The way to build up Dallas ts to pat
ronize Dallas people.
TAKE WISE STEP.
The Polk County Mohair Association
has taken a long stop forward this
year in arranging for the division in
to a number of grades of the mohair
to be included in its pool. It does not
go as far in this direction as it will be
necessary to do in the future, but the
fact that a good start has been made
in the right direction is encouraging.
When all uiohalr in a pool is sold at
the same price, there is no incentive to
improve thequalityof mohair. Rural

ANOTHER NEGLECTED COUNTY
A Polk county uaper Bays that
county Is one of those which will have
to pay its share of the four million
dollar appropriation and get abso
lutely nothing in return. Linn county
is in practically the same position as
Polk. Of course, each county baa to
help keep up state institutions thoagh
not having any themselves, and yet it
ts not always a pleasant task when
one sees a spirit of local gain and not
one of general public good in the ini
provements paid for. Linn county
sends about $55,000 down to Salem
this year for the benefit of Salem,
Eugene, Corvallis and a few other
places, and of course, to help keep the
machinery of the government run
ning. It is willingly seut so far as
the just and legitimate expenses of
the state are concerned, but when
extravagance is seen in some of the
items, and graft crops out, it pinches
some. Albany Democrat.
Good newspapers always indicate
that they are published in good towns.
And the way to make good newspapers
is for business men to patronize them
instead of billboards and dead walls
when they want to reach an intelligent
reading public, Eugene Guard.
It is believed in educational circles
that President E. D. Bessler, of the
Oregon State Normal School at Mon
mouth, will be chosen to succeed Pres
ident Gatcb of the Oregon Agricul
turil College, whose resignation will
take effect in June. Mr. Ressler is a
strong man and is in every way qual
ified to manage the big school at Cor
vallis. His appointment would be
generally satisfactory to the people of
Oregon.
It is to be regretted that the Oregon
state fair will be held again this year
at so early a date that a large share of
the farmers cannot attend. The week
of September 16 to 21 has been selected.
While there are some farmers whom
the time will suit very well, there are
a large number, especially In the Wil
lamette valley, who will be in the
midst of prune or hop harvesting. It
is too early, also, for making a good
display of apples, grapes and late
pears. Rural Northwest.
Yes, but just think what a fine sea
son of the year it will be for the

The news from Washington that
applications for patents to public
lands are to be hastened with the
greatest possible expedition will bring
gladness to the hearts of the settlers
who have complied with the land laws
and are anxiously awaiting title to
their lands. By this order, it Is esti
mated that the greater part of 1,000,000
acres of the public lands in this state,
that have been regularly settled upon
by home-seekers, will proceed at once
to patent. Of this large acreage, fully
30,000 acres are located within the
Portland Land Office district.
Council Proceedings.
At a regular meeting of the City
Council on Monday evening, the City
Attorney was instructed to prepare an
ordinance providing that all side
walks to be built in the business dis
trict hereafter shall be constructed of
concrete. The district embraces both
sides of Court and Mill streets from
Church to Jefferson.
Frank Kerslake's offer of $25 for
the chairs in the City Hall was re
jected. V. P. Flske was granted permission
to build a concrete walk in front of
his residence property on Mill street.
Attorney Hayter handed in an
opinion to the enoct that property
that cannot be drained by a sewer Is
not subject to a sewer assessment.
Marshal Palmer reported that he
bad secured polling places for the
annual city election as follows : First

second ward, City Hall ; third ward,
