The officers of the Polk County Salt, Gas mid Oil Company held a meeting in the parlors of the Independence National Bank last Saturday and de cided to bore a new well on the Een Whiteaker farm between Dallas and Monmouth, near the well that was sunk by II. Ilirschberg a few months ugo. a sianuarci anil will be pur chased, and work will commence as soon as tho new machinery arrives. The company will begin the manu facture of salt at once. The Ilirsch berg well flows strong salt vvutor that has been analyzed and found to be of extra quality. After careful investi gation, it is believed that the salt business will pay handsomely, whether oil is found or not. The new company, however, is sanguine of success in striking oil in paying quantities, as two or three strong veins were opened by the Ilirschberg well and there is every indication of 1 jo existence of oil in paying quantitlea.ot It was decided'1'10 mating last .Saturday to put u sViil amount of stock on the market, as m$E people have expressed a wish to acqtn'i an interest in the company. Fully paid, non-assessable stock will be sold at 50 cents per share. The enterprise under way has for its object the development of Polk county, and its success would mean much for the future prosperity of this com munity. People who have never ex perienced an oil boom cannot appre ciate the commercial importance of a big oil strike iu Polk county. In some of the older states where oil has been found, cities have sprung up like magic, and uninhabited wastes one dayare populous communities the next. Oil has been found in large quan tities in California and in Alaska, and experts who havo been over the ground say that the formation in Polk county where the Salt, Gas and Oil Company has its leases is certainly oil territory. It would seem worth the while of the capitalists and business men of Polk county to do all in their power to help the movement along and iiud out what the resources of the county really are. The surface of the ground has hardly been scratched as yet, and the Oisseuvku believes that the next few years will reveal hidden riches in Oregon heretofore un dreamed of. If the Fourth of July celebration in Dallas fhis year does not prove to be the biggest affair of the kind ever held in Polk county, it will be no fault of the business men of the city who have already subscribed over $500 to the celebration fund. Dallas never does things by halves, and as the money was raised in less than one day, the people need nave no rear that the celebration committee will not do its part, and the result will be the grandest and best three days' entertainment iu Western Oregon this year. The sub-committees are all actively at work, and, with the plenti ful supply of money on hand, no difficulty is experienced iu securing good attractions. The plan of the ! committee is to give a three days' pro gram the pioneer reunion on Satur day, cumpinceting on Sunday, and the celebration on Monday. The annual reunion of the Polk i County Pioneer lleunion will be held on Saturday in the City Park. Hon. William Galloway, of Yamhill county, will deliver the annual address, and J. C. Hayter, of Dallas, theoccasional address. Prizes will be given to the earliest, pioneer and oldest married couple present, oldest pioneer niau or woman, and oldest native son. The G. A. 11. and Indian War Veterans will hold their reuniou and eauiplire at night. Sunday, July n, will be devoted to patriotic Union Services, to be held iu the (Jity Park. The music will be a special feature of the occasion, and the choir will be made up of singers from all the churches in Dallas. Some prominent Portland minister will deliver the sermon. Ample seat ing capacity will be provided for all who attend these service. Tn the afternoon the Mortnal Cadet Hand, under the direction of Prof. Frank Lucas, will give an open-air sacred concert. The program will consist of sacred music and patriotic selections. The Normal buna is among the be.-t iu the state, and this concert alone will be well worth coining to hear. The celebration on Monday will be ushered iu bv a salute at sunrise. and from that time until the last sky rocket lizzies out at night, there will be fun for everybody. The complete program of amusements will be printed next week. The committee on general arrange ments announce the appointment of sub-coniuj jttees as follows: Printing V. J. Fiske, J. C. Havter.

