FOR PRESIDENT
THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
of New York.
FOB VICE-PRESIDENT
CHAS. W. FAIRBANKS
of Indiana.
For Presidential Electors :
B. Dimiok, of Olaokamas county
C. Hough, of Josephine county,
N. Hart, of Polk county.
A. Fee, of Umatilla county.
Three cheers for Polk county, and
three times three cheers for Mrs. F. A.
Wolfe, who prepares the exhibits that
make Polk county famous. Having
won everything in sight attheOregon
State Fair for two years in succession,
Mrs. Wolfe will now devote her entire
attention to the preparation of the ex
hibit for the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion, In which work she will have the
liberal aid and eucouragement of the
County Court and every enterprising
citizen of the county. This display
will reprtsont Mrs. Wolfe's crreatott
and best effort, and we can promise
our neigh bor-j down Portland way
that the Polk county exhibit at the big
1005 Fair will be one to which every
Oregonian will take pride in calling
the attention of Eastern visitors.
The Grant's Pass Obsorver is soon
tooccupy itsown building. A pleasing
indication of prosperity.
A. F. Miller is traveling over the
state collecting moss to be displayed
in the Oregon building attheSt. Louis
Exposition. This will bo good news
to the people who are paying for the
exhibit. By all means, let us have a
good showing of moss to go with tho
panther skins and "Injun" blankets
on exhibition in our log-cabin build
ing at the big Fair. No matter if the
Eastern people are delighted with, and
want to see more of, our big red apples
and luscious pears, juicy prunes and
delicious peaches, mammoth potatoes
and world-famed hops. Let Charley
Galloway cry in vain for a fresh ex
hibit of fruit and vegetables, butdon't
neglect to send on more Indian
baskets, coon skins, and good old Ore
gon moss. Never mind what our
rrrent resources are todav we want
'em to know what Oregon was like
ninety-nine years ago."
Busy duys in the Dallas sawmills,
planing mill, foundry, handle factory,
hop yards and prune orchards in
fact, those aro busy days all over Polk
county.
The suggestion of Wallace Yates in
Tuesday's Telegram that tho soldiers
In the regular army be employed in
patrolling tho forests and lighting
timber fires in thedry summer months
is not a bad ouo. Uncle Sam's soldiers
have plenty of spare time that could
be spent to a better advantage than in
idling around tho barrucks.
The Evening Telegram's Dullas
correspondent says that hop pickers
are dissatislled, and that "much com
plaint is heard owing to the short
season." If this Is true, the question
naturally arises, what are they going
to do about It? It is certainly not the
fault of tho growers that the crop wus
lighter thun usual, and it don't do
auy good to kick at Provldeuco.
Better cash your hop checks and look
Bmlling. Tho Ohsekver dooan't be
lieve there was much kicking, any
how. It is altogether probable that the
council will require all water closets
uik! stuks iu tho business district to
he connected with tho city sewers this
Fall. An ordinance providing for
this improvement is being prepared
and it is not unlikely that it will be
passed early in October. This is the
ouly proper and sanitary courso to
pursue. The Court und Mill street
sewers are completed and paid for,
and they should be put in use at once,
The expense of connecting with the
sewers will uot be great, and an ordi
nauoe requiring connections to Ik-
made with all property in the business
district will be fair and equitable, aud
will help materially in makiug Dulla
a clean, healthy town.
LET THE DEAD REST
Dr. Embree Says Populist Party
Mas Accomplished Its Work
in Oregon.
DALLAS, Or., Sept. 14-(To the
Editor.) I see by the Daily Oregonian
and from other sources that un effort
is being , made by a few of the old
guard of Populism to resurrect the
the People's Party in Oregon. In my
judgment, this is very unwise and un
called for. Several of the geutlemen
who have gone into this resurrection
business were the ring-leaders who
decoyed and betrayed the People's
Party into that great national death
trap of all progress and reform, the
Democratic party.
The greatest surprise is that Dr.
Lindsay Hill, of Albany, joins hands
with the arch-traitors who held up
and assassinated the People's Party
both in the nation and state, I deem
this course of the Doctor to be more
an error of judgment than one of
bad motive. The Doctor, with myself
and others, went with the People's
Party to its grave ; in fact, the Doctor
and I were the pall-bearers in Oregon.
He ran for Congress.aud I was a can
didate for Presidential Elector, while
McMahan, U'Ren, Will King, and
others were musteiing with the cohorts
of Bryauism.
Now, one funeral is enough for one
corpse. We have all put off our
funeral garments why dig up the
old body? The same political misfits
who now vaunt themselves to the front
will sell out again if ever given an
opportunity to do so. What Middle-or-the-Itoad
Populist could ever con
iide in such men as leaders? I am
uot iu favor of making tails for
Democratic kites. If Populists have
no other mission than to help Demo
crats of the Bryan type fight Re
publicans, they would better take
down their signs, close up shop, and
quit business.
1 see tue same old cry, "won t ruse.
Of course they won't fuse, when there
is nothing worth fusing; but let the
forces gather sufficient strength to be
come a factor in deciding elections,
and then the Democrats will annoint
these "patriotic reformers" with the
promises of a few offices and swallow
them whole.
We who believe In the reforms ad
vocated in the Omaha platform have
succeeded better in Oregon, especially
in getting the Republican party to
swallow our dose. Witness, the Initi
ative and Referendum and the Direct
Primary Law. A little Populist leaven
has leavened the whole lump, and
Populistio principles aro now lirmly
fixed in the State Constitution. We
don't need any more political parties
in uregon, now tnat trie republican
party nas taKcn tne light on our
hands and is able, with its heavy
majority, to carry our principles
through for us.
Now, understand me, I love Doctor
Hill. I know him to be a true man
one you can tie to and I have a
fellow feeling for him. But the Doctor
is getting into bad company.
T. V. B. EMBREE.
POLK WINS AGAIN
There is every reason to believe that
tho long-sought relief from burden
some iusurance rates is uear at hand
A representative of the Board of
Underwriters of the Pacific was in
town this week, and after making a
thorough examination of tho new
water-works, did not hesitate to ex
press the opinion that Dallas has a
splendid system of protection against
tire. He will submit Ills report to the
Board immediately, ami says the new
Insurance rates may be expected in
side of the next thirty days. This
will be good news to our citizens, who
fuel that afterexpending much energy
and money in providing a bountiful
supply of water for the protection of
their property against the ravages of

