DALLAS, OREGON, JUNK 8, 19C6 The way to build up Dallas ts to pat ronize Dallas people. FOR A HIGH SCHOOL. The widespread sentiment iu Dallas in favor of a public High School will probably take definite shape at the annual school meeting one week from next Monday, when it is believed the voters will authorize the school board to add at least two, and possibly three grades, to the present public school course. The matter of providing a suitable building to accommodate the increased number of pupils that the extra grades would add, will, in all probability, be considered at that time. The sentiment in favor of a good High School in Dallas has been steadily growing for many years, and such an Institution is now looked up on as a public necessity. It is doubt ful if a dozen voters could be found in the district who would oppose such an Institution for the free education of the boys and girls of Dallas in the higher branches of study. Nor could any move be made that would add more to the growth and prosperity of Polk's county seat town than the location of such an institution of higher education in the district. Dallas already has an excellent public school, where nine grades are taught by -a corps of competent in structors. The work of this school is thorough and efficient as far as it goes, but there is a general feeling among the parents of the district that It does not go far enough. The people feel that a town of the size and com mercial importance of Dallas should maintain a higher and better free in stitution for the training of the boys and girls of the county. Dallas Is the proper pluce for a first-class high school, as it is centrally located and would draw support from all parts of the county. ' The business men and property owners of Dallas could not make a better move than to secure tho estab lishment of a first-class High School In the city. It would mean a steadily Increasing population from the day it was opened, and would prove an in valuable factor in advancing the prosperity of the town. Dallas is already one of the important manu facturing centers of Western Oregon, and Its population Is destined to be made up largely of the laborlngclass. These are honest, hard-working people who depend upon their daily wages for a livelihood, and few, if any, of them are able to give their children a college education. While these parents are anxious to give their children a good start la the world, only a email number are able to give their boys and girls any educational advantages beyond the present rudimentary course. With a good free High School lu Dallas, the children of the poor would be given equal educational ad vantages with those of the rich, and the result would bo to the best interest of all. Publio high schools are rapidly growing In favor in Oregon, for the reason that a large per contage of tho pupils now attending college have not advanced beyond the common school studies, and the tuition and incidental expenses of these studonts is a much heavier burden on the parents than their share of the taxes would bo in maintaining a good free HighSchojl. There will always be room for the colleges that are doing strictly col legiate work, and such institutions need have no fear of being injured by the growth of the high school move ment. The high school hus Its place in the educational world, and no town of Importance should be without one. With the establishment of a good twelve-grade school, free to all the boys and girls of Dallas, the people of the district will have taken an im portant step In the right direction, and it now seems certain that the voters will authorize this greatly- needed improvement In the public school system. at the meeting to bo held on Monday, June 18. He would be a mighty hard man to please who cannot get a grain of comfort somewhere along the line in Monday'selection returns. The Demo crats can be thankful that they got their Governor; the Republicans should feel jubilant over the election of the remainder of .the State ticket, the Legislature, and a United States Senator; the Prohis should rejoice that it was no worse than it was, and the Socialists should bethankfu) that they were permitted to vote at all. They are talking or holding an apple show In Dallas this year. The project is a good one. Some very handsome apples are raised in the vicinity of Dallas and the holding of apple shows would tend to bring ubout the production of more such apples as well as of calling attention to those now raised. Rural Northwest. The spectacular fight for the office of Sheriff of Multnomah county re sulted in the election of Robert Stevens by a plurality of 5 votes. Stevens took the oath of office as soon as the count was completed. Sheriff Word announces that he will contest the election of his opponent if the official count shall show Stevens still in the lead. Ueorge U. crowneu, who did more than any other one man to fasten the Populistic initiative and referendum upon the fair State of Oregon, was de feated for re-election in Clackamas county, Monday, by a majority of nearly 600 votes. It is the beginning of the end. Statement No. 1 was not an issue in Polk county. It Is doubtful If one voter in a hundred even gave it a thought when voting for the candi dates for the Legislature. Oregon is undoubtedly the only state in the Union where one Demo crat can and does uniformly outvote three Republicans, sagely remarks the Oregon ian. The voters must have taken Gov ernor Chamberlain at his word whon he suid that the Governor and the Legislature should be of opposite politics. Dr. McCallon was elected In spite of the fact that he failed to heed Editor Lyon's repeated "warnings." Good people shouldn't resort to dirt. Dirt seldom wins, especially here in Polk county.

Hayter drove out to the Liberty schoolhouse Wednesday night and held a meeting with the farmers of that neighborhood in the Interest of the Dallas cheese factory, Mr. Mclntyre explained the best methods of handling milk, and pointod out the many advantages a cheese factory has over a creamery as a source of profit to the farmers. George McBce, who presided over the meeting, made an excellent talk in favor of the industry. Many questions were asked and answered, and a lively interest was manifested in the new factory. The meeting will prob ably result in a milk route being established in the hill country west of Dallas. Similar meetings will bo held at Oakdalo, Rickreall, and other points in the near future.

There was much Interest manifested, and women were at tho polls with literature on woman suffrage to dis tribute. . The result of the recent election proved the truth of the Obskuvek's contention that Statement No. l was not an issue in Polk county. Ihere are some lies that are too contemptible to notico, especially when they come from those who pose as God-fearing men and teachers of morality. Suver went Democratic as usual.
