Polk County Observer J. C. IIAYTER, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER. Published Weekly at $1.50 per Stricilv in AdVBtine. Year. DALLAS, OREUOX. Jui.Y Hi, 1900 The way to build up Dallas ts to pat ronize Dallas people. Salem to Dallas by rail some time this century, Salem Journal. Xot if Salem has to put up the coin to get the road. The farmers who fed their grass and votch and clover to the cows and sold their milk to the creameries and cheese factories are not worrying i about the low price of hay this year. SOURCE OF FUTURE WEALTH. The day is coming when the foot hill country between Dallas and the Coast mountains will be one of the garden spots of the West. Stock raising, dairying, gardening and fruitraising are the industries that are destined to make this section of Polk county rival in wealth and im portance the vast timber belt of the Coast Range and the broad and fertile bop and grain fields of the valleys of the LaCreole, Luck ia mute, Willamette, and Yamhill rivers. The development along the lines indicated will not be confined to the foothill country, but will be pushed farther and farther to the west as the mountain valleys are stripped of their wealth of timber. Oregon has noj more productive soil than that found in the numerous mountain valleys on the headwaters of Mill Creek, Salmon River, the LaCreole, Luckiamute and Siletz. Nor is this fertility confined to the valleys alone. Many of the mountain sides, now covered with a dense growth of timber, are adapted to the growth of truit and, when cleared, will produce in abundance all varieties of tree fruits and berries. The productiveness of the mountain soil has already been demonstrated in the vicinity of the thriving town of Falls City. Here Truit, berries-and vegetables of all varieties are grown in abundance, and the acreage is being largely increased each year. The apples grown on the mountain sides are free from insect pests, and cannot be surpassed for flavor and color. Prunes and cherries also thrive, and other small fruits and berries are grown to perfection. That this mountain soil is especially adapted to the successful production of straw berries has been demonstrated by T. D. Hollowell, who, from a small beginning a few years ago, is now en gaged in the industry on a large scale, The berries grown by Mr. Hollowell are rully equal in every respect to those produced in the Hood River valley, which means that for size and flavor they cannot be surpassed. The results achieved in fruit and vegetable raising on' the foothill and mountain laud around Falls City prove beyond question that no part of Oregon is better adapted to horti cultural pursuits. The qualities found In the soil around Falls City .are found in ail of the mountainous region of Polk county. The Ouserver offers the prediction that inside of the next ten years the foothills of Western Polk will have been transformed into a paradise of orchards, gardens and clover meadows, supporting thousands of people, and contributing no less to the wealth and prosperity of the county than all the broad acres of grain and hops and the vast timber industry combined. George C. Brownell never raised half the political h 1 in Oregon politics that another gentleman down ClacKamas way has produced. Salem Journal. No; but George's fine work In the Oregon Legislature made it possible forthe otherClackamas county" gentle man to raise the greater part of the article referred to. Pathologists say an old sick cow is good food for Americans, if the ! "sick" chunks are cut out, and that! the balance of the flesh is not danger-1 ous to human health. The horse editor is not squeamish but he suggests that whether It is injurious to health or not it i3 most deucedly offensive to decency, and utterly disgusting to think about. Secretary Wilson should be fed on diseased meat until he changes his rulings. Salem Journal. ?all$ City Hote$ CUT OUT THE GRAFT. Representative Coffey is to bo con gratulated on his determination to do his utmost to uproot the petty grafts which have disgraced every session of the Legislature. The ridiculously large stationery bills for the use of the members, the perquisites in the firm of stationery, penknives, fine paper-cutters, scissors and other plunder of this description has been carried to such a ridiculous length as to make it shameful in the eyes of every decent beholder. Men who in their private capacity would not for a moment tolerate such courses, much loss mix up in them, not only permit but participate in them in their legis lative capacity, and help to set an ex ample and exercise a bad moral influence on the whole state. Far too many clerks are employed. On one pretext or another they draw pay from the state without pretense of perform ing any service. Political hacks, men with a pull of one kind or another, Hock to Salem overy session, confident that they will receive easy employ ment at remunerative pay during the forty days the lawmakers are at work, and they are rarely disappointed. Indeed, the time has come when the members should look this matter squarely in the- face and put it on a practical basis, such as it would bo forced to occupy were the matter of private iustead of public concern. Reform is the order of the day at Washington ; why should it not be at Salem? Evening Telegram. E. Flory was in Dallas, Saturday. Josh Talbott was in Dallas, Monday. R. E.

Excellent Water System Saves the Johnson Milling Plant From Total Destruction. Fire broke out in the Johnson saw mill yesterday, at noon, and for a few minutes the building was threatened with destruction. The origin of the fire is doubtful but is thought to have been caused by sparks from a boring iron falling into some shavings and waste and which quickly spread to tho roof. The excellent water system at the mill was promptly brought into use and the blaze soon extinguished with only a nominal damage as the result. The mill people are to be con gratulated on their excellent system for if they had been compelled to de pend upon the city department for assistance, before help had arrived their property would have been totally destroyed.
