READY FOR BUSINESS
New
Dallas Creamery Wit! Begin
Operations Next Monday
Morning.
The Dallas creamery will open its
doors for business next Monday morn
ing. The machinery has all arrived,
and is being placed in position as
rapidly as the work can be done. Mr.
Townsend, the president of the com
pany, came up from Portland, Wed
nesday, and is personally supervising
the work.
- The Dallas Creamery will be owned
and operated by the T. S. Townsend
Creamery Company, of Portland. The
Townsend company is among the
largest creamery .concerns on the
Pacifio Coast, and the demand for its
products is so great that the company
finds it necessary to continually
widen its territory. The head office
and principal manufacturing plant of
the concern are in Portland. Branch
creameries are operated in Astoria,
Salem and Lyons, and Bklmming
stations are maintained in nearly
every community In western
Oregon and western Washington.
The company also has an office and
large salesroom in Seattle.
Mr. Townsend says that the demand
for "White Clover" butter is increas
ing so rapidly that the company finds
it absolutely necessary to establish
more creameries. He has faith in
Dallas as an' excellent field for the
creamery buslnoss, and reels conn
dent that he will be able to build up a
large business here when the farmers
find that they can realize more profit
by selling their cream at home than
by shipping it elsewhere.
The Townsend creamery products
alwayscommand the top market prices
and, as a consequence, the farmers
soon find that it is to their advan
tage to deal with a concern whose
market is so well established. "White
Clover" butter is now selling at 32J
cents a pound, and the farmers are
receiving pay for their cream at a
correspondingly high rate. Mr.
Townsend will be in Dallas for sev
eral days and he would be greatly
pleased to have the farmers and
dairymen call at the creamery, as he
desires to become acquainted with all
of them and to talk over matters of
mutual interest and benefit
Since the first steps were taken to
interest Mr. Townsend in starting a
creamery in Dallas, the writer has met
and talked with several farmers who
have had business dealings with his
creameries in other counties, and it Is
gratifying to say that in every Instance
Mr. Townsend's methods of doing
business were spoken of In highest
praise. It is of great importance to
the dairying interests of Polk county
to have a strong and established con
cern like the Townsend Creamery
Company operating a plant in this
field, and the Observer but voices the
sentiment of the people of Dallas and
the farmers of the surrounding coun
try when it bids these live, business
men a cordial welcome to Dallas.
ASK FOR FREE FERRY
Delegation of Prominent Indepen
dence Men Present Petition
to County Court.
A delegation of Independence busi
ness men waited upon ine uouoty
Court, Wednesday, to lay before it a
petition concerning the Installation of
a free ferry across the Willamette
River at Independence. The terras of
this proposition were that the city of
Independence should purchase and
install the ferry, and that the expense
of maintaining and operating it should
be shared equally between Polk and
Marion counties. The same proposi
tion was offered to Marion county offic
ials yesterday, but no action has been
taken on It In either of the two cou nties,
as yet.

DASHING CAPTAIN PEARY.
BY J. DEAN COLLINS.
O, Peary.dashing, muchly-furloughed
man!
TIs well nigh eighteen years since
you besran
To add rich spice to dull life's scanty
dole.
By frequent frantic dashes for the
Pole:
Indeed, your whole career, it seems to
us,
Might be set forth with strings of
dasbes thue:
)
Yet all your struggle, ferment, riot,
fuss,
Confusion, stamrash, scramble, rum
pus, muss,
Pother, excitement, mix, (and so on
down,
'Til poor old Webster's eoose is
roasted brown,)
Has not achieved for you your long
sought goal
That strange, elusive thing they call
the Pole.
'Though baffled oft, still do you yearn
for it.
And still pursue It, with ydUr camping
kit,
Your lanky dogs and greasy
Esquimaux,
Into the Arctic land that never thaws;
And where the Pole, as wise men
apprehend,
Sticks visibly out of the world's north
end.
When from the North the six months'
daylight flees,
Tired of your diet of Bweet memories,
Boiled shoe-soles, dog meat, bear
skin, walrus oil,
You seek once more your sunny,
native soil
And, victualed up again, serene and
fat
Immediately you pass around the hat
Deluded man, remit your fiery search I
Nor leave us all in the (financial)
lurch!
Within the Temperate Zone's serene
expanse,
Ten thousand poles are patent to
your glance;
Behold, they tower before each barber
shop
Some plainly striped, some gilded on
the top I
Of those, (and
more
truly, they are many
Than e'er you saw
'neath the Aurora
tsor-
Ealis' beams, e'en
single eye
though your
Was doubled by the potency of rye,)
Take you your choice, and let our
greenbacks rest
In their snug roll upon our panting
breast.
Let Wellman cleave the azure dome of
heaven
To him enough spondulix hath been
given,
Out of the Record-Herald's coffers
vast,
To make his dash to hunt this
nolnr mast.
Then let him dash, and see the matter
through;
But dashed if we'll dig up again for
you I
