The way to build up Dallas ts to pat ronize Dallas people. EXHIBIT IS ASSURED Mrs. F. A. Wo'fe hau agreed to take charge of the preparation of a Polk county exhibit for the Lewis and f!Urk Fair, and the success of the movement is now assured. The com mittee appointed by the County Court to wait unon Mrs. Wolfe and ask her to take charge of the exhibit, visited her at her home near Falls City, Mon day, and were informed by that lady that she is willing to undertake the preparation of a display of the re sources of the county for the big 1905 Fair. She promises the people of Polk county that she will do all in her power to make a creditable exhibit, and all she asks in return is that she be allowed reasonable compensation for the time spent in collecting and preparing the display. This is cer taiuly a most reasonable offer, and it is one that will be favorably received by every progressive citizen of Polk county. Mrs. Wolfe has amply demonstrated her fitness for this kind of work in the preparation of two first-prize county exhibits at the Ore gon State Fair, and a grand showing for Polk county at the Portland Fair is now assured. It is the daty of all citizen to assist Mrs. Wolfe in every possible way, and to this end it is ex pected that the County Court will, at at its next meeting, appoint a special committee to aid in the important work. Three million dollars are to bo ex ponded on the Harriman lines in Ore gon in 1905. One hundred and forty eight miles of 80-pound steel rails will be laid on the Southern Pacific line, commencing at Ashland and running north. Eighty miles of track between Ashland and Portland will bo ballasted, and $870,000 is set aside for construction and repairs in the bridge department, for re-building wooden trestles with steel, and for making fills. It Is to be hoped that the company will continue tho good work of ballasting tho Yamhill divi sion between Dallas and Portland, and also oa tho Airlio end of tho line. A largo amount of gravel was hauled from the bar at Independence before tho rainy season began, and it is not unlikely that the work of Improving tho Dallas-Portland line will bo re sumed in the early Spring. The enterprising business men of Independence have contributed $080 for tho construction of a telephone lino to Monmouth and tho installation of a local switch-board. The amount was raised in less than two hours. Tho soliciting committee started out to get $ 500, but meeting such liberal and enthusiastic responses all along the line, did notecase work until $080 had been raised. Tho progressive Bpirit of these business men is de serving of tho highest commendation. It is tho spirit that makes thriving cities of country towns and villages. Tills number of tho Ouservkh con tains over 300 inches of paid adver tisements of homo merchants about twico as much homo advertising as is carried by any other paper published In the county. Tho Ohskhvur does not go outside of tho county for advertise ments of merchants who aro in direct eomiM'tition with our local business men. Tho way to build up polk county is to patronize Polk county pooplo. Tho Oregon City Enterprise, ono of the bright and newsy weekly news pa pers of Oregon, celebrated its thirty eighth birthday last week. The Enter prise is deservedly prosperous, and has recently added to its equipment a Merganthaler linotype machine. The Hood liiver apple growers culti vate and care for their orchards most religiously. Hon. E. L. Smith, Presi dent of the State Hoard of Horticulture, says the motto of these orohardists is "Let us spray."

