Newspaper Page TextPolk County Observer J. C. IIAYTER, RDITOR AND PUBLISHER Published Weekly at $1.50 per Striftlv in AdVHtiee. Year. DALLAS. OREGON, November 3, 1905 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. C -"""s ALL THREE SHOULD RESIGN With a Senator and a Congressman convicted of crime, and another Con gressman under indictment and awaiting trial, Oregon doesn't stand much of a chance of getting a 40-foot channel from Portland to the sea, o anything else except the "short end of it" for the next two years. Senator Fulton, the only delegate not under a cloud, will doubtless do all he can for the Btate, but he is a new man in Washington and cannot be expected to accomplish nwch alone. It is evident that Messrs. Mitchell Hermann and Williamson are still seeking "personal vindication," and intend to remain In office as long as they possibly can. Whether it is reluctance to part with their offieiul salary, or whether it is fear that their resignations would be viewed as an admission of guilt, that causes them to hang on, is not known. One thing, however, is certain: If these men would step aside and permit the state to have the representation in Congress to which it is entitled, they would stand higher in the estimation of the people of Oregon than they do today. There has been no disposition among the people to persecute these men, and their resignations at this time would not prejudice the mind of any good citizen against them. The prospects for a great era of industrial and and commercial de velopment in Oregon were never brighter than at the present time, but desired results can not be accomplished without a full delegation at the National Capitol. Oregon needs strong men at Washington today as she has never needed them before, and if those disgraced officials still persist in standing in tho way of the state's progress, the people should arise as one man and demand the resignations. The interests of the stato are greater than those of any man, or any set of men, and there is a time when pationco coases to bo a virtue. SERVICE IS SATISFACTORY At a recent meeting of tho McMiun vllle Development Leuguo, the secre tary was instructed to correspond with tho Boards of Trado of the towns along tho line of the Portland-Dallas road, askiug them to co-operate in securing a morning train' out of Portland. McMinnville Telephone Register. While the people of Dallas would bo interested in seeing tho towns on tho lower end of tho Yamhill division so curo a morning train out of Portland, the need of such a train is not sorlously felt hero. Dallas has good train facilities from Portland by way of tho West Side division and motor connection with Independence. It is vastly more importantand convenient to Dallas to have tho present service via Independence than any morning train service that could bo given from the Jefferson Street depot over tho Yamhill division. The motor com pany gives excellent service to tho people of this county, and this local accommodation is worth more to Dallas than any benefit that might be gained by a moruing train direct from Portland. It will require but a moment's thought to convince any citizen of Dallas that it would be bad policy to take any step that would dis courage or cripplo tho present motor service between Dallas and Inde pendence, which service not only gives our people direct connection with the Portland-Corvallis train, but brings Independence, Monmouth and all of the Luckiaiuuto country in close coin inunicatiou with the county seat. A morning train to Dallas over the Yamhill division would seriously injure the passenger business on the noon motor, and would be no con venieuce to people leaving Portland for Dallas early in the morning. ine urgent need or a morning passenger train from Portland to Newborg, Daytou. Whlteson, Hall ton and Sheridan is apparent to all, and it is hoped that the rail iumu company may see us way clear to grant this greatly desired eeiMoe. The people of Dallas, how ever, are satisfied with tho existing arrangement, and it is not probable that any move will be made to induce the company to run another daily train to this place. Oregon leads all states in the in crease in postal receipts for the fiscal year of 1905. The receipts of the Dallas office were $4,155, as against $3,848 in the previous year. Inde pendence shows total receipts to the amount of $3,212, as compared with $2,833 in 1904. Monmouth, a new Presidential office, makes a handsome showing, the total receipts for the year being$l,l79. Huntington, Union and Sumpter are the only offices in the state that show a decrease. The people of Polk county may well be proud of the excellent showing made by the county at the Lewis and Clark Fair. Old Polk stands in the very first rank in the number of medals received. The Observer takes great pleasure in printing a complete list of the winners this week. Farmers and fruit raisers would do well to pre serve this list as a guide for future purchases of prize-winning varieties of grains, grasses, fruit or vegetables. CAN RAISE GOOD APPLES Here is an editorial from the Port land Journal that should be read and re-read by every farmer in the Wil lamette Valley : Oregon can raise the best apples in the world. It not only can, but it does. At least that is the opinion of apple epicures in three continents. These superb and matchless apples are raised in only two or three sections of the state. Hood River has and so far deserves the greatest reputation, though other localities in eastern and southern Oregon may and perhaps already do produce apples of equal excellence. The Willamette valley can produce excellent apples, equal to those of Missouri, Michigan, New York and other apple-fained states. But certain ly many of the apples raised in the Willamette valley and put upon the market here and in other towns are not a credit to this part of the state. If of fair size and tolerable appearance at a glance, the producer can get some thing for them, half or one-third what he could for a box of fine perfect apples, and he would rather take what he can get than to go to the trouble and expense of rehabilitating his orchard and keeping it free of pests. Doubtless many orchardists of the Willametto valley are entitled to be exempted from this criticism. It does not apply to all, but it does apply to many too many. The younger orchards, and tho newer men owning orchards, we hope and believe, are entitled to credit for an improvement that is gradually taking place, but taking the whole region together the improvement scorns sluggish. The Willamette valley in the early days was famed far and wide for its big red apples, but thou the pests had not played havoc with the orchards as tney nave been doing, in many instancos unmolostod, for many years, There ought to be a concerted, deter mined effort, backed by the law, to revive those early conditions in this respect, for with work enough the posts cau be eradicated. Wormy apples ought to be driven out of the market. Oreoron people living in towns are as well entitled to good apples as tho people of New York City or London.
