Polk County Observer J. C. HAYTER, rcniTOR AND PUBLISHER. PublUhed Weekly and Semi -Weekly $1.50 per Year. 8trictlv in Advance. DALLAS, OREGON, July 2, 1907. The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. STOCK THE STREAMS E. Lipton, of Falls City, has made arrangements to have 100,000 small Eastern trout shipped from Washing ton, D. C, which will be planted in the tributaries of the Luckiamute about Falls City. The result of this move will be to furnish the waters of the Luckiamute with a fresh stock of sturdy and cramv fish. If other sportsmen could be prevailed upon to follow Mr. Lipton's lead in this mat ter, it would soon become needless for fishermen to take a week off and tramp out thirty or forty miles to get good fishing. There is an abundance of trout streams in Polk County, in which the original stock has dwindled until it is practically useless for a fisherman to look for real sport on this side of the coast range. Let the same care be taken that was used in the case of the China pheasants, a few years ago, and these depleted fishing grounds will soon teem with fish. There is no reason why the Eastern bass should not be Introduced into our streams, and beyond all doubt it would add a new element to the pastime of fishing in the West, for though the trout is gamy, there is no fish more hardy, strong, or pugnacious than the bass. Mr. Lipton has set a laudable example before the sportsmen of Polk County. It is up to them to follow his lead, and if they do so, there is no doubt that their trout streams will soon become second to none in the number and quality of their fish. Important! Scores of people are hunt ing rooms in Dallas today both hotels being filled to overflowing. It is to be hoped that every family in the city having one or more rooms to rent will report to either of the hotels at once Keep up Dallas' reputation as a live and hospitable city by sparing no effort to entertain the biff crowd of DeoDle that will be our quests tomorrow and the next day. OREGON'S OLDEST NORMAL Celebrates Twenty-Fifth Anniver sary With Pleasing Exercises. The success of the June race meeting in Independence will doubtless en courage the horse owners of that city to make such meets an annual amuse ment feature in future. Hopraisers throughout Polk county have almost universally abandoned the old system of poles and twine, and one seldom sees an up-to-dute yard equipped with anything else but the regulation wiring. Rooms Wanted. July 3 and i the town's hospitality will be taxed to the utmost. Parties having rooms to rent should notify the Hotel Dallas at once, and guests will be Bent to them on those days. NOW FOR BETTER STREETS City Will Purchase Rock Quarry and Install Crusher. At a regular meeting of the City Council last night, the City Attorney was authorized to buy three acres of land on the Boise farm for a rock quarry site. This is the first step in the move that is being made by the council to purchase a rock crusher and improve the streets. The petition of the merchants for a night watchman, accompanied by a subscription pledge for $30 a month to apply on such officer's salary, was referred back to the petitioners for more money. The applications of Al Carter and F. H. Wells for appointment to the office of night watchman were read and filed. H. L. Fenton, Dr. H. L. Toney, Joe Craven and J. M. Sears were ap pointed special policemen for July 3 and 4, the first three named to serve without compensation. Academy street, between Church and Main, was ordered closed on July 3 and 4 to prevent accidents. One water bond of $1000 and one City Hall bond of $500 were ordered taken up and cancelled.

The Quarter Centennial Anniversary of Oregon's oldest State Normal School, held in Monmouth, Saturday, June 29, passed in a wave of white hot enthusiasm, leaving the old school the richer in friends, and in the prospect of an indefinite lease of life, in spite of the failure of her appropriation to materialize. The day passed in a round of inspir ing addresses by prominent men from various parts of the state. The prin cipal ideas developed In the course of these' addresses were: That no real jealousy exists between the four Normals, and that the State owes it, for the best interests of her citizens, to give all her institutions fair and Just support and maintenance. It was held that the state needed all her insti tutions, and the thought was advanced that the Monmouth Normal was placed in her present stress not by the com mon will of the citizens at large, but through the agency of political juggling. Hon. N. L. Butler, of Dallas, advised that competent men be sent out to canvass and to talk in favor of the school, since he firmly believed that its safety lay in the people gain ing a thorough understanding of the real state of affairs. Under the leadership of C. H. Jones, editor of the Oregon Teachers' Monthly, the members of the Alumni took action, whereby they promised to advance funds sufficient to tide the school over this crisis, and keep it on a solid base until the state should come to its rescue. Little doubt was expressed by any of the speakers that the present stress would have any permanent effect, other than to unify, strengthen and establish the interest of all the Normal Schools in the state. The most prominent speakers of the day were President E. D. Ressler, of Monmouth; Judge C. E. Wolverton ; Hon. N. L. Butler: Hon. A. Noltner; President P. L. Campbell, of the Uni versity of Oregon ; Judge George H. Burnett; Editor C.H.Jones; W. R. Rutherford, and President R. C. French, of the Weston Normal. A letter of sympathy and encourage ment from ex-President Stanley, for merly of Monmoufh, now laboring in Philadelphia, was read before the assembly. In the afternoon an excel lent portrait of the former president, P. L. Campbell, was presented to the school. This portrait is in oil, from the hand of Moore, who painted the portrait of President Campbell's father, which was presented to the Normal a few years ago. .ira x. ivi. isutier, an earnest sup porter of the Normal, exhibited his interest in its welfare in a touching manner, attending every meeting in person, although 95 years of age and so leeoie tnat ne bad to be assisted to and from the hall. Storms of whole- souled applause greeted the steadfast old patriot whenever he appeared on the stage. COURT HOUSE NOTES Library Notes.

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 money than electric light, but does it save you anvthing 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.
