Newspaper Page TextPolk County Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND I'lTBUSIITCR. Published Weekly ud Semi - Weekly at 11.50 per Year. Strictly iu Advance. DALLAS, OREGON, August 27, 1907. The way to build up Dallas ts to pat ronize Dallas people. DALLAS POINTS THE WAY. It has remained for Dallas to lead the way ! the work of permanent road improvement In Polk county. With the spirit of progressiveness that has developed the town from a cross-roads village to a thriving manufacturing and Industrial center in the space of a few brief years, the latest move in the direction of greater progress is the pur chase of a rock crusher, to be used in building streets that will withstand the constantly increasing traffic. The action of the council is of immeasur able importance, as good streets are all that is lacking to make Dallas a strictly modern city in every respect. All the other conveniences we have- lights, water, sewerage, modern fire apparatus, good sidewalks, and sub stantial public buildings. Now, with clean macadam streets, Dallas will eas ily take first rank among the beautiful and attractive towns of the Willamette Valley. And after our streets are improved, may it not be that we will lend a helping hand to our farmer friends in building good roads into Dallas from every direction? In con sideration of the loyalty of these neigh bors in wading through bottomless roads all these years to trade with our merchants, and in view of the greatly increased business that good roads would bring, Dallas can well afford to aid these farmers in building per manent thoroughfares by placing her road machinery at their disposal, or by selling rock tolbe county at a fig ure so low as to place the further use of worth less gravel out of the question. this year. The business men and cit izens of the county have contributed generously to the premium list and the Executive Committee, directed by County Superintendent Seymour, is sparing no effort to arouse interest and enthusiasm in the fair. Large posters advertising the exhibition will be off the press this week and will be given liberal distribution lo the var ious school districts of the county. Ships Fine Goats. U. S. Grant, the well-known breeder of registered Angora goats, made shipments of buck kids this week as follows: O. W. Cartwright, Sabinal, Texas, three; J. N. Ross, Sonora, Texas, four; Mrs. J. Maukina, Globe, Arizona, one; Walter Pitt, Andrews, Nebraska, one; J.C.Turner, Lyons ville, California, four; John Farmer, McMinnville, Oregon, one. The Grant stock is becoming famous In all parts of the United States, and the demand for these fine animals greatly exceeds the supply. BUSINESS LOCALS. Dr. Hayter. Dentist.

Barham has received a letter from Grinnell, Collins & Company, of Minneapolis, requesting the names of. apple raisers in this locality and say ing that they desire to purchase several carloads of first-class apples. Polk county has the apple raisers and the first-class fruit, and will have more of both within the next few years. Judging from the interest that is being taken by the farmers, it will not be long until the hills around Dallas will be one vast apple orchard. Found.' In Dallas, a small silver watch. Pay for this notice and apply to G. O. Grant. 8-27-tf Fir Wood Wanted. From 200 to 500 cords of dry fir wood wanted. Apply to Saletn, Falls City & Western Railway Co. An exchange says Senator Fulton is in favor of free locks at Oregon City. Well, let him get in and rustle for them In Washington next winter. He ought not to find the job a difficult one, since Ben Jones took half of the work off his hands at the last session of the Legislature. Here, also, i3 a chance forBr'er Hawley to rise and shine. It will be remembered that Hawley worked against the Jones bill, giving as his reason that he wanted to get the entire appropriation from Congress, but Jones evidently considered the job a little too hefty for a raw Congress man to tackle, and so split it in half with him. It is now up to the Oregon delegation to "make good" in Wash ington. In purchasing a rock crusher, which will require a considerable amount of money, it will be well for the city council to require a strict guarantee that the machine will do the work it is represented to do, and that it will have the proper wearing qualities. There are many grades of crushers on the market, eellinK at widely varying prices, and as none of the city officers are machinery experts, the interests of the people can be safe guarded only by requiring a strict guarantee of efficiency and lasting quality. If this Is done, no loss can result. The council owes this duty tc the taxpayers, and as the members are all practical business men, It is only fair to assume that proper pre caution will be exercised in the draw ing of the contract for the purchase of the machine.
