The Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Association of Oregon will hold its annual oratorical contest at the M. E. Church in this city this eve ning at 8 o'clock. Eight colleges will be represented: Albany, Cor valhs, Newberg, Forest Grove, Mc Minnville, Philomath, Monmouth and Dallas. The orators who wiL come from these colleges are men who have won first honors in oratory in their respective schools. It will be the most extensive contest ever held in Oregon, as there will be more colleges represented than in any previous contest, and the orators who are to speak are men who are especially strong, having won the honor to represent their schools after severe rivalry with their fellow-students. For this reason and because of the extensive advertising done by the Dallas students, people are expected to at tend from at least ten other towns. McMinnville will drive across the country with a good-sized delega tion; Philomath will be here with close to a score, and Newberg has promised to send a whole carload. Other colleges will send delegations of a dozen or more, A conference lasting from 9 o'clock this morning until 4:30 o'clock this afternoon will be held in the College Chapel, where the various delegations will be present to discuss matters relating to the Association. The contest to be held here is but one of the fifteen which are to take place this year in fifteen different states of the Union, taking in all the principal states from Oregon to Massachusetts. . The two best speakers of this evening, or the two who win first and second honors respectively, will go to Cor valHs on May 22 to compete with the winners from California and Washington, The Washington contest was held recently, and a man from the University of Washington and another from Whitman College will represent that state in the Corvallis contest. Berkeley and Stanford were among the great universities furnishing contestants for Califor ma; so tne winners this evening will find plenty of warm opposition at Corvallis. A similar inter-state contest wil be held in Iowa for the middle states, and one in Ohio for the Eastern states, and next year a great National contest will be held in St. Louis during the Exposition, when the winners from Oregon will have opportunity to compete with the winners from every state in the Union where the college movement has been established. PUBLIC OPINION WILL RULE Correspondent Has Sound Views on Greatest Economic Question of the Day. DALLAS, OR., April 27 (To the Editor.) That the labor ques tion today is the all-absorbing question, and the one question that overshadows all others from an economic point of view, no one will attempt to deny. The very founda tions of all industrial institutions seemingly are rocking, whilecapital and labor wrestle fiercely for the mastery. Some say that war and bloodshed are inevitable, but this we do not believe will be the out come, lor we have an abiding con fidence in the intelligence and patriotism of the great American public opinion, against which no power of money or brawn can stand. The American public is today delving into the relations between capital and labor with unbiased minds, seeking the greatest good to the greatest number. This is the paramount question the question that overshadows all others and the one great question that, above all others, is not tainted with TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Riggs, Prop. sectionalism, and the masses are everywhere seeking the solution Every citizen is knitting his brow in his earnest endeavor to think out some plan by which labor and capital may each have a just d vision of profits, and in the hop that some mode of determination on this point that will be just and final will be found. . The authorities from Mr. Roose velt down to the humblest executive are earnestly striving to assist in developing measures and means to bring about this result. The public press is educating the masses as well as capita, that this end may be obtained peaceably and ustly. The public schools and colleges are in the discussion debating earnestly this all-im portant question, and all grades and classes in this great country are working to the end that a eolu tion may be found that will bring happiness and a just reward to the toilers of the land, and also that capital may receive a fair compen sation for money actually employed This is already the verdict of the people; the verdict of the greatest body in every civilized country the consumers which is today the great arbitrator of the labor ques tion; for surely no matter how high wages or interest may go, the con sumer 1b the one who has the para mount interest, for on him must fall the responsibility of paying every cent that everything costs, with interest on the investment Capital cannot pay the unrestrained demands of labor and work with an unrestrained watered stock, for prices would go to heights that would work untold hardship on the great mass of consumers, many of whom have limited and fixed in comes that cannot be changed with every flight of prices. Therefore, the consumer's interest must be considered in the adjustment of the great question. We may be considered optimistic in our views, but we believe we are (Continued on rage Four) Weakened My Heart And Nerves. QulcKly and Com pletely Cured by Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and Nervine. If, after an attack of LaGrippe, your strength does not return, yon cannot sleep, or rest or eat; if you have frequent headaches, if your heart flutters, blood is thin, your cir culation poor, you are in more danger than when stricken with fever and in the deadly grasp of grip itself. The after effects of La Grippe are terrible. To guard aeainst its dangers, strengthen the heart with Dr. Miles' Heart Cure which, by enriching the blood and improving its circulation, will cure any affection of the heart and strengthen it against f u: tht-r attacks. Tone up the system and revitalize the nerves with Dr. Miles' Nervine. When your nerves are in proper condition, you need never fear the attacks of LaGrippe or its terrible after effects. "From mv personal experience with Dr. Miles' Remedies i always take pleasure in recommending them to my customers. Six years ago I suffered from a sivere attack of LaGrippe which left me with a weakened heart and nervous system. I was weak, run down, f ight 'ned at my condition and miser able. 1 Uitd two bottles each of Dr. Miles Restorative Nsrvine and New Heart Cure and I was quickly and completely cured. furthermore 1 have never had a return of the tr lUbie.

