around Centralia is selling at
$100 per acre and upward, and that
the quality of soil is not to be com
pared with that found in Polk County.

Dr. Miles' Nervine Cured
Me.
Dr. Miles' Nervine will cure nervous pros
tration. It will bring sweet sleep and rest;
it will relieve the mind of the tendency to
worry; it will make the nerves strong and
the patient well, it has cured thousands. It
will cure you. Try it to-day.
"Some years ago I was stricken with nerv
ous prostration caused br overwork and
worry. I was in such a weakened, exhausted,
run down condition that I was unable to do
my housework. I felt too weak and tired to
even make calls on my neighbors. Fre
quently when out driving I would become so
exhausted that it seemed that I would die'
before I reached home. I was also troubled
with sinking spells at night which left me so
weak that I thought I could not live until
morning. I was in this deplorable condition
when one day Dr. Miles' Nervine was
brought to my notice. I had little faith in
proprietary remedies but determined to give
the Nervine a trial. After the second dose
of the Restorative Nervine I was able to sit
at the table and eat a meal, something I had
been unable to do for.many days. "I have
since taken a number of bottles of Nervine.
I consider myself cured. I am doing mv
own work and give Lir. Miles' Nervine credit
for my general good health. My object in
writing this is to recommend your medicine
but I cannot write as strongly as I feeL"

WOULD ABOLISH RESERVES
Senator C. W. Fulton Will Make
Strong Fight for Repeal of Law
Authorizing Their Creation.'
In a recent letter to the Oregonian,
Senator Charles W. Fulton, in his
vigorous and masterly way, gives his
view on the question of the forest re
serve policy of the interior depart
ment. The senator points out the
great disadvantage the state of Ore
gon would be under, should the con
templated enormous reserves be made
permanent, and believes that the
present law authorizing the creation
of forest reserves should be repealed.
In a clear and concise manner, he
points out how the creation of these
reserves are calculated to invite and
protect the perpetrator of frauds, and
charges that the information of the
proposed withdrawals leaked out from
Washington to the advantage of
speculators and dealers in lieu land.
Organized land grant companies have
largely profited by the forest reserves,
while the public and government
lost by them. The senator's views on
the question oughtto make Interesting
reading for the interior department.
With one-fourth of the area of the
state of Oregon withdrawn from settle
ment and placed in reserves, the
growth in wealth and population of
the commonwealth will be most
seriously retarded. The timber, min
ing, pastoral and agricultural inter
ests of the state will be seriously
affected by the permanent with
drawals, and the people of the state
ought to arouse to the importance of
the question and protest as vigorously
as the Oregon delegation is doing
against the unwise policy.
COLLEGE OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Registration of Students on opening
Day Was Larger Than That of
Many Older Schools In the
State.
The Dallas College authorities are
very muoh pleased with the outlook
for a successful year's work. The
attendance at this time is 25 per cent
larger than that of the corresponding
week of last year. Many new students
have registered, and quite a number
of the old as well as the new have not
reported.
The work of classifying the school
is much more satisfactory from year
to year, and the members of the faculty
are able to confine their work to their
respective departments. Classes are
now organized in all four years of the
studies of the College curriculum.
The new department in Expression
is well supported and bids fair to add
much to the interest of the school.
Miss rarrish, the teacher in this de
partment, is ready to arrange with
private pupils, and cau be seen at her
rooms on the first floor of the dormi
tory each afternoon from 1 :45 to i
m.
The Athletic Association is arrang
ing to begin the regular class work.
All students, unless physically dis
abled, or excused, will bo expected to
take physical culture iu class work
this year. Arrangements will be made
for the class to meet from 3 :15 to 4
p. m.

BEST TOWN IN THE VALLEY

years 01 my lire in ine iar-iameu
Willamette Valley, and having a
general idea of all the towns in the

cities in Western Oregon. We have
no direct connection with the Union
Depot in Portland, and we are located
on a branch line of the Southern Pacific
railroad, but notwithstanding these
inconveniences, we have the coming
town. Some of the reasons are these :
Our educational facilities are equal
to any, and better than those of many
towns. We have a stood public school.
with high school in connection, with
a good und sufficient corps of teachers
in each department. We have the
Dallas College, that is equal if not
superior to any like school in the state
for good, moral, manly training. The
President of the' College is Dr. C. C.
Poling, presiding elder of the Evan
gelical Church.
All branches of business are repre
sented here by live business men,
many of whom were raised in Dallas.
There are more young men in business
in Dallas than in any. town of like
size in Oregon. Among those who
were born here, or who were raised
here from early childhood, may be
mentioned the four Hayter brothers,
C. G. and F. J. Coad, Otho, Ralph
and Walter Williams, S. C. Dodson,
Claude and Harry Dunn, Clarence
and Orville Shultz, T. A. Riggs, C. E.
Shaw, Frank Brown, M. D. Ellis, Ross
Ellis, Lee and David Crider, Charles
Black, Lee Smith, H. G. Campbell,
Newton and Bert Guy, F. H. Muscott,
Alvis Lynch, F. A. Stiles and many
others. This alone is proof of the
business qualities of Dallas.
Then we have men of capital who
know a good thing and are willing to
risk their money in the erection of
manufacturing institutions, business
houses, and other improvements. The
Salem, Falls City & Western Railroad
Company have just completed their
line of railroad to Falls City, tapping
one of the finest belts of timber in
America i also, the assurance of ex
tensive Bawmills located right here in
Dallas in the very near future. The
W. W. Johnson Lumber Company is
located here, with two , other mills
near byone of them, an oak mill
also cutting a largeamountof lumber.
We have waterworks now under way
of construction by H. V. Gates, of
Hillsboro, a practical waterworks
man, which, when completed about
the first of the year, will not bo sur
passed in the state, Bull Run water
not excepted.
When the waterworks are completed,
our town will bloom as never before,
and our citizens will enjoy a luxury
not enjoyed by any other town of like
size. in the valley that of clear, cold,
sparkling, mountain water. We have
the best courthouse in Oregon, and
our county officers are taking time by
the forelock in putting the county
grounds in shape for 'a beautiful
lawn, by filling in with rich, sandy
loam, and thoroughly leveling the
same ready for seeding this Fall, and
ready tut water when it comes.
The resources of Polk County in
grain, . fruit, hops, vegetables, etc.,
are unsurpassed in the state, as has
been clearly demonstrated at the state
fair by Polk County taking first cash
prize of $350 for the best county ex
hibit. The goat Industry is at the
head of the list for Oregon in this
county.
All of these reasons, with many
others, might be given in proof that
Dallas is the best town in the Valley.
Should any one be' skeptical aa to the
truth of the above statements, we in
vite you to come and Investigate. We
have two good hotels here, either of
which will give you good accommo
dations. Yours for the making of Dallas the
best town of any size in the Valley,
