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.

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.

Mr. Nelson is a dairyman and stock
raiser of many years' experience, and
is looking for a ranch adapted to this

who have lived in a dairy country, he
realizes the importance of creameries
and cheese factories to a community
and saye that the farmers of Polk
county should not only support the
creameries already established, but
should encourage the building of
others. He says that if suitable land
can be secured, fully 25 families will
come from British Columbia to
western Polk county to make their
homes.

FIRE IN SAWMILL.
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.
