Senator Charles W. Fulton and

duced Mr. Hermann in a neat speech,
amid the most enthusiastic applause.
Mr. Hermann held the attention of the

effective answer to the slanderous at
tacks that have been made upon him
by his political enemies. Mr.Hermann
is popular in Polk County and it is
confidently predicted that his major
ity in the coming election will be
larger than ever before.
Senator Fulton was introduced at
the close of Mr.Hcrmann's speech,and,
despite the lateness of the hour, held
the interest of the audience for thirty
minutes while he spoke on important
National issues. Both speakers were
accorded an enthusiastic reception at
the close of the meeting.
Congressman Hermann, in company
with his old-time friend, Hon. George
L. Hawkins, drove to Salem Sunday
morning and took the 11 o'clock traiu
for Roseburg. Senator Fulton re
mained in Dallas until noon, greet
ing acquaintances and friends, and

Survey Logging Road.
A party of civil encineers. with u
completo surveying outfit and a crew
of ten men, arrived in Dallas, Sunday,
and loft on Monday for the Bancroft
ranch in the Siletz Basin. Those sur
veyors are in the employ of the Mc-
Lluro timber company, but were very
reticent as to the object of their visit
to the great timber belt of the Siletz at
this time. It is believed in Dallas that
they huvo been sent out to survey a
line for a railroad from tho Siletz to'
the Willamette Valley, either by the
Big Luckiamute route or across the
summit to connect with the Dallas
and Falls City railroad. Others pre
dict that thoy will strike the headwaters
of tho LaCreolo and go out by tho
x amnill route. Whatever their plans
may be, there is every indication of
of lively doings in the timber business
in esteru Polk county in tho near
future.
