Pol (Ectmiv Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUMJSHKR Published Weekly at One Dolliir per Strictly In Advance. Yeai. DALLAS, OREGON, Novbmbbb 27, 1903 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronise Dallas people. jfalls CCtt IRotes The Legislature should Organize promptly, Repeal the present tax law, Re enact the old tax law, after reducing the interest rate from 12 per cent to 6 per cent, and Adjourn, Oregon is regaining her old-time nrestiee in the United States Senate. Before re enacting the old tax law, the Oregon Legislature should amend the section providing ioran interest charge of 12 per cent per annum on unpaid taxes. JNo reasonable objection can be urged against an interest charge on de linquent taxes, but it is unjust to exact interest at the rate of 12 per cent per annum, when the legal rate of interest in the state is only 6 per cent per annum. The "State of Oregon" is the "People of Ore gon," and it is manifestly unfair for the Legislature to say that the county governments shall exact a higher rate of interest than in dividuals are allowed to charge. Make the rate 6 per cent, and there will be no complaint. DALLAS GETS ICE FACTORY Work on Building and Begin February Plant 1. Will A largo ice factory and cold-storage warehouse will be bunt in uaiiaa tins Winter. The plant will be located on Main street, ana worK on tne Duiid ings will begin February 1. The factory will be equipped with late improved machinery, and will have a capacity or nve tons or ice aaiiy. xne two men who are behind the enter prise are wide awake business men, and one of them has had many years' of successful experience in the ice and cold-storage business. TheOBSEBVEB is not at liberty to disclose the names of these men, but it can be said that they have ample capital at their com tnand to conduct the business on a largo scale. A cold-storage room will be fitted up in tne building, and the llrni will handle fish, eggs, butter, poultry, vegetables, and all kinds of perishable farm produce. In ad dition to dealing in these com modities, cold-storage room will be rented to grocers, butchers, hotel keepers and others who have no rofrigorators of their own. The firm will also deal at wholesale in soda and mineral waters and other carbonated drinks, Dallas has long needed an enter prise of this kind, and it is certain that an ice factory will prove a pay ing investment. Many times last Summer there was an ice famine in every town on the West side of the Willamette river, notwithstanding the "fact that the factorios in Portland, Saiera, Albany and other cities were kept running day and night. Dallas has excellent shipping facilities, and there is no reason why a factory lo cated here should not supply ice to every valley town between Corvallis apd Forest Grove. Ira Lowe, of Falls City, was a Dallas visitor, Tuesday. W. M. Shewey, who is visiting rela tives in Clinton county, Missouri, will return to Oregon early next Spring.

THE FIRST STEP Of the child is an event iu the mother'i life. How Dioud she feels when the nttenmt to walk is begun so early cs tc evidence childish courage and sturdy Rtreniah. Such pride should be enioyeo by every mother. But it often happem that the child ts timid, weak and deficient in vitality, and clings to the mother's arms with no desire to walk or wlay.
