Polk County Observer J. C HATTER, EDITOR A.SD PUBLISHER, Publiherl Weekly at 11.50 per Strictly in Advance. Year. DALLAS, OREGON, OCTOBER 20, 1905 The way to build up Dallas is to pal- ronize Dallas people. The Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition is no more. The big Fair came to an end at 12 o'clock Saturday night with exercises appropriate to the occasion. The attendance on the closing day exceeded all expectations 56.8G0 people passing through the turnstiles between morning and mid nltrht. The same orderly and quiet behavior that had prevailed through out the entire Fair period character lzed the closing scenes, and no aets of rowdyism occurrpd to mar the solemnity of the hour. As the final "Good Night" wa3 flashed out, the big crowd turned slowly toward the gates, pausing reluctantly to take a farewell look at the great buildings that have been so universally admired by visitors from all parts of the world Then came the booming of cannons in a final salute, and the most sue cessful fair In the history of the world was at an end. Volumes might be written in praise of the Portland Exposition, and even then the story of Its success would not bo told. Viewed from any standpoint, financial, commercial or artistic, it has far surpassed the expectations of Its most sanguine supporters. Con sidering the comparatively sparse population of the Pacific Coast states, from which the chief support of the enterprise was drawn, the figures representing the total attendance seem almost impossible of belief. When the Exposition was opened in June, no one predicted a total attendance of more than 1,500,000, and many people placed their estimates at less than 1,000,000. The total attendance was 2.654.335. It will not be difficult to remember those figures 1 Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha fade into insignlfl cance, population of surrounding territory considered, when one con templates the proud record m ado by the Portland show. It Is hardly necessary to add that this success was made possible only by the loyal and enthusiastic support of the people of the en tiro Pacific Coast region, the generous recognition extended by the Government, and the neighborly assistance of the great states east of tho Rocky Mountains. The Lewis and Clark Fair, though far removed from the center of wealth and population in tho United States, was In every respect National in its Bcope and character. Second only to the loyal support of the people of Oregon was that accorded by the enterprising people of Wash ington, California and Idaho. Port land pointed the way, and our Bister states wero quick to grasp the oppor tunity afforded to bring their resources and advantages to the attention of the Eastern horaeseeker and investor. It Is pleasing to reflect that our sister Btatos will reap almost as great bene fits from tho Fair as will Oregon her self, as a reward for their enterprise and co-operation. The Lewis and Clark Fair was ably managed, and no cry of graft has been raised against any official con nected with it. President Goodo, Secretary Reed and all other officers have sorved tho stockholders faith fully and efficiently, while President Myers and his assistant state com missioners have guarded well the Interests of tho taxpayers of Oregon. Tho Lewis and Clark Fair is one of tho few great National expositions that have paid all expenses and left a cash balance iu tho treasury. There Is no denying the fact that tho Fair has made money scarcer In tho country towns than it otherwise would have beeu, and that the busi ness men of Portland have profited accordingly. But such is tho In evitable result wherever great Fairs are held, and it is only reasonable to believe that such a condition of affuirs will be but temporary. The adver tlslng that Oregou has received through the Lewis and Clark Fair is greater than all the publicity the state has received in tho past from all sources combined, and the good re suits that will surely follow will be of lasting benefit to every portion of the state. WANT NONE OF THEM. The Republicans of Oregon, in peace conference assembled, expressed their disapproval of the mischievous con stitutional amendments proposed by W. S. U'Ren et al in no uncertain terms. The resolutions relating to these amendment?, passed by a unani mous vote, are as follows : "Resolved. That the State of Oregon should maintain its reputation for conservatism and reliability; that hasty and half-baked laws not only injure at home, but give the state an unenviable reputation, and drive from it the investor and the settler. That it Is the sense of this assemblage that the Republicans of Oregon should be on their guard against fantastic and peculiar proposals for legislation under the initiative amendment to the constitution, especially as various schemes under the guise of remedial legislation are likely to be promul gated in the interest