The merchants, without exception, want the improve ment, and It Is believed thatu majority of the property-owners are in favor of it. Opinions differ slightly as to how much navintr should be done at first, but all agree that not less than five blocks should bo improved as a becinning. This would include three blocks on Main street, oneon Mill, and one on Court. It is believed that if a start were once made on these blocks, the adjacent property-owners would not rest content until Main street had been paved from Academy hill south to the public school building, and possibly those portions of Church and Washington streets leading down from the Southern Pacific depot. The city has already purchased a rock-crusher, and tho council is nego tiating for tho purchase of a 12-ton Bteam roller. With these two machines already owned by the city, and with a plentiful supply of rock close at hand, a largo portion of tho expense of pav ing would be eliminated, as It would be possible for tho city to supply cer tain necessary labor and material at aotual cost to tho property-owners, thus saving the profit a contractor would bo obliged to charge to cover tho purchase of rock and thouseof his crusher and roller. Tho subject of street paving is one that Is worthy of the serious consider ation of every citizen of Dallas. The town has passed tho village stage, and Is destined to become ono of the live cities of tho Willamette Valley, in fact, it Is already so rated, and it has only begun to grow. Waterworks, sewerages, electric lights, good public buildings all of the municipal Improvements It has, excopt pavod stroets. Paving is tho next improve ment to bo considered, and tho city may as well face tho problem now. It is truo that paved streets are expensive, looking at tho matter only In the light of first cost. Tho cost of construction, however, fades into the background, when one considers the increased value in property that would be sure to follow. This increase in valuation would inoro than pay the cost of tho Improvement, and the property-owner would 11 ml his paving a paying investment. This has been tho experieneo of every city that has paved its streets. Nothing could bo done to advertise Dallas more right at tho present time than to pavo a few blocks in the busi ness district. Eugene is just now carrying on an extensive paving im provement, and Eugene is tho most talked-of town in Oregon. Tho fame of her wiile-awako business men and citizens is being spread by every trav eling man, tourist and newspaper in tho Northwest, and the city is growing by leaps anil bounds as a result. Some thing like live blocks vvoro contem plated in the original paving ordi nance, but once tho work was begun, tho people caught the spirit of tho im provement, and now X, blocks aro to be paved. The OnsKitvuu hopes that the busi ness men of Dallas will start a cam paign for paved streets, and never eeaso until the woik Is actually under way. "Paved streets for the business district, ami cru-Jied rock streets for the residence section" should be the slogan. Dallas led the way in install ing a rock crushing plant in Polk county : sue led in securing a gravity water supply and a system of city sew erage. It is now up to her to load every town in Oregon of like size by paving her business thoroughfares. Lane County Is now planting cher ries on an extensive scale and will compete with 1'oln anil Waseocounties for the honor of bring the leading cherry-growing county of tho state. Kural Northwest. The New England dinner, given at j the Woodman Hall last evening forj tho benefit of the Dallas Free Library, a social and financial success Fully 350 tickets were sold, and the banquet hall on the first floor of the lodge building was crowded iroin j .-ju to 9 o'clock. An old-fashioned aew England supper, prepared by tne women friends of the library, was served and greatly appreciated by all. Young women in Priscilla costume were the waiters. Upstairs in the main auditorium, a pleasant social time was enjoyed by the large crowd. A concert on a $100 Victor talking machine added greatly to the pleasure of the merry throng. This splendid instrument was kindly furnished. by the Eilers Piano House, of Portland, and was accompanied by a representativeof the firm. The care fully selected program was made up of classical and popular music, and every ntimlwr was received with favor. Tin. kindness of tho Portland music house in doing so much to help the library is greatly appreciated by the Librarian and the peoplo of Dallas. The crowd last night was very much larger than had been expected, only 150 tickets having been sold up to iwerrtji v noon. Over 200 tickets were sold at the door, and a lino of people reaching far out into the street waueu patiently and good naturedly for their turn at the table. Such an immense crowd was entirely unexpected, and the management's only regret is that provisions were not made for feeding more people. Mrs. George T. Gerlinger, who plan ned the benefit, the women who assisted in the committee work, and all who contributed money and cooking for the dinner are entitled to the warmest thanks of the people for their good work in behalf of the city's most use ful institution. The money taken in last night will immediately be given back to the public in the shape of val uable and entertaining books for the library shelves. The annual benefit is rapidly increasing in popularity, and will hereafter be looked forward to as one of tho leading social ovents of tho year.
