Polft County Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUBLISHEIi. Published Weekly at One Dollur per Yeni, Strictly in Advance. DALLAS, OREGON, December 4,1903 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. While the Oregon Legislature is correcting the defects in the new tax law, it should reduce the rate of interest on delinquent taxes from 12 per cent to 6 per cent. No reasonable objection can be urged against an interest charge on de linquent taxes, but the present rate of 12 per cent per annum is extor tionate. If a private citizen should be caught charging 12 per cent interest on money due him, he would be punished for usury and rightly so. There is no justice or reason in a law that permits a countv to exact a higher rate of interest than individuals areallow ed to charge. Make the rate 6 per cent the legal rale in this state and there will be no complaint. The Ninth Senatorial District, comprising Klamath, Lake, Crook and Grant counties, will not be represented in the upper house of the Oregon Legislature at the com ing special session. The voteis in those counties have decided not to hold an election for joint Senator in that district, as it will be im possible to get the vote canvassed and the representative in Salem by the time set for the session. The announcement of the Goat Show to be held in Dallas early in January is already attracting wideenread attention. The value of the annual shows at Dallas in promoting interest in the goat in dustry on the Pacific Coast is everywhere recognized, and it is Bafe to predict that the coming ex hibit of blooded Angoras will sur pass thope of all former years. County Treasurer E. V. Dalton paid $11,672.40 into the State Treasury, Saturday, as the last half of Polk county's 'state and agri cultural college tax for the year 1902.

The basket social given by the Dal las juveuilo brass band at City Hall last night was a highly successful affair. A good program was ren dered, and the band furnished several clever musical numbers. The sale of baskets was spirited, everyone being anxious to help the boys iu a finan cial way. The net proceeds of the entertainment were not known up to the hour when tho Observer went to press, but it is certain that a neat sum will be added to tho band's treasury. Woodmen Elect Officers.

The pleasant to take and harmless One Minute Cough Cure gives imme diate relief in all cases of Cough, Croup and LaGrippe because it does not pass immediately into the stomach, but takes effect right at the seat of the trouble. It draws out the inflamma tion, heals and soothes and cures permanently by enabling the lungs to contribute pure life-giving and life sustaining oxygen to the blood and tissues. Dr. Armstrong of Delia, Tex., prescribes it daily and says there is no better cough remedy made. Sold by Belt & Cherrington. , Soe , A. -iggjj' holiday ad in anoth'er col uilii'i'OT this paper.- .
