The Independence Enterprise tells ot a meeting of the Independence Im provement League in which the matter of the proposed Polk county exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Fair was dis cussed , and says : "A letter from Judge Goad to Mayor Cooper was read in which the Judge said the county court 'Cannot, ought not, and will not' take charge of the matter of a county exhibit at the Lewis and Clark lair. The league took tne position that the court 'Can, ought and must tako charge or tne matter, If the Observer understands the situation correctly, the County Court is willing to help prepare the exhibit, but is not willing to spend the people's money iu paying a man a salary to remain in Portland during the entire Fair and have charge of the exhibit. The Court has shown commendable enterprise and public spirit by appro priating $300 to help defray the ex pen ses of collecting a suitable exhibit of the county's products, but does not feel justified in making a further ap propriatiou to pay tne salary or a manager of the exhibit. The Court has shown itself friendly to the project at all times, and there is no reason to believe that this friendly interest and encouragement will not continue Any attempt to force the Court to do something that it does notdesire to do, would be in bad taste, aud would only prove fruitless in the end. The better way, aud the only successful way, is for every citizen of Polk county to work harmoniously with tho Court in preparing au exhibit that will be a credit not only to Polk county but to the whole State of Oregon. It is highly desirable that tho Court shall tako the lead iu directing the preparation of this exhibit, as it will be necessary to have a head to the work, but farther than this direction of the work and the liberal appropriation already made, tho Court cannot reasonably be asked to go. Let's cut out all this talk of "tho Court must," or "tho Court must not," and get together like good citi zens next Thursday afternoon and outline a plan of work that will make tho Polk County exhibit the best at the 11)1)5 Fair. The nowspaper men returning from Hood River have only pleasantthings to say of that enterprising section and its line apples, on display during tho editorial convention. Several papers very properly observe that any part of tho Willamette valley can produce apples probably as good as those of Hood River. Tho trouble is that at Hood River everybody sprays and the orchards are well cared for, while in tho valley hereabout it is the exception for this sort of care to prevail. Hence tho wormy apples. The moral is plain enough. Albany Herald. Henry E. Reed, secretary of tho Lewis and Clark Corporation, Is pleased with the envelope designed by tho Ladies' Division, of Dallas. He writes tho Ouskkvf.k as follows: "I have for acknowledgment your letter oftho2,r)ih inst, inclosed in envelope used to attract attention to Dallas. This is tho proper idea, and your peo ple should be encouraged to uso these envelopes, sending them far aud wide. You may rest assured that it would be n great pleasure to tho Exposition management if every Eastern visitor to Portland next year would visit Dallas, and be informed concerning Polk county. You ought to have 73,000 people in youi county." icrofnla It is the plaiD duty of every citizen to go to the polls and vote on Tues day, November 8. Never mind if the campaign has been quiet and it is taken for granted that Roosevelt and Fairbanks will carry every state West of the Rocky Mountains. It Is a duty that you owe to your country and your party to vote. Oregon has made a large gain in population in the last four years, and we want the world to know it. It would be humiliating, in deed, if a less number of votes were cast this year than were cast four years ago. Other Pacific Coast states will hold their state and county elec tions at this time, and these contests will bring out a full vote. Oregon, having no local contests, must depend upon the pride and loyalty of her citi zens to make a creditable showing for the state. Even were the Republican and Democratic parties more equal in strength, the success of the former at the polls next month would be assured, since tho young voters are almost solid for Theodore Roosevelt. The career of Mr. Roosevelt is one which appeals to youth, and he is almost an idol to the boy entering on- manhood. This, if there were no other issue at stake, is sufficient to turn the scales in favor of a man who is a typical American citizen and who has won his way to fame through force of personal merit. Telegram. When Secretary Shaw came to the Pacific Coast a few weeks ago to speak in behalf of the Republican National ticket, the Democratic newspapers criticized him severely for leaving his post of duty to take part in a political campaign. Jow, uregons .Democratic Governor goes to California on a campaigning tour, ana tneso same newspapers are as mum as mice. Be consistent, gentlemen. fill Twenty-one counties of Oregon will vote upon the question of county pro hibition a week from next Tuesday. Grand Republican Rally. The Republican clubs and voters of tho city of Salem have made extensive preparations to hold one of the grandest Republican rallies that has ever been attempted upon a similar occasion in tne state or ure gon. All arrangements have beeu made for Tuesday evening, November 1, when beginning with a big illumi nated street parade, in which several Republican organizations and the voting population generally will par ticipate, and six bands have been en gaged to furnish the music for the occasion. Some of the best speaking of tho campaign will be heard at the opera house indulged in by such well known and prominent speakers as United States Senator John H, Mitch ell, Senator W. Kuykendall, Hon. Percy R. Kelly, and others. Neither money nor pains have beeu spared to mako the affair a grand success in every particular and it promises to be tho treat of the season.

The County Court requests the peo ple of Polk county to meet in the court room next Thursday afternoon, at 1 o'clock, todiscuss plans for the piepar- ation of a county exhibit at the Lewis ; and Clark Fair. Mass meetings of i this kind have been held in Marion, I Clackamas, Lane, and other counties! of Oregon, with the result that these ; counties are working enthusiastically and harmoniously in preparing suit able exhibits for the big Fair.

The evening was spent in playing llinch until 10:30, when a delicious lunch was served. Mrs. Moyer and her sister, Miss Pearl Bryant are clever hostesses, and the guests report an enjoyable time.

Fifty-six per-1 sons registered duriug the month! allowed for the purpose, lifty of these being new registrations aud six! hanging their residence. Fourteen voters cancelled their registration in ! .-out county, leaving a net gam over tho Spriug registration of 30. The greater number of voters registering uring the month are residents of Buena Vista precinct, where manv itizeus failed to register lust Spriug. "When it comes to buying blooded horses, cattle, sheep, goats and hogs, Polk county stock raisers are "there with the goods." Price cuts no figure with men like Thomas Brunk, William Riddell, U. S. Grant, Fred Koser, John B. Stump, C. L. Hawley, and others, so long us they can get the quality of stock they desire. It is a fact worthy of note that Polk county breeders have purchased the first prize winners at nearly every livestock show held iu the Eastern States and Canada in the last five or ten years.. Tho result is, that Polk county livestock ranks as high as any to be found in the world today. The latest addition to the Polk county breeding stock is the famous French Percheron stallion "Tafia (51,534) 34,911." This splendid horse was bred in France by M. Louis Poirier, and was foaled April 2, 1001. Tafia was imported by McLaughlin Brothers, the well-known importers of draft and coach stallions, of Colum bus, Ohio, and was exhibited at the St. Louis Fair, where he wou the Gold Medal. Thirty-eight hundred dollars were paid for him by his present owners, Amos Holman, of Dallas; J. B. Stump and William Riddell, of Monmouth ; Al McLaughlin, of Inde pendence; Henderson Murphy aud Georgo Wells, of Buena Vista. Talia was approved by the French Government to stand for public service in France. Ho is a perfect draft horse of tho highest quality, enormous width, wonderfully heavy bone and short legs. His present weight is l'J20 pounds. Ho is not only one of the biggest, but is one of the very best draft horses' that ever left Franco and one of the greatest show horses either in America or Furope.
