DALLAS, OREGON, JULY 17, 1903.
The way to build up Dallas is to pat
ronize Dallas people.
MATERIAL IS ORDERED
ine for Dallas Water Works Will
Jiegin to Arrive Inside of Thirty
Days.
H. V. Gates, who has the contract
to build and operate a system of
water-works in Dallas, writes from
Ban Francisco that all orders for
material have been placed, and that
delivery of the same will begin Inside
of thirty days. Mr. Gates will arrive
In Dallas next week, and will at once
begin work on the ditch for the con
sult from Canyon Creek to the
reservoir west of town.
A workshop will be erected on the
vacant lot adjoining the Southern
Pacific track? near the public school
building, and all material will be
stored there aa it arrives. It is the
contractor's intention to complete the
work on the mountain end of the con
duit before the rainy season begins,
and to this end a large force of men
and teams will be employed from the
beginning in digging the ditch and
hauling the pipe out to the mountains.
The work will be continued on the
lower end of the line and in the city
throughout the Winter months at all
times when the weather will permit,
The contractor estimates that it will
requiro six months to build the works,
It is said that
there are many
persons who
are unwilling that
their children should work; that
they even want the law invoked to
keep children from work, partly
from the sentimental notion that
the necessity of labor is a hardship
and a curse, and partly from the
common though mistaken notion
that the cause of labor union
labor will be hurt if children are
permitted or taught todoanything.
But will such persons stop for a
moment's thought? What is to
become of children of their own
children if not brought up to
work? It is the most impressive
question that can beputto parents.
In our own state there is no
possibility of "child slavery." There
are no. sweatshops. There are no
great coal mines. There is nogreat
factory system. If young persons
are not put to work or allowed to
work till they are grown, or nearly
grown, it is very mtie worK ana
none of account that they will. do
afterward.. There is no danger
that children will be overworked
in Oregon, and they who would
bring children up without Tequir
ing them to work or getting the
discipline in labor necessary for
their self-support, are the worst
enemies alike of the children and
of the state. Parents Bhould shud
der at the thought of letting their
children come up to manhood and
womanhood without instruction in
the doctrine and discipline of labor.
There is a sad and pathetic folly in
saying that "childhood should be a
happy time," without thought of
work or need of it, and that "cares
will come soon enough." The cares
will come all the sooner, and with
cumulative force, if children are
not taught how to work and the
necessity of it. No danger that
men, women or children, in a
country like this, will work too
much or too hard. And the young
persons who are required to work
as they ought to work are not the
nes who will fill the reform
schools, the brothels and the pen
itentiaries. Oregonian.

WILL ASK FOR $700,000. .'
A conference was held in Port
land Friday between the full Con
gressional delegation from the state
of Oregon, comprising Senators
Mitchell and Fulton and Congress
men Williamson and Hermann,
and a committee on behalf of the
Lewis and Clark Fair, and Jeffer
son Myers, president of the Lewis
and Clark Exposition State Com
mission. The object of the con
ference was to discuss the question
of securing an appropriation from
Congress at the next session for the
fair. The matter was thoroughly
discussed by all the gentlemen in
attendance, the representatives of
the fair presenting what they
thought would be reasonable re
quests, and the honorable gentle
men who represent the etate call
ing attention to the difficulties that
would be encountered and the most
practical method of bringing the
matter before Congress so as to
procure favorable action.
It was practically decided at the
conference that a general appropri
ation of $500,000 would be asked
for, and that an appropriation of
$100,000 would be a&ked in each
case for an Alaska exhibit and for
an exhibit from Uncle Sam's Pacific
possessions, the Philippines and
the Hawaiian Islands. The ques
tion also arose, on the suggestion
of one of the gentlemen present, to
ask for an exhibit in the way of a
loan of fine statuary from the
National Government to adorn the
Oregon building at the fair.

"I was a total wreck could not sleep or eat,"
writes Mr. j. C. Beers, of Berryman, Crawford
Co., Mo. "'For two vears I tried medicine from
doctors but received very little benefit. I lost
flesh and strength, was not able to do a good
day's work. 1 commenced taking Dr. Pierce'J
Golden Medical Discovery, and when I had
taken one bottle I could sleep and my appetite
was wonderfully Improved. I have taken five
bottles and am still improving."
The sole motive for substitution is to
permit the dealer to make the little more
profit paid by tbe sale of less meritori
ous medicines. He gains ; you lose.
Therefore, accept no substitute for

MONEY IS EXHAUSTED
Secretary of State Will Not Pay Any
More Veterans Claims.
The secretary of state has decided to
pay ho claims of the Indian War
Veterans beyond the $100,000 appro
priated by the legislature for that
purpose, nor will he audit and issue
certificates of indebtedness for the
claims beyond the appropriation.
This decision was made after the
attorney-general rendered an opinion,
holding that no warrant of law exist
ed for the auditing of these claims
when the funds provided for their
payment were exhausted, and no war
rant can legally be drawn.
Under the opinion the secretary will
receipt for and file the claims reach
ing his office, when the appropriation
Is exhausted, he will notify each
claimant to the effect, referring the
claims to the next legislature for
action by that body. There will be
about 300 of these claims that will re
main unpaid, and a recommendation
will bo made to the next legislature
for a further appropriation to meet
these demands, aggregating about
$50,000.
Meanwhile the claimants, will have
to be patient and await the action of
the lawmakers. Mr. Dunbar, in dis
cussing the matter, said that the
claims of the Indian War Veterans
were not a fixed charge against the
state, and there was no warrant of law
for their payment, as Is In the case in
the fixed charges against and ex
penses of the government, and, much
as he regretted to be compelled to hold
up further payments, the only course
open to him would be to refer the case
to the legislature.
All claims received after the ex
haustion of the appropriation will be
filed, as stated above, and receipts
issued, acknowledging the filing of
the same.

