Polk Coynty Observer J. O. 1IAYTJEK, Ji-.OITOn. AND PUBLISHER. Published Weekly at $1.50 per Ver. Strlctlv in Advance. DALLAS, OREGON, March 15, 1907 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. Lovers of fair sport will commend the course of the Dallas College hoobotKoii hnva in rffuslncr to Dlav their team in Its present crippled condition against the comparatively fresh team of the Oregon Agricultural College. Weakened and tired from a long winter's playing, and with one of its best men out of the gan.e, it would be unjust to ask the Dallas tonm to nlav against a team that re- fnopH to loin the state league and rested while the other players were battling for state honors in order that it might meet the tired winners with a fresh team and perchance win an easy victory. The opinion seems to prevail in basketball circles that ir Corvallis desires these honors, it should be willing to fight for them. The sporting editor of the Portland Telegram expresses the general senti ment when he says : "For the sake of harmony and promoting the game, 0. A. C. ought not to hang out of the league for petty quarrels. It is sug gested that it join the league and some amicable arrangement be made by which the winning team each year should have the privilege of an ex tended tour the next season and a later series with the winner of those who stay at home for the champion ship. As it is impossible for a schedule to be arranged between all the teams of th state, some such arrangement is cecessary to make the league truly representative." FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES Airs. F. A. Wolf Believes Attempt Was Made to Poison Mem bers of Her Household. No good and useful purpose is served at this time by quarreling over who was responsible for the defeat of the Monmouth and Drain Aormal School appropriations. One thing is certain, tho Ashland and Weston schools were handsomely provided for, and the Monmouth and Drain Institutions were left out in the cold. This result was all brought about by the scheming of a lot of cheap politicians at Salem.without particular regard to the wishes of the people or interest in the educational needs of the state. The proper way to settle the Normal school question is to put the four schools squarely upon their meiita before the people and let the voters decide which shall be retained and which abolished. This course will take the Normal schools out of politics and settle the question Tor all time to come. That some person has designs upon her life and the lives of tier family is the belief of Mrs. F. A. Wolfe, of Falls City, who appeared at the office of Deputy District Attorney Sibley yesterday and reported that an attempt had been made to poison the members of her household. According to her story, she returned home from church Sunday evening and, as was her usual custom, took a drink of water before retiring for the night Noticing that the water had a peculiar, bitter taste, she requested her adopted daughter to taste it. The young woman drank a smallT portion of the contents of the glass and also experienced the bitter taste. The two ladies became thoroughly alarmed, and their fear was greatly increased wheo, later in the evening, both be came slightly ill. No serious results followed, however, and yesterday morning Mrs. Wolfe came to Dallas and told Attorney Sibley of her ex perience. She also brought a sample of the water for analysis. The officer promised to Investigate the matter and the lady returned to her home. Late yesterday afternoon Judge Sibley summoned the courage to taste the water a very gingerly taste, it may be added and after alternately sipping and spitting for several minutes, and giving the suspected poison a chance to do its worst, he confidentially informed the Obsebveb man that it tasted to him like plain, old-fashioned Epsom salts, fie was not strong enough in his conclusions, however, to test it farther, and he may decide later to submit the contents of the jar to a chemist for expert analy sis. Meanwhile, the Judge will keep the water in his oflQce, where anyone wanting a drink of it may have it f r the asking. Bad Symptoms.

LIVELY TAX PAYING Money Flows In So Rapidly Sheriff Has No Time to Count It. That Jones Did Object. Mr. Tonv N.ltner. of the board of regents of the Monmouth Normal school, does Representative Jones of Polk and Lincoln a gross injustice when he says the latter made no ob jection to the Drain school amend ment to the Monmouth appropriation bill. Mr. Jones did object and stren uously, but he knew also, as every other informed member knew, that the Monmouth bill would have been de feased without the Drain rider.- Saiem Statesman.

Sheriff Grant and Depu ties RIchter and Staats are kept busy issuing receipts to the taxpnyers who are desirous or saving the three per cent rebate, and it is believed that there will be few property-owners who have not paid in full or in part when the time for allowing tho rebate ends at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The officers have been so busy tak ing in the money that they have had no time to foot up the total collections in dollars acd cents, butSherifTGrant says that, as nearly as he can estim ate, he has about eight bushels of cash and checks on hand, with good prospects of taking In about two bush els more today. This is about as close as he will be able to come to it u itil he gets a chance to add up the payments." Taxes will become delinquent on Monday, April 1, but all who pay one half of their taxes before that date will be given until the first Monday in October to pay the remaining one-half.
