Patronize One A nnlher for the Uvbuitdina of Town and County.
During the next month another lug
im m igration of lioniereckera it* ex
peeted in Oregon and the railroad» re
port that it will even exceed the one
of May. W hat is Polk county doing
tow rd getting her »hare of this hatch
of homes* eker»? Are we to let them
g -k other portions of the state and
lo ate, or will we in some way en
deavor to get them to know of the ad
vantages we have to offer!
Som e republican papers are con
tinually
knocking the dem ocratic
ones and asserting that they are doing
all in their power to prevent assem
blies. Rather the reverse is true.
W e hope an assembly will be held in
every county in the state, and that
they will put up full county and state
tickets. That will he the quickest
w a y (.Minding out whether the pen
pie want to la* still governed by the o d
machine methods or do a little think
ing and voting for themselves.
Already, bef .re the warm weather is
set, a number of parties have turned
their faces toward the ocean breezes,
for that rest and recu[ieratioii I hat is
such a keen pleasure to those who can
afford it during the warm period.
After the fou rth , our town and coun
ty will la) more greatly depopulated
and the stream coaetward will swell
and swell until the fall business lie-
gins to send them hurrying hom e
ward for the business that cannot
wait at that period— the harvesting of
the crops and such other little mut
ters.
Unele Sam is cou nting his timber
wealth on the slopes of the Cascade
mountains. Kxpert timber cruisers
in the em ploy of the governm ent are
at work making the estimate and it iB
expected it will take all this summer
and next to com plete the cruise of the
water shed of the Willam ette river
and its tributaries in the Cascade re
serve. The land will be classified and
the timber segregated in to logging
units. This is the tirst attem pt so
far as known, of the governm ent (o
take an inventory of its timber re
sources.
The assembly has com e and gone in
this county. The delegates have, as
in the olden times, ratified the plac
ing on the ticket of the men whom
the bosses desired, and now the m at
ter is up to the people to say as to
whether they shall be elected.
That
they would make good offi ers, does
not as we see it, enter the question.
T he framers of the ticket were surely
smart enough to put up men whom
they thought would win |>opular ap
proval and la) elected. Otherwise
they would n o t !« exhibiting that o e
sight for which they are not"d. That
this action is in direct c* ntroversinn
of the principles of the primary law
for which they are expected to stand
is the question, and the one to be set
tled at the (Mills. If it is right fo r a
party, instead of the people, to say
w ho shall be the candidates for a par
ticular party, well and good— then let
us have done with the farce of a pri
mary «lection and the attendant ex
pense.
Before another issue of the Itemizer
com es out the great affair to which
the daily newspapers are now giving
u,i a vood deal of their space, will
probably have com e off, and the sn
ore m icy of the white over the colored
race be forever decided, or vice versa.
In asm uch as it seems that the affair
i) a necessary one to settle this much
mooted question, our symiaithies arcof-
course with the whi-e man, and we
hope to see him com e out winner in
the battle. There is only one thing
that makes us afraid, however, that
such may not be the case, and that is
this continual, or nearly so, grouch,
that the big tighter is re[*orted as hav
ing.
No
man
physically
sound
should allow himself to get -in that
frame of mind, and that is what
makes us leary of the outcom e— that
this oft mentioned grouch is but a re
flection of some physical disability
that do tors are not aware of, and
which may tend to lose him the fight
at a critical moment. W e hope that
our fears are groundless in this mat
ter, and that his bad temper is a dis
eased mind rather than a body one.
Next Tuesday will tell the tale, and
probably the last big prize fight of
Am erica will have passed into history,
a i from the trend of the public mind,
as we are able to feel it, such exhibi-
bitions have about run their course in
this country, and we doubt if ever
again a state can be found that will
allow of one taking place within their
borders.

