WILL CONTEST TONIGHT
Representatives of Eight Colleges
Will Strive for Oratorical
Honors at M. E.
Church.
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

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

Weakened My Heart

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

Hello, central! Ring up Falls
Cityl What's up now? Haven't
heard from there for some time.
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.

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.
