Connection With Corvallls.
J. M. Staats, superintendent of con
struction of the IndependentTelephone
System between Dallas and Corvallis,
was in town Saturday. He is work
ing to secure a commercial wire be
tween these two points, and is meeting
with hearty encouragement in his
efforts. Corvallis and Dallas have
had mutual telephone connection
through party wires for several years,
but the demand for a purely com
mercial wire is now becoming of great
importance. The expense of the im
proved service will be small, as the
poles are already up. Mr. Staats
found the people of Dallas wide awake
to the necessity of the improvement,
and received hearty promises of
assistance in the enterprise.

for STATE TREASURER.
How to Reduce Your Taxes.
Mr. Carter says : "Oregon has never
received any of the interest paid od
its money. If elected State Treasurer,
I will pay over to the state every
dollar of interest earned on its funds
whether a law be passed requiring me
to do so or not This will result in a
saving to the taxpayers of this state of
from $15,000 to 120,000 per annum.
"I am not the candidate of any
clique, faction, organization orsociety.
Eastern Oregon. Multnomah county
and the northern section of the state
have many candidates for U. S
Senator and for the other state and
district offices-and it is a reasonable
claim that Southern Oregon isentiUed
to this place on the ticket"

PR0HIS NAME TICKET
Pass Resolutions Opposing Proposed
Amendment to Local Option
Law.
Prohibitionists of Polk county to
the number of 16 met in the court
house Saturday and nominated a
county ticket. V. P. Miller presided
over the deliberations of the meeting,
and W. P. Dyke was elected secretary.
Resolutions expressing disapproval
of the proposed amendment to the
local option law were -passed, and
after a lengthy discussion it was de
cided to put out a county ticket.
Dr. C. C. Poling, O. H. Cobb and
H. S. Butz, the committee appointed to
select candidates for county officers,
reported the following ticket :
Representative Rev. D. M, Metzger,
of Dallas.
Sheriff A. N. Poole, of Monmouth.
Clerk W. P. Miller, of Dallas.
Treasurer Elder A. H. Dodd, of
Falls City.
Commissioner J. R. Fawk, of
Rickreall.
Assessor Taylor Halleck, of Mon
mouth. The following resolutions were
adopted by a unanimous vote :
Resolved, That the licensed saloon
is the greatest evil iu America today,
and that we declare ourselves un
alterably opposed to the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage.
Resolved, That we favor the election
of United States Senators by direct
vote of the people.
Resolved, That we stand for law en
forcement and believe that all laws
WOULD BAR OUT TRUSTS
"Place All Such Combinations of
Capital Under Ban of Law, '
says H. M. Cake.
"Every combination of capital known
as a trust should be placed under the
ban of the law ; not only should trust
corporations themselves be barred
from doing business, but the in
dividuals responsible for the combi
nations should be punished as pro
vided by law." says H. M. Cake,
candidate for United States Senator.
There is probably no man in the
state of Oregon more pronounced in
his opinions upon this subject than
Mr. Cake, as evidenced by his actions
and past utterances.
He is not the attorney for, is not
interested in, nor does he represent,
directly or indirectly, any trust.
He believes in the absolute freedom
of competition in all lines of business
the preservation of the equal rights
of the entire citizenship of the country
free from interference by combinations
of capital.
Mr. Cake is a firm believer in the
right of the American workingman to
protect himself by means of labor
organizations ngainst the oppressions
of organized capital.
The great common people of the
country can depend upon it that Mr.
Cake is friendly to their interests, for
he is one of the common people.
He is friendly to every section and
Interest of the state, and if elected to
the Senate, will do everything he can
for the development and prosperity of
all Oregon.

of its privileges to all political parties.
Resolved. That we favor the Local
Option Law as It now stands on the
statute books and are unalterably op

RALPH W. HOYT
FOR STATE TREASURER
The administration of the affairs of
the treasurshiD of the state ia sought
by Ralph W. Hoyt of Portland, who,
it appears, is leading in the race for
the nomination. He is fitted by a
long and successive conservative
caieer as a banker for the guardian
ship of the funds of the state, and his
record has never been regarded other
than the very best. He believes that
the tax funds should be impartially
divided among the different banks in
each county and that one institution
hould not be favored to the exclusloa
of all others. This policy was first
instituted by him when he was elected
treasurer of Multnomah county, and
In that responsible post he acquitted
himself with entire satisfaction to all
concerned. He is a staunch Republi
can, and by bis unselfish devotion to
party principles and the fact that he
has never sought for rewards at the
hands of the voters of the state, he
has won the esteem of men of influence
regardless of their affllliations.
Caution Take Noticel
On the primary election ballot there
will be two United States Senators to
be voted for one to fill the vacancy
for the short term, and one for the
long term. Don't get them confused.
Mr. Fred W. Mulkey is a candidate to
fill the vacancy (for the short term
only.)

The
Way
The tissues of the throat are
inflamed and irritated; you
cough, and there is more irrita
tion more coughing. You take
a cough mixture and it eases the
irritation for a while. You take
SCOTTS
EMULSION
and it cures the cold. That's
what is necessary. 1 1 soothes the
throat because it reduces the
irritation ; cures the cold because
it drives out the inflammation;
builds up the weakened tissues
because it nourishes them back
to their natural strength. That's
how Scott's Emulsion deals with
a sore throat, a cough, a cold,
or bronchitis.

Made from Pute Grape Cream of Tartar
In baking powder Royal is the standard, the
powder of highest reputation; found by the
United States Government tests of greatest
strength and purity.
It renders the food more healthful and palat
able and is most economical in practical use.
Housekeepers are sometimes importuned to
buy alum powders because they are "cheap."
Yet some of the cheapest made powders are sold
to consumers at the highest price.
Housekeepers should stop and think. Is it
not better to buy the Royal and take no chances
the powder whose goodness and honesty are never
questioned?
Is it economy to spoil your digestion by an
alum-phosphate or other adultcred powder to
save a few pennies ?

J. H. FLOWER
FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
In J. H. Flower, the people of Polk
county have a candidate for the
Legislature who is not controlled by
any ring or faction. He has lived in
Oregon 15 years and in Polk county
over four years. He is a Republican
straight from principle. He takes an
active interest in all public questions
and states his position fearlessly. Mr.
Flower is a good speaker, and is well
qualified by education and experience
to represent Polk county iu the next
Legislature. He worked his way, un
aided, through the law department of
Columbia college of New York, his
native city, and has met with success
in his practice. He favors among
other things, taxing franchises; nine
months' school for all districts, thus
giving the child of the farmer the
same advantages as those of the town
resident, aud is opposed to four normal
schools. If elected, he will faithfully
and fairly represent Polk county and
do all in his power for the benefit of
the state. A vote for J. II. Flower will
be a vote for a courageous, honest and
able man.
