DALLAS, OREGON, APRIL 1, 1904,
The way to build up Dallas is to pat

There has been a lot of noise and
talk both of which are cheap but
when the votes are counted next
Thursday afternoon it will be found
that E. C. Kirkpatrick has a good,
substantial majority in every pre
cinct in Dallas. The boasts of his
opponents fall Hat when one
observes the frantic efforts they are
making to get votes for their Bide
The people of Dallas will never
turn down as loyal a friend as
E. C. Kirkpatrick, a man who has
worked for every public improve
ment, and whose purse is always
open when money for securing
important industries is needed, and
who, by the way, never fails or
refuses to pay his subscription after
these industries are established.
Mr. Kirkpatrick has always been
true to his home town, and his
friends are going to join in nomi
nating him for fetate senator be
cause they know he will he just as
loyal to all of folk county, and
because he is capable of filling the
office to which he aspires.
A vote for E. C. Kirkpatrick is a
vote for a man who will work to
build up every institution in Polk
county and tear down none. It is
a vote for a man who is broad
minded enough to rise above all
factions and personal ends and
labor earnestly tor the best interests
. of Polk county and tho State of
Oregon. It is a vote for a man who
is not pledged to any man or set of
men and who would go to the
Legislature free to vote and act as
his best judgment and the needs of
the people would dictate. It is a
vote for a man who is not seeking
the high oflice of State Senator
merely to tecure some Federal ap
pointment or other employment
after his term in the Legislature
expires. It is a vote for a man who
would be able to stand on the floor
of the Senate and champion the
cause of the people when measures
" affecting their interests were being
considered by that august body. It
is a vote ior a man wno desires an
election solely for the good that he
might be able to do in promoting
the welfare and prosperity of the
people of Oregon. These are the
points worthy of the serious con
sideration of every Republican
when casting his ballot in the pri
maries next Thursday.
Voters, remember that the

I Rot six bottles and took fiveln succession then
thought I would wait for a time and take the
one left. Soon found I had symptoms of the
trouble coming back, so took the sixth ij jtlle

health this summer, and the credit all hi-loni;

HAVE DONE GOOD WORK
Citizen Gives Reasons Why Dallas
Councilmefi Should Be Elected.
While the opponents of E. C.
Kirkpatrick have worked strenuous
ly to defeat him for the oflice to
which he aspires, not one of them
has questioned his ability or in
tegrity. His business career has
been honoraLle, and the success he
has achieved in his private affairs
leads the voters to believe that he
be woulda useful man in guarding
the best interests of the people of
Polk county, if elected to a seat in
the State Senate. Polk county hns
for many years enjoyed the dis
tinction of being ably represented
in the Oregon Senate, and her
citizens will make no mistake when
they nominate and elect Mr. Kirk
patrick to this important position.
REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES
Thursday, April 7,
at 2 o'clock P. M.
Men who seek ollico merelv to
advance their own personal ends or
those of some certain faction are
unworthy of consideration at the
hands of the voters. A public oflice
is too often regarded its a private
snap, and tho people have to pay
the hills and get nothing in return.
Merit alone should count in the
choice of candidates. Voters should
consider well this fact when casting
their ballots in the Republican
primaries next Thursday afternoon.
DALLAS, Or., March 31 (To the
Editor.) As a citizen and taxpayer of
Dallas, I desire to express my appre
ciation of the effective work that has
been done by the city council during
tho past two years in helping to make
Dallas a live and progressive town.
More substantial and needed improve
ments have been made by the present
council than by any set of men that
ever held tho office before. These men
have proved that they had tho right
kind of qualities in them by the firm
manner in which they refused to
allow themselves to be bluffed or in
fluenced by the enemies of the water
works improvement, and now, that the
city has a splendid water supply un
equalled elsewhere in the Willamette
Valley, the people are all rejoicing
that the city officers fought their way
through to success in the face of every
discouragement that could be offered.
No sooner were the water-works com
pleted than the council turned their
attention to another matter of vital
importance to the health and cleanli
ness of the city that of a sewerage
system. There is no doubt that they
will carry forward this improvement
in a manner as prompt and satis
factory to the people as they did in
the construction of water-works. Their
plan to assess none but the property
directly benefited by the sowers will
meet the hearty approval of the tax
payers and is a plan that is fair and
equitable to all. The councilmen
seem to be workiDg together
harmoniously, and, as they are more
familiar with the work they have in
hand than any new men could hope
to be for a long time, it would seem
unwise to make any change in the
board at this particular time. Tho
councilmen give tho city much of their
valuable time and make uocliargo for
their work, and it would seem only a
just and gracious recognition of the
good work they have already done to
reward them with another term of
office. All the candidates on the peti
tions are good men, but it seems to be a
general opinion that a mistake would
be made in not re-electing the old
councilmen to finish tho good work
they have begun. Will you please
give this communication a space in
your valuable paper, and obligo

The Democrats have as usual set
their convention one week later
than the Republican convention
hoping thereby to profit by any
mistake that their opponents may
happen to make. This policy of
tho minority party sometimes gives
them a chance to slip in a few
omcers here and there in fact, it
is about the only chance they have
and, therelore, it is not bad politics
I here is only one way for the Re
publicans to beat the came, and
that is, not to make any mistakes
this year.
It is to be earnestly hoped that
there will be a largo attendance o:
votci-9 at the Republican primaries
to be held in all the precincts of
Polk county next Thursday after
noon. I he good of tho countv de
mands that representative men be
chosen as delegates to the county
convention, and it is the plain
duty of every Republican to attend
the primaries and vote for men
who will exercise wisdom and dis
cretion in making up the countv
ticket.

FIRST STEP TAKEN
Council Decides to Lay Sewers
Mill and Court Streets.
on
Tho city council has decided to bo
gin work on tho sewerago system as
soon ns tho property-owners iu interest
can bo notified and the contract let.
This decision was reached at a special
meeting held on Wednesday evening
of this week, aud the motion to begin
i . ...
me improvement, was carried by a
unauunous vote. While plans aud
estimates for every street in tho city
have been prepared, no attempt will
be made to sewer auy but the busiuoss
district and two residence streets this
year.
Tho Court Street sewer will extend
from Hayter street to the outlet on the
county road near Abel Uglow's dwell
ing house, and will reach till property
as far south . as the postoffice
on JUain streot. Tho Mill street
sewer will be built from Hayter
street to Lyle street, (the old Way mire
corner),and south on Lyle street to the
sewer on Court street. E. C. Kirkpat
rick will graut the city a free right-of-
way across his property for tho outlet,
which will bo about 5u0 feet iu length.
The only practical outlet that can be
had is at the foot of Court street, and
all tho pipe that is laid now or in the
future will have to empty iuto this
main. Having secured the right-of-way
rrom Mr. Kirkpatrick, tho city
will never bo handicapped in extend
ing the system to all parts of town as
rapidly as the people desire.
The council will meet on Monday,
April 18, at 7 :30 o'clock p. in., to hear
uy and all objections that may be
made to the proposed improvement bv
the owners of the property proposed to
