DALLAS, OREGON, Skitkmbkr 14. 1900 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. "Every dollar I have spent iQ ad vertising in the newspapers, has paid mo ten dollars in return." Thisstate- ment was made to the writer by Samuel Orr, of Rickreall, Monday. "There is scarcely ever a time when there is not a market for everything a farmer has to sell," he continued, "but sometimes the difficulty is to find a buyer. A small local in the county newspapers will usually accomplish the desired result. I know of no cheaper or better means of bring buyer and seller together." Mr. Orr speaks from experience gained in twenty years of practical farming, during which time he made liberal uso of printer's ink in letting the public know what he had to sell or what he desired to buy. Mr. Orr's experience is the experience of hundreds of other Tolk county farmers who have spent money in advertising in the local papers and found it a paying investment. Every newspaper man in Oregon should attend the meeting of the State Press Association in Newport one week from tomorrow. An excellent program is being prepared, and many subjects of importance to Oregon pub lishers and printers will come up for discussion. The Oregon State Press Association can be made power for good, if every newspaper man in the stato will only lend a helping hand. A large attendance at the Newport meeting is already assured, and it Is hoped that every publisher in Oregon will get in lino and help boost f r the "good of the order." A Portland young man drawing a salary of $ 80 a month has been spend ing $2000 a month on automobiles, slow horses and fast women, and now finds himself greasing the jail bars with his nose on a charge of robbing his employers of about $15,000. Like thousands of young men before him ho followed tho primrose path straight to tho prison cell, never pausing in his wild career until it was too late to turnback. One cannot help wonder ing, however, what sort of business men his employers were, that he could steal such vast sums each month for nearly a year without getting caught at it. Those much overworked and greatly underpaid individuals, tho Rural Mail Carriers, held their annual meet ing in Dallas this week discussing matters or mutual interest. The boys are making an effort to send a dele gate from this stato to Washington to present their claims for bettor pay and more liberal troatmont at the hands of Congress and the rostofflce Department. Theyurgo every rural carrier in tho county to bo present at tho meeting soon to be called by their President. The Albany Democrat rightly says that payrolls make a city. There can bo no permanent prosperity in any city unless steady employment is pro vided for its laboring men. Dallas has grown and prosiered for tho reason that its business men havo never overlooked an opportunity to secure an industry that would increaso tho monthly payroll. As tho town has grown in population aud commer cial importance, tho prosperity of tho surrounding country has followed as a natural consequence "If thero were no hop contracts in this state at tho present time, our our people would bo experiencing tho greatest era of prosperity ever known in Oregon's history," says Editor Billy Clarke of the Oervais Star. "Thero will bo plenty of booze," and "wo'ro going to havo a h lof a time" has borno fruit In ono hop yard. Polk county is still to bo heard from in tho lino of a hop yard murder. Salem Journal. Hon. Walter L. Tooze, of Woodbtirn, is the new presidont of tho Willamette Valley Development League Walter Lyon, of Independence, was re-elected secretary. Both good men. The Willamette Valley Company has added lloseburg to tho already long list of Oregon towns in which it owns electric light plants. Eruptions The only way to get. rid of pimples and other erup tions is to cleanse the blood, improve the digestion, stim ulate the kidneys, liver and skin. The medicine to take is Ho o q's Sarsaparilla Which has cured thousands. RURAL CARRIERS MEET. Polk County Association Holds 6ion in Dallas and Elects Otficers.

Coad, of Dallas, were also highly appreciated. Two new names were added to the member ship roll.

Probably every yard in Polk county has a slight touch of mold, and a few days of damp weather would cause tho lice to multiply rapidly and untold dam ago would ensue. The hops nlready picked in the Dallas district are strictly choice. Slow progress is being made in harvesting tho crop, owing to a general scarcity of pickers, but no help has left the yards on account of the disagreeable weather. Auction Sale.
