COUNTY WILL PAY CHARGES C.junty Judge Coad requ'sts us to announce that the county will pay the transportation charges on all articles selected for exhibition at the Lewis and Clark Fair. People living tributary to Dallas are requested to take their specimens of fruit, grain Tegetable etc., toMrs. John E. Smith who will pass on the same, and if the articles are considered worthy of place Id the Polk county exhibit, they will b- forwarded to Portland without cost to the person furnishing them Mrs. J, S. Cooper has been authorized by the Court to accept exhibits from all portions of the county tributary to Independence. Many citizens of th county are anxious to send spe3l nuns of the choice products of th cjunty to the big Fair, and the arrangement made by the Court will enable them to do so without trouble orexpense. Mrs. Wolfe, superintendent of the Polk county exhibit, spent several days In thecounty this week gathering material that will lend to the attract Ivenesa of the display, Among th collection are specimens of early vegetables, fruits and flowers. The wild flowers wereespeelally attractive both as to beauty and variety. Two large baskets of rhododendron bios soois from the mountains west of Falls City were the most attractive feuture of the collection. The Court Is anxious to secure good exhibit of the minerals of the county and will spare no efforts to obtain specimens of the various kinds of rock. In thisdisplay will be shown the beautiful granite of the Luckia- mute mountains; the basaltic rock from Ellcndale, unexcelled for road building purposes, and the Oakdale stone from which the Polk County courthouse was built. Old Polk is rich in building stone, and a fine exhibit will be made. xne people or rout county are uwakening to the Importance of hav ing a good exhibit at the Fair, and tho Court is receiving offers of assist ance from all parts of the county. We have the resources from which to make a prize-winning display, and will attain desired results If eaoh citl zon will only perform his little share of the work. Tho Development meeting at Inde pendence developed the fact that there ia no dearth of office-seekers in Ore gon. They were all there except "Doc" Withycombe, and he couldn't get away. Prominent among the "glad handers" wore: Hon. Walter Tooze, the Patrick llnry of Wood- burn, who aspires to stop Into the Bhoes of Congressman Binger Her mann ; Col. E. Hofer, the urbane edi tor of the Salem Journal, who has modestly placed himself in the hands of his friends; Hon. Ben Jones of Toledo, who wouldn't be averse to serving another term as Joint Hep rescntative for Polk aud Lincoln counties; Hon. Jim Cooper whose as pirations are an exact ditto of those of Mr. Jones; Tall Timothy Geer, HI riummer s bosom mend, who once declared that he was not a "mlscella neons candidate, but who doubtless Isn't so particular now, aud a host of other patriots who would bo glad to serve the dear eople. It was a great day for the politicians, and they all kept busy. The United States cruisers Boston and Chicago will arrive at Portland this morning. The cruiser Marblo head has been there several days. Visitors to the Eastern Fairs had to coutent themselves with looking at models of Uuele Sam's warships, but people attending tho Lewis and Clark Exposition will see the real thing. The demurrer to the Mitchell indict ment was overruled, and tho Senator will get what lie was so anxious for at tJrst a sjHHHly trial.

HER DAYS DONE Mrs. Catherine Garwood Passes Away at Her Daughter's Home Near Dallas. Mrs. Catherine Garwood died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Joh Farley, Thursday, June 8, 1905, aged 58 years. Her death was caused by complication of ailments, chief of which was dropsy. She had been i failing health for several years, but it was not generally known that her condition was so serious, and the news of her death was a sad surprise to her many friends. Mrs. Garwood wa3 a daughter of M. L. Bobbins, and was born I Missouri, December 19, 184C. She crossed the plains to Oregon with her parents In 1853. The family spent the first winter after their arrival in cabin two miles west of Dallas, and then movel to King's Valley, whei tney uvea lor several years, bhe was marrieJ to Newman Garwood on the 23d day of June, 1865, and moved with her husband to a farm west of Dallas, where they lived until his death, which occurred in 1898. Of the six childn born to them, three are living. They are Mrs. Mary Dennis and Mrs. Ollie Farley, of Dallas, and Mrs. Carrie Skipton, of Salem, Mrs. Garwood became a member of the Christian church when young, and lived a useful life. She was kind to the afflicted and distressed, and was held in the highest esteem by her neighbors. She was one of those goble pioneer women who so bravely an uncomplainingly performed their part in the development of all that is best in the great state of Oregon, and the friends who are left behind will ever cherish her memory. Editor Bennet Lost. (Irrignn irrigator.) The editor of the Irrigator was dinged sure that Williams would elected Mayor of Portland that wagered ten plunks on the result, And where are those ten plunks now In the pocket of a democrat, to be use to buy more votes, to elect more demo crats at the next election. Bettinir leads to all sorts of sins. It is a very very, sinful practice if you lose. If you win, tho sin is on tho other fellow We wouldn t have made this bet, but we thought we had a cinch, and that, therefore, tho democrat was, as usual committing the crime. All of which loads us to remark that evil associa tions are sure to cause trouble, even for tho best aud most virtuous of men and as for us we will hereafter give all democrats a wide berth unless we can find a cast-iron chance to get that ton back.

The second convention .of the Wil lamette Valley Development League was held in Independence, Monday evening and Tuesday forenoon. Nearly all the valley couuties were represented by delegates, and the meeting was full of harmony and enthusiasm. Secretary Walter Lyon called the meeting to order, and intro duced President E. Hofer, who pre sided throughout the session. Hon. B. F. Jones, of Toledo, deliv ered a fine address on the "Opening of Yaquiua Bay," and was listened to with the closest attention by every delegate present. The discussion that followed proved that the people of the Willamette Valley are deeply inter ested in the development of the harbor at Yaquina. Over 2000 people were fed at the barbecue and clam-bake in the even ing. A whole beef, 30 bushels of clams and five dozen chickens were served on tables arranged in the form of a hollow square, and the crowd made short work of disposing of the good things provided. The clams were furnished by B. F. Jones, and it is needless to say that the popular Lincoln county lawyer was the hero of the hour. The beef was roasted by F. J. Oberer, and all who partook of the delicious meat pronounced him an expert cook. The evening session was held in the Opera House. The speakers were Eev. Elayer, of Independence; W. P. Elmore, of Brownsville; I. H. Bing ham, of Eugene, and Walter Tooze, of Woodburn. Vocal numbers were given by Miss Helen Cooper and Miss Mira Kimberlain.

Hollister, of For est Grove, on "Ownership of Public Utilities." I. H. Bingham, of Eugene, spoke on "Transportation and Manu facturing" ; Mrs. Edith Tozier Wether- red, on "The Needs of Oregon"; J. G. Graham, of Salem, on "Farmers Ton nage Through the Willamette Locks," and Walter Tooze, of Woodburn, on "Opening of the Looks." On Monday afternoon, a number of prominent bankers met and took pre liminary steps toward a state organ ization. Ira Powell, of Monmouth was elected chairman of the meeting, and R. E. Williams, of Dallas, secro tary. The chair appointed J. Frank Watson, of Portland ; W. II. Dunkley, of Portland, and H. Hirschberg, of Independence, as a committee on permanent organization.
