Newspaper Page TextPels County Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER. Published Weekly at 11.50 per Yeai. Strictly in Advance. DALLAS, OREGON, MaRC.1 25, 1904 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. The Observkr finds no reason to change its prediction concerning the choice of the Republicans of Polk county for State Senator at their convention on April 9. Mr. Kirkpatrick is steadily gaining strength, and his campaign is be ing conducted in a careful, con scientious and gentlemanly man ner. Polk county has for many years been ably represented in the state senate, and the election of Mr. Kirkpatrick will give evidence of its ability and spirit of progress. Interest in state and county politics should not bo permitted to completely overshadow city affairs, as it is important that good sub stantial men should be chosen for councilmon to be voted for at the annual city election on April 4 The present board has been enter prising and progressive in its ad ministration of city affairs, and men should be elected who will work to carry out the important public improvements now under way. The retiring members of tin board are Charles F. Belt, W. II. Boals and C E. Shaw. We are not informed as to whether any of these men will consent to accept the nomination for a second term The councilmon receive no com pensation for their services and there is much work connected with the office, and fur this reason it would be hardly fair to ins st up on these men giving the city more of their time; but all have been faithful in the dischirgn of their duty and no mistake would be jnade in re-electing all three them, if their consent to accept tin nomination can be gained A sewerage system lor Lwnas i ? ii i now seems assured. The city council is holding two or threi meetings each week to discuss the manner of making the improve ment, and Mr. II. V. Gates and Auditor Stouffer aro busy at work upon plans and estimates. No attempt to sewer the entire city will be made at this time, as the amount of money involved in an improvement of such magnitude would be greater than the prople could afford to pay. I'he plans under consideration contemplato a system for the business portion of the city and two residence streets only. It is the intention of the council to extend the system to the residence district as rapidly us a majority of the property-owners interested shall make their wishes known. Under the present plan of assessing the cost, no issue of bonds will be necessary, and no property will bo taxed except that which is directly benefited by the sewers. The council is using every endeavor to make the assessment of cost just and equitable, and it is believed that when this plan is announced, it will meet with general approval. Work on the system will probably begin early next month. Try Obseuveb legal blanks. March, Jipril, May There is a best time for doinj everything- tlmt is, a time when a thing eau be done to the best ad vantage, most easily and most ef fectively. Now is the best time for pmifyiiitf your blood. Why? Jiecause your system is now trying to purify it you know this by tho fimples and other eruptions that ave come on your face and body.

Mkjs. S. H. Nul. JlcCrays. la. Hood' Sarsaparilla promises to cure and keeps the promise. The news that Charles H. Mark ham is to be promoted to the position of general manager of the Southern Pacific railway system, with headquarters in San Francisco, is received with rejoicing by the people of Western Oregon. The broad minded and liberal policy pursued by Mr. Markham when he had charge of the freight and passenger department in this state won for him the respect and friend ship of the people, and worked wonders in developing the resources of the country traversed by the company's lines of road. Merchants and shippers believe that as soon as Mr. Markham takes charge of the Pacific Coast lines he will make a satisfactory adjustment of freight rates and provide sufficient rolling stock to handle the rapidly increas ing business in Western Oregon. The commercial clubs of Salem and Independence are agitating the building of an electric motor line between the two towns, and com mittees from each organization are now working on the project. The Observer believes that such an enterprise would pay handsome re turns on the money invested and be a valuable factor in helping to build up both towns. The time is not far distant when the entire Willamette Valley will be covered with a network of railroads and trolley lines. Sheriff Ford says he has not had time to foot the books to tell positively the amount of 1903 tax collected to March 15, but believes it to be about two-thirds of the entire roll. No trouble is ex perienced in collecting taxes under the Oregon tax Ihw, and it will probably be a long time before any member of the Legislature will have the temerity to suggest ny cha nires in the present system. Tl.e people are content to let well enough alone. The Marion county Republican convention will be held Thursday, March 21. The precinct primary elections will take place on Mon day March 28. The Republicans of our neighbor cotintv are organiz ing clubs in nearly every precinct, and are preparing to make an aggressive campaign. Ball at Independence. Lovers of the rnnzy waltz and (Jfiddy two-step are noxiously looking for ward to April 1 the dnte of the lte bekah's ball at the Auditorium in Independence. The members of Clover Leaf locl; will spare no pains to make this dance the social success of the year. Excellent inusie will be furnished, and the special features are expected to surprise those who attend. Every person is requested to bring a shoe-string at least 2 feet 3 inches long. .Admission, 75 cent9; spectators, 25 cents. Caught in the Snow. A dispatch to tbe Telegram from Independence says Andrew Hannum and Elmer Burrows, of Luckiamute, had a narrow escape from freezing to death in the mountains one night last week. They had started hunting in the Bald Mountain country, and had with them their lunch, Intending to return homo the same evening, but went farther than they had intended and followed a deer trail until they became lost in tho deep snow. Night came on, but they managed to koep a brush lire burning until they broke tho knife they wero using, and then it was with difficulty they kept from freezing to death. Tho next day they made a Are in a hollow log and re mained there nearly 24 hours without food. Tho next morning the sky had cloaredand the half starved hunters wore able to find their way out of the mountains. Neither of them is anxious to again undergo the terrible exper ience.