Robert Gaynor was given sole management of the booth and stand ! disabuse the minds of the member!' of the club of the impression that he was only to put $iiO,li(K) into the road. He asked the club to get down to business, and if his proposition was accepted, to get a committee to work soliciting the loan and securing the right of way. On motion of Tilmon Ford, the proposition made by Mr. Coovert was accepted, and a committee of three was appointed to procure the terminal grounds and the right of way to the outskirts of West Salem, anu a com mittee of live to secure a bond sub scription of $72,000 to be secured by a lirst mortgage on the road. On the former committee the president named George U. Johnson, Webster Holmes and F. W. Waters, and they were in structed to begin work immediately. The appointment of the committee to solicit the loan of $72,000 was post poned that the president might have time to confer with the members and make his appointments judiciously.

C, Poling and Family Go Pennsylvania for an Extended May. to Dr. C. C. Foling and family leave to morrow for their new home in Pennsyl vania. They will spend the Summer vacation at the home of his parents iu that state, and will probably take up their residence in Johnstown about October 1. Their object in leaving Dallas at this time is to give their sou Daniel an opportunity to take a post graduate course in the history of phi losophy and literature iu one of the large universities of the East either Johns Hopkins or Andover. Their departure is trreatly regretted through out the Oregon conference of the Unit ed Evangelical Church, and especially by the students and fr iends of Dallas College, and the hope is gen erally expressed that they will not long remain away from Oregon. I Dr. Poling came to Oregon in 1880, beingsent from his pastorate in Johns town, Pennsylvania, by the Board of J Missions of the United Evangelical j Uiiurch. lie was the hrst English missionary of the church in Portland, and built the first English church for his denomination iu that city.

NOW UP TO SALEM J. W. Coovert Submits Proposition to Build and Operate Railroad f rom Dallas. At a meeting of the Cheater Salem Commercial Club, held in tho Cupital City, Tuesday night, the following proposition to build and operate a standard-gauge railroad was sub mitted by J. W. Coovert: 1 will build the railroad from Asanas to west balem, and equip it according to the specifications here in contained, provided the business men and capitalists will procure for me tho terminal grounds iu West Salem, and the right of way from said terminal grounds to the D. J. Holmes place, and iloat bonds to the amount of seventy-two thousand dollars.or live thousand, one hundred and forty iii'iiais (it-i mne, one in three years from date thereof, with the privilege! of paying same at any time alter one j year, bearing interest at the rate of live per cent annum, these hon.lsto im or imi ayette bennnary. this lnsti tutiou of learning had been estab lished at a meeting of representatives of the church called by Dr. Poling in 1888, at which time he was elected president of the Executive Committee and Board of Trustees. He whs offered the Presidency of the school at this meeting, but declined the office, and Dr. V. C. Ivantuer was elected. After the resignation of President Bowman, iu 1805, Dr. Poling was again asked to take charge of the j .sehool, and this time he accepted the I :;!on tendered him. Tn i8:m. he I was re-Vie'ted Presiding Elder' of the ! ft church, antf'stritO, tliut time he has j borne, the double rafWAU'iurcu and school work. When- Ln FKilli Seminary and the LaCreole Academy were consolidated under the name of Dallas College four years ago, he moved his family to this city. Dr. Poling is prominent among the leading men of his church and has attended four sessions of the General Conference iu Pennsylvania. At the last Conference he served as one of tho four English secretaries. Since moving to Dallas, he has been re peatedly asked to accept pastorates iu some or me large Eastern cities, at a large salary, but has steadfastly re fused to leave his school work here. Xow, that Dallas College is no longer an experiment, but is firmly estab lished among tho prosperous uistitu tions of learning in Oregon, he has found his consent to take a brief respite from his labors of the last fourteen years. He will have the iutere-t of the school constantly in mind during his stay in the East, and will visit all the Summer conferences anu campmeetings and use his in fluence iu obtaining financial aid to help carry on the work so well begun in the last four years. This influence i will doubtless bo felt for the great! good of Dallas College. The many friends of Dr. Polinor and his estimable family will wish! them a pleasant stay in their old i Pennsylvania home, and a safe re-1 turn to Oregon at no distant day. j W. C. T. U. Elects Officers. The W. C. T. U. held a business and social meeting at the home of Mrs U. I. Reynolds, Friday. Several' invited guests were present, and one new name was added to the i..,,,r.t.,.
