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.

a score of 4 to 3.
Will Hubbard has sold his confec
tionery store In Portland and will

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. .

The best is Hood's Sarsaparilla. It
is the best because it does the most good.
While it makes the blood pure, fresh

lates the kidneys and liver, gives new
brain, nerve and digestive strength.
An unequaled list of cures 40,366 tes

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 liRht 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 probac y get some kind or artificial light for less monev
than electric light, but does it save you anvthing when it limits op
