tttE wish you a
VV Happy and Pros
perous New Year, and
take this occasion to
thank you for the gen
erous help you. have
given us that has' en
abled us to build our
business to what it is.
On November, 7 1903,
we began the Hardware
business with a total
stock of $2000 occupying
a floor space of 1000
square feet.
In January, 1905, we
added the plumbing and
tinning department to
our hardware business,
and on January 1, 1906,
added another depart
ment, that of furniture,
by the purchase of the
Kerslake stock. This
needing more floor space
we leased the entire
Kirkpatrick building,
which we now occupy
with the addition of a
large warehouse for each
department.
We now have a total
floor space of over 9000
square feet, over 9 times
the space we had in the
beginning. We now
employ regularly ten
people to look after this
business; five times as
many as we had in the
beginning, and we are
now doing more than
ten times the business
we did in 1904, and be
lieve that in 1908 we
will do 15 times as much
as we did in 1904.
You, our customers
have made our increased
stock possible, for which
we thank you, and
promise in the year 1908,
if we have your custom
it will be taken care of
in the same way that it
was in 1907.
Yours for a more pros
perous 1908.

vonraa Krebs Presides Over Dallas
Meeting and Makes Strong
Plea For Union.
The number of hop growers from all
parts of Polk county, who attended the
meeting of the Hop Growers' Assoc!
ation held in Dallas, Saturday, showed
that there has been no abatement of
interest in that movement which seems
destined to culminate in one of the
strongest and most extensive agricul
tural organizations in the United
oiaies. uonraa iireos, or salem, one
of the influential hop men of Oregon,
presided over the meeting, having
come to Dallas for the purpose of
explaining fully the workings of the
Pacific Coast organization, and if
possible, adding still more of the
names of Polk County growers to the
growing membership list of the Union
a. H. Petre, of Bridgeport, read the
by-laws of the Pacific Coast Hop
Growers' Union, and Mr. Krebs
explained fully each section as it was
read.
Mr. Krebs has made an exhaustive
study of these by-laws, knows every
point of strength or of weakness in
them, and is fully prepared to explain
them in the clearest manner possible.
His discourse, Saturday afternoon,
would have been of great interest to
anyone, whether personally interested
In hop growing or not, for it showed
more clearly than has ever been shown
the marvelous perfection of the
machinery of that organization which
is rapidly growing into definite form
and power in the three Pacific States.
Every objection or question offered
by those present at the meeting was
successfully met and answered by Mr.
Krebs and at the close of the session
many hop growers who had thus far
held out of the association, signed
their names to the by-laws and entered
into membership. H. G. Campbell,
secretary of the Polk County Associ
ation, has sent men throughout the
entire county with copies of the by
laws of the Union, and the member
ship now comprises practically all of
the Important hop growers. Simili r
progress is reported in the neighboring
counties of Oregon, and it is hoped
that the Pacific Coast Hop Growers'
Union will soon have become suffi
ciently strong to begin effective and
aggressive work with the commencing
of the next hop season.
Several of the young men of Dallas
have organized a skating club, and
will give a selectskating party to their
invited friends one evening of each
week.
Carl Williams, captain of the
Eugene skating basketball team, has
written to Dallas, his home town, to
secure a date for a game with the local
five which is playing under the man
agement of George Morton. Satur
day, January 18, was at first fixed
upon, but owing to the game already
scheduled between Dallas College and
Ashland Normal, an effort will be
made to transfer it to the preceding
night. Although basketball on skates
is necessarily much slower than when
played in the ordinary manner, the
skillful and accurate footwork
required and the graceful appearance
of the skaters atones for the lack of
speed and makes it a truly enjoyable
sport to both spectators and players.
The jury in the case of Krebs Hop
Company vs. T. A. Livesley & Com
pany returned a verdict for the
plaintiff for $GO0O Friday afternoon
after a deliberation of only 15 minutes.
The case arose over a difference in the
price of hops on October 15, 1907, and
the contract price agreed upon between
the two parties. In 1905, the Krebs
Hop Company contracted to deliver to
A. Livesley & Company 100,000
of hops each year for 5 years, at 1
cents a pound. After the delivery of
the first lot of hops in 1905, the price
fell and the law suit followed.
H. S. Butz, president of the Polk
County Horticultural Society, has
called a meeting of that association
for Saturday afternoon, January 18,
for the purpose of discussing and
taking final action upon the proposi
tion which will be submitted by the
committee recently appointed to work
on the cannery project. The work of
this session will be of vital importance
not only to the citizens of Dallas but
to those of the surrounding district,
and it is urged that all fruit growers
or persons interested in fruit growing
be present at this meeting.
Marshal Hubbard bewails the fact
that since he issued his edict that all
hoboes arrested in Dallas would be
put to cleaning sidewalks in future,
no hoboes have trusted themselves
within the city limits, and the task of
keeping the sidewalks in the business
portions free from mud falls back
upon the shoulders of the long suffer
ing servant of the law. The city's free
dom from vagrants during the past
three weeks seems therefore to have
both a light and a dark side to it.
Advice to Mothers: Don't let your

