The way to build up Dallas ts to pat
ronise Dallas people.
The object of Mr. L. Qerlinger and
other proralneut Oregon capitalists la
reorganizing the business of the
Dallas & Falls City railroad and the
Cone sawmill in Dallascan besummed
up in a single word Development.
Polk county has an untold wealth of
timber, and the development of the
lumber industry will mean much, not
only to Dallas, but fo all the sur
rounding country.
Walter Lyon is worried about the
Observer hoodoo. Never mind; it

The candidacy of Judge H. M. Cake
for the long term as United States
Senator is meeting with marked favor
in the Willamette Valley counties, as
Is also that of Fred W. Mulkey for
the short term. They are clean, abb
men, and, as such, would represent
Oregon at the National Capitol with
credit to their state and honor to
themselves.
Each Is . In the very prime or an
active and useful life, and no two men
could be selected who would lie more
enercretio and loyal In working for
the development of all Oregon. While
both men have, as good citizens, taken
an active interest in the affairs of
state, neither has been prominently
identified with party factions, nor is
either a confirmed office-seeker. So
far as the writer's knowledge extends,
neither has been a candidate for
state or national office before.
It is also to the credit or tnese men
that they have never been connected
in any way with a legislative hold-up
and the disgraceful proceedings Inci
dent thereto. For this reason, the
sincerity of Mr. Cake's declaration
that ho favors the election of United
States Senators by the vote of the
people will not be questioned.
The term of office asked by Mr.
Mulkey will last only a few weeks,
and in the very nature of things he
would not be expected to accomplish
groat results, but the voters may rest
assured that if ho is elected and of
his eloction there seems no doubt he
will give a good account of himself.
Oregon has no truer gentleman or
better citizen than Fred Mulkey.
Mr. CaKe asks for the long term,
and It Is rofreshiug to observe that
his candidacy is meeting with en
thusiastic favor la every portion of
the Btate: The Nation needs such men
at Washington, and needs them as
never before. Had former United
States Senators been composed of men
like Henry Cake, the demand for the
election of Senators by a popular vote
never would have arisen.
The Southern Pacific Company's
new book, "The Road of a Thousnnd
Wonders," is worthy of a place on
the parlor table in any home. It is the
finest publication that has ever been
sent out by a railroad company, and
while gotten up for advertising pur
poses, is a genuine work of art. The
splendid colored views of scenes in
Oregon and California follow each
other in bewildering profusion, and
the descriptive reading matter is not
less interesting than the illustrations.
The book will prove strongly attrac
tive to tourists, and, taken in connec
tion with the extensive advertising
campaign now being conducted iu the
leading magazines, should result in a
large emigration to Oregon this year.
The weather of the last few days
has been somewhat "freakish," but it
really doesn't seem worth while for
the city papers to make such a noise
about it. Twonty-four degrees above
zero may be a little uncomfortable to
Oregonians, who are accustomed to
balmy winter weather, but such
weather In the Eastern states in March
would be considered bracing nnd
pleasant. Calling a storm like that
of Saturday a "blizzard" is extremely
silly, and savors much of yellow
journalism. Any man or woman that
can't stand a half inch of snow and
a temperature of 21 above zero is
tender flower.
