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. Among those hi the party which came to uaiias, vveanesaay, were J. S. Cooper, I. L. Smith, J. 8. Bohannon, B. Wilson, Arthur Moore, Dr. O. D. Butler, H. Hirschberg, J. L. Hanna, W. H. Craven, W.

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 A fresh line of Gunther's fine candles. Stafrln Drug Company.
