A SALEM PIPE DREAM. The Salem Statesman is again busy, building a sky-blue railroad between Dallas and the Capitol City. The road is a long way up in the air, however, and judging from past history, It is likely to etay there awhile. Salem has had numerous opportunities to secure railroad connection with Dallas in the last ten years, but every proposition offered has met with indifference, or a downright refusal of aid. Only re cntly a proposition was submitted by a railroad builder and capitalist to build and equip the road, provided the citizens of Salem would only sub scribe for a reasonable amount of guaranteed bonds. No bonu3 was asked, and the return of every dollar subscribed was practically guaranteed to subscribers. This proposal, like all that had been made before, was turned down, and the project was abandoned. The Statesman says that the latest proposition for a road between Dallas and Salem contemplates a loan of 165,000, and that capitalists of Dallas have promised to advance a consider able portion of this amount. The Obsebveh doesn't believe a word of it. The people of Dallas gave liberal aid to the building of the road from Falls City, but there is no likelihood that they will ever contribute a cent toward the extension of the road to Salem. The building of such an extension will rest entirely with the people of Salem, unless some company should take up the project and build the road on its own account. The people of Dallas are interested in building roads Into their town, and not out of it. The Observes believes that event ually a road will be built between Dallas and Salem. The day is not far distant when the whole Willamette Valley will be a checkerboard of rail road and electric lines. The develop mentis bound to come. But the people of Salem will have to awaken to the fact that railroads cost money, and lots of it. The nionied men of .Salem will have to show more enterprise than they have exhibited heretofore, if they ever expect to make their town a railroad center. Cold-hearted man ufacturers won't take hot air in exchange for steel rails, and six-bit donations will not build many miles of roadbed. The civllized.world will rejoice that Russia and Japan have agreed upon terms of peace and that the bloody war Id tho Far East Is at an end. While Russia is credited with a diplomatic victory in securing the abandonment of Japan's claims for Indemnity, a careful study of tho terms of tho treaty will show that tho victorious Japanese havo secured all that they were in a position to do maud. It is not improbable that they have made even better terms than they exiected to mako when they sent their onvoys to Portsmouth. All of tho original demands of Japan, which woro the cause of tho war, have been won, and were roadlly conceded by the losing natiou. Japan wins Korea, tho evacuation of Manchuria, the 0en door, the Integrity of China, the south half of Sakhalin and payment for tho keep of Russian prisouors. the Lino Tung peninsula, and tho ceding of the Chinese Eastern railroad south of Chautafu. Tho three points won by Russia are tho payment of Indemnity, tho Interned Russian ships and the curtailment of Russian naval power in the Far East. Japan has won everything sho contended for in the beginning, and Russia still has her cherished "kopecks" so both nations ought to bo satisfied. Ex-Governor Oenr Is quoted as say ing that ho does not want to bo i United States Senator for tho reason that there is no money In it. Ho says the ofllco of Governor is much more profitable. Geor ought to know the possibilities of the Governor's ofile He filled that position four years, and can evidently see more than $5000 a year In the constitutional salary of $1500. Else, why the comparison? President Roosevelt has demon strated his ability as a peacemaker, as he long ago demonstrated his bravery as a fighter. America's Presi dent is the foremost man In tho world today. General Debility Pay In and out there Is thHt fit ! - Weakness that makes a burden of it.-i ". Fiiod dors not strengthen.

Anqora goats. ) bop fields and otler farm scenes. The folder is published by authority of ! the County Court of Poii County. In J preparing this folder at the request of j the Court, the writer Las endeavored to give a faithful description of the (county, and to crowd the greatest I possible amount of information into ! . L , 1 : : . , A . . A -A rt :.',r of the descriptive matter were taken from former reliable advertisemetis of Polk county, and the remainder of the text was prepared especially for this folder. A conscientious effort has been made to avoid exaggeration and to give every portion of the county a fair deal. The full text of the folder is printed on the first page of this paper. People in Dallas who are not satis fied with the 4-hour lawn sprinkling rule of the water company and are laboring under the delusion that more time would be granted if the town operated the waterworks should turn their attention to Hillsboro, where the time of sprinkling has been cut to two hours since the city took charge of the plant, and to Newberg, where the council has ordered lawn sprinkling to cease altogether. We would not have it understood that we are saying anything disparaging to either of these towns or their water systems. Both towns are probably managing their plants the very best they possibly can, butcaDnot see their way clear to grant the desired service. Municipal ownership of public utilities is desir able in many respects, but the means of small towns are usually limited and the people cannot always afford to build such plants as they would like to have, and really need. And again, town councils will not always do just what each taxpayer wants them to do, for the simple reason that they can't. Speaking of lawn sprink ling, Dallas has mrre handsome lawns than any town of its size in the valley, and it is a noticeable fact that the best lawns are those that are sprinkled about 15 minutes each day, or about two hours a week. trie courthouse lawn is one of the prettiest in Dallas, or In Oregon for that matter, and the reason it is beautiful is because it is so large that it is im possible to get on too much water with the sprinkling apparatus provided. One of the quickest ways to destroy a clover lawn is to drown it out. The latest paper railroad is a line from Eugene through the Cascade mountains to Ontario in Eastern Ore gon, with branches to Klamatn rails and Lakeview. Seven surveyors and their helpers have established head quarters In Eugene, and are working east, up the middle fork of the Wil lamette river. Railroad men were at first of tho opinion that G.iukl was tho man behind the move for a rail road through Central Oregon, but late developments indicate that the urveyors are in iho employ of E. H. Ilarriman. It is the general belief that Gould has fully made up his mind to extend his lines into Oregon and that this latest coup of Ilarriman will not deter him from entering the state by some other route; in fact, it begins to look as if Central Oregon may tret two railroads Instead of one. Whilo railroad building in Oregon is largely confined to the columns of the newspapers at tho present time, the people are going to see a lively demonstration of tho "real thing" within tho uext five years. The growl of the "bear that walks like a man" will not cause much trembling among the nations of tho earth hereafter. Died of Paralysis. F. S. Neff diod of paralysis at the home of his sou-in-law, Harry Hollis tor, in Dallas yesterday morniug at 9:15 o'clock. He had been afflicted with paralysis for several years, this being the third stroke of the disease. Mr. Ncff was born ia Raggersvillo, Ohio, March 23, 1 831V. lie camo to Oregon in March, 18U9.