There is one chief cause for this wifely failure and that is, the failure of the womanly health. When there is irregu larity or an unhealthy drain, inflamma tion, ulceration or female weakness, tile general health is soon impaired. v FOR WOMEN WHO CANNOT BE CURED. Proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully war ranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Pro lapsus, or Falling of Womb, which they cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure. "A little over a year apo I wrote to you for advice," snvs .Mrs. ICIizahctii J, Fisher, of Diana, W. Va. " S'nu advised me to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and ' Oolden Medical Dis covery,' which I did, and with the most happy result'.

Mr. Syron was born iu Ohio in 1823, emigrated to Iowa in 1840, where he was married to Eliza beth E. Metzger, in 1848. In 1852 they crossed the plains with ox teams, and during the six months' journey experi enced their share of the trials and adventures of an overland trip in those days. Upon their arrival in Oregon they had a capital of 25 cents, one ox and the usual "prairie schoon er" outfit. They took up a claim in Polk county, where they lived about twenty years. Following this period they lived a short time in California and three years in Benton county. They moved to Whitman county in 1877, where they took up a homestead, on which they have lived ever since. Mr. Syron freighted from Portland up the Willamette Valley when Fortland was a town of about 600 inhabitants. Deceased is survived by a wife, three sons and one daughter. Ho was a brother of Daniel Syron, of this city. New Rural Mail Route.

Man ford Sears, of Dallas, a man well acquainted with the mountains and game of all kinds, in an inter view with reference to the elk of the Coast Range, takes exception to the Grants Pass jorrespoudence of March 15, in whic'yafter telling of a band of thirty elk, lie following language is used, "This, is probably the only herd of elk of anj consequence in Oiegon." M r. Scars says : "The correspondent is very much mistaken, for I have seen on several occasions out West of Dallas and in theSiletz basin, many bands of elk, that are in flourishing condition, having seen on one occa sion ten or twelve head of fine calves in one herd." Mr. Sears says that the only law necessary to make elk plentiful is a law prohibiting the sale of the flesh, hides and teeth. With a law like this, in a very short time elk will be as plentiful as before the advent of the "skinners." ciiffe Shoes Th Rad- Frederick Levin CUSTOM SHOEHAKER All Kinds of Leather and Rubber Goods repaired sub stantially and at reasonable rates.

Grant, Agent, Dallas, Oregon Weak Hearts Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart troubli can remember when it 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, puffing It up against the heart. This interferes with the action ol the heart, and in the course of time thai delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. D.
