The car situation in Polk county is assuming a serious aspect. With millions of feet of lumber piled up in the yards at Dallas and Falls City, nd with orders for shipments pour- ng in from all parts of the United States, the mill men are now securing an average of only three cars a day for the entire district. The sawmills in Dallas and Falls City are cutting, on a safe estimate, 300,000 feet of lum ber a day, and the cars furnished will move less man 20 per cent or tnis out put. The Falls City Lumber Com pany has nearly 3,000,000 feet await- ng shipment, the UDerer-Meyer mill is practically at a standstill, and the Johnson and Willamette Valley mills in Dallas are seriously handicapped by reason ,of the lack ot transportation facilities. The mill owners of the county feel that they are not receiving fair treat ment at the hands oitne railroads, and are gathering evidence to show that there is discrimination against Polk county. Whether this discrimination is in tentional, oi whether it so happens on account of location, they do not know, but the fact remains that such dis crimination does exist. They an nounce their intention of doing all in their power to induce the railroad companies to relieve the situation, and, railing in this move, it is proDaDie that they will carry their light for U8tiee iuto the next Oregon Legis lature. It is the general opinion in the Willamette Valley that if the rail roads do not come to the reiier or ine shippers soon, that a stringent car shortage bill will be passed by the next legislature. Should the Legis lature fail to come to the relief of the mill owners, it is certain that such a measure would be adopted by the people at the following general elec tion, under the new initiative clause n the state constitution.

Riley, It. E. Williams, H. Woods and j. it. vanursciei sold the Hallock tract of 2'200 acres to L. Gerlinger and his business associates. About $23,000 was Involved in the change of ownership. Mrs. M. E. Hallock gave an option on tne property to the Dallas men a few months ago for $18,000. so it will be seen that the sellers made a neat profit on the trans action. Nearly every acre or the land s covered with good saw timber, and it is considered a good buy at $23,000. Negotiations are now pending ior the purchase of the mills and timber holdings or the w. w. jonnson juum- ber Company by Mr. Gerlinger and his associates. The reports mat tne Willamette Valley Lumber Company had opened negotiations for the pur chase of this property were made with out authority, and are incorrect. George T. Gerlinger, secretary of the Willamette Valley .Lumber uompany, Informs the Observer that his com pany has nothing to do with the pro posed deal. It is stated on good authority, however, that should the mill pass into the hands or tne new company, it win continue to oe oper ated, and probably on a larger scale than ever before.

Wanted, a large draft horse, ivu rounds or over, gentle, 7 to 10 years old. Willamette Vallev Limbeb Co.', Dallas, Or. The hop market so far this year differs Trom the opening market of last year in that all the business has been done by exporters. Last year the English firms wero slow to enter the market, and the greater part of the early buying was done by the Eastern houses. The conditions this year would indicate that there is a heavy shortage of hops abroad and that the London buyers are anxious to stock up on choice goods. The market has a decidedly healthy tone. The farmers do not appear to be in nnv errant hurrv to sell at 10 or 17 cents, and predictions of a 20-cent market for strictly choice hops are made. . John Carmichael, representing Wifrnn Rinhnrdson & Co.. of Londou, hua mniin niirchase8 at 16 cents, but denies that he offered 17J cents for the Burch crop at liickreall.

No better proof of the thorough work done in the Dallas public school is needed than that found In a letter irom Carl Osfleld, of Tortland, to Trincipal Keynolds. Carl writes that upon entering the city schools last month, he was given a searching examination by the Principal, and at its conclusion was advanced six months, or one half grade, above the grade received by him at the final examination in Dallas in June. A son of Ilev. Wardlc entered a public school in California recently and was also advanced six months over his grade in the Dallas school. Joseph Crowther received word from Wnshincton this week that he had been granted a patent on his steam boat propeller. Mr. Crowther hasi been working on this invention for j many years, and is assured by experts that he has made a valuable Improve-1 ment od the old-style propeller. While i Id Minnesota last year, he made a; test of his invention by attaching it to i a gasoline launch and making a ttlal i ruu. The test showed that fully 60 j per cent less power was required to operate this propeller than the one i fnrmerlv used on the launch. Further ; working tests will be made before! placing the invention on the market. ' : 1 DRESS G00BS APPLES WANTED Apples wanted in any quantity, at my dryer in Dallas. 0. II. COBB. Dallas, Oregon.