Well, from now on, you just watch the Obsebver and you will get next. Oh, no; Falls City is not asleep with the coming of these bright spring days instead of be coming afllicted with that awful malady, spring fever, every one seems to have taken a new lease on life, and all is energy and go-ahead. They say a foot ball game is slow unless someone gets a-plen cy. Well, Falls City plays the game in tune with the times, to which Willie Tice can testify, since he carries a broken arm in a sling, the effects of last Thursday's noon-hour game. The older residents of Falls City will remember Dayton Bond, a former resident of this place, and also our first City Marshal. For some time he and his family have resided at Shaniko, in Eastern Ore gon. While there, he was taken down with emall-pox, and died on April 17 afc?r being sick but ten days. The youngest daughter, also Sadie White, a sister of Mrs. Bond, are down with the same disease. On account of the quarantine, particulars are hard to get. For a whole quarter of a century, Fred Holraan has survived the ravages of time, and on theevening of the 18th t he young folks arranged a surprise for him togently remind him that he had just passed across the bachelors' dead-line. All present enjoyed the evening. Last Sunday being the anniver sary of the Odd Fellows of Oregon, services were held in the Christian church at this ulace. and Prof. Metxger, of Dallas, talked to an interested audience, his topic being illustrative of Oddfellowship. All members of our various orders should remember not to give way to the tendency of the Springtime, but bear in mind that it takes attendance to keep upinterast. It is announced that there will be no preaching services at the M. E. Church next Sunday on ac count of Rev. Bristol's absence he having gone to attend the conven tion at Eugene. The attendance of our 6chool has increased to an extent that necessi tates having three teachers, Merton Ellis being the third instructor employed. Mrs. A. M. Bryant, a well-known and respected former resident of Falls City, has returned to her home here, and we are all pleased to hear that she intends to make her permanent home amoncr us. o earl, her youngest daughter, will oin her here late in the Summer. Those who should know say that the light frosts we have been having will not iniure the fruit now in ull bloom to any extent. It is con tinuous, cold rain that is to be eared. Our merchants all report business n a good, healthy condition, and all outward appearances go to verify the reports. Local painters have more work than they can handle, and the change in the appearance of fences and painted dwellings, street repairs and sidewalks can only be appreciated when seen. D. F. Courier is building a 30 by 50, one story structure on the lot south of Main street, where the old butcher 6hop stood. It is reported that he is to start a house furnish ing good 8 8 tore. C. J. Pugh, the jeweler and con fectioner, is neatly located in his new stand, next door east of the barber shop. On Monday afternoon the engine of the Bryan-Lucas Lumber Company was steamed up, tested nd found to be in perfect trim. Manufacturing operations will com mence at this mill before many days, lhe plant in the mountains has been running for some time. The Coast Range Lumber Com pany are rushing their repair work as fast as possible, so as to be ready to run full blast by the time the railroad is here.

V - J AbsoIuieryfPura THERE IS mSUSSTJTUm June and Mr. Gerlinger says the locomotive whistle will announce its arrival in the depot at Falls City. The bridge below town is completed, and is a substantial structure. Ira Mehrling has all but com pleted the bridge across theLuckia mute on the Al. Brown place. The bridge is a private one, and will add greatly to the value of the place. Lagrippel Don't ask who has it, but ask if there is anyone who hasn't had it. II. S. Montgomery is still quite sick, but all the rest of the many who have been ill are, I believe on the mend. Measles were brought to Falls City by a family lately from the East. T. L. Dunsmore, who was the first to be initiated, is up and around again. Aside from a littlo boy who is afflicted in a light form, no one else has taken them. J. R. Ford, who has been very sick for several days, is around town again, and will probably re turn in a few days to his work in Eastern Washington. Mrs. Willard Gilbert, of Dallas, is visiting her mother, Mrs. S. II. Tetherow. Our town is filled with arrivals from the East, and most of them are favorably impressed with this locality. N. E. S. SOCIAL AT LEWISVILLE Proceeds Go Towards Building Addi tion to Methodist Parsonage. The Women's Home Mission Society, of Lewisville, will give a literary program and basket social Friday evening, May 8.
