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.

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

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.

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 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. It is not so much what you save but
how you save that counts. '
