Judge Boise is a crafty old poli tician. Willrin the writer'B memory, ho has heen identified with no lees than three different political parties, and history has it that ho changed a time or two in his younger days. He has held oflice almost con tinuously for forty years, and shows no disposition to let go. When one political party drops him, he immediately joins another and keeps on running for oflice. Six years ago he identified himself with the Populist element and slid into oflice on the Fusion ticket. This year, his friends forced the Demo crats to indorse him in their state convention hy filing a petition for his nomination prior to the date of the convention. Many Democrats openly expressed their opposition to his candidacy, but the parly did not dare to nominate a full judicial ticket with Boise running as an independent candidate. It now remains to be seen how many of the Democrats will swallow the doso prepared for them by this perpetual oflicc-seeker and his friends. There is no Republican opposi tion to Mr. Hermann in hi- dis trict. He will be elected by .(HJUO or more. He is an efficient Repre sentative. He is doing excellent work for the people of his district, and they recognize it. lie did ex cellent work for the Lewis and Clark appropriation, and all Oregon should recognize that. The ex perience of a man like Hermann is worth something in Congress, and the people of his district will morn than double the majority they gave him on the light vole thrown last year Oregonian. It makes the baseball cranks of Oregon feel blue when thi-y rend of the yellow playing that is being done by the Portland Browns. Register rush. now, and avoid the That Tired Feeling (s a Common Spring Trouble. It's a sign that the blood is deficient ia vitality, just as pimples and other eruptions uro signs that the blood is impure. It's a warning, too, which only the l::'7 irdous fail to heed.

A liiotonr.so in Chicago ran his car onto the approach of an open bridge but flopped it with the fender actual'; y over hanging the gu!!' below. He wouldn't want to repeat ihe experiment because the chaucrt are that he'd never again have the ci'-.ne good fortune.

CongrerB has passed every Oregon bill save two, and those two are of minor importance. Henator Mitchell says that never be'ore since he has been in Congress has the Oregon delegation so thoroughly cleared its docket of local legislation as it has in the session about to close This is the kind of news the people like to hear. Sounds like the old times when Oregon had the reputation of getting whatever it wanted. Mitchell and Hermann, and tlutt grand old statesman, Joseph N. JJolph - all were there in those days, and Ure- ijon was proud of them. Mitchell and Hermann are there again, and working as faithfully as of old. The people will keep them there as long as they desire to stay. And Senator Fulton, too. No new man has ever made a better record than that of Oregon's junior Senator during his first year in ollice. His career of usefulness is just begin ning, and no young man in either house of Congress has brighter prospects of becoming one of the prominent men of the Nation. Oregon again has a delegmion in Congress of which she may well feel proud. Notice to Voters. J. It. Shophard, of Spring Valley, will bo at West Salem to register voters on Saturday, May 7, atl o'clock p. in.

Dallas is u busy and progressive town. If anyouo doubts this state ment, a walk through the business and residence districts will convince him that it is true. New buildings are springing up on every hand; the mills are all running on full time; hundreds of laborers are at work In the hop fields and orchards adjoining the town ; every man who has any knowledge of tho use of carpenter's tools finds steady employment; pipes are being laid In every part of town to supply business houses and residences with mountain water, and plumbers are rushed with orders to supply the necessary fixtures and fittings; Con tractor IJ. V. Gates has a force of men steadily employee in the con struction of the water reservoir on the hill west of town, and many laborers are employed in laying the foundation of the Kirkpatrick build ing on Main street. Tho days of the old wooden shacks in the business district of Dallas are numbered. Last year a row of the worst fire-traps in town were torn down and hauled away when Abel Uglow and William Faull built their row of brick buildings on Mill street. This Spring the good work goes on. E. C. Kirkpatrick removed two frame buildings, one in a very dilapidated condition, to make room for a hand some brick structure, and now R. E. Williams is tearing out the old livery stable on the corner of Main and Oak streets to make room for anew frame building. F. A. Stiles is preparing to build a harness shop with a modern glass front on his present location, and I. V. Lyneh's blacksmith shop will bo replaced with a building more suitable to his needs. It Is be lieved that the time is not far distant when the Crider brothers will replace their wooden buildings on Main street with substantial brick structures. Another piece of property on which parties desiring to build a fine brick building have their eye is the corner now occupied by tho Club saloon. This is one of the sightliost corners in town, and it is believed that it will not be long until some one will offer Mrs. Smith a price that will induce her to part with it. A great change for the better has been made in the appearance of tho business blocks of Dtillas in the last three or four years, and it is apparent that tho improve ment is just getting fairly under way. In the residence portion of town, substantial improvements are noted on every hand. More dwelling houses have already been built this season than were erected during the whole of last year. Men with capital are be ginning to awaken to the fact that Dallas need3 more houses, and neat dwellings are beginning to spring up all over town. W. II. McDaniel is building two houses to rent; Dr. Mark Hayter has finished a neat cottage and has a force of carpenters employed in the construction of another, making altogether five houses that ho has for rent; C. L. Hubbard is preparing plans for two new dwell ings, Georgo Guttler will build two, and many other citizens are preparing to build during the coming Summer. It is conservatively esti mated that from 50 to GO new dwelling houses will be built in Dallas this year. Tho spirit of progress and civic pride seems to have taken a thorough hold upon tho people, and private Special at Dodson's next week only.

DALLAS, OREGON. premises all over town are being lm proved and beautified. Dallas has always been numbered among the attractive towns of Oregon, and this reputation has been gained injhe face of the greatest drawbacks and discouragements. But now, with an abundant supply of water for public and private use, the people are en couraged to go ahead and make many hitherto impossible improvements, and a marked change for the better will soon bo seen. Old, unsightly fences are being torn down, and beautiful green lawns will soon be seen in front of nearly every door. Many streets will be . graded and graveled this Summer, and new side walks, some of them constructed of cement, will be put down in the resi dence district. The greatest public improvement of all will be the system of sewerage recently voted to be put In, and for the construction of which the city council has already advertised for bids. The Oiisebver believes it is safe to say that more important improve ments will be made this year than in any like period of time in the history of the town. Have You Registered.

The largest sum ever paid for a pre scription, changed hands in San Fran cisco, August 30, 1901. The transfer in volved in coin ami stock $112,600.00 anil was paid by a party of business men for a specific for Bright's Disease and Dia betes, hitherto incurable diseases. They commenced the serious investi gation ofthe, specific Nov. 15, 1900. They interviewed scores of the cured and tried it out on its merits by putting over three dozen cases on the treatment and watching them. They also got phy sicians to name chronic, incurable cases, and administered it with the physicians for judges. Up to Aug. 25, eighty-seven per cent of the test cases were either well or progressing favorably. There being but thirteen per cent of failures, the parties were satisfied and closed the transaction. The proceedings of the investigating committee and the clinical reports of the test cases were published and will oe mailed free on ap plication. Address Jonx J.
