- 1"- I Polft County .Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOH AND PUBLISHER, Published Weekly at One Dollur per Yeai, Strictly In Advance. DALLAS, OREGON, APRIL 17, 1903. The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. Th Ob'krver I If s. il . . . that no serious opposition i bt ii.g encountered in Bccming a right-of-way for the water pipe line from Canyon Creek, to Dallas from property-owners along th route, and it is believed dial tin' work ili the plant can begin within , the next'month. One or two partite, have refused to grant the email concepsiniiH atked for, and it -nil be necegHHry to begin ai. action against them at once to secure the same. Now is the time for the peo ple of Dallas to stand together and aid the council in getting the plant under way as soon as possible. If there is to be any opposition, let it come from outside parties, and not from the people of the town. The water-works must be built this Summer. Glancing through the columns of last week's Prineville Review, our attention was attracted by the following editorial paragraph: "Prineville has the best water and electric light system of any town of its size in the state and the rates are more reasonable than any we have come in contact with." The electric light and water plants in Prineville are owned by the city, and operated under a lease by II. V. Gates on substantially the same terms as are provided for in the Dallas ordinance. Mr. Gates also operates the Heppner water-works, and our exchanges from that town have nothing but good words for the manner in which the same are conducted. COURT HOUSE NOTES EEAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

It appeals to you, when the fruit hunga ripe and sweet on the tree late in February, or early in March. Then tho blossoms break out, and the trees are yellow with golden globes, and white with orange flowers. It may to that a flurry of snow has whitened the mountain tops, and then you have an artistic background for a tropical forest. Tho air is full et sunshine, and heavy with fragrance as night comes on, and then, if the moon be shining, you may hear at midnight through open windows, tho song of tho mocking-bird in the scented grove, and it never seemed so melodious before. An experience like this is possible any winter, and it is worth a journey of a thousand miles, while you cun have it, by taking tho scenic Suasta ISoute through the grand and pictur esque Siskiyou and Shasta Mountains, to Southern California.
