DALLAS, OREGON, November IS, 1903
The way to build up Dallas is to pat
ronize Dallas people.
ARE RUSHING THE WORK
Rainy Weather Does Not Delay Con
struction of Dallas Waterworks.
FAVOR SHORT SESSION.
The Polk county members of the
Oregon Legislature favor no new
legislation at this time. Senator
B. F. Mulkev savs: "I think the
occasion for calling us together be
ing to correct an error in former
legislation, the members would be
very glad to adjourn as quickly as
the error disaDDears. There is no
occasion for new legislation. Be
sides business requirements at home
are doubtless such that members
would not care to spend more than
the time necessary, which need per
haps be but two or three days at
most."
Representative George L. Hawk
ins, who, by the way, is one of the
seven members who voted against
the passage of the new tax law,
favors a session just long enough to
re-enact the old measure. "Iam un
qualifiedly opposed to any general
legislation at this time," said
Mr. Hawkins yesterday. "I would
oppose any effort to take up
measures other than those designed
to relieve the state from the un
fortunate position in which it finds
itself as to the levying and collec
tion of taxes. This work should
not require moro than two or three
days at the outside.'' Mr. Hawkins
is not inclined to ask the Governor
to call a special session, as he was
in no way responsible for the pass
age of the law that has caused all
the trouble. He worked and voted
against any change in the old law,
and believes that those who were
responsible for the mistake of plac
ins the defective measure on the
statute bookf should take the lead
in securing its repeal.
Joint-Representative B. F. Jones,
of Polk and Lincoln counties, has
signed a petition asking the Gover
nor to call a special session, but is
not in favor of any general
legislation.
The people of Oregon can belter
afford to do without a special ees
sion of the Legislature than to have
that body meet and indulge in
general legislation at this time. No
county is clamoring for any general
legislation excepting Multnomah
county, and the interests of the
state should not bo sacrificed to
help Portland out of the dilemma
in which she was placed by her
own delegation. . The country
counties can get along without a
special session, and we hope that
the members living outside of
Multnomah county will not longer
allow themselves to be bulldozed
by the Portland delegation. There
has been entirely too much of this
work in the past, and it is time for
it to stop. The people of Oregon
desire no legislation at this time
farther than the repeal of the new
tax law and the re-enactment of
the old. If the legislators cannot
see their way clear to carry out
this wish and then promptly ad
journ, they would better be kept at
home.
Work on the Dallas waterworks
goes on steadily, despite the inclement
weather. Rapid progress has been
made In the construction of the system
during the last two weeks, and it be
gins to look as if the plant will be
rpiidv for operation several weeks
earlier in the Spring than was at first
fintiei oated. Practically all of the
material Is now on hand, and Con
tractor H. V. Gates is personally
supervising the work of rushing the
plant to completion.
The 12-inch main between thereser
voir and the edtre of town, a distance
of three-fourths of a mile, has been
laid, and ditching in the streets of the
city was begun Monday morning,
The ground is in good condition for
ditching, and dirt is being moved at a
Hvfilv rate. The heavy rains have
made the work of laying pipe very
disagreeable, but several hundred feet
of the 3j-inch mains were put down
this week. Much of the pipe in the
mountains west of town is already
under ground.
A gang of men was sent out to the
hills this week to finish the ditch be-
tweon the reservoir and the Hallock
mill. Work on the conduit was sus
pended two weeks ago, in order to
give the dipping crew a chance to get
ahead with their work. All of the
pipe is coated with hot asphalt both
inside and out, before it is hauled out
and distributed along the ditch, and
as each section of pipe lias to be kept
in the boiling asphalt about thirty
minutes before it is ready for laying,
this part of the work is necessarily
slow.
While the ditching and pipe-laying
is in progress in the city, it will be
necessary to close certain portions of
the streets to travel, but the restrictions
will be only temporary, and will cause
no particular inconvenieuce to the
traveling public or to any property
owner.
A Ucpvcud VJoinan
Will often feel compelled to stop tliB
clock whose ticking seetns unbearable to
her. In such a nervous condition the
woman needs a building up of the entire
system. It is useless to attempt tne cure
o I me nerves
while the cause
of the nervous
ness remains mr
cured. A very
common cause
of nervousness
in women is i
diseased condl
of the delicate
womanly organism.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription cures
womanly diseases and
the nervousness which
they cause. It changes
irregularity to regular

which weaken women,
heals inflammation and ulceration and
cures female weakness. It is a perfect
tonic and nervine, traiiamlizing tne
nerves, promoting the appetite and in
ducing relresuing sleep,
W!ien J first wrote you I had been to three
different doctors and two of them eaid I would
never get better without Roing to the hospital
for an operation," writes Mrs. iielma Erickson,
of 496 Rice Street, St. Paul, Minn. "Was not
able to do anything:. If I would get up and walk
to the kitchen and back I would have to lie in
bed for a day or sometimes two days. Now I

Ml Stuffed Up
That's the condition of ninny sufferers
from catarrh, especially in the morning.
Great difficulty ia experienced in clear
ing thu head and throat.
No wonder catarrh causes headache,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing,
pollutes the breath, deranges the stom
ach and affects the appetite.
To cure catarrh, treatment must be
fc"onstitulional alterative and tonic.
"I was afHletwl with catarrh. I took
medirlnrs of different kinds, giving each
a fuir trial; but pradually Rrvw worse until
I eou!d hardly hear, Lisle or Miull. 1 then

Only near relatives and intimate
friends were present to witness the in
teresting coremony that made these

wife. The bride was prettily gowned
in cream lansdowne, trimmed with
lace, and carried a shower boquet of

Ed Biddlo, tho Dallas foundryman
and machinist, has again demon
strated his ability to do the most diffi
cult repairing on short notice. Last
week the collector ring on the incan
descent dynamo gave out, and the
now ring ordorod from tho East not
having arrived, it was feared that the
plant would havo to bo shut down.
Wishing to avoid, if possible, this
expense to the company and inconven
ience to its patrons, Mr. Biddle was
called to look at the machine in the
hope that ho might bo able to make
tho needed repair. After making a
thorough study of the worn-out por
tion of the machine, ho returned to
his shop and in a few hours manu
factured a now ring to take tho place
of the old 0110. The dynamo is again
working satisfactorily, and Manager
Ellis is congratulating himself that
he is doing business in a town that
has a first-class machine shop and a
competent man in charge of it.

Ferhais yon have never thought of it
but the fa-t mwt he apparent to every

pills only makes a bad matter worse.

FROM SOUTH AFRICA
New Way of Using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from
Durban, Natal, South Africa, Bays: "As
a proof that Chamberlain's Couh Rem
edy is a cure suitable for old and young,
1 pen you the following: A neighbor ol
mine had a child just over two niontns
old. It had a very bad cough and the
parents did not know what to give it. I
suggested that if they would get a bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
put Borne upon the dummy teat the
baby was sucking it would no ..bicure
the child. This they did and brought
about a quick relief and cured the baby."
t his remedy is for sale by neon Drug
Company.

Jlall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly npontheblood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the diacase, and giving the patient strength
by building up tho constitution and assisting
nature in doinsr its work. The proprietors hav

Hearts
Are due to Indigestion. Ninety-nine of everj
one hundred people who have heart troubls
can remember when it was simple indiges
tion. It is a scientific fact that all cases ot
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but re the direct result of indi
gestion. All food taken Into the stomach
Which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, puffing it up against the
heart. This Interferes with the action oi
the heart, and in the course of time thai
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
