HENRY CAHPBELL, DALLAS, OREG ON Attracted by the prospect of a trans continental trip, by the fame of Port land as one of the most beautiful cities in the United States, and by the stories of great things to be seen at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, many associa tions of land-wide membership are planning to hold conventions at Port land next summer during the Cen tennial. Most of the conventions will be held in Festival Hall at the Expo sition, where the large auditorium, built for such purposes, will be found an attractive meeting place. The total number of gatherings so far scheduled is about thirty, and these will bring an aggregate of some 30,000 people to to the Fair. Besides these, many other national organizations, as well as a number of western associations, will probably plan for conventions to be held at the Western World's Fair. Probably the most important, from a scientific standpoint at least, will be the convention of the American Medi cal Association, which will be held July 11-14, and bring together 2,500 doctors, many of national or world wide fame. The Associated Fraterni ties of America will meet, 2,000 strong, the National Good Roads Association will bring together as many members, and the National Association of Letter Carriers will pvobably bring 3,000 to the Exposition. About a thousand knights of the grip will attend the convention of the United Commercial Travellers of Oregon and Washington and as many of the Order of Railway Conductors will meet in convention. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of Oregon is expected to meet 1,000 strong, and there will probably be as many in attendance at the sessions of the Masonic Veteran Association of the Pacific Coast. The National Editorial Association, which will meet at Guthrie, O. T., will, after its convention, take a twenty five day trip visiting many points of Interest in California and other west ern states, and spending several days at the Fair. Two special trains will be necessary to convey the party, which will number at least 1,500. The National Lumber Dealers Association, which will meet at Omaha, will visit the Exposition afterwards, coming west on a special train, The National Association of Railroad Commis sioners will likewise have a special train to convey its members to Port land after meeting in convention at Dead wood, N. D.. Portland offers many attractions for visitors that other cities cannot boast. Known far and wide as the "Rose City," it is at its boat in the summertime, when the mild, cool climate assures relief from the oppressiveness of eastern and middle west heat, and nature, refreshed by the whiter rains, shows her satisfaction by covering the city with a wealth of green and a riot of .blooming flowers, The Exposition, though much smaller than that at St Louis, will be in many ways more attractive, being compactly laid out, and designed to emphasize to easterners the wealth and greatness of the western country. Hotel accom modations in Portland are of the best, and no extortion will be permitted Besides a large number of first-class hostelries, the city is covered with lodging houses, and thousands of peo ple will open their homes to visitorH at a reasonable rate. "The Register wonders where all the mud that rests upon the streets of Eu gene comes from. There are other places confronted with the same prob lem. The problem will neyer cease until some permanent pavement is laid. While the incomo of the valley towns is at the prosent figures, funds can not be had for much paving. But it would be economy in the end to lay some permanent pa vemen. every year with the end some time in sight of having good streets throughout the place." Albany Herald. Commenting upon the foregoing paragraph, the Salem Statesman says : "Precisely correct. Salem has wasted enough energy and money in 'monkeying' with & child's play method of 'improving' its streets to have easily paved every foot of them in its business center twice over. And the worst of it is, there are those who are actually etching to continue itt "If all the labor that has been placed on the roads of Marion county during the past forty years had been ex ponded in grading and macadamizing, every mile of them would now be in first-class condition for travel with heavy loads the year around. "Since everybody will admit this fact, why not everybody agree to abandon tho makeshift, do-nothing policy at once, and begin to push a system that will show some permanent results for the work done and money expended? . "Many of tho roads in Marion county that were established forty years ago are as muddy and difficult to travel today as 4,hen. Nothing whatever has been accomplished on such roads by all the work that has been thrown away in all those years. And tho same Bluggish policy of re sultless labor is still employed on Salem's streets. The 'improvements' put upon them in October will be hauled away in April."

