Newspaper Page TextPolR County Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER, t'ublished Weekly at 11.50 per Year. Strictly in Advance. DALLAS, OREGON, Juj.y C, 1906 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. The changes in the Oregon tax laws proposed by the Tax Commission for enactment next January by the Legis lature are as follows : Taxation of railroads, steam and electric, and of power companies operating in more than one county, on bases of net earnings, capitalized at a fair interest rate. Ta"xaUon"6fba-Slt5,--Kati0pal, state and private, on capital stock, surplus and undivided profits. Reduction of the household exemp tion from $300 to $200. County Treasurer instead of Sheriff to be tax collector. Washington system of certificates of tax delinquency, in the interest of better tax titles. State to receive 10 per cent of all liquor licenses. Tax Commission of five members, to be created, for purpose of assessing public utility corporations and super vising all assessments in the state. Franchises not be directly taxed, but to be taken into consideration by the board in determining the taxable valuation of a public service corpora tion, according to the systems in Michigan and Wisconsin. First assessment under uew method to be made in 1908 and first levy and collection in 1909. The new code will not touch express, telephone, telegraph, sleeping-car and oil companies, which are to be taxed by two initiative laws, enacted by the people at the polls on Jane 4. SCHOOL YEAR CLOSES Bright Students Receive Diplomas From Tenth Grade of Falls City Public School. FALLS CITY, Or., July 2-Last week witnessed the closing of the Falls City public schools. The school authorities of this place are to be con gratulated upon the success of a series of excellent programs, begin ning Thursday evening and ending Saturday night. The first of the series was an enter tainment by the primary and inter mediate departments. This was thoroughly enjoyable and showed painstaking preparation on the part of both teachers and pupils. Friday evening, Wagner's new hall was filled to overflowing with the Falls City public, come to witness the graduation of the tenth grade. The program was the regulation com mencement program, consisting of orations by the graduates.interspersed with musical numbers. The final musical selection was preceded by an address by Supt. C. L. Starx..a-nrt the j presentation of dietenias "by George j CiwD V x !VV- toil.' ill;.'. Ill I iiity to I 'ion !

The one weak point of the Oregon registration law the section permit ting affidavit voting will doubtless be remedied by the next Legislature. It may be that the law will be ho changed as to prohibit anyone voting hereafter who is not registered. The adoption of such an amendment would, it is believed, put a stop to illegal voting altogether. The regis tration books are kept open for many weeks prior to the election, and if a voter fails to register when given ample opportunity to do so, his neglect should betaken as conclusive evidence that he does not desire to exercise his franchise. "The peculiar, suggestive and in appropriate emblem of a frog under an umbrella is one of the numerous wet' signs that should be cut out by Oregonians," rightly suggests the Toledo Leader. "While it rains some in Oregon, it also rains some in other states and in some states it doesn't rain enough. Oregon's rainfall is not a drawback, but a blessing." The newspaper men of this state never did a wiser thing than when they voted to cease using the word "web foot." That nickname cost Oregon millions of dollars. By paying her clearing-house balances in checks instead of coin, Seattle is able to make a big showing; but when it comes to postal receipts, the most reliable standard of all for rating the business importance of a city, she is given fourth rank among the cities of the coast. San Francisco comes first, Portland second, and Los Angeles third. Six years ago Dallas had only one train a day a mixed freight and passenger. It now has eighteen daily trains twelve passengers and six freights. The graduates, numbering seven, delivered their very worthy pro ductions in a manner entirely pleas ing. In both thought and expression they did credit to themselves and to their alma mater. The valedictory was given by H. Elmer Barnhait, whose scholarship deserves special mention. The music, furnished by the Eickreall orchestra, assisted by Prof. Win. Caldwell, of Dallas, and by local talent, was of a high order of excellence and was thoroughly appre ciated. Supt. Stair, in his address to the class, by way of preface, gave ex pression to the hope that the time would soon come when all gradu ations in the Fall3 City public schools would be from the tenth or twelfth grades. He theu proceeded to give one of his usual excellent addresses iuii oi practical common-sense, en riched and bautified with lofty senti ment charging the class to be true to the high ideals set forth in their own orations. Following this address, Chairman George W. Tice, in a few well-chosen words, presented the diplomas. The evening closed with music and con gratulations, and everybody went home well pleased with the commence ment exercises of 1C0G. This article would be incomplete if, before closing, we neglected to say a few words in commendation of Prin cipal H. C. Seymour, who for the past three years has labored so success fully for the improvement and pro gress of the Falls City schools, and nas made sucn a commencement possible. His wide circle of friends regret that this is his last year in a alls city, but, since they cannot hope to keep him, wish hirn abundant success in the larger field into which he goes.

Bryan, who will soon move from Falls City to Portland, entertained a large party of friends from Dallas at their beautiful home on tho Fourth. The day was enjoyed as only a merry crowd of town people who have tired of the strenuous life know how to enjoy an outing. The guests spent the forenoon on the lawn in the shade of the giant firs, aud at noon sat down to an elegant lunch prepared by the ladies of the party. In the afternoon the ball game and other celebration attractions were enjoyed. A display of fireworks on tho lawn at night rounded out the day's pleasures. Mr. and Mis.

Promptly at 10:44 o'clock Tuesday morning, just one minute ahead of schedule time, the new morning passenger train from Portland pulled into tne Dallas aepot. The train was made up of a combination mail and baggage car and two passenger coaches, and was in charge of Con ductor Guy. Bill Batman, one of the oldest engineers in the employ of the Southern Pacific Company, was at the throttle. The coachea were well filled when the train left Jefferson street, and a goodly number of the passengers came through to Dallas. rne rrain win tiereatter arrive in Dallas at 10:45 a. m one hour earlier than was first announced. This change will be greatly appreciated by patrons of the road, as connection will be made with the West Side passenger train at McMinnville, thus accommo dating a large number of people be tween that city and Portland. The new train is not carrying mail at present, but it is understood that the Department will arrange for the morning service within the next two weeks. W. R. Ellis, the local agent for tne Oregonian, is already re ceiving the paper on the morning train. The change in the delivery of the paper to an earlier hour is greatly appreciated by the subscribers, and an increased subscription list is sure to result. The morning passenger, mail and express service over the Yamhill division fills a long-felt want, and it is believed that the new train will re ceive liberal patronage as soon as the schedule becomes familiar to the traveling public.
