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.

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.

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.

DAMAGED BY FRESHET
Muir &. McDonald Are Rebuilding
Tramway Between Dallas
Sawmill and Tannery.
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.
