The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. Dallas will get another large sawmill in the near future. The OnsERVKK is not at liberty to divulge the plans of the men who are behind the enterprise, but it is sufficient at this time to say that the mill will be built, and that it will be operated on a scale that will materially aid the growth and business of the town. Dallas is already prosperous and the good times are just beginning. Dallas is becoming a railroad center of no small importance. The county seat of Polk county now has connection with the out side world by three lines of rail . raid. The Southern Pacific operates a daily passenger train between this city and Portland, leaving Dallas at 7 a. m., and arriving at 7:20 p.m. The Independence motor connects with this train in the evening, and carries passengers to Monmouth and Independence. The motor also gives the people of Dallas connection with the West Side (rain, to and from Portland. The Dallas & Falls City railroad leaves Dallas in the morning a few minutes after the departure of the Portland passenger train, and re turns in time to give the Falls City people connection with the after noon train to Portland. The Falls vny train leaves JUanas again in the afternoon and returns at night before the departure of the Inde- 1 Tl penaence motor, liy coming on this train, and staying in Dallas over night, the Falls City people are enabled to catch the early morning train for Portland. As the train service is increased, the mail facilities are also extended and improved. The Southern Pacific depot is a busy place these days, and it is no uncommon sight to see lour or nve trains in the yards at one time. Dallas is com ing to the front at a very satisfactory pace. TO RUN THE CAMPAIGN There is probably some truth in the report that President Roosevelt would like lo have Senator Hanna remain at the head of the national committee and to manage the cam paign of 1904. The senator is an able and Domilar man. who has shown his capability as a campaign director bv his good work in 1896 and 1900. Probably no man in the country could have managed those campaigns better than did the Ohio statesman. He had the whole situation at his command throughout the entire battle in each year. The Republican party had confidence in hi ability even in the campaign of 1896, when he was comparatively a new man in politics. The skillful manner in which he managed the preliminary work in getting the nomination for McKinley showed that he was an adept at the business of winning and holding the support of men. Nobody probably could do better work in this direction in 1904 than could the present head of the committee. But, of course, the Republicans are not restricted to any one man as a party manager for the coming campaign. Under any sort of leadership in the national com mittee which can be adopted they have an excellent chance to sweep the country. It is said that Senator Foraker would like to take the job of managing the canvass if Senator Ilanna should decline. There is - -- --7St h) - " W V.

Dallas, a thriving inland city of about 1500 inhabitants, the metropolis and county seat of Polk county, is by no means slow. Up-to-date in every thing pertaining to the upbuilding of the town and surrounding country, she has re cognized the fact that this deficiency chould be attended to.

The Observer acknowledges the receipt of a copy of the 21st annual catalogue of the Oregon State Normal School, at Monmouth. The Normal is doing good work, and is enjoying a healthy growth The number of students enrolled in the Normal Department last year was 214. Prospects are bright most people suppose. for a still larger attendance next year. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear vhen the kid neys are out of order or diseased.

Pi U itt & Co., I tiicnw The Southern Pacific Company, of Kentucky, with a capital stock of $197,849,227.40, was among the cor. porations wnicn niea its annual re port in the office of the Secretary of State "Wednesday. The Orecron & California Railroad Company, with a capital stock of $19,000,000, also filed a report. The reports show that E. H. Harriman is president of both com panies; that Riohard Koehler has been appointed agent in Oregon and George H. Andrews attorney in fact. Although the time for filing reports has expired, about 100 corporations presented their annual statements to. day. Those who are delinquent may report within in 20 days, but after that time they will be subject to a fine o $100. All the leading companies are filing their reports as required by law and many are already paying their license taxes, although these are not due until July 15. So far as appears at the office of the Secretary of State there is no disposition to evade the law, for those who are late in filing their reports seem to have delayed through negligence. Some of those who have been talking of testing the validity of the law by suits in court have complied with its provisions. .secretary or state imnnar nas no fear that the act of 1903, imposing ioaaea tax, will bo declared unconsti tutional, for similar laws in other states, requiring the payment of much heavier taxes, have been upheld. The contests in other states were based upon the contention that the cor porations had already paid taxes up on their property and that the license tax laws were unconstitutional, be cause they imposed double taxation, The courts held, however, that the license taxes were fees required as compensation for the privilege of- do ing business as corporations, a privi lege expressly conferred by the state. The general belief that the Oregon corporation tax law is constitutional is shown by the fact that companies represented by the leading attorneys of Portland have filed their reports without a protest. If there were any doubt about the validity of the law, these attorneys would be likely to know it. A few smaller companies have written to the Secretary of State expressing a doubt as to the validity of the law, but in every instance he informs them that the law will be strictly enforced and that companies desiring to maintain their right to transact business in this state as cor porations must comply with its terms. It is a fact, which has not been given much prominence, that the new cor poration tax law cuts off a consider able slice from the income of the Secretary of State. Under the old law the Secretary was allowed to put in his own pocket such small fees as the corporations were required to pay. In helping to frame and secure the passage of the new law, and in enforc ing it, Secretary ot State Dunbar therefore works against his own financial interests, but in tho interests of the state.
