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."

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

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

"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.
