DALLAS DAY AT FAIR
Next MoDday will bo Dallas, New
berg and Dayton day at the fair. This
will be the first of a series of "Oregon
Cities' Days" at the big Exposition,
and a large number of visitors from
the towns along the Yamhill division
of the Southern Pacific railroad is
assured. The Fair officials are
unxioua to make the day enjoyable
for all who attend, and will overlook
no courtesy or attention that will add
to the pleasure of the visitors. It is
altogether probable that impromptu
exercises will be held, la which lead
Ing citizens of Polk county will take
part, and the Oregon building will be
thrown open to the visitors for the
entertaiument of their friends.
The train will leave Dallas at the
usual hour in the morning, and will
run on regular schedule time, giving
the excursionists seven hours at the
Fairgrounds. A half-faro rate will
be granted for the round trip by the
railroad company. The people of
Dallas aie taking an active interest in
their day at the big Exposition, and
many will avail themselves of the
opportunity to join tho excursion.
Some of tho loading business houses
have declared their Intention of giv
ing their employes a holiday, and it
Is probable that nearly all the stores
and offices In town will bi closed.
Every man woman and child who
can get away from homo should attend
the Fair next Monday. It is a duty
that every citizen owes to his town to
help make Dallas Day ono long to
be remembered. Dallas Is known
throughout the length and breadth of
the state as a live, progressive town,
and the eyes of Oregon will be upou
U9 next Monday. It is important that
we make a good showing on that day,
and tho way to make a good Bhowing
Is to join the crowd and go to Port
land. The people who have invited
us are looking for us, so lot us not
disappoint them.
POLITICAL FORECAST
(0. M. Humphrey In Jufl'crHon Review.)
Slates are being arranged for state
officers to be elected next year. As
usual, domocratlo aspirants are
scarce, as few caro to make an almost
hopeless -flght. Chamberlain will be
renominated for governor, but where
the remainder of the ticket will be
found Is a matter of doubt. It is a
case of the nomination seeking the
man. In republican ranks there are
numberless candidates, and each one
Is satisfied that he is tho man whose
nomination would settle all dissen
sions in party ranks and lead the en
tire ticket to g-e-l-o-r-l-o-u-8 victory.
Tho latest aspirant mentioned for
governor Is Judge George II. Burnett,
and the warm brotherly feeling now
existing between him and Chamber
lain would make tho campaign so hot
that they would havo to bo accom
panied by a volunteer fire department
or a Uabcock extinguisher. Col. E.
Hofer and Walter L. Toozo are each
oertaiu that he la peculiarly fitted to
succeed IJinger Hermann as congress
man. Justice C. E. Wolverton and
State Printer J. R. Whitney want to
Ih) re-elected. Claud Oatch aud Frank
T. Wrightman are each willing to
sacrifice four years time for the dear
people and hold down the office of
socretary of state. J. W. Cusick, the
well known Albany banker, would
not refuse the nomination tor state
treasurer. And the above are but a
few of the many uames prominently
mentiotuxl for state offices. For
county offices not much work is being
done yet Taken altogether, 190G
promises to be a live year politically
In Oregon.
League in Independence on Monday
and Tuesday.Juue 12 and 13. The Inde
pendence Improvement League sends
