DALLAS, POLK
THRIVING BLACK ROCK
Scene of Unusual Activity Presented
at Hoik County's New Lumber
. Town.
It would be both good poetry and
good sense to speak of Black Rock as
a mushroom city. In little more than
a year, it has sprung into existence
and grown into an active hamlet of
from five to six hundred inhabitants.
Black Rock Is pre-eminently a log
ging colony. The Dallas and Falls
City railroad has sent out spur tracks
in all directions along the Luckiamute
at that place, and brings into Dallas
daily loads of logs some of which
supply the Willamette Valley Lum
ber Company's large mill, while
others are hauled to the Spauldlng
Mill in Newberg. In addition to the
logs sent out of Black Rock, logs are
also cut to supply three sawmills In
the town itself.
The Cone Lumber Company's mill,
which has an average capacity of
60,000 feet per day, employs thirty
men in the mill and about twenty-five
in the woods.
The McCready mill and the Meyer
mill employ about thirty men each,
and turn out an average of 15,000 feet
per day.
Labor is scarce and wages are good,
$2.50 per day being the minimum of
men's wages.
There are about thirteen donkey
engines stationed about iu the timber,
six being used by Masters' logging
crew, four by Spauldlng, and three by
Cone.
Edward Jacobson conducts a general
merchandise store, and it is reported
that Walter Tooze, of Falls City,
Intends to Install a store soon.
The butcher shop owned by J. W.
Richardson, of Dallas, does a rushing
business, and its proprietor says he
has his hands full.
Although Black Rock is thriving
and growing at present, the depletion
of the timber about it must eventually
result either in the total disappearance
of the town, or at least, a migration of
the inhabitants to a point farther up
on the Luckiamute. There are three
falls in the Luckiamute a short
distance above the town and the con
tour of the country is well suited to
convey the water In flumes from above
these falls to Black Rock. Here a fall
of perhaps 150 feet could be secured,
and an enormous power could be
generated. Should such an enterprise
be carried through in future, it might
serve to make the town permanent,
though the nearness of Falls City
would prevent it from attaining any
large growth.
To Report Neglected Deposits.
Between July 1 and July 16, all
banks in the state must report to the
Secretary of State a list of all the
accounts they have with depositors
who have not increased or decreased
their accounts for seven years, and
who are not known to be alive. The
reports are to be made on blanks to
be furnished by the Secretary of State.
This is the first time these reports have
been required and there Is considerable
curiosity aa to the number and
amounts of deposits that have been
left by men who have either died or
left the country. -Oregonian.
Largest Cherry Orchard.
Probably the largest cherry orchard
in the Willamette valley is that of
S. P. Kimball. It Is located on the
Oak Grove road In Polk county, a few
miles from Salem, and consists of
about 87 acres. Mr. Kimball is the
manager of the Salem Mutual Can
ning Company and had 40 acres al
ready set in cherries. lesteraay lie
mi mh used an adjoining tract of 47
acres from E.Schlndler, which he will
also put in cherries. He paid $50 an
acre for the land which is considered
remarkably cheap, for it is especially
adapted to the growing of cherries.

COUNTY, OREGON,
EOLA'S EARLY HISTORY
Incidents of Pioneer Days Re
called by Patriarch Breeze
Gibson.
Breeze Gibson, the patriarch of
Eola, was in town Tuesday, and as
usual, he had some interesting
reminiscences to relate concerning the
pioneer days in Oregon. While talk
ing to several old residents of Polk
county, Breeze discovered that he was
the only living person who knew the
origin and history of the name Eola.
He stated two little-known facts about
Eola. First, that Eola Is not the
original name of the town, and also
that its present appellation i3 derived
from a classical source.
Many present-day readers would no
doubt be surprised to learn that only
by a mere chance Eola has not
changed places with Salem, but It is a
fact that In the early territorial days
Eola came within one vote of being
created the capital city of the state.
In recallingthe story, Breeze Gibson
told of an uncle of hie, J. B. V. Butler,
long since deceased, but father of the
present Polk county Butlers, who
.founded the second store In Portland.
Another uncle cut the brush from
what Is now one of the principal
streets in Portland, In order that the
street might be surveyed.- This was
in the early '40s, when Portland was a
small hamlet.
At that time Eola was known as
CI ncln n ati, the came probably havln g
been applied by former residents of
the Buckeye state. At any rate, the
Oregon Cinncinnatl lived up to its
cosmopolitan title, for it was a bustling
town indeed. In fact, the Cincinnati
of those days was a great deal larger
than the Eola of the present time. A
curious incident in regard to Mr.
Gibson's uncle is that Mr. Butler
sold out his store in Portland, and
established a business in Cincinnati,
Polk county, because he thought he
could secure an increase of trad:,
having a larger population to draw
upon. This event, as near as Mr.
Gibson can remember, occurred in the
year 1850.
Besides Mr. Butler's store,, there
were many other successful enter
prises conducted In what was then the
metropolis of the Willamette valley.
The list includes the first sawmill and
grist mill ever erected in' Oregon,
which were owned and operated by
Alva Shaw.
In regard to the changing of the
name of the town from Cincinnati to
Eola, the facts are these: It was
about the year, or in the early 'COs,
when a great amount of Interest along
musical lines was manifested in the
Polk county neighborhood. Musical
societies and singing schools were
organized and many teachers of music
arose In the land, including Tom
Pearce, the father of Lot L. Pearce
and George J. Pearce of Salem. In
conformity with this forward move
ment In civilization, the Inhabitants
began to search about for a more
classical name to designate a neigh
borhood of such unusual culture. It
was thus that the present name was
derived from the Aeolian Harp, an
ancient instrument which took its
title from Aeolus, the God of the
wind. Salem Statesman.
No greater mistake can be made
than to consider lightly the evidence
of disease in your system. Don't take
desperate chances on ordinary medi
cines. Use Hollister's Rocky Mount
ain Tea. 35 cents, Tea or Tablets.

LIVELY RUNAWAY
Four Horses Injured and Two Wagons
Smashed at Willamette Valley
Mill.
A runaway at the sawmill of the
Willamette Valley Lumber Company,
last Thursday, resulted In the smash
ing of two wagons and the injuring of
four horses.
The mill team was pulling a load of
slabs away from the slab conveyor,
when the coupling pole of the wagon
broke. Several slabs fell on the hor
ses, who bolted, jerking the wagon in
two and overturning it. J. Hobson,
the driver, was caught under the slabs
and though uninjured, waa unable to
extricate himself in time to catch the
horses. The runaways circled and
ran into Pete Helgerson's team, throw
ing them, breaking the tongue of his
wagon and slightly Injuring both
horses. From there they ran across
toward James Wilson's property, but
when they attempted to jump the fence
one of them fell. The other broke
loose and ran down Main street into
town, dragging the doubletree at its
heels. J
The "mill had been running until 9
o'clock since Monday, owing to a rush
of orders, but was forced to close for
the evening after the runaway, since
neither team was in condition to be
worked.

she takes Hollister's Rocky Mountain
Tea. Her complexion is fine. She is
round, plump, and hand3ome; In fact,
she is young again. 35 cents. Tea or
