DALLAS, OREGON, J UNB 18, 1907.
The way to build up Dallas ts to pat
ronize Dallas people.
The Brownsville Times, one of the
best local newspapers in Oregon, cele
brated its 18th birthday last Friday.
Tortland wants Ave million roses
for decorative purposes at her Rose
Carnival. That will, as the poet says,
be "going some," but Oregon is too
much of a rose state to fail in satisfy
ing the demand.
Walter Lyon, a former publisher of
the Independence West Side, has sold
the Albany Herald to W. H. McDonald
and Y. O. Freeman, of Sacramento,
and will engage in mining. Mr.
Lyon says he has "cast his lot with
the people of Nevada, where oppor
tunity points downward and says
dig.' " .
The snort of the iron horse will soon
be heard in Tillamook, and before
another year the richest country in
the world without railroad facilities
will be relieved from its bottled-up
condition. The Pacific Railway &
Navigation Company will unload a
CO-ton engine and three miles of steel
rails at Tillamook, between June 21
and 28, and the rails will be laid at
once. This will be the first locomo
tive in Tillamook County. The engine
and steel will be taken to the harbor
by vessel.
Just keep it in mind that Dallas
must have a cannery. It is too late
to get the project under way this year,
but it is not too late to begin talking
in favor of this important and greatly
needed industry. A certain amount
of "wind-jamming" is necessary In
getting any important enterprise
started, and now is the time to talk
cannery. The farmers want it and
the business men want it, aud the
union of these two forces is a combi
nation that can accomplish any under
taking. Talk for a cannery, early
and late it will be time mighty well
spent.
That Dallas needs a well-equipped
hospital is a fact conceded by all who
have given the subject any consider
ation. With three railroads centering
here, and with the rapid increase of
laboring men engaged in milliug,
logging, and other hazardous occupa
tions, the need of a hospital becomes
more apparent every day. Thousands
of dollars are sent out of Polk county
each year to pay hospital fees, and
the sick and injured are obliged to
make long and wearisome railroad
journeys to the cities, often at the risk
of their lives. Dallas should have a
flrst-cluss hospital, and the members
of the medical profession are the ones
who should take the lead in securing
such an institution. The doctors may
rest assured that In this work they will
have the hearty co-operation of every
citizen.
R. D. Cooper, the well-known hop
grower of Independence, tells the
Portland Telegram that Oregon's hop
crop will be about one-third short of
last year. The total crop of 190G was
150,000 bales, but it cannot be expected
to exceed 100,000 bales this year. This
estimate was formed after a journey
by team through the principal hop
growing counties of the Willamette
Valley. Mr. Cooper has had long
experience in raising and handling
hops, and any estimate formed by
him is entitled to careful study; but
there are many growers and dealers
in Oregon who do not share his
opinion that the crop this year will be
short. It is argued that the new
acreage of the large growers will In a
measure cover any loss by indifferent
cultivation on the part of the small
farmers. Be that as it may, a
heavy crop i3 not desired by
the growers this year. The prospects
for a profitable market have
been anything but encouraging, and
a light crop in the principal hop
growing stateof the Union would mean
just that much better price for the
farmers next Fall. This is one of the
years when a bumper crop is cot
wanted.
Watch for the big colored posters
announcing Dallas' greatest Fourth
of July celebration.
NUMBER THE HOUSES.
The Observer begs to offer a sug
gestion that it has long had in mind,
and one which it believes would be for
the betterment of Dallas, and that is
that the names of the streets be dis
played at each crossing and that all
the houses in the city be numbered.
Dallas is growing so rapidly, and
spreading out over such a large terri
tory that it is becoming a difficult
matter to find the residence of a family
unless one happens to know where It
is located. The business houses should
also be numbered for the sake of ap
pearance and convenience.
The need of this improvement is
brought forcibly to miod every time
we write tnat .air. ana aits. Jones
have moved into the dwelling between
the schoolhouse and the Smith cot
tage," or that "An auction sale will
be held In the vacant room cat-a-cor-nered
across the street from the Brown
building." How much better and
more instructive it would be to be able
to say that "Mr. and Mrs. Jones are
now living at No. 148 Washington
street," or that "Mr. So-and-so Is
opening a new grocery stocK at jno.
240 Main street,"etc. With the streets
properly numbered, it would no
longer be necessary, in directing a
stranger, to tell him to "Go out to the
depot, cross the street, go south two
blocks, cross the street, and then go
diagonally across the square, and you
will find your man living in a large
white house, with three maple trees in
front of it." You would simply direct
him to No. 125 Maple Street, or what
ever number it happened to be. This
would be far easier for you, and
would make a much better impression
upon him.
The expense of numbering the
houses would be small, and we believe
the improvement would be worth
many times its cost. We hope that
the City Council will, at least, give the
mutter its attention and investigation.

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To yea, 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
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
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less monev
than electric light, but does it save you anything when it limits op
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 wouldn t be economy. It is not so much what you save but
how you save that counts. '
