WILL DISCUSS CREAMERY
T.
S. Townsend, of Portland,
Meet Farmers In Dallas To
morrow Morning.
Will
The Fourth of July celebration In
Dallas this year will be a hummer.
One thousand dollars will pay for
a lot of fine attractions.
Pity us poor people who live in town
and have no berries or vegetables or
poultry or livestock or grain to sell
but have to buy everything. The
wonder is that instead of so many
people coming to town from the
countrv a lot of town people are not
flockinar to the country in order to
make money. Portlaod Journal.
L. R. Alderman, well-known in
Polk countv. will resign the office of
School Superintendent of Yamhill
county to accept the position of City
Superintendent of the Eugene schools.
Professor Alderman is one of the
strong men of Oregon in educational
work, and the people of Eugene are to
be congratulated upon securing his
services.
Every farmer in the west end of
Polk county should attend the cream
ery meeting in Pallas tomorrow. The
creamery bnsiness is growing rapidly
in Oregon, and the farmers who are
devoting time and Intelligent atten
tion to their dairy cows are reaping
rich returns. There is no reason why
Polk county farmers should not share
in this prosperity. Dallas is situated
in the heart of an ideal dairying
section and should have one of the
largest and best equipped creameries
In Oregon.
County Court next week.
Miss Sadie Francis, of Portland, is
visiting friends in Dallas.
U. L. Frazer has moved from Inde
pendence to Parker Station.
Dr. H. A. Littlefield, of Xewberg,
was a visitor in Dallas, Tuesday.
Fred B. West, of Aberdeen, Wash ,
visited old-time friends in Dallas this
week.
A Dallas baseball team defeated the
Amity team yesterday afternoon by a
score of 10 to 3.
The Observer is prepared to do
round-cornering, perforating, and
punching for loose-leaf ledgers.
The Newberg Graphic says that
O. W. James, the S. P. station agent
at that place, is to be transferred to
Dallas.
The farmers tell us that a local in
our "Wanted" and "For Sale"
column brings returns and the cost
is small.
Mrs. Joseph Howard, formerly Miss
Rose Sites, has been visiting at the
home of Mrs. Martha Cosper. She is
living in Corvallis, while her son is at
tending school.
J. E. Allen, or Oak Grove, was a
county seat visitor yesterday. He
reports that active arrangements are
being made for the picnic to be held
at the Grove on Saturday, June 8.
Jack Myer, a printer in the Falls
City News office, received a telegram
yesterday informing him of the death
or his father in St. Paul, Miunesota.
The young man left fur home last
night.
The new concrete walks in front of
Smith & Coad's building and J. C.
Shultz's residence property were com
pleted Wednesday. The city is putting
in a substantial concrete crosswalk to
connect the Fuull and Shultz walk?
on Mill street. Now that the city has
begun building cement crosswalks,
the Observer predicts that it will not
be many years until there will be no
board walks left in the business dis
trict Decoration Day is becoming more
and more a holiday each year. The
day was generally observed in Dallas
yesterday, the batiks, county offices
and the greater number of the busi
ness houses being closed. The ceme
teries were visited by a large number
of people, and the graves of deceased
relatives and friends were covered
with beautiful flowers. In many
neighborhoods in the county, men
and women spent the day in cleaning
and beautifying old and neglected
graveyards.
A meeting of farmers will be held
in Brown's Hall tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock to further consider the
advisability of establishing a cream
ery in Dallas. T. S. Townsend, pres
ident of the T. S. Townsend Creamery
Company, of Portland, will be present
and submit a proposition looking to
the establishment of a branch cream
ery at this place.
The Observer received a letter from
Mr. Townsend yesterday saying that
he would bo in Dallas, Saturday, and
that Manager Underbill, of the com
pany's creamery in Salem, would
probably go to Dallas and attend the
meeting. Mr. Townsend says he is
ready to establish a creamery here,
provided the proper encouragement is
given by the farmers.
It is expected that the question will
be decided definitely tomorrow, as the
season is getting late and it will be
necessary to begin the work imme
diately if desired results are to be
accomplished this summer.

the same grade of printing that is
done in the best offices in the large
cities. When proof of this assertion
is desired, we furnish it by duplicating
any job brought us from the city
offices. By spending thousands of
dollars for modern machinery and the
very latest type faces, we are enabled

high-grade printing.

The best is Hood's Sarsaparilla. It
is the best because it does the most good.
While it makes the blood pure, fresh
and lively, it tones the stomach to bet
ter digestion, creates an appetite, stimu
lates the kidneys and liver, gives new
brain, nerve and digestive strength.
An unequaled list of cures 40,366 tes

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high. v .
It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed
With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let lipht 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
ou can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than eleetno light, but does it save you anvthing when it limits oo
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 wouldo t be economy. It is not so much what you save, but
how you save that counts. J '