A quintet of wide awake Cherry Fair
boosters made a trip into Yamhill an<l
Polk counties Thursday in the interest
of exhibits for this year’s Cherrv
Fair, and
met with marked suc
cess. The party consisted of VV. I. Sta
ley, president of the Cherry Fair asso
ciation, A. F. Hofer, secretary of the
board of trade; C. L. Dick, manager of
the fruit union ; R. C. Bishop and John
Roberts. The last named gentleman
chaperoned the party and transported
them safely in his peerless “ Peerless,”
and he is a peerless driver. He took
the boys one hundred and seven miles
without halt or accident. From Mc
Minnville the party went through to
Dallas over a magnificent stretch ol
i country and splendid roads. The Dal-
| las people entered into the proposition
| with their usual enthusiasm, ana it wat*
! not long until several cherry grow err
j were found who promised exhibits. Un-
| fortunately Dallas has no commercial
organization, and those good people
can not have the benefits which this
class of modern machinery gives the av
erage community. At Independence
everybody was at the horse races and
j there was nothing doing.—Statesman.
-------------------------------
Polk county republicans set the pace
for the state at large last Saturday by
calling a convention to nominate a
county ticket and elect delegates to a
-date convention. Quite a number o f
delegates were present from all over the
county, but the turnout was nothing
like the old convention days.
Dr. B. II McCallon called them to
order at 11 o ’ clock, as chairman of t h e 1
central committee, and VV. 1». Tooze Jr. I
was made secretary of the temporary i
organization. After lunch permanent
orgaization was made by electing VV*. L. ,
Tooze as chairman and H. G. Camp
bell, secretary.
The committee on credentials reported i
14‘J entitled to neats. Election of delegates |
to the state assembly was based on the
republican vote of each precinct. The
county was divided into districts and
each district elected it« own delegates,
the election being ratified later by the
assembly.
Delegates to the state assembly are*.
G. L. Hawkins, A. B. Starbuck, J. C.
Hayter, U. S. Loughary, I. F. Yoakum,

vention took place.
Any lady reader of this paper will re

Coffee Strainer Coupon privilege, from

plated, very pretty, and positively pre
vents all dripping of tea or coffee, The
Doctor sends it, with his new free hook
on “ Health Coffee” simply to introduce
this clever substitute for real coffee.
Dr. Shoop’ s Health Coffee is gaining its
great popularity because o f; first, it ex
quisite ta8t and flavor; second its abso
lute healthfullness : third, its economy

Shoop. Try it at your grocer’ s for a

Died
At Nortons on June 21, 1010, William
Darrough, aged 70 years. The cause of
death was old age. Mr. Darrough was
m old pioneer, having crossed the plains
by wagon in 1852. He leaves to mourn
his death a brother, James, who resides
in Salem, and a niece, Rose Hudson, in
Wallace. Idaho. Other distant relatives
are R. Freibert, of North Salem, Arthur
Glover and Miss Tony Byrn and A. E.
Hudson, who accompanied the body to
Salem for burial in Bethel cemetery,
Polk county. The funeral services were
held at the undertaking parlors of
Clough & Lehman at 8:30 Saturday
morning, by Rev. P. S. Knight,—States

In sickness, if a certain hidden nerve
goes wrong, then the organ that this
nerve controls will also surely fail. It
mav be a Stomach nerve, or it may have
.riven strength and support to the heart
>r Kidneys. It w h s Dr. Shoop that first
pointed to to this vital truth.
Dr.
Shoaps Restorative was not made to
lose the Stomach nor to temporarily
stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. That
dd-fashioned method is all wrong. I)r.
^hoop’ s Restorative goes directly to
hese failing inside nerves. The re
uarkahle success or this prescription
lemonstrates the wisdom of treating
the actual cause of these failing organs.

MENS’ CLOTHING
Since making this
call we have secured
some $700 in small
s u b s cr ip tio n s . We
want $4000 before we
begin boring to buy
casing and pay for the
labor. If it* is not
subscribed by next
Saturday night, we
will go elsewhere to
get it.
We have secured 2-
year leases on over
1000 acres of land, on
all of which we have
experts’ opinion that
oil can probably be
found.
We have bought
and paid for a first-
class drilling outfit;
that with the excep
tion of some minor
articles, such as extra
drills, etc., is all ready
to go to work.

The original project
ors have about runout
of ready cash in bring
ing the work up to
date, and all bills are
paid so far. The ac
counts are open to ev
eryone and this state
ment can be verified
by application to the
secretary at the Item
izer office.
Several thousand
dollars is now needed
to buy casing, etc.,
and pay the force of
drillers who will sink
the well, for their fu
ture work.
We are offering a
block of 5000 shares
for sale, and it is our
desire that this stock
be taken in as large
lots as possible, mak
ing book keeping less
burdensome and the
profits greater to all
concerned.
The output, as soon
as found, has been
contracted for, and all
we have to do is to
get it. The work is
in the hands of an ex
perienced driller, who
has drilled for Stand
ard Oil for 14 years
and is expected to
proceed without any
hitches, and if work
could at once be start
ed, we may yet be the
first well in Folk coun
ty to strike oil.
It is the desire of
the projectors to make
this a home institu
tion and not be com
pelled to go outside of
the county to secure
the necessary capital.
Are there men in
Polk who wish to in
vest their money in
this way. This
is
written for the pur
pose o f finding out,
before we try other
means of raising the
money. We sell at $1
