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

CS, president of the board.
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.

all who know her. Mr. Flood is a
very successful young man on the
Southern Taciflc railroad. The happy
couple have the best wishes of manj-friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. 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. Bryan
have many friends in Dallas, and
their departure from Polk county will
bo deeply regretted.
The guests were : Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Uglow, Dr. and Mrs. II. L. Toney,
Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Hayter, Mr. and

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.
