A few of the Itrpnlilii.au leaders in I he present campaign ate turning out that they did a very poor day's work when they turned down influential workers in every pre cinct in Polk county. The average voter does not care to follow the leadership of a few gtlf-eone titut d bosses who have tricked and traded the Republican ticket for years, and who are ready at this minute to trade off sonic of the best men on the' Republican ticket in order lo carry out their Bullish ends. The pleading and begging of men who knifed the head of the ticket two years ago and Who care absolutely nothing for the pr nciples of the Republican parly will not accom plish much this year. The voters will no longer support a man who is willing to trade every other man on the ticket to save his own bide. When a few of these mugwumps are buried too deep for resurrection, we will have some straight Re publicanism in Polk county again. If the Portland Journal could hear the sentiment of the people of Polk county concerning that paper's bitter and unreasonable attacks upon Hon. Ringer Hermann, its publishers would be forced to con clude that there is at least one county in the First District where such campaign methods are not indorsed. It is altogether probable that the existing feeling here ex lends to every county in the district. It is a noticeable fact that the wail of the Journal finds no echo except in the columns of one or two rabidly partisan newspapers in Western Oregon. .Neither Re publicans nor Democrats in the First District believe the slanderous tales that are being circulated against Mr. Hermann, and the people will show their disapproval of the Portland paper's mud-clinging and abuse by re-electing their present Congressman by a majority of 10,000 votes. C. D. SIMPSON IS DEAD VEATCH THE KICKER. Bob Veatch, who is running (or rather walking, as they say in Ger many, or standing, as they say in England) for Congress on the Dem ocratic ticket, is a good man in his way and an accommodating neigh- .Jiiio I9 home town. But if the moon should turn to green cheese and he should be elected to Con gress from the First district, he would be a nuisance there. He would be a detriment to the people ho represented, or misrepresented, lie would do very much more harm than good. Bob Veatch was bom in the wrong time of the moon. He is a natural kicker. If Mr. Veatch should be elected to Congress, it would pay the people of this district, and pay them big, to make up the money and give him twice the salary he would re ceive from the government, to stay at home, or to go off some where and hide himself. Ve want things from Congress. ' We need a great many things. And we cannot afford to send a man back there to simply find fault and paint the dark side and exhibit a chronic case of the dyspepsia. Congress has troubles enough already, with out borrowing any from the Firtt Oregon district. Salem Statesman. The promoteis of the Dallas Salem railroad ask a bonus of $15,000 from the business men of Salem. They will he lucky if they get 15 cents unless the citizens o the Capital City show more enter prise than they have shown in the past. The Ohskkvkh is of the opinion that the road will never be built, if Salem is to be depended j upon lo furnish any considerable I amount of money to help build it. Most of the big undertakings over in that town start with talk and end in talk. Have you noticed how growi ng? Dallas is Shipment of Rainbow Trout. County Commissioner John Teal received word from Washington, D. C, this week that a shipment of 31)00 rainbow trout will he forwarded to him ut once to stock his new pond at his mountain home oltove Falls City. Mr. Ten I says the Eastern brook trout sent him last. August are thriv ing finely and making rapid growth. Eight thousand of these trout were sent out from the Government hatch ery, and were placed in a pond pre pared for them on Mr. Teal's ranch. The lish averaged one inch in length when sent out from the hatchery, and were shipped in large cans. Mr. Teal says that most of these trout are now fully six inches long ami growing rapidly. Dallas is enjoying an era of prosperity and substantial growth unprecedented in her history. New buildings are going up all over town, property owners are im proving and beautifying their premises, and more important public improvements are under way than ever before. The hotels are crowded with guests, and new people are arriving eveiy day to make their homes lure. Merchants, without a single exception, report trade lively and growing better all the time. The spirit of progress is in the air, and the year 11)0-1 promises to be a record breaker in the number of buildings erected and the consequent increase in population. Dallas has put nside her village ways ami is rapidly taking on a city appearance. Spring Medicine There is no other season when pood Diedicino is so much needed as iu tho Spring.

Claud" I). Simpson died of typhoid fever at bis home in Monmouth, Satur day night. Ho had been in failing health ever since suffering an attack of the same disease several weeks ago, and while it was known that his con dition was serious, tho news of his death came as a shock and surprise to his friends and relatives. After par tially recovering from the first attack of fever, he resigned his position as teacher in the Independence public schools and went out to tho logging camp of his relatives on the head wa ers of Pedne creek, hoping that the mountain air would restore him to health and strength. The change of climate did not have the desired effect, aud he returned to Monmouth about ten days ago aud placed himself un der the care of a physician. He con tinued to sink rapidly, and death end ed his suffering on Saturday night. Dee Simpson was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Simpson, well known pioneers of the Luckiamute country, and was one of the most popular young men in Polk county. He was atnoiti ous to make himself a userui man, and no work was too hard for him to undertake where the object meant advancement. While teaching, in tho Independence school, he carried on his studies in the Normal School at Monmouth, and was graduated from the latter institution with high honors. It is believed by many of his friends that the breakingof his health was caused by long hours of study and overwork. He took an active interest in lodge work, and was a member of the Odd Fellows and Woodmen of the World. He was Noble Grand of Valley Lodge, No. 42, I. O. O. F.,of Independence, ut the time of his death. He was a Dem ocrat in polities, and was often honor ed by his party by being sent as a del egate to tho county convention. Two years ago he was nominated for County Clerk and made a cleau and honorable campaign for that office. He was defeated in the election by his Republican opponent, but came out of the contest with clean hands and with the respect of all citzens. As a school teacher he enjoyed the couildeuce of the parents, and was loved by the children. The pupils of his room iu tho Independence school attended his funeral in a body, and their grief at the loss of their teacher and friend was a scene never to be forgotten. As the little people marched by the casket, crying as if their hearts would break, strong men turned away to hide the tears that could not be re strained. The lloral offerings of the Normal School faculty, students and friends were numerous and beautiful beyond description, ami banked about and upon the casket almost covered it from view. The burial rites were witnessed by a large concourse of friends. In the death of Dee Simpson, Polk county loses one of her best young men one who would have written his name high as a useful and honorable citizen had he lived. Cut down in tho beginning of a bright and promising career, his early demise til ings forcibly to all minds tho truth of the saying that "Death loves a shining mark." His life was a lite example of nil that is best in young American manhood. Woodmen Elect Officers. Dallas Camp, No. 209, W. O.
