The current number of the Portland
Board of Trade Journal contains a
concise and well-written article de
scriptive of Polk county. No charge
was made for the publication, the
Portland commercial body asking
nothing more than the necessary copy
and a cut representing some import
ant industry of the county. The
article was written by H. G. Campbell,
the well-known real estate dealer of
Dallas, and the picture, a hop yard
scene, was furnished by the Observer
office. The full text of the description
of the county is as follows :
"Polk County is situated in the very
heart of the far-famed Willamette
Valley. It is about 30 miles long,
east and west, and about 25 miles wide,
north and south."
"Old Polk, as the county is famil
iarly called, Is known as the Blue Rib
bon County of the State, which title
has been won by hard competition as
an exhibitor of agricultural and horti
cultural products at our State Fairs.
It produces all kinds of grain, fruit,
vegetables and grasses without irri
gation. It holds the Gold Medal for
the finest hops in the world, which
was won at the Paris Exposition.
"This county is largely an agri
cultural, horticultural and stock rais
ing county, fine for dairying, also for
raising fine blooded stock of either
horses, cattle, sheep, goats or hogs,
and is fast gaining a distinction for
being one of the best places in the
world for rearing the largest and best
of every class of stock. This is shown
by the awards carried off by our
breeders at recent fairs in competition
with those of other states, which is all
accounted for on account of our perfect
climate, which enables the stock to
grow the whole year, being mild in
winter and cool in summer, with green
grass the whole year for them to feed
upon, producing large, well developed
animals.
"Polk County produces wheat, oats,
barley, rye, clover, alfalfa, timothy,
red-top, blue-grass, and many other
varieties of grains and grasses ; also,
for feed, vetch, rape, beets and carrots,
as well as all varieties of garden truck
in great prof usion. Polk County pro
duces in great quantities hay, hops,
fruit, potatoes, wheat, oats, barley,
rye, lumber, wool and mohair, besidee
many other products, such as poultry
and eggs too numerous to mention.
"Polk County is considered the bau-
ner Angora goal county of the state,
and holds high awards for the longest
fleeces and the finest textures of
mohair and wool. The climate being
mild in tho winter, the fleece continues
to grow and has gained for the county
that reputation so envied by other
states. Polk County has the distinc
tion of being the only place In the
world that holds an exclusive annual
Angora Goat Fair.
"It has the finest markets in the
world. Within three hours from the
time the produce is started from the
farm, it can bo loaded in cars or
steamer for any place in the West ; for
Alaska, which is a world of Itself ; for
the Philippine Islands, with a popu
lation of millions; for China, Japan,
or the Hawaiian Islands.
'The western one-third of this county
is covered with as fine timber as there
is In the world, which is just being
opened up by railroads and sawmills.
This will make work; it will make
markets and it will build up the
county.
'Polk County has fine public schools
and good church facilities. The
county is entirely out of debt, and has
the finest courthouse in the Willamette
Valley."

CREATED GOOD IMPRESSION
Dallas Banner Won Attention and
Favorable Comment of Port
land Business Men.
J. C. Hayter, secretary of the Dallas
Board of Trade, is in receipt of a
greatly-prized letter from Tom
Richardson, secretary of the Portland
Commercial Club, iu which the appre
ciation of the recent reception of the
Portland business men by the people
of Dallas is expressed as follows:
"Next to our yell, "Oregon United,"
tho motto displayed at your station,
'Dallas, the Town That Does Things,'
is perhaps more strongly impressed
upon the minds of the Portland ex
cursionists than any similar feature
of the trip ; and when we went down
town and saw your superb water
service, up-to-date stores, and the
general well-kept appearance of your
city, we wero fully convinced of the
truth of the legend. Your newspaper
office strengthened this impression.
' On behalf or each and every mem
ber of our party, I want to express
our sincere appreciation of the cordial
and hospitable reception accorded us
at Dallas."

LOWER COURT REVERSED
Chinese Restaurant Keeper Wins His
Suit Against City of Inde.
pendence.
The Supreme Court of Oreflon on '
Monday last handed down an opinion
in the case of Wong Sing, appellant,
vs. City of Independence and W, O.
Sharman as recorder, respondents, in
which the judgment of the Circuit
Court for Polk County was reversed
and a decision rendered in favor of
the appellant. Tho opinion of the
Court was written by Judge Moore.
The case was originally instituted
by tho City of Independence in the
Recorder's court of that city against
Wong Sing, a Chinese restaurant
keeper, on a charge of selling intoxi
cating liquors without a license. The
complaint accused the Chinaman with
having sold spirituous ormaltliquors
in the City of Independence without a
license. The'namo of the purchaser
of the intoxicating liquors was not
alleged in the complaint, nor was
there any statement as to the quantity
of liquor sold.
The defendant In the proceeding in
tho Recorder's court demurred to the
complaint on the grounds that more
than one offense was attempted to be
charged In the complaint, and that
the complaint did not state facts suffi
cient to constitute a crime. The Re
corder disallowed the demurrer, and .
upon trial, convicted the defendant
and sentenced him to pay a fine and
costs.
Tho defendant then sued out a writ
of review in theCircuit Court, alleging
numerous defects in tho complaint
filed in the Recorder's Court, and the
case was afterwards tried before Judge
Galloway, who, at the last May term
of the Circuit Court, dismissed tho re
view proceeding and affirmed the
judgment of conviction in the Re
corder's Court. The Circuit Judge
held that the charter aud ordinances
of the city conferred upon the China
man the right to appeal and that bo
long as this right existed the case
could not be heard on a writ of review.
The Supreme Court in reversing the
judgment of the lower Court holds
that no right to appeal from a judg
ment of tho Recorder's court is given
by the charter of Independence, and
that the ordinance of the city which
attempts to confer the right to appeal
is void as beyoud the power of the
council to. enact. Considering the
compluint In the Recorder's court, the
Supreme Court decides that a com
plaint chargingthe sale of "spirituous
or malt" liquors is defective underthe
statute, because tho words "spirituous"
and "malt" are not synonymous, and
that the compluint therefore charges
the commission of more than one
offense.
The Court further holds that the
ommlssion to allege the quantity of
liquor sold Is fatal to the complaint,
for the reason that by the ordinance
under which tho appellant was con
victed, it is only made an offense to
sell intoxicating liquors in less quan
tities than one gallon.
On the question of whether the name
of tho alleged purchaser should be
stated, the Court does not express an
opinion, but says: "The conclusion
reached upon this question by the
Courts of last resort are variant; but,
as the complaint in the case at bar Is
so defective in other respects, we do
not deem it necessary to decide the
question presented. "
The judgment of the Circuit Court
is reversed and the case is sent back,
with directions to dismiss the judg
ment of the Recorder's court.
Less Frills Needed.
If Oregon educators, when outlining
courses of study forthe public schools,
would cut out some of the frills and
put more time on the rudiments, "last
day" essays would show up with a
larger .-r cent of the words spelled
correctly, and the end of more
sentences would 15 designated by
periods. Newberg Graphic
