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!

City Council Appoints Committee

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.

Oregon's parent Normal School at
Monmouth, although deprived of
Btate aid, still continues to "supply
the goods." 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. Stonerand family and William
Black and family drove out from

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. In some homeS
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month
