Polk County Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUH1 JSIITCR. Published Weekly and Semi - Weekly at $1.50 per Year. Strletlv in Advance. DALLAS, OREGON, At'oi'ST 6, 1907. The way to build up Dallas ts to pat ronise Dallas people. Some of the Oregon newspapers scent a conspiracy agahist the Direct Primary Law. It would really be too bad if this expensive and impracticable method of choosing public officers were to be done away with. The people of Oregon might never get another Legislature like the last one. Just think of it! WILL BUY CRUSHER City Council Appoints Committee to Examine Various Makes of Machines. For violating the law agaiust accept ing rebates from railroads, the Stan dard Oil Company wasflned $29,240,000 by Judge Landis, Saturday. This fine is the largest ever assessed against any firm or corporation in the history of American jurisprudence, and will doubtless be followed by a sharp advance in the price of coal oil. Polk county's share of the state school fund apportionment is $6,171.67 This amount is a little les3 than the apportionment of last year. The decrease is due to the fact that many sales of school land have been adjudged illegal on account of fraud in making out the applications. The amount of the purchase price and the interest which had been paid, had to be refunded out of the treasury, and this made a very material difference in the amount available for school purposes. The people of Corvallis are rejoiciDg over the assurance of a railroad from that city to the Alsea valley. Fifteen cars or steel nave arrived for the pro posed road and more is expected daily. Grading was commenced Monday and will be rushed to completion before the rainy season begins. The new road will open up a rich and prosper ous portion of Oregon that has long been without adequate transportation facilities. It will encourage the build ing of sawmills in one of the finest timber bodies in the West, and will bring to Corvallis the trade of a wealthy agricultural and stock-raising country. The second step has been taken by the city in the movement for the pur chase of a rock crusher and the improvement of the 8treets. The first act of tho council was to secure a quarry site by purchasing 3 acres of basaltic rock on the Boise farm west of town. The second step was taken last night when, after conferring with three dealers handling road making machinery, a committee con sisting of Councilmen Sibley, Coad and Grant was appointed by Mayor Muir to investigate the respective merits of the various crushers and road rollers on the market and report the result of their findings at the earliest possible date. The city officers are moving in earnest, and the next step will be the purchase of the machinery and the grading of the streets for the rock. The petition of D. C. Crider for per mission to erect a corrugated iron or steel building at the corner of Main and Oak streets was referred to the Fire and Water committee. The quarterly reports of the Aud itor and Treasurer were referred to the Finance Committee. BUSINESS LOCALS. nr lTfivtfir. Dentist Office over Wilson's Drug Store. Dallas. Oregon For Sale.

Nine county school super intendents in Oregon are graduates of this institution. The president of the Ashland Normal, likewise the president of the Drain Normal, re ceived their diplomas at Monmouth. Now, two of its graduates have been elected to the Weston Normal faculty. Teachers trained at Monmouth are to be found in large numbers in every county in the state, and the demand is far greater than the supply. It is to be hoped that at the next election the voters of Oregon will right the wrong done to this worthy institution and further enlarge its sphere of useful ness. A. F.

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 or lighting and adjusting.