JUDGMENT IS REVERSED
Supreme Court Hands Down
cision In Sears-Daly Case.
De-
The Supreme Court of Oregon hand
ed down a decision Monday in the
case of Van B. Sears, respondent vs.
Phya Daly, appellant, from Marion
county, reversing the judgment of the
lower court. -
This was an action against several
defendants upon a promissory note
alleged to have been executed in be
half of plaintiff as administrator of
the Isaac Ball estate. Mrs. Phya
Daly answered, denying the execution
of the note by her, and alleged that
her signature on the note was a
forgery. Jn his reply the plaintiff
alleged that Mrs. Daly had ratified
the signature. After trial verdict and
judgment were rendered for plaintiff,
and Mrs. Daly appealed.
In the court below, the trial Judge
instructed the jury that there is a pre
sumption that a note was regularly
executed, but that the presumption
may be overcome by other evidence.
The Supreme Court holds that this
was an error, and says :
"In an action upon a promissory
note, where its execution is denied by
the defendant there is no presumption
that it was regularly executed. In
such case the plaintiff must establish
the fact that it is the note of the de
fendant, and on this proposition he
has the burden of . proof throughout.
In case an instrument In form of a
promissory note is shown or admitted
to have been executed, certain pre
sumptions will attach to it in the
hands of the holder such as that it
was made for a valuable considera
tion, regularly indorsed for value
before maturity, etc. But where the
making of the note is the point in
issue, no presumption can attach un
til its execution is shown.

DALLAS, Or., July 14 (To the
Editor) I leave this morning, full-
handed in every way, for. my new
home in old Kentucky, where I expect
to enter the Theological Seminary at
Louisville. I ask this space to thank
the good people and many friends for
their kind assistance in the past two
years. The success I have had is
mainly due to the co-operation of
friends, both in and out of the church,
who have faithfully stood by me. I wish
to assure one and all that I appreciate
it.

BRIGHT'S DISEASE.
The largest sum ever paid for a pre
scription, changed hands in San Fran
cisco, August 30, 1901. The transfer in
volved in coin and stock $112,500.00 and
was paid by a party of business men for
a specific for Bright's Disease and Dia
betes, hitherto incurable diseases.
They commenced the serious investi
gation of the specific Nov. 15, 1900.
They interviewed scores of the cured
and tried it out on its merits by putting
oyer three dozen cases on the treatment
and watching them. They also got phy
sicians to name chronic, incurable cases,
and administered it with the physicians
for judges. Up to Aug. 25, eighty-seyen
per cent of the test eases were either
well or progressing favorably.
There being but thirteen per cent of
failures, the parties were satisfied and
closed the transaction. The proceedings
of the investigating committee and the
clinical reports of the test cases were
published and will be mailed free on ap
plication. Address John J. Fclton

Married.
MULKEY-FOECE At the home of
the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
C. E. Force, in Monmouth, Oregon,
Tuesday evening, July 14, 1903, Mr.
Phillip J. Mulkey and Miss Ethel
Force, Kev. I. N. Mulkey, father of
the groom officiating.
The wedding was a quiet one, only
members of the families of the con
tracting parties being present. Mr.
Mulkey is well known in Polk county,
having taught for several years in
the public schools after graduating
from the State Normal School at Mon
mouth. When the war with Spain
broke out, he enlisted as a member of
the Oregon Volunteers, and 'served
with hi3 regiment in the Phillipine
campaign. Eeturning home, he taught
school in Tillamook county, and for
the past two years has been principal
of the public school at Arlington
Gilliam county. He is a courteous
and talented gentleman, and has
many friends and acquaintances,
among whom he is deservedly popular.
His bride is a member of one of Mon
mouth's prominent families, and is a
charming lady. She is also a gradu
ate of the Normal, and has taught
several terms of school in Polk county
with great success. Mr. and Mrs.
Mulkey begin their married life with
the kind wishes of a host of friends.
They will be at home at Oakdale,
Wash., after August 1.
The Children's Day exercises of the
United Evangelical Church will be
held in the College chapel, Sunday
evening.
The picture of the "Queen of the
Carnival" girl, in coquettish pose, has
taken the place so long held in the
newspapers by the college athlete,
clad in baggy trousers and striped
sweater. The change is a pleasing
one, as sameness grows tiresome.
The same remark will apply when the
rotation in sports brings the football
champion and the team president into
prominence again. Looking at the
pictures each in its season, we wonder
vaguely how we used to get along in
the good old days when boys plowed
and hoed and worked at the smithy,
and girls washed dishes and helped
with the general housework, and both
put in their leisure with their books,
and had not time to pose on pictures.
Of course, nobody wants to go back to
those old-fashioned times, but the
sturdy lads and smiling lassies that
belonged to them stand out plainly in
memory and do not suffer by the com
parison. Oregonian.
