The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. 4 Republican National TicKet . FOB PKESIDEXT THEODORE ROOSEVELT, of New York. FOH VICE-I'ItKNIDENT CHAS. W. FAIRBANKS of Indiana. For Presidential Electors : O. B. Dimick, of Clackamas county A. C. Hough, of Josephine county. J. N. Hart, of Polk county. J. A. Fee, of Umatilla county. DALLAS' BANNER YEAR. City water-works, sewerage, ice factory, cold storage plant, oak saw mill, hardwood handle factory, en larged sash and door factory, large additions to two hotels, enlarged electric light plant, new church build ing, brick business block, several new stores, and soventy-flve new dwelling houses this is the record of the thriv ing town of Dallas for the building season of 1901, now drawing to aclose. The record is one of which every citizen may justly feel proud. In addition to tho above improvements, there has been a general brightening up Id tho appearance of the town that calls forth words of surprise and do light from every visitor. Business houses and residences have been re paired and painted, the streets have been cleared of rubbish, now side walks have been built, and scores of old unsightly yard fences have been torn down. Sprinkled streets have put an end to tho dust nuisance in the business district and made the town cool and pleasant during the hot summer days. Modern fire apparatus of the best obtainable make has taken tho place of the antiquated fire engine so long in use. With an abundance of wator for irrigation purposes, beautiful green lawns adorn the front of many homes, and hedges andorna rnoutal shrubbery are being plantedin numerous door-yards. Civic pride is thoroughly aroused, and more im provements aloug this line will be made next year than ever before. Tho railroad to Falls City, com pleted last year, and to the construc tion of which the people of Dallas contributed so liberally, is being ballasted with gravel from one end to the other, and this improvement is giving work to a largo number of men, at good wages. The Southern Pacific Company's long bridge inside tho city limits has been rebuilt, and presents an attractive and substantial appearance. Tho W. W. Johnson Lumber Company, whoso big sawmill is Dallas' most Important iudustry, has Bpent several thousand dollars In tho Improvement of tho plant this year, and the capacity of tho mill will be increased. The public school build ing has boon provided with u modern inside water system for protection from fire, and Dallas College has fitted up a largo and well-equipped gymnasium at un expense of soveral hundred dollars. Dallas is now tho center of tho network of telephone wires in Polk county, and the towns and farm homos in every precinct are in close connection with tho couuty aout. Tho County Court has kept (aoe with tho march of progress by Improving tho courthouso grounds, and no public square in Oregou will lucent a more attractive appearance next summer than will tho beautiful lawn that surrounds Polk county's new Temple of Justice. Evidences of prosperity are to be seen on every side. Tho mills and factories are running on full time the volume of trade in till lines is heavier than ever before, and, best of all, there is steady employment for all elasses of laboring men. Any man who is idle in Dallas is idl through choice, and not because of i Jack of employment. Tho remark is often heard that the year of 1;'2 was the most prosperous year in the history or Dallas. Tlii. statement will no longer hold good The people of Dallas are right now- living in the most prosperous era that the town has ever known. Get the Most Out of Your Food You dou't and can't if your stomach id weak. A weak Moaiach does not ili 1 ' t all that is ordinal ily taken into it. U iteU tired easily, and what it fails to digest is wasted. Among the sin of a weak stomach are uneasiness alter eating, lU cl ner vous headache, and disagreeable belch ins.

The street committee of the city council is making a thorougn in spection of all the sidewalks Inside the city limits and will order all de fective walks repaired or rebuilt De fore the winter season begins. The council has been kept busy looking after water-works and sewer im provements for several months and have not had time to devote much attention to street improvements, and as a consequence, some of the side walks have become badly dilapidated. This condition of affairs will be remedied at once, and Dallas will maintain her reputation of having more miles of good sidewalk than any town of equal size in Oregon. The ,.!ti-ron- rrpnprallv are prompt to i"Lllu D respond to a request of the council for street improvements, and it seldom becomes necessary to pass an ordi nance compelling a property owner to build a sidewalk. A highly creditable publication is tho Portland Evening Telegram's Exposition number. Information respecting the resources of Oregon is presented in an attractive form, the . ni'nrwi rarl liV special leatutes ueiuy pn.-vu j men who aro peculiarly qualified to handle their respective subjects in an ntelligent and entertaining manner. The Exposition number of the Tele gram differs from ordinary advertis ing editions in that boom rnetnoas and extravagant statements are care fully avoided. The entire paper is written in a sincere and dignified style that will not fail to impress the people of the Eastern and Middle States with the truth of the informa tion set forth. Thousands of these papers will be distributed at the St. Louis Fair, and will prove an effective advertisement of the Lewis and Clark Fair and attract widespread attention to the resources of Oregon. ZJ-! We are not prepared to give an opinion on the relative merits of the county exhibits at the Oregon State Fair this year, but think there is no loubt of the fact that the Polk Couuty exhibit, which was awarded first place, was better than it was last year when it also secured first premium. From general appearances we would say that no other exhibit had more im provement over tho last year than Polk County. Mrs. Wolfe, who has for a number of years prepared the Polk County exhibit, has learned a great deal about tho business, aud it will bother any inexperienced person to match her in making an exhibit. II. M. Williamson, editor Rural Northwest. Has Otto Gilstrap been added to the staff of the Evening Telegram? The Saturday number of that excellent daily says : "Verily, it is a fact that Chairman of tho Republican State Central Committee Franklin Calhoun Baker was in action. Perspiratory exudations in form globular and in numbers multitudinous sparkling like effervescent dowdrops under tne ridoseent rays of tho matutinal sun stood forth on his alabaster brow, while at right angles with the circum ference 'of his cranial slope 'each particular hair stood on end likequills upon the fretful porcupine.' Otto, in hispalmiostdays, never perpetrated anything more atrocious than this. When a woman gives up it is because she lias gone to the utmost limit of streii"lh and endurance. It is a marvel how women will stagger on under the dai'.v household burdens when the whole bcxi'v is racked with pain. Icr the nervous, run-down condition which so manv women experience, as a result of overstrain in household cares, there is no medicine can equal Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It strengthens the weak stomach by cur ing diseases of the organs of digestion and nutrition. It purities the blood of poisons which cause rheumatism and other painful difeuses. It nourishes the nerves, ajid builds up the body with sound, leultliy flesh. ''"here is no alcohol in " Golden Med ical Discovery" and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other nar cotics. Accept no substitute for the " Discov ery." There is nothing " just as good" for weakness, nervousness and debility. I want the whole world to know what Dr. p'erre'H niediciues have done for me." writes tirt. Helen llardirrove. of Bangs, Knox Co., O., "I !ia;i m-inv of the ills of woman's life. My lun-'s ami thiw.t troubled nie besides, and I Bad rheumatism. About a year ago I had to give up work I was so bad.

Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buf falo, N. Y. in Dallas she made many friends, and was respected by all for her good qualities. Independence has no vacant dwell ings this Fall, and the people are worryiug over tho problem of shelter ing the new families that aro con stantly arriving. Do like Dallas has been doing for tho last throe years: Put two or three families into one house until new houses can bo built for their accommodation. Tho price at which many Polk county hop men sold their crops before the picking season began don t look much like 30 cents, but soino of these same growers feel about liko that amount of money just at the present timo.
