SECOND APPLE SHOW.
Encouraged by the success of last
year's apple show, the members of the
Polk County Horticultural Society
met in Dallas last Saturday afternoon
and decided to hold another show next
Fall, No date was set for the exhi
bition, as the arrangements will be
left entirely to a committee of five
members and the time for holding the
show will be decided upon later In the
season. The committee appointed to
take charge of the arrangements con
sists of the following orchardists:
Peter Kurre, of Independence, chair
man ; N. M. Grant and J. B. Nunn, of
Dallas; B. I. Ferguson, of Eola, and
N, F. Gregg, of Ballston.
The action of the apple growers in
deciding to hold another annual exhi
bition will be heartily indorsed by
the farmers of the county. The show
last Fall, while in the nature of an
experiment, proved highly successful,
and the apple industry in Polk county
was greatly stimulated. The exhibit
proved more eloquently than any
words that apples as fine as any in
the world can be grown in the Wil
lamette Valley, when intelligent care
is exercised in cultivating the orchards
and handling the fruit. The show
also encouraged the farmers to clean
up their old orchards by vigorous
spraying and pruning. The apples
marketed last winter were of better
quality and commanded a higher
price than for many years past, and
the farmers who had taken the pains
to produce fruit of such excellent
quality had the satisfaction of being
able to add neat sums to their
respective bank accounts.
The old, neglected orchards that
have so long been a disgrace to the
Willamette Valley are rapidly disap
pearing, and apple growing is taking
its rightful place among the wealth
producing industries of Oregon. In
this change for better conditions, the
annual apple shows held in various
portions of the state are playing an
important part.
FUNDS FOR FOURTH
Dallas Business Men Contribute
$1100 For Big Celebration.
The "vertical system" of writing
has been abolished by the school text
book commissioners, and the "semi
slant,"' a style equally senseless,
adopted.
The Fourth of July celebration fund
in Dallas will reach the handsome
sum of $1100. The canvass of the
business district for subscriptions has
been completed and something over
$1000 has been pledged. The amount
to be donated by the city from the
license fund will not fall short of $50,
and It is expected that at least as
much more will be realized from vol
untary subscriptions and miscella
neous sources. With this handsome
amouDt of money at hand, the com
mittees will be able to arrange for the
greatest and best two days' celebra
tion ever held in Polk county.
The members of the various com
mittees held a meeting Wednesday
night and transacted much business
of importance. Each committco was
apportioned the amount of money
needed In carrying out its work, and
plans for the celebration were dis
cussed at length.
No definite details of the two days'
program can be given for a few days,
but it is already settled that there will
be three brass bands in attendance,
and that a grand open-air concert will
be given on the evening of July 3.
Three of the best baseball teams in
the valley will contest for champion
ship honors, and there will be races
and sports galore. The plug-ugly
parade will be headed by its own
brass band and will furnish plenty of
amusement for old and young, The
display of fireworks on the night of
the Fourth will surpass all former
exhibitions of the kind. Other attrac
tions that are now being considered
by the committees are a balloon ascen
sion, barbecue, etc.
It Is hardly necessary to add that
all of the entertainment features of
the big two days' celebration and pio
neer reunion will be free to the public.
Dallas, following her time-honored
custom of making all attractions free
on public days, has subscribed the
money needed in providing two solid
days of fun and amusement, and
everything will be as free as the water
that flows. The liberality of the busi
ness men and the splendid work of
the finance committee have made it
possible for Dallas to entertain the
good people of Polk and adjoining
counties as they have never been
entertained before on a National hoi
iday.

Furniture dealers in nearly every

not appear to be greatly worried,

WILL BUILD STEEL BRIDGE
County Court Lets Contract For New
Structure at Falls City to Walla
Walla Contractors.
The contract for the construction of
a steel bridge across the Luckiamute
river in Falls City was awarded to
P. S. Easterday & Company, or Walla
Walla, yesterday afternoon. The con
tract price is $4600.
Judge Coad said last night that the
demand for steel bridges had become
so urgent in various parts of the
county that the Court decided to adopt
the system by building the first steel
structure at Falls City. It is the
intention of the Court to gradually do
away with the old wooden bridges by
replacing them with steel as they
wear out. The expense will not fall
heavily upon the taxpayers in any
one year, by pursuing this policy,
ami the improvements will be of a
permanent character and prove eco
nomical In the long run.
T. R. Crook, the man who was hurt
while running a clod roller on the
Caufleld farm near Bickreall last
Thursday, was in town Wednesday.
His many friends will be glad to learn
that his injuries were not nearly so
serious as reported.
Janitor Resigns.
A. M. Trent, who for two years has
acceptably filled the position of jan
itor at the Courthouse, tendered his
resignation yesterday afternoon. The
resignation was accepted, to take
effect June 15. Mr. Trent will engage
in other work after that date. His
resignation reads as follows:
"i nereoy tender my resignation as
janitor and care-taker of the Court
House and Couit House grounds in
Polk County, such resignation to take
effect on the 15th of June, 1907. In
this connection I beg to express to the
remaining members of the Board
which appointed me to this position
my thanks for the many acts of kind
ness and courtesy shown me during
the time of my employment by the
County.

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To yon, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed
ith 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 amouot 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 Bave 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.