ARM BADLY CRUSHED Brakeman on Yamhill Division Victim of Serious Accident at Harrison Station. Is A serious accident resulting almost fatally to Brakeman Morrison . oc curred on the Yamhill division of the Southern Pacific railroad Monday merit While the freight train was switching in the yards at Harrison station, Morrison in some manner got his foot stuck in a frog and was struck by the moving cars. He was dragged some distance, and when found a few minutes later, was badly used up. His right leg and arm were crushed, and he was otherwise painfully injured. He was immediately carried to the caboose and hurried off to Portland, where he was removed to a hospital. Upon examination it was found necessary to amputate the young man's arm, but the surgeons hope to save his leg. Morrison is about 21 years old, and is unmarried. He was a brakeman on the O. R. & N. railroad for several years, and was on his first trip over the Yamhill division when the acci dent occurred. Cured Lumbago. A. B. Canman, Chicago, writes March 4, 1903. "Having been troubled with Lumbago, at different times and tried one physician after another, then different ointments and liniments, I gave it up altogether. So I tried once more, and got a Lottie of Dallard's Snow Liniment, which gave me almost instant relief. I can cheerfully rec ommend it, and will add my name to your list of sufferers." .Sold by 'Nil son Drug Co. The Spirit of Winter. The Spirit of Winter is with us, making its presence known In many different ways sometimes by cheery sunshine and glistening snows, and sometimes by driving winds and blinding storms. To many pooplo it seems to take a delight in making bad things worse, for rheumatism twists harder.twinges sharper, catarrh becomes more annoying, and the many symptoms of scrofula are de veloped and aggravated. There is not much poetry in this, but there is truth, and it is a wonder that more people don't get rid of these ailments. The medicine that cures them Hood s Sarsaparilla is easily obtained and there is abundant proof that its cures are radical and permanent. Prof. T. J.

Every Two Minutes Physicians tell us that all the blood in a healthy human body passes through the heart once in every two minutes. If this action be comes irregular the whole body suffers. Poor health follows poor blood ; Scott's Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOTT'S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly di gested before it enters the stomach ; a double advan tage in this. Less work for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least pos sible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health. Scott's Emulsion docs just that. A change for the better takes place even be fore you expect it. We will lend you a tample free. Be mre that thil picture in the form of a label Ut on the wrap per of every bottle of Emulsion you buy. Scott & Bowke ChemiKJ 409 Pearl St., N. Y. fo cents and fi.oo Ail araEEUtt It was a proud day for folk county when the judges of the great livestock show in St. Louis awarded the prises for the best Angora goats to the beautiful animals exhibited by Wil liam Riddell & Sons, of Monmouth, Oregon. Now comes tho news from the Fair city that Polk county wins both tho gold and silver medals for the finest exhibit of mohair. U. S. Grant, of Dallas, wins the gold medal, and William Riddell & Sons are the proud captors of the silver medal. Mr. Orant's exhibit was arranged n a beautiful and artistic manner, and excited the admiration of all who had the privilege of seeing it before it was sent to the Fair. The samples of mohair were mounted on a card in such a way as to attract particular attention to the length of fleece and fineness of fibre. Each sample was properly labeled, and the whole card was surrounded by a handsome frame. The exhibit was a highly creditable pieoe of work. Not having seen the exhibit of Rid dell & Son, wo are unable to give a description of it here, but it Is safe to say that the experts made no mistake when they awarded the silver medal . to the Monmouth breeders.

The recent high water swept away a long span of the Muir & McDonald bridge across tho LaCreole river jn tho north end of town. Tho bridge was use4 in conveying fuel from the Johnson sawmill to the Dallas tan nery, and was built only a few months ago. The missing portion of the structure will bo replaced at once by a suspension bridge, with a main span 80 foot in length. Tho bridge will support a largo pipe through which sawdust and shavings will bo blown from tho mill to the tannery. Dump cars will bo useu in conveying me f uol from the end of the pipe to tho boiler-room. The new bridge is being built in a substantial manner, and will be safer than the old structure in that there will be no center pier to be undermined by the swift current of the stream. Tho Dallas tannery is being oper ated toitsfullcnpacity and is shipping an average of twenty rolls of saddle leather each month. The greator portion of the product goes to Dallas, , Texas, and Little Rock, Arkansas. NATIVITY STATISTICS Percentage of Foreign Votes In Polk County Is Small.
