DALLAS. OREGON, APIilL 14.1905.
The way to build up Dallas u to pat
ronize Dallas people.
The time for preparing the Folk
county exhibit for the Lewis and
Clark Fair is growing short, and the
work of collecting the display will be
rushed from now on. The county
must begin the actual work of install
ing its exhibit by May 10, so it will be
seen there is not much time to lose.
The County Courthas made an appro
priation of $800 to help defray ex
penses, and Is desirous that every
citizen of the county shall lend a hand
in preparing a creditable showing of
Polk's resources. The committees on
hops and woods are especially urged
to hasten the preparation of their part
of the exhibit. The competition be
tween the various counties will be red
hot this year, and if Old Polk desires
to hold her title as the "Blue ltibbon
County of Oregon," she will have to
hurry.
The spirit of civic improvement is
In the air, and property-owners
throughout the town are cleaning and
beautifying their premises. Old, un
sightly yard fences are being torn
down, door-yards graded and seeded
to lawn grass and clover, ilowers and
shade trees planted, and parking
strips laid out. Liberal quantities of
paint are also being used, and many
weather-beaton houses are being made
to look as good as new. The change
for the better is already noticeable on
every hand, and the good work has
only just begun. Dallas will present
a more attractive appearance this
coming summer than ever before.
The Federal grand juiy completed
its labors Saturday afternoon and was
discharged by Judge Bellinger. As a
result of the five days' seosion, a large
batch of indictments was returned.
Prominent among the men charged
with defrauding or attempting to do
fraud the Government are State
" Souator K. A. Booth, of Eugene, and
his brother, Henry J. Booth, former
roceivor of the Iloseburg land offlce.
Rev. Stephen Turnoll, a Roseburg
minlstor, and Thad 8. Potter, formerly
clerk in the law ofllco of State Sonator
F. P. Mays, are also umoug the indicted.
Oregon's fruit crop last year was
worth two and a half million dollars.
The apple crop alone brought nearly
a million dollars Into tho state. And
the fruit industry in Oregon is only
In Its infancy.
The city of Salem Is preparing to
Improve Its principal streets, and will
probably put down macadam pave
ment. The streets have a good founda
tion of boulder rock, und tho crown
will bo raised about six lnchos above
tho presont grado. This six-inch
raise will consist entirely of crushed
rock, In several layers of different
sized or graduated cubes, and the
thlcknoBB of tho macadam will taper
off from the crown to the gutter whore
It will bo about four Inches thick. As
oach layer of crushed rock, which
must bo of tho best quality of basalt,
Is put on, It will bo packed down hard
with a heavy road roller until it be
comes perfectly solid and im
penetrable. After the last layer is
put on, which will be in gubes about
the size of a walnut, a dressing of
screenings will bo put on top and this
rolled down until it becomes as smooth
as asphalt pavement.
Commencement at Rickreall.
The annual com menoementexereises
of tho Rickreall public school will bo
held next Thursday night. An ex
eellent program will be given. County
Superintendent C. L Starr will deliver
the address to the graduating class.
The annual reunion of tho Alumni
Association will l held on Friday
evening.

HAS SET GOOD EXAMPLE.
The city of Dallas has set an ex
ample that is weil worth emulation by
every other town In Oregon, and The
Times would respectfully urge upon
the citizens of Brownsville that they
"go and do likewise."
The movement, which emanated
with the Dallas city council, has been
enthusiastically taken up by the citi
zens, and if carried out will make
Dallas more clean and attractive than
it now is. The plan adopted was the
organization of a Civic Improvement
League, the object of which Is to sug
gest and carry out systematic plans
for beautifying the town, and to assist
the officers in enforcing the ordinances
prepared for civic betterment. Such
an organization is calculated to arouse
public pride and get every inhabitant
interested in making the town attrac
tive and therefore a more pleasant
place in which to dwell. Brownsville
Times.
DON'TS FOR THE PUBLIC.
Don't throw waste paper on the
streets.
Don't put chalk marks on fences
or buildings.
Don't fail to repair or renew your
pavements.
Don't forget to clean up your yards
and gardens.
Don't spit on the sidewalks.
The citizen interested in promoting
the public welfare can help materially
by personally observing these rules.
We must all remember that public
policy depends on the action of many,
If each individual does his or her
duty and observes the laws and ordi
nances, order and progress result ; if
he omits to do his share, chaos and
disorder follow.
Patriotism consists in the faithful
discharge of the small duties of life,
as well as an utilization of greater
opportunities. -American Civic AssO'
ciation.

WW FOR WOMEN
WHO CANNOT BE CURED.
Backed upTn- over a third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a
record such as no other remedy for the
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
women ever attained, the proprietors of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now
feel fully warranted in offering to pay
(500 in legal money of the United
States, for any case of Leucorrhea, Fe
male Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling
of Womb which they cannot cure. All
tliey ask is a fair and reasonable trial of
their means of cure.
The Vice-President Independent Ordsr
of Oood Templars.
An experience which many women have wa
related bv Miss A(fne Stebbiugs, of 231 East
loth Street, New York City, a follows: "I
nail very poor health for a year until life
looked dark and dreary to me. Had head
aches, backache, also pain, my sleep wa
broken and fitful. I longed for health. Tried
several medicines but noue were of any last
ing benefit until I took Doctor Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription. I soon realized that I
had found the right remedy. It helped nature
to throw off the poisons that saturated the
svstcm, removed all pains and strengthened
the digestive organs, aud brought the roses of
health back to my cheeks. This medicine it
taken occasionally keeps the system in perfect
condition, helping it to throw off the disease
and consequences of exposure to dampness. 1
am pleased to give it my endorsement."
"Favorite Prescription" makes weak
women strong, sick women well. Ac
cept no substitute for the medicine
which works wonders for weak women.

Adviser is sent free on receipt of 21 one
