Charles A. Craft, representing the
.board of Fire Underwriters of the
Pacific, came to Dallas, Tuesday, and
made a thorough inspection of the
new system of gravity' water-works,
the object of his visit being to obtain
information and data required by the
Board in establishing lower insurance
rates for the city. He expressed him
self as well pleased with. the result
of his examination, and says that the
new rates will be made as soon as his
report can be acted upon by the Board.
The report will be forwarded to the
San Francisco office at once, and, up
on its return, the revised rates will be
announced. Mr. Craft says that the
Board has been rushed with work this
summer, and for this reason has been
unable to send a surveyor to Dallas
until now. He had intended to in
spect the Dallas water plant several
weeks ago, but was delayed by work
in Idaho.
Mr. Craft made a thorough ex
amination of the reservoir and the
circulating system inside the city
limits. He obtained a map showing
the route and sizes of mains, location
of hydrants, etc., and also inspected
the hose carts, hook and ladder truck,
and other fire apparatus. He finds
the apparatus kept in first-class shape,
and says the hose in use here is equal
to the very best made. Mr. Craft did
not require a working test of the
system, as the test made by tho city
council before accepting the plant
from Mr. Gates .was satisfactory to the
Board. In addition to the result of
this test, the Board has all the figures
necessary to enable them to determine
for themselves the capacity of the
plant, pressure, and other details of
importance.
Mr. Craft did not give out any in
formation as to the extent of the re
duction that will be made in insurance
rates, but assured the city officers that
Dallas will be given full credit for
every point to which it is entitled by
the installation of the new water
system.

Historical Landmark.
One of the historical landmarks of
Yamhill and Polk counties is the old
brick house built in 1847 by George
Gay. The house was built on the
county line of Yamhill and Polk
counties and is about two miles from
Wheatland. Mr. Gay came to Oregon
in 1835, and later deciding that he
wanted a brick house, he set about to
make his own brick and built his
house which he completed in 1840.
This week two bricks from the old
house were sent to the Oregon Histor
ical Society by Miss Ella Hendricks,
who now owns the old Gay place.

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
Scott's Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids ' and jjor all whose
blood is thin aad 'pale, Scott's
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

From Conductor Joseph Crocker, of
the Dallas-Portland passenger train,
we learn that W. H. McEldowney has
again been placed in charge of the
Broadmead farm at Sheridan Junc
tion. Mr. McEldowney successfully
managed this big farm for many
years, but recently has been engaged
in merchandising at Amity.
The Broadmead farm, consisting of
several hundred acres of rich bottom
land along the Yamhill river, has not
been producing a satisfactory yield of
grain in recent years, and Mr. McEl
downey will endeavor to restore the
entire tract to its former condition of
fertility. He now has two subsoiiers
in operation, and will continue their
use until every foot of the ground has
been gone over.
The first of these machines has
blades 20 inches long, set 22 inches
apart and in such a manner as to
thoroughly break up the hardpan.
This machine is drawn by a traction
engine. In another field, a large
gang plow drawn by horses is loosen
ing the soil to a depth of 16 inches.
The farm will be seeded this Fall, and
the grain will be harrowed in with a
disc harrow.
Mr. McEldowney Is not much of a
believer in summer-fallowing, but
prefers to cultivate the stubble ground
thoroughly each year and then sow
the grain. He advocates tho theory
that ground plowed deep in the Fall
will loosen and mellow during thei
Winter months, while ground plowed 1
in the wet season will run together
and bake when the warm weather be
gins. The outcome of his work on the
Broadmead farm this Fall will be
awaited with interest
Oregon State Fair.
Tho Oregon Stato Fair will be held
at Fair Grounds, near Snlcni, Sep
tember 12th to 17th inclusive. The
Southern Pacific Company will sell
tickets from all points on Oregon

occasion. The committee in charge
have made strenuous efforts to pro
vide special attractions, and it is ex
pected that this will be the greatest
Fair ever held in Oregon.