Sheep Raised on McCoy, Polk County
Farm Have No Superiors in
the World.
a negro once saw "When any one
says 'dinner' that means me." Like
wise when any one mentions the Lin
coin sheep ho must at least think of
C. L. Hawley. junior partner of the
firm of Hawley & Son, near McCoy
Oregon.
Mr. Hawley has earned the distinc
tiou of raising and exhibiting the
largest Lincoln lamb ever shown In
the United States, according to the
statement of the secretary of the
American Lincoln Association. This
lamb at 7 months and 25 days old
weighed 214 pounds, was well wooled
and good type, and was sold to William
Riddell & Sons to head their fine flock
of Lincolns. His sire is vet beincr
used by Mr. Hawley as a stud ram
and was grand champion at the St,
Louis exhibition as a yearling.
About 100 breeding ewes are kept by
Messrs. Hawley all the time and they
have just purchased ten Lincoln ewes
direct from Ontario, Canada. These
ewes are a part of the recent importa
tion of the A. A. Bates Sheep Com
mission Company, of which J. G. S
Hubbard of Hillsdale is the coast
agent. Mr. Hawley is well pleased
with them and expects to get 100 ewe
lambs from Canada in the spring.
They find that sheep raising and the
raising of clover seed go nicely to
gether. One crop of wheat is raised
and clover seeded with it; this is then
pastured with sheep until about June
1, and that fall a seed crop is harvested
They find it doesn't pay to leave it
stand more than two years but this
gives them three crops with but one
plowing, besides the sheep pasture. I
saw one 40-acre field that had been
pastured last spring till June 1 and
$1680 worth of clover seed threshed
from it the past fall.
Mr. Hawley thinks that the land In
Western Oregon can't be put to any
better use than the raising of Lincoln
sheep and clover with an occasional
crop of wheat when seeding the clover
However, he says that on land that is
not inoculated land that has never
raised clover it pays better to seed
the clover alone the first year for then
you will get a good stand, otherwise it
is doubtful. Pacific Homestead.
Successful School Meeting.
The School Officers,' Parents' and
Teachers' Meeting held in Falls City,
Saturday, was very successful and
made a most favorable beginning for
the series that is to be held in various
districts of Polk County in future.
The addresses were practical and to
the point, and the teachers and par
ents who were present showed great
freedom and Interest in the discussion
of the thoughts advanced by the
speakers of the day. Atthe noon hour
over 100 visiting school officers and
teachers were given a fine banquet in
the reception room of the schoolhouse.
Superintendent Seymour says that he
is highly satisfied with the success of
this meeting in arousing the enthusi
asm of teachers, parents and children
for the betterment of school conditions,
and he expects to see even greater
advances made at the meeting which
is to be held in McCoy next Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Mattison, of
Nebraska, are visitin g at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. JBoals.
David East, of Salt Creek, was
adjudged insane by County Judge
Coad yesterday, and was taken to the
State Insane Asylum by Sheriff J. M.
Grant last night.
Dr. W. H. Cumming, of Independ
ence, was a Dallas visitor Saturday.
He has retired from his business as a
veterinary surgeon in Independence
and will move his residence to Colfax,
Washington.
Conductor Crocker announces that
no stop will be made at the water tank
by the afternoon train in future, and
advises those who desire to take that
train to board it at the depot and
avoid the disappointment - of being
left behind.

Salem, Oregon
of
The basketball season In Dallas will
recommence Saturday evening after
a lapse of nearly a month, when the
home aggregation will meet the five
from the Ashland Normal. On the
preceding Dight (Friday) the college
team will play their third league
game for this season, against the
Salem Y. M. C. A. and the Dallas
"rooters" are preparing to send over a
bigger delegation than hasever before
Eupported the home team on a foreign
floor.
The Dallas team holds the dis
tinction of being the only undefeated
team In the Oregon League this sea
son, ana everything indicates an
Indefinite continuation of its unbroken
run of victories. Playing on a strange
court seems to have practically no
effect on the machine-like precision of
its team work, and the excellent
physical condition of each individual
player makes it possible to carry a
game either by speed . or by Bheer
muscular force, according to the tactics
adopted by the opposing team.
It Is highly probable that the
M. A. A. C. and the Portland Y. M. C. A
will be tied In the Northern division
of the league, and an effort will be
made to secure the deciding game of
the series for the Dallas floor. If this
is done, there will be practically no
break In the series of games played in
this city, from now until the end of
the season.