Koser Gives a Few Her Impressions of the St. Louis Fair. of DALLAS, Nov. 15 (To the Editor.) I hope that what will be said here will not lead anyone to suppose that thi9 brief sketch is a complete de scription of the St. Louis Fair. 1, therefore, modestly present a few notes of things that came under my personal observation and impressed me most, as I swept through the grounds, without rudder or compass, and was carried forward whither I had not dreamed. The eye can see and the ear can appreciate, but the pen is not gifted enough to describe the first impressions one gets of the magnitude of the grounds, architect ural grandeur, beauty of landscape and artistic grouping of statuary in one of the most beautiful natural parks in the world, gemmed with shining lakes, sunken gardens filled with choicest flowers and cooling fountains, electric launches, and gon dolas rowed by Venetian boatmen, (guaranteed to be the real imported article) upon the lagoons. "Beautiful as the spectacle is by day, surpassing all former attempts of the kind, it takes on new splendor at night, when the electric illumination adds its glory to the scene. Every great building is outlined with myriads of lights. The illumination ot Festival Hall is the great center piece of the Exposition, and becomes an indelible picture in the mind of every visitor. The many towers of the Palace of Machinery become shafts of fire in the evening sky. The Palace of Electricity has the largost display of electrical machinery and appliances ever presented. There are novelties without number in this inteiesting division. The Palace of Agriculture covers 20 acres, and has four miles of aisles. Missouri, Iowa and South Dakota have fine corn exhibits. In the Illinois section is a pyramid of large, yellow ears of corn, furnished by 8000 boys, each contributing 10 ears from seed furnished them. Some of the decora tions made of corn husks, cobs, tassels and kernels aro wouderftil novelties. Figures made of prunes, cotton, nuts and butter contribute to tho attrac tiveness of the display. In the Oregon section is a largo figure of President Roosevelt on horseback, representing tho butter product of Oregon. In this section , they were also giving demon strations with prunes, from 2 to 4 p. in., daily. On tho north side of the Agricultural Building is tho Horal clock. The dial is 100 feet in diameter, the minute hand being 50 feet long, and weighing 2500 pounds. The face of the clock Is made of growing Huweis ; the figures are composed of red flowers, and are about four feet in length; the hour and half-hour are noted by a huge bell near by. The most extensive, and in some respects the most interesting exhibit at the World s Fair is that of the Philippine Islands.costingoue million dollars. This exhibit consists of nearly 100 buildings, and occupies 47 acres, housing 1100 representatives or tho different tribes of Islanders. The Walled City aud its approach form tho main entrance to the grounds. This wall is a reproduction of the wall encircling tho City of Manila. The southern shores of Arrowhead Lake aro dotted with tho bamboo hutsef tho Moro, tho Bagobo, and tho Visayan villages. In the center is a massive stono bridge, a reproduction of the Bridge of Spain which crosses tho Pasig river at Manila. Here we find the largest collection of shells in the world, some as largo as a tub. The Palaces of Arts consist of four buildings, costing $1,000,000, and con taining 135 galleries filled with raro paintings from all parts of tho world. The Palaco of Varied Industries, one of tho three largest buildings, has a large center court. The ornamentation of this enormous building is so elaborato and artistio as to excito the wonder and admiration of every visitor. Japan. Great Britain. Persia. Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Den mark, and other foreign nations have line exhibits peculiar to their countries. The Administration Building con tains Queen Victoria's jubilee c;ifts, made in caskets of nianv beautiful esigus in gold, silver and raro woods, inlaid with ivory, pearl, and studded with diamonds and other precious stones. The most costly of these gifts came from India. Each casket con tains an address from tho oountrv presenting it. The Alaska exhibit is extensive and interesting. An exhibit of native huts made of lAlaska gold, silver, copper, oal, and other native minerals, and the llora of the country, attracts much attention. Gaudy-colored totem poles standing guard about the native huts weite curiosity.while the crude Indian livings are of social interest for their novelty, rather than their beauty.

A man can succeed and be strong if he heeds Nature's warnings. When there is indigestion, loss of appetite, ringing in the ears, dizziness, spots be fore the eves or palpitation of the heart ; any or all of these symptoms point to weakness and loss of nutrition.

OFFICERS ARE ELECTED Polk County School Officers Effect Permanent Organization. As a result of last Saturday's meet ing, the Polk County School Officers' Association is now a permanent organization. Officers for the ensuing year were elected, and a plan of work agreed upon. The county was divided into ten districts, in each of which local institutes will be held as often as once a year. Tho attendance at Saturday's meeting was good, many of the teachers having remained over from the institute to attend the session. Subjects of interest to school direc tors and clerks were discussed, and valuable talks were made by Super tendents Ackerman, Hartranft, Starr, and Hon. George Myer. Among the suggestions was one for a law leaving the school money in the hands of the County Treasurer, to be drawn out as required by the Clerks of the districts. The law would apply only to districts of the second and third class, Mr. Ackerman gave as a leading reason the doing away with the system of giving bonds by the Clerks of the many small districts. Officers were elected as follows: President, William Grant; secretary, C. L. Starr. Vice-presidents for the various institute districts were chosen as follows: Rickreall, George Myer; Eola, T. W. Brunk; McCoy, S. L. Stewart; Harmony, J. K. Guttry ; Salt Creek, R. A. Campbell; Falls City, Frank Butler: Airlie. A. Womer: Buona Vista, J. M. Prather; Elkins, H. W. Dickinson ; Zena, J. R. Shepard. White Front Barn Sold. E. West has sold the White Front livery barn to Messrs. Croft and Wool scy. Mr. Croft is a recent arrival fromVashington, and his partner is from Oklahoma. Tho new firm has taken possession of the property. Mr. West will probably continue to make his home in Dallas. 4 4 1 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 NEAR 4 4 4 4 J 4 4 I 4! UNHEALTHY KIDNEYS n- rwrin savs That "Thousands have Kidney Trouble and do not Know it." "Yes " said Dr. Darrin to our re porter,'"kidney and bladder diseases are more prevalent than most people suppose. The symptoms are so numerous and diffcrentthat thousands suffer and do not discover the real cause or their trouble until they are in the fatal grip of Bright's disease or diabetes. "The warning of kidney trouble is backaches, aching pain over the hips, swollen ankles, sediment or deposit in the urine, bloody or highly colored urine, scanty urine, voracious appe tite, thirsty, mouth dry, tongue furred and swollen, weakness and wasting of flesh, skin pale, waxy or dry, bad odor of perspiration anu puffiness under the eves. "Advice and treatment should not be neglected by those having any one of the above symptoms, which can be easily cured, otherwise will result in a fatal malady. "I have for years," continued the doctor, "made a specialty of success fully treating all forms of bladder and kidney diseases, and will be pleased to talk with anyone regarding their nnspnnrl ffivn mv candid opinion, or 0 ., . . render any service they may require.