County Exhibit Awarded First Prize
at Oregon State Fair.
Old Polk has again won the dis
tinction of being the "Blue Ribbon
County" of Oregon. The Polk county
exhibit, prepared by Mrs. F. A.Wolfe,
of Falls City, was awarded first prem
ium in tho county exhibits at the Ore
gon State Fair, Wednesday. Linn
county camo second, with Marion,
Washington, Benton and Lane follow
ing in the order named. The awards
wore made by J. N. Grieve, of Canada.
It has been the practice in tho last
row yoars to have tho county exhibits
juugeu uy one man instead or two or
three. Last year Professor George
toote, of Corvallis, performed this
service and Polk County was then
awarded llrst place. Mr. Grieve was
chosen its indue because lie is com
petent and because. heinaaCanndinn.
he has no local prejudice in favor of
any couuty and no personal feeling

Polk county's premium is $300, and
Linn county will receive $250. Marion
gets $ 2K), Washington $150, and Ben-
ion auu iane 100 each.
Must Have License.
Deputy Fish Warden H. A. Web
ster, of Oregon City, was in
in Dallas yestetdav looking for
violators of the fish laws. Com
piaiuts nave been made from tune to
time to the Fish Vt a rden's office that
certain parties are bringing ih out
from the coast rivers and p"ddling
mem irom nouso to house in iamhill
and polk counties, without a license
from the Fish Warden to do so. He
states that he now has the names of
several parties who have been violat
ing the law in this respect, and that
unless they comply with the law bv
tkiug out a license to engage in sucn
business, he expects to cause their
arrest and prosecution. This is a
state law and tho lowest line for such
violation is $50.

rheumatism or a debili
tated condition which is
popularly described as
'feeling played

The impurities
and poisons which
corrupt the blood, clog
the liver and cloud the
skin are removed by the
use of Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discov
ery. It does more than
eliminate the poisons ; it
increases the activity
of the blood-making
glands so that there is
increased supply of
pure, body-building blood. It brightens
the eyes, cleanses the skin, and gives
new, physical energy.

"The people of Dallas may consider
themselves indeed fortunate in having
a fine mountain stream like Canyon
Creek from which to draw their water-
supply." said Prof. Albert K. Sweetser,
state biologist, who was making tests
of the purity of the city water in
Dallas on Monday and Tuesday of
this week. "While I have not com
nleted mv analysis." he continued, ":
can sav that the tests made so far are
highly satisfactory, and I believe that
the final result will show that Dallas
is entitled to rank among the first
cities of Oregon in the excellence of
the water furnished to its inhabitants,
.Prof. Sweetser has made tests of
wuter in nearly every city in Oregon
this summer, and the result of his in
vestigation will be made public iu his
forthcoming annual report, copy for
which will soon be in the hands of the
State Printer. While in Dallas, he
secured an excellent picture of the big
reservoir on the hill west or town, and
this picture, together with a detailed
description of the intake at Canyon
(jreeK, win appear in nis report.
Professor Sweetser was greatly inter
ested in the filtration method by
which water is taken from the
mountain stream, and says that the
plan is worthy of investigation by
every town having a gravity water
system.
Kicked by a Horse.
E. E. Gilliam, of the Gilliam &

Mr. Gilliam on the fleshy part of one
