Polft County Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDIT Oil AND PUBLISHER. i'ublljhed Weekly at $1.50 per Strictly in Advance. Year. DVLLAS, OREGON. March 30,1906 The way to build up Dallas ts to pat ronize Dallas people. The death of Mayor Charles Grissen, has caused profound sorrow through out the valley. He worked unceas ingly for the development of Oregon, and was pver found In the forefront of every movement having for its object the upbuilding of his town, county and state. Into this work, he entered with all bis heart and soul. The Oregon Fire Belief Association, the strongest mutual insurance com pany on the Pacific Coast, if not in the entire West, is a child of his brain. He was a poet, scholar and musician, and as a public speaker he had few equals In the state. In his death, Oregon has lost one of its most valuable citizens. ?all$ City note$ Little interest is taken in the ap proaching city election, and a light vote is anticipated. The proposition to assume an indebtedness of $3000 for a rock-crusher is not looked upon with favor, aDd it is the general opinion that the movement will re ceive small support. For councilmen, U. S. Grant in the second ward and J. E. Sibley in the third ward will have no opponents on the ticket. Only in the first ward will there be any con test, where J. G. VanOrsdel and J. C. Uglow are the opposing candidates. The registration books will be closed for the primary election on Tuesday, April 10, at 5 o'clock p. m. Voters who have failed to register should do so at once. It will only require a few minutes time, and will save much worry and annoyance on election day. As the Oregonian aptly remarks: "When there Is plenty of time in which to register, a voter has no right to bother his neighbors on election day with a request that they sign his qualification blank." - Mrs. Cone, of Dallas, is visiting at the Davis home.

Many of these "Joe Folks" will be called, but few will be chosen. Mr. Oeer boasts of the big vote he received for Senator four years ago. He won't do so well this year. The Domocrats can't vote for him in the nominating election. They voted for him four years ago, just to have fun with the llepublicans.

A free excursion train from Falls City brought nearly 100 customers Tues day, and a like excursion from Iude pendence and Monmouth added 150 buyers to the throng on Wednesday! Today an excursion will bo run from Airlie. If any person thought the people of folk county were "broke," this sale has certainly banished such an impression from his mind. Thirty clerks have been kept on the jump for a week, and it is a slow day when the cash sales fall below $1000. At one time last Saturday, over 200 jieople were in the store.

HAWLEY, for Representative I hereby announce myself a candidate for the Republican nomination for the office of Representative from Polk County," subject to the will of the voters at the Direct Primary election to be held on Friday, April 20: If I ain nominated and elected. I shall consider the vote of the Republicans of Polk County for United States Senator as a recommendation which I shall sacredly regard, unless conditions should arise before the next session of the Legislature that would cause them to express their choice for some other candidate. Knowing and feeling deeply that tho prosperity of the Nation depends upon the prosperity of the agricultural and laboring interests, I would urge such legislation as would look to the welfare of the toilers of the farms, mills and factories. No ambitions to serve for myself or any individual, but only to serve the taxpayers and citizens of Tolk County and the State of Oregon. Bosses to the rear, and no dictation but the people's interests. I favor and will support such legislation as will compel 'railroad com panies to furnish cars within a reasonable length of time for all transportation offered. Believing that much of tho money now spent in maintaining four Normal Schools in Oregon could bo used to a much better advantage in extending the scope of usefulness of our public schools, I favor the maintenance of but one good Normal School In the state. State banking law. Taxation of franchises; state coutrol and regulation of insurance companies. Anti-pass law with reduction in railroad fares. A square deal for every man. I am 37 years of age; was born aud raised in Polk County; educated at Bethel, with the exception of two years spent in college; occupation, farmer and sheep man.
