Polk County Observer J. C. HAYTER, KDITOH AND PUBUSHKR- Published Weekly aud Semi - Weekly at $1.60 per Year. 8trlctlv In Advance. DALLAS, OREGON, Junk 25, 1907. The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. More new residences cannot be built in Dallas because it is impossi ble to get as many carpenters as are needed. This is an unfortunate con dition, as Dallas is one of the most progressing towns in the Willamette valley. Salem Statesman. Dallas is universally conceded to be a beautiful town, but the numerous dead-walls covered with the tattered remnants of superannuated circus Dostera. clarincr advertisements of Owl cigars, patent nostrums and plug tobacco cannot be said to add mater ially to the aesthetic quality of the appearance of "The Town That Does Things." Amateur students of astronomy may now have an opportunity to gain at first hand, a little knowledge of sun spots. A large sun spot, easily visible bv the aid of a smoked glass, is at this time crossing the face of the sun in its southern zone. This spot is said to be 82,000 miles in diameter. It will soon become invisible, since it has already passed the central part of the sun's disk and is approaching the western limb. A genuine "Preacher and Bear" incident occurred last week at the base of MouDt Adams, where a she bear chased the Rev. S. C. Lapham, of Portland, nearly a quarter of a mile. It is said that the race between the man and the animal was one of the finest sprinting matches ever seen. Like the words of the popular song, the parson doubtless prayed : "O, Lord, if you can't help me, please don't help the bear!" "Senator Beveridge is not a consti tutional lawyer, nor a constitutional statesman," says Harper's Weekly. Tush, tushl Albert Jeremiah Beve ridge, of Indiana, is the constitution itself. Likewise he is the Pilgrim Fathers, the Spirit of '76, the Declara tion of Independence, the Ordinance of 1787, the Emancipation Proclama tion, the general welfare and the blessings of ourselves and our poster ity. Harper's Weekly needs a little regulation. Now York World. Dallas is just now receiving many nice compliments in the newspapers of Oregon for having subscribed $1100 in a single day for a Fourth of July celebration. The liberality of the mer chants in giving this handsome sum is an excelltnt advertisement of the town, but the big celebration itself will be the best advertisement of all. If you want to see a live town cele brate, come to Dallas on the Fourth. Polk County Observer. Brother Hayter must remember that he resides in a rich and prosper ous community, where the "Giver of all good things" has blessed His peo ple with plenty, and principally with plenty of progressive people the "mossbacks" having all lucked the bucket. Tillamook Herald. Teamsters, Attention! All persons having teams and wag ons which they are willing to hire out for the parade on Jiily 4 are requested to leave their names at the Odserver office. Several good strong wagons aud gentle, showy teams will be needed for the floats. Help the cele bration by notifying us at once. False Alarm. One or the rural carriers coining in from Polk county Monday after noon reported a big fire raging in the direction of Dallas, and that apparently the town was on fire. An inquiry by phone was answered : "No fire here and none in sight." It is probable the smoke seen was from a timber fire some distance this side of Dallas. Salem Journal. The committee appointed to solicit supplies for the Pioneer banquet were successful beyond all expectations this morning. The work was finished in less than two hours, and three times as much food could have been easily secured. The banquet will be given in the old skating rink on Oak street at noon, July 3. The members of the committee doing such excellent work were Mrs. J. D. Smith, Mrs. O. L. Hawkins, Mrs. C. E. Shaw, Mrs. Ella J. Metzger and Miss Bertha Collins. J. B.

Will Hubbard has sold his confec tionery store In Portland and will come to Dallas soon. He will reside here until Fall, when he will move to a farm near Suver. Photos. Have you seen Cher- rington's latest photos? They are up- to-date. When you sit in front of his big Dallmeyer lens which is the finest made, there is no mistake. Will Caldwell, L H. Conner and Charles Berry returned last week from a ten days' fishing trip at Ocean Park. In spite of the continual rain, they had a most enjoyable trip. The ladies of the Evangelical church are preparing to serve refreshments on the college campus on the Fourth. They will stretch the big tabernacle under the oak trees and entertain all comers. Miss Nola Coad, a daughter of Coun ty Judge and Mrs. Ed F. Coad, has been chosen as Goddess of Liberty for the Dallas celebration. Miss Nola is charming young woman, and the people of Dallas are highly pleased with the choice of the committee. Frank Gibson was up from Eick- reall on a business visit this morning. He is preparing to move his family to Bellingham, Wash., and will sell his household goods at public auction, Saturday, July 6, at 2 o'clock p. m. In addition to his furniture, he will also sell a 3j wagon, three sets of harness and a buggy. M. F. White will be the auctioneer. Dr. L. Pfandboefer came up this morning from Portland, where lie had boon purchasing furniture and sup plies for his hospital in Falls City. The new hospital will be modern in every respect aud will have accommo dations for 25 patients. The building is now completed and the plumbers are finishing their work. The hos pital will be opened about July 1. B. E. Williams, President or the Dallas National Bank, is the proud possessor of a handsome new auto mobile. The machine is of the Ford runabout pattern and is built on the latest approved lines. It is driven by a 15-horse power engine and climbs the steepest hills with ease. It can be safely driven at a speed of 35 miles an hour on an ordinary country road The auto was driven from Portland to Dallas by a professional chauffeur in three hours. The P. A. Finseth baseball team surely had a Jonah with them when playing the Indian team atChemawa, Saturday. In the fifth inning, with the score standing 3 to 2 against them, they succeeded in getting two men on bases and had reached the heavy end of their batting list, but just as they were preparing to turn the tide of vic tory in their favor, the heavens opened, the floods came, and the game went by the board. Talk about hard luck! Sweeney Brothers, the new pro prietors or the Dallas Flouring Mill, are making active preparations for receiving the new wheat crop. They are placing a heavy concrete founda tion under the granary and making many other improvements about the mill. The machinery will be shut down next week to permit the work men to complete their task. The new owners of the mill are out for business and it is already certain that more wheat will be stored in Dallas this year than ever before. Tho auction sale at Joe Brown's place near Lewisvillo last Friday was largely attended, farmers being pres ent from all parts or Polk, Benton and Yamhill counties. Everything sold well, especially the livestock. Twenty six head or horses were sold at prices ranging rrom $75 to $200. The super iority of newspaper advertising over the old stvle of poster and handbill publicity was never more clearly dem onstrated than at this sale. Mr. Brown bought space freely in all the local newspapers and drew the largest crowd that ever attended a publio sale in Polk county. This result was accomplished at half the cost of poster advertising. . v tot Tn r t v s" A T O 3 Dr. Hayter. Dentist. Office over Wilson's Drug Store. Dallas. Oregon. " ABrldStcp.
