The way to build up Dallas is to fat
rnnize Dallas people.
Senator Wright's bill providing the
death penalty for the holdup man is
one of the few really meritorious
measures pending before the Oregon
Legislature. It should pas9 both
houses and become a law.
Congressman-elect Hawley is active
in lobbying against the Jones canal
and locks bill, and says he wants to
carry the project back to Washing
ton. He wouldn't know what to do
with it after he got it there.
The bill appropriating $65,000 for
theJamestown exposition was killed
in the senate by a vote of 15 to 12.
Pretty tough on Hon. Jeff Myers,
Uncle Henry Dosch and a few others,
but no particular-loss to the state.
Printers' Ink, recognized the world
over as au authority on advertising,
says in a recent number: "It is now
pretty generally believed that one
large advertisement in one paper will
prove more useful than four small
announcements occupying the same
space in the aggregate in four pages."
Special investigating committees to
visit state institutions have been ap
pointed at Salem. As the members
draw no mileage this year, and have
no clerks to appoint, positions on
these committees were not in great
demand. Polk county members re
ceived places as follows : Senator
Loughary on Baby Home and lioys'
and Girls' AidSociety ; Representative
McCallon on Capital Building and
Grounds; Representative Jones on
Boys and Girls' Aid Society.
W. W. Percival has recently con
tributed some excellent articles on
sheep and hog raising to the Inde
pendence West Side. He tells what is
being done by enterprising Polk
county farmers in this line of in
dustry, giving facts and figures to
show the profits that are being made
by men who are handling livestock
in an intelligent and business-like
way. Such articles are of great prac
tical value, and more of them should
be published by the newspapers of
Oregon.
It seems almost impossible of belief
that while the people of the Willamette
Valley were enjoying mild, balmy
weather this week, the city of Portland
was experiencing the worst sleet and
ice storm ever known in Oregon. And
yet such was the case. It is believed
that the damage caused by the storm
will reach nearly one-half million
dollars. Telephone and telegraph
wires were wrecked, trees were up
rooted in the streets, traffic was block
aded, and business was brought to a
standstill. Such storms are almost
unknown in Oregon, and it is lucky
for the 6tato that they occur at such
in frequent. intervals.
Believing that many of the lime
stone deposits in Oregon will furnish
prime material for the manufacture
of cement, the Oregon Agricultural
College at Corvallis has added a new
automatic cement testing machine
and will make experiments with any
stone seat to the college free of charge
to the person sending it. Samples of
limestone sent for testing should
weigh not less than 20 pounds, and
should represent an average sample
of the deposit. It has long been be
lieved that the immense deposits of
limestone in the hills west of Dallas
would make an excellent quality of
cement, and it would be well for the
owners of these quarries to take ad
vantage of this opportunity to have
the stone given a thorough test. If
this stone is suitable for cement pur
poses, it will be the meansof establish
ing another important industry that
will add hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the wealth of Tolk county.

Liver and Kidneys
It Is highly Important that these organs
should properly perform their functions.
When they don't, what lameness of the
Me and back, what yellowness of the skin,
what constipation, bad taste In the mouth,
sick headache, pimples and blotches, and
loss of courage, tell the story.
The great alterative and tonic
Hood'sSarsaparilla
Gives these organs vigor and tone for the
proper performance of their functions, and
cum all their ordinary ailments. Take It.
NEW TRAIN SCHEDULE
Commencing February 1, Three Daily
Passenger Trains Will Be Run Be
tween Dallas and Falls City. j
The new passenger train schedule
for the operation of trains between
Dallas and Falls City, and also be
tween Falls City and Black Rock, has
been completed and will go into effect
February 1. By this schedule, the
running time of the present trains
will be changed and an additional
train will be added. General Manager
Gerlinger says that the operation of
an additional daily train will cause
the trainmen much extra work, and
he is not yet sure whether the trains
can be run on the time provided by
the new schedule. In order to deter
mine the practicability of the arrange
ment, the time table will be given a
week or ten days trial, and if it proves
satisfactory it will be permanently
adopted.
According to the new schedule, the
morning train will leave Dallas at
7 :15 and arrive at Falls City at 7:35,
Returning, it will leave Falls City at
8 :45 and arrive in Dallas at 9 :30.
The next train will be a freight No
coach will be attached to this train,
but accommodations will be provided
for passengers in the caboose. None
but through passengers will be carried,
however, as the train will make no
stop3 between Dallas and Falls City,
either going or coming. Owing to
limited time, this train will not be run
to the Southern Pacific depot for
passengers, but will start from the
company's terminal grounds iu South
Dallas.
This new train will accommodate
Falls City people arriving in Dallas
on the morning train from Portland,
and will also connect with the after
noon train between Dallas and Port
land. It will leave Dallas at 11:10
a. m., and arrive in Falls City at 11 :50
a. m. Returning, it will leave Falls
City at 1 p. in., and arrive in Dallas
at 1 :45 p. m.
The last train in the afternoon will
leave Dallas at 3 :20 o'clock, and arrive
in Falls City at 4, Returning, it will
leave Falls City at 4 :30, and arrive in
Dallas at 5 :15 p m.
The daily schedule between Falls
City and Black Rock will be as
follows : Leave Falls City at 0 a. m.,
and arrive back in Falls City in time
to connect with the 8:45 train for
Dallas. Leave Falls City at 9 a. in ,
and arrive back in time to connect
with the 1 p. m. train for Dallas
Leave Falls City again at 1 :30 p. in.,
and arriveback in time to connect
with the 4:30 train for Dallas. Tins
schedule will give the people of Black
Rock three trains daily to the county
seat, and will be a great improvement
over the present schedule.
The road is now well equipped with
heavy locomotives and cars, and no
difficulty will be experienced in oper
ating all trains on time. The officers
of the company are entitled to much
credit for their efforts to furnish such
excellent service to their patrons, and
a greatly increased travel will doubt
less result.
W. H. Roy has purchased the
Meiser & Meiser crockery and notion
store and will move the stock to the
Collins building. He has also pur
chased the ladies' furnishing goods
department of Mrs. Metzger.the latter
retaining only her millinery business.
Judge Collins will put a modern front
in his building and a neat store will
be fitted tip. Mr. Roy is no stranger
in Dallas business circles and it is
certain that he will enjoy a paying
trade.

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed.
Vith gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than electric light, but does it save you anvthing when it limits op
portunities for work and recreation-ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls-mars decorations and increases household work You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals
but it wouldn t be economy. It is not so much what you save but
how you save that counts. J '
