DALLAS, OREGON, JANUARY 8, 19W
The -way to build up Dallas is to pat
nrnl.i Dallas piople.
Have you registered?
The charter of McMinnville was
amended at the special session of
the legislature bo that the bonds
may bear 5 per cent interest instead
of 4 per cent. It is a very difficult
matter to place bonds for less than
5 per cent at the present time, and
in some cases a still higher rate of
interest is asked. Dallas', by the
way is fortunate. Her water bonds
were taken at 3 9-10 per cent the
lowest rate of interest we have
heard of in Oregon in the last 12
months.
A wise advertising man adopted
the motto, "Keeping everlastingly
at it brings success." The motto
is a good one for Oregon Angora
breeders in the matter of keeping
up the annual show at Dallas. The
bigger thing this show can be made,
the better it will be for Oregon. If
the breeders of the state stand by
the show year after year and do
their duty by it.and theenterprising
people of Dallas continue to do
their share, the time will come
when the show will be one of
National importance to those inter
ested in Angoras. Rural North
west.
Dallas will pay a lower water
rate than any other town on the
Pacific Coast. The total cost of 40
fire hydrants will be only $50 per
month. With taxable property to
the amount of $300,000 this year,
a levy of 2 mills will pay the water
bill. The wealth of the city is
rapidly increasing, and as the sink
ing fund will soon be yielding a
neat interest, the rate of the levy
should rapidly erow smaller. If
the city had not been forced to
issue additional bonds to the
amount of $3000 in securing a
right-of-way, the levy this year
would have been only 1 3-5 mills.
The Observer desires to com
mend the city council for the business-like
manner in which it has
begun paying the city hall debt.
While not desiring to criticize the
course of any former council, it
must be admitted that such a ster
should have been taken long ago,
The city building cost only $2500,
but the debt was allowed to run
nearly 16 years before any action
was taken looking to its payment.
In that length of time, an amount
equal to or exceeding the debt it
self was paid as interest. It has
often been urged that the hall has
"paid its way" through rents re
ceived by the city, and the state
ment is doubtless true; but it is
also true that the building would
yield a revenue equally large if it
were paid for. This is the view of
the present council, nd already
$500 of the debt has been wiped out.
The council proposes to make anoth
er payment of $500 during the year
1904--and more, if the money can
be ppared from the treasury. This
action will meet the hearty ap
proval of the people. The way to
get rid of interest charges is to pay
debts, and the way to pay debts is
to pay them. Dallas needs the
hall rent for purposes more useful
than that of paying interest on
bonds.

Tie Price of Pleasure.
It is hard for a lovely woman to forego
the pleasures of the life which she was
created to enjoy and adorn. She may
have to be busy all day in office or in
store, yet she cannot deny herself the
social pleasures which are offered her.
jiiu xue laugue is
often too great for
her, and she suf
fers from headache
and backache as a
consequence of
over-exertion.
Women who are
tired and worn out
will find a perfect
tonic and nervine
in Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Paiscription.
It cures headache,
backache and the
other aches and
pains to which
women are subject.
It establishes regu
larity, dries weak
ening drains, heals
inflammation and
ulceration, and
cures female weak
ness. It makes weak
women strong and
sick women well.
"I am so pleased
with vonr instructions,
I hardly know what
thanks to give yon for
your kind favors,'
writes Mrs Milo Bry
ant, of Lola, Thomas
Co., Ga. "I suffered
so much with Kreat
pains in my back and the lower part of ray
stomach and palpitation of the heart, that at
times I could hardly lie down. Could hardly
cet up in the moriiin?, but after using three
bottles of ' Favorite Prescription ' and two vials
of Or. I'ierce'c Pleasant Pellets, I am like a new
woman."
Sick women, especially those suffering
from diseases of long standing, are in
vited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter,??.

Dr. Mouse Will Deliver Address at
College Chapel Monday Night.
Tho first lecture of the Lady Pro
fessorship will be delivered by E. L.
House in the College chapel next Mon
day evening. His subject will be
"The Outlook for the Twentieth
Century."
The Oregonian says: "Dr. House,
throughout his address, was brilliant
in thought and pleasant in delivery.
He whs listened to with deep atten
tion and occasional outbursts of ap
plause." The Greenville, South Carolina,
News says : "Dr. House is inimitable
in description, full of wit and elo
quence, l no verdict or an wno nearu
his lecture is that it was the most
interesting and valuable ever deliver
ed anywhere, by anybody."
A social dance will be given, at the
City Hall tomorrow night. All are

Mrs. J. P. Starr is seriously ill in
Cottage Grove, where she has been
visiting friends.
An effort is being made by people
living along tho line of the Yamhill
division to have the Dallas-Portland
passenger train put back on its old
schedule. It is altogether probable
that the change will bo made.

Weak
Hearts
Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine of everf
one hundred people who have heart troubli
can remember when lt was simple indiges
tion. It Is a scientific fact that all cases ol
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but re the direct result of indi
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which falls of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, pulling lt up against the
heart. This interferes with the action oi
the heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
