love a
Lassie," who sang in his usual
pleasing manner, and repeated
this number in acknowledgment of
the encore he received.
; Mrs. Mabel Hatch accompanied
by her son, Willard, gave a musical
reading "Yellow Roses" with much
expression. -
i The Falls City Commercial club
was t represented by a comedy
sketch very cleverly given by Mrs.
A. F. Meyers, Mr. and Mrs. Hallot
McMurphy and Charles Kaufman.
The local hits were well made and
when this "Lesson in Physical Cul
ture" was finished we all felt like
the setting up had done us good.
I Mr. C. L. Barnhart sang "To the
End of the World With You," with
Mrs. J. F. Dunlop at the pIano
i The ladies of the Good Will club
had a two-act comedy sketch well
played by Mrs. Frank Mack, Miss
Viola Lane, . Mrs. George Chamber
lain and Mrs. William I Mack.
'Turning the Tables" was a good
satire on present day conditions as
we see them on the screen, but not
as lived in our own wholesome
community. The ladles showed
the result of careful preparation.
I Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Meyers, Mr.
Hal Thompson and Mr. Harold
Frink gave two musical numbers,
with Mrs. Meyers at the piano, Mr.
Meyers and Mr. Frink playing first
and second violins and Mr. Thomp
son, i the saxaphone. The first
number was "If I Could Just Stop
Dreaming" in which "Mr. j Frink
gave the vocal solo very pleasingly,
the second number "What's Be
come of Sally," was sung by Mr,
Meyers in his usual good form.
. Miss Kathryn Peters, with Doris
Mickalson accompanist, rendered
a trombone solo very effectively.
The last feature of this enter
tainment was given by members of
the Parent-Teacher association just
to show the boys and girls they
hadn't forgotten how. "That Ras
cal Pat." And. as Pat the rascal,
J. A. Reiber1 kept things moving
rather too lively for the uncle. Rev.
J. F. Dunlop, or his other master,
Mr. R. L. Griswold. Mrs. A. G.
Adams, as Nora, . the maid, and
Mrs. R. Paul as the niece, Laura,
were very good.
1 This entertainment resulted In
$44.40 receipts to be added to the
treasury of the association, and
best of all brought out a record at
tendance, once more bringing all
the community together.

Raw Materials Abound Invitingly for Woodworking Plants,
Milk Products and Food Products Plants Around Fells
City Exceptional Opportunities for Investment in Fer
tile and Cheap Lands. :
By EDWARD T. BARBER
; . Permanent ; industrial develop
ment must rest upon factors and
conditions fundamentally sound
and permanent.
f Since approximately 57 per cent
of. the cost of a finished article is
represented by the raw materials,
mill supplies, transportation and
freight, it is evident that the abil
ity of any locality to furnish these
elements in sufficient quantity and
at a price compatible with the
market conditions, shculd be the
largest determining factor in se
curing; the location, of industrial
plants and the investment of capi
tal in industrial development of
a community.
The second largest factor enter
ing into a finished product is la
bor, represented by 21 per cent.
For this reason it is vital that
labor conditions in any given com
munity should be carefully con
sidered and estimated on a stable
basis.
I Another . factor which has not
been estimated in percentages be
cause jof its Intangible nature, is
the community sense of its rela
tions, to its local industries. Yet
this is the one great factor which
is ' more vital to success than all
the others combined.- y
1 The community which looks up
on its local fndustries as a sort of
"Santa Claus," bestowing gratu
ities upon the municipality or
upon favored Individuals or. forms,
is well on the road towards put
ting its industrial plants into cold
storage and inviting s the sheriff
to hold himself in readiness for
eventualities.1 -
I The community which feels and
understands "that" the success of
its industrial) establishments Is of
really; more vital interest to the
community than to the stockhold
ers Or owners of the plants. Is on
the highway to success and pros
perity, fori both the community
and the industrial plants fortun
ate enough to be located in such
a center. (
-Falls City, viewed from these
standpoints, presents' some espe
cially inviting opportunities for In
dustrial plants .and investments.
Falls City is surrounded by vast
forests of the finest timber in Ore
gon. Jj Lumbering was among Its
first industries and remains today
the chief Industry. But aside from
the sawmills making the raw lum
ber, there are now no wood-working
industries there.

Tbfc dairy business has been but
little developed. Many farmers"
keep dairy herds of fine pure bred
dairy cows, the climatic conditions
and the food growing conditions
are excellent, but at present the
market must be sought outside the

Dairying is not a novelty here.
