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

Lazardous to neglect, so important

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

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.
