The way to build up Dallas ts to pat
ronize Dallas people.
THE BEST ADVERTISEMENT.
Dallas has never done much adver
Maine through the medium of
pamphlets, circulars and write-ups in
special editions of newspapers pos
sibly not as much as it should have
done. But it has done something of
infinitely more importance and bene
fit it has provided employment for
every laboring man coming this way
in search of work. The Dallas idea
has been that while it is well for a
town to advertise its resources and
advantages, no permanent growth
and prosperity can be reached unless
employment is provided for the labor
ing man. If we would hold the
stranger and homeseeker when he
comes among us, we must offer him
some inducement to stay. Advertising
has Its value in attracting the atten
tion of the homeseeker and investor,
but its value ends there. The rest will
depend upon the town itself. Dallas
owes its rapid growth and substantial
prosperity to the fact that its business
men have never overlooked or ne
glected an opportunity to secure an
industry that would increase the
monthly payroll and develop the sur
rounding country.
The man who comes to Dallas
soliciting money for a write-up of the
town may be surprised at the seeming
indifference of the business men to
the merits of his scheme, but let him
approach these same business men
with a proposal to establish some
industry here that will Increase the
monthly payroll and he will be more
. surprised to see how quickly they will
begin to sit up and take notice.
SPECIAL TRAINS ON FOURTH
uood Service and Low Rates on
All Railroads Centering in
Dallas.
It seems peculiar to us outsiders to
see the Oregonian taking no stand in
the late city election. It would seem
as if they wanted to see Dr. Lane
elected mayor, but were afraid to say
so. Machine politics is a spellbinder,
surely.
The foregoing paragraph was
printed in Tuesday's Portland Journal
and incorrectly credited to the Obser
ver. No such editorial was ever
printed in the Observer, and it in no
way reflects the sentiments of this
paper. The matter is of small
moment, and is worth only these few
words of explanation.
Special trains and low rates have
been granted by all railroads center
ins: in Dallas for the big Fourth of
July celebration. I. N. Woods, of the
transportation committee, reported
yesterday that President Ilirschberg,
of the Independence Motor Company,
had secured permission from the
Southern Pacific Company to run an
excursion train from McMinnville to
Dallas on the morning of the Fourth.
This train will run by way of Inde
pendence and will accommodate the
people of Amity, McCoy and Derry.
The train will leave McMinnville at
7:15 a. m., and arrive In Dallas at
9:25 a. m. Returning, it will leave
Dallas at 7 :35 p. m. The fare for the
round trip will be as follows: From
McMinnville, $1.50; Whiteson, $1.30;
Amity, $1.25; McCoy, $1.00; Derry, 75
cents.
A train will leave Airlie at 8:15
a. m.. and returning, win leave .uauas
at 9 p. m. Fare for the round trip, 85
cents.
The Dallas and Falls City railroad
will maintain the regular day sched
ules on July 3 and 4, and will run a
special train on the night of the 4th,
leaving Dallas at 10 :30 o'clock. This
train will accommodato all who desire
to remain at night and witness the big
display or fireworks. A round-trip
rate of 50 cents will be made by the
company.
Manager Hirschberg, of the Inde
pendence & Monmouth Motor Com
pany, will run the three day trains on
the regular schedule and will also
furnish a special train at night for
those who may wish to stop over for
the fireworks and ball.
It will be seen from the foregoing
schedules that the committee on trans
portation has not been idle. The
enterprising and patriotic spirit of the
railroad managers in providing such
excellent train service is greatly
appreciated, and a record-breaking
crowd is now assured.

for
The wholesalers of the United States
have advanced the price of cotton
thread to 67 cents for a dozen spools,
and the retail merchants have found
it necessary to raise the price to six
cents a spool. The big cotton trust is
treading on mighty dangerous
ground. Man, the poor sucker, will
stand for almost any amount of extor
tion the big combinations may seem
fit to heap upon him, but when the
foolish manipulators of the thread
trust make it no longer possible for
the women folk to buy one spool of
O. N. T. for five cents, or six for a
quarter, they are inviting trouble with
a capital T.
New Time Schedule.
A change in time of arrival of the
S. P. passenger trains took place on
the West Side line last Sunday. The
passenger now arrives at Inde
pendence at 10 Ai a. in., fifteen minutes
earlier than the old schedule. Return
ing from Corvallis, it arrives here at
1:55 p. m. The time of departure of
the morning motor to Dallas has been
changed accordingly. No other
change in time will be made on the
motor line for the present. The
morning passenger out of Portland
now departs from the metropolis at
7 a. m. Independence West Side.
Ballston is the only town in Polk
county not represented in the Obser
ver's list of correspondence. We
would like very much to have a
weekly news letter from that thriving
community, so as to have every pre
cinct in the county represented. No
other paper in Oregon has anything
like as thorough neighborhood news
service as the Observer, and the
pleasing part of it is that ibis depart
ment was established only five months
ago. Who will write us from Ballston?

She came down three steps at a time
and sailed into the office like a whirl
wind, says an exchange. She waited
for no ceremony but asked: "Is this
the printin' office?" "Yes madam,"
"I wanttostop my paper." "All right
madam." "Stop it right away, too,
"It's stopped, we replied, making a
blue line through her husband's name
on the subscription list. "Mebbe that
will learn you some hoas sense and
how to do the square thing next time,
and not to slight people just because
they are poor. If some rich stuck up
folks happen to have a bald-headed,
knock-kneed, cross-eyed brat born to
'em, you're in an awful hurry to put
it in the paper and make it an angel,
but when poor people have a baby you
can't say a word about it, even if it is
the prettiest child borned. This ort to
be a lesson to every paper in Oregon,"
and she went out of the office as mad
as a wet hen.

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
With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when
rTiowS? I" some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month
lou can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than electric light, but does it save you anything when it limits op
portunities for work and recreation-ruins your eyesight-smokes
your wails-mars decorations and increases household work You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without vour "menls
but it wouldn't be economy. It is not so much what you save bu?
how you save that counts. 1 '
