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.

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.

PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY
Dallas Is Experiencing the Busiest
Year In All Her History.
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

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.

BRIGHT'S DISEASE.
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

can remember when It was simple Indige

heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but re the direct result of Indi
gestion. All food taken Into the stomach
which fails 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
