Polls County Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AXD PUBLISHER. Published Weekly it 11.50 per - Strictly in Advance. Year. DALLAS. OREGON', August 11, 1905 The way to build up Dallas is to pat- rtnize Dallas people. C. W. Hodson and A. A. Bailey, both of Portland, are mentioned as probable candidates for the nomi nation for State Printer. Let's see. aren't thene the two men Bailey in the House and Hodson in the Senate that fought every bill asked for by the newspaper men of Oregon at the last session of the Legislature? Or are we mistaken? A test of the temperature of Bull llun water In Portland and a similar test of Canyon Creek water in Dallas, made on the same day this week, showed the Dallas water to be six de grees colder than that furnished the people of the metropolis and Bull Run water is famous the world over for its coolness in the summer season. A well-known business man of Polk county informs the Obsekver that he visited the Polk county booth at the Fair three times in one forenoon re cently and found nobody in charge. Visitors stopping to examine the dis play would linger around on the out side for a little while and then pass on to some other county booth, where a more cordial reception awaited them. Inquiry developed the fact that Mrs. Wolfe was at her farm in Polk county, and that her daughter was out in town or somewhere on the Fair grounds. The latter did not show up at her post of duty until a few minutes before the noon hour. This is only one instance out of a hundred that might be cited to show the utter indifference and carelessness of Mrs. Wolfe and her daughter in the important work in trusted to them. The Polk county exhibit at the Fair is being sadly neglected, and the county will reap little benefit from its display if present conditions are allowed to continue. NO HOPS SELLING Conrad Krebs, Ever Hopeful, Pre dicts 25.Ceht Market In the Near Future. nopmon from all parts of the Northwest, and several from the East were' at' the Belvedere Wednesday says the Oregonian. No uetlvity in the locul market followed their urrival but they were busy most of the day investigating conditions und sound lng the market. Trading in this state is at a standstill, as growers ro fuse to consider the offers of buyers, An advance of a cont or two might bring some hops on the market, but it is said that few hops could bo bought at even 20 cents. Among the visitors was Conrad Krebs, of Salem, who is the only large speculator who has not yet sold out. ne is confident that nigher prices will rule in the near future. "The crop In our own Independence yards is a groat disappointment to us," said Mr. Krobs. "Ten days ago we looked for 1000 pounds to the aero, and now I am certain we will not get ovor 500. All the boat yards In that district have been afflicted by the sun-turn blight. The poor hop yards wore ruinod long ago. "Our 1904s are not on the market, ana will not bo soon, i am sure we will not sell before October or Novem ber. America is not going to raise enough hops this year for her own re quirements, and nothing can prevent prices from going up. I bolieve tho market will open around 25 cents." INDEPENDENCE NOTES.

No woman can look beautiful without good health. A woman's pixxl health appends on those organs peculiarly femi nine, and which so often become disor dered, rausine misery, and dracing-down pain. Nature's "laws are perfect, health endures if you olx-y them, but disease fol'ov.s disobedience. Tho distressing complaints of women are often brought about by catching cold at a critical period, breathing foul indoors' air and long hours of work and nervous tension. Go straight to Nature for the cure to the forest. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription is Nature's cure for the dis tressing complaints of women. Prof. King, M. D.. in his American Dispensa tory, says of ISlack Cohosh or IJIack Snake-root "our early American In dians set a high value on this root in diseases of women. It is surpassed by no other drwj, in congaiUve cottdltUms of the parts where there are dragging pains and tenderness." Lady's Slipper root is a "nerve stimulant and tonic, improving both circulation and nutrition of the nerve centers favoring sleep and cheerful condition of the mind; of service in mental depression, nervous headache, Irregularities of women with desiwndency." Prof. King. Besides the alKive ingredients there are Golden Seal, Unicorn and Blue Cohosh roots in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser will lie sent free, paper-bound, for 21 one-cent stamps, or cloth-bound for 31 stamps. Over 10U0 pages and illustrated. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be used with "Favorite Prescription" whea ever a laxative is required. PROMOTION IS RAPID Former Dallas Boy Is Winning Fame as a Draftsman In San Francisco.

He writes his father that he has been placed at the head of the drafting de partment of one of the largest elevator companies in banFrancisco, with a fine suite of office rooms and a hand some salary. The position is one of great responsibility.and young Collins was chosen out of a host of appli cants for the place. Four years ago Frank was a student of Dallas College. Desiring to learn the machinist's trade, he left school at the age of 18 years and went to San Francisco, where he contracted to serve a four years' apprenticeship in the shops of the Union Iron Works. In addition to his work as a machinist, he took a course in drafting and made rapid advancement, receiving his cer tificate as a Master Draftsman in May of the present year. He then turned his whole attention to his work in the machine shops, expecting to finish his apprenticeship on July 29. Early in tho mouth of July he received theoffer of a position from the elevator company, and the Superintendent of the Iron Works hearing of the oppor tunity placed before tho young man immediately called him into the office and gave him a Master Machinist's certificate, that he might accept the desirable position offered him. Frank was a popular boy iu Dallas, and his many friends will be pleased to hear of his successful start in life. Notice. To whom it may concern : Tho firm of Abel Uglow and John C.

Albany Herald LONG DISTANCE MUTUALS Farmers' Telephone Lines May Permitted to Build Into Port land This Fall. Be The Home Telephone Company, that got a franchise at the last J une elec tion to build an automatic telephone system in Portland, has just bought at the corner of Park and Burn side streets a corner lot 100x115 feet, at a cost of $30,000, and will erect a $70,000 building. As the appliances are heavy for the automatic system, a more staple and permanent building will have to be had than for the ordi nary switchboard. On an automatic switchboard any operator can call any telephone connected with the system no difference how far it may be away from the switchboard. Work will begin about the 20th of this month on the conduits, which are built of vitrified tile, with three-inch holes, laid under ground in cement so as to be absolutely water proof, with man holes t each street crossing. Through each tile a lead cable is pulled with 300 copper wires, and spliced at each street crossing to the desired length. It is expected that a long distance line from Corvallis to Portland will be built during the fall months, con necting with the Independent system. W. D. DeVarney is connected with the Home Telephone Company, as well as the Independent of this city. Corval lis Gazette. BUSINESS LOCALS.
