DALLAS, OREOOJf, Mat J, 1903.
The ivay to build up Dallas is to pat
ronise Dallas people.
The city council is making good
progress in the work of securing a
right-of-way for the water-works
pipe line between Dallas and Can
yon Creek. The rights-of-way across
all the Jands except those owned by
Judge li. r. Jioise and Mrs. M. h
llallock have been secured at a
nominal cost to the city, the con
sideration in several cases being
only one dollar. In the case of
Judge Boise and Mrs. Hallock no
agreement can be reached as to the
amountof compensation that should
be paid for the necessary rights,
and the city has been compelled to
bring actions against these parties
for the condemnation of the lands
sought to be appropriated. These
cases will come up for trial before
Judge Burnett at the regular Mhv
term of Circuit Court for Polk
County. The council is proceed
ing under the authority voted to
that body at two different election
and the mutter will be earn
through to a Huccesful teiminatio
and the water-works built. The
will of the people, as plainly
expressed in both elections, is not
to be lightly set aside or held for
naught, and no thought of rest wi
be entertained until the desire
improvement becomes an actua
reality. The Observer is pleasei
to note that many citizens of Dalla
who opposed the Gates water system
before the recent election are now
found among its ardent supporters.
and are lending to the Council a
possible aid and encouragement,
These men fully appreciate the fact
that Dallas munthave water-work
and that the Gates system is th
one desired by a majority of th
people, consequently they are wil
ing to Jay aside tneir persona
preferences and work for the genera
good of the city. No citizen ta
afford to fight an improvement tha
means so much to the welfare of
Dallas, and now that a plan for
water-works has been adopted by
the council and endorsed by th
people, it is the duty of all to stand
together and help the city officers
to carry out the work. The counci
is striving earnestly to secure
right-of-way at the very lowest
possible cost to the taxpayers, and
so far they have been successful in
keeping the expenses at a low
knotch. Every good word said fo
me enterprise maices the work
easier. On the other hand, every
kick costs the city good, substantia
dollars.

IS ALL NONSENSE.
United States Senator Charles W.
Fulton has been in the city since
yesterday, says a Salem correspond
ent, attending to some legal matters
in the supreme court and in
cidentally enjoying a very pleasant
visit with his numerous friends and
admirers in this city and county.
Senator Fulton is very anxious for
republican success in the con
gressional contest which is now on,
and emphasises the importance of
Bending from Oregon this year a
man who is in harmony with the
principles of the national adminis
tration and the dominant party in
congress. Asked about the feeling
of President Roosevelt and the ad
ministration generally towards Mr.
Hermann, Mr. Fulton said:
"It is all nonsense to talk about
Mr. Hermann being objectionable
to the President or the cabinet. The
fact is that Mr. Hermann is very
popular with the President, with
congress and with nearly all the
heads of the departments. Secre
tary Hitchcock and himself had
differences of opinion relative to
administrative details, but Mr.
Hitchcock makes no charges of dis
honesty, incompetency or repre
hensible conduct against Mr.
Hermann. His chief complaint
against Mr. Hermann was that he
was not sufficiently severe upon
Oregon men who were holding
official positions in the United
States land department in this
state, so that really Mr. Hermann
was blamed for not sharing with
the secretary a suspicion of dis
honesty' against the people wh
have been Mr.Hermann'sneighbors
and constituents for these man
years.
"The differences between the two
men will not impair Mr. Her
matin's strength or usefulness i
congress in the least, and norepub
lican who wishes to please Preside!
Roosevelt and his administration
will cast his ballot for thedemocratic
nominee for congress."

Jimmy Reilly Is Preparing For

His
Jimmy Reilly, of Seattle, the well
known light-weight pugilist, arrived
in Dallas Friday evening, and will go
into training next Monday for his
fight with George Memsio (Dick Fitz
patrick) which is to be pulled off as
preliminary to the Tracey-Gans con
test in Portland on May 13. Reilly
and his trainer, H. Wilkinson, have
selected the old woolen mill building
for training quarters, and will begin
active work next Monday.
Reilly, who is a brother of Tommy
Reilly, tho Paciilo Coast light-weight
champion, has fought some of the
best men of his class in the world, and
has a long string of victories to his
credit. He fought a 15-round draw with
Young Corbett; a 20-round draw with
Martin Donny ; a 15-round draw with
Cocker Tweedio, the champion light
weight of Australia; a 15-round draw
with Dick Fitzpatrick, and won 12
battles by knockouts in San Francisco,
He will remain in Dallas until the
date of his bout with Fitzpatrick, and
if a class in boxing can be secured he
will make his home here during tho