of the minority parties. "First Such a proposal is that for ousting public officers by vote during their terms of office. A public officer rarely is elected without the opposition of a considerable minority of the voters, which can readily be increased to a majority in times of publicexcite ment; and if the tenure of office is to be made uncertain and the office is likely to be vacated with temporary changes of public sentime.nt, the best pcrS'ins cannot be secured fcr public office, nor will officers dare to act with courage and independence. "Second The proposal to submit to the public, underthe initiative method a scheme for giving members of minority parties representation in public office, without being chosen by a plurality of votes cast at public elections, should not have the counte nance of Republicans. The principle that 'majority rules' has had trial in this country since before the creation of the Government of the United States, and has proved to be just and fair, and to work well in practice. The attempt of those interested to force themselves into office by use of the initiative amendment to the constitu tion should be discouraged and voted down." . Biliousness, dyspasia, loss of appetite, disturbed sleep, nervousness, headache, gidiiiness and drowsiness, wind and pain or fullness of the stomach after meals, cold chills and flushings of heat, short ness of breath these are the blank cheques of physical bankruptcy. The man who suffers from these dis orders and neglects them will soon be in the relentless grasp of some fatal disease. If he is naturally narrow chesti and shallow lunged, it will probably be con sumption; if his father or mother died of paralysis or some nervous trouble, it will probably be nervous exhaustion or pros tration, or even insanity; if there is a taint in the family blood, it will bo blood or skin disease; if he lives in a new or a low, swampy country, it will be malaria; if he lives a life of exposure, it may be rheumatism. There is one safe course for a man to follow who finds himself 'out of sorts" and suffering from the symptoms described. It is to resort to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This medi cine makes the appetite keen, corrects all disorders of the digestion, renders assimi lation perfect, invigorates tho liver, puri fies and enriches the blood and builds firm, healthy flesh and nerve tissue. It cures almost all diseases that result from -.sufficient or improper nourishment of the brain and nerves. Bronchial, throat, and even lung affections, when not too far advanced, readily yield to it. a y A man or woman woo neglects (:, i.:?. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pel U:? rare constipation.

I jest arrove from Portland whore went to tho Harmony meeting and I'm fuller of Harmony nor a billy goat. It was a grate meeting. It was maid up of 3 kinds of people and 2 kinds of folks. First they was a big croud of peeple what has offices. Then they was another big lot who wants offices and a right smart sprinklin' of fellers what has a office but wants better one, and then there was me and a Tew otlier private folks and Mrs. Woodpekker, whatdiskivvered Roose velt, but we all wisht he'd seen her first. Some of the fellers went with a brick in one pocket and a rock in another and a nife up thair sleave, W. Twoos, who has a darned good office but has a eye on Dinger Her maun s iot, no trun a rock at tne mouth of the Columbia and the i of ajEarhart, has gone to Portland, on her brick at Celilo then dru his nife on Portland afore he got sot on. Mr. uaKer, wno is looKin Hardest ror a big cargo of Harmony, read a beauti ful speach tellin'of us that Oregon is tho banner republican state (tremend us yells) wicli must bo pleas! n' to the democrats who ha3 most of the best offices. Rite In Portland I was told to movo on by a democrat policeman nircu ny a democrat mayor, and a democrat depity workin' for a demo crat sherlf made mo stop spittin ; and if I'd got arrested I'd bin prosicutid by a democrat prosicutor befoar a democrat judge, and if I'd a landed in ail IM a had to go to a democrat gov'nor to git out o' hock. Sol says to Mr. Baker says I lot s giye the democrats tho Harmony and us take the offices, but he said if we'd all git lu in full of Harmony wo could git down on our nees every nito aud thank God wo lived iu a state where a mocrat is without hope. But I says s'posin' we send Mr. Heeney a few big doses of Harmony, for if he keeps on iu his wicked ways there wont be enuffof us republicans out o' jail to fill the offices. Jest then a feller wunk at me and I follered him around the corner when ho drew a bottle on mo. Says he you'd better try about three fingers of this kind o' Harmony, like the democrats use. Then I learned what a good thing real Harmony Is. But I misdoubt that mebbe Baker has et the perscriptions git mixed and is dosin' us out o' the wrong battle.
