A big flood, run in the Rlckreall last Sunday, brought down a large number of logs from the camps in the mountains to the millpond of the Dal las Lumber Company's sawmill.

Jennings, who was to have spoken on the subject of prohibition at the Courthouse last night, was compelled to dispense with his address, owing to the smallness of the crowd that turned out to hear him.

THE BEE HIVE STORE l-O.O.F.Buildin - - Dallas. Oregon Marsh Simpson, the famous Elk City fisherman, was in town yesterday, en route home from the annual pilgrim age to the home of his mother in Polk county. At the advanced age of 93, the mother still lives on the donation land claim on which the family settled in 1845. She keeps herown house, and is active and sprightly for one who has seen so many winters come and go. On the farm still stands the little log cabin, built In 1846, and occupied by the family until a new home was built in 1866. The latter, after many years, was replaced by a still more pretentious structure, and all three stand in close proximity, reflecting the history, not only of the Simpson's in the locality, but of all Oregon. Another temporary log cabin that sheltered the family during the winter of 1845-6 disappeared long ago, and is all that is lacking to make the history oomplete, since the land was reclaimed from the shiftless red man. Corvallls Times. Outlook Not Encouraging. Prices of mohair and wool have declined heavily on account of a gen era I s b u t do wn by m a n u f actu rers 1 n the East. Local dealers in mohair have made several sharp cuts in prices on very reoent telegraphic advices from the East It will be of Interest no doubt to compare prices of past years with the present. In 1897 the Polk county (Oregon) pool sold at 21$ cents; in 1901 at 22 oonts ; in 1902, 25 cents, and since that prices have been higher. Last year prices ranged from 30 to 31 cents. This year 25 cents was freely offered and paid at the beginning, but today 20 is the prioe to dealers f. o. b. cars at shipping points. Wool is also lower. Pacific Homestead. County Clerk E. M. Smith issued license to wed to James D. Hubbard and Mlse Ruth Guy, and to Edward Kane and Miss Margaret Harned, last week. W. G. Henry died at his home near Falls City yesterday morning, his death being caused by aoute pulmo nary tuberculosis. He moved with his family to Dallas from Dayton a few months ago,- and after a short residence here, he once more moved his home, settling near Falls City. Mr. Henry was about 45 years of age, and is survived by his wife and two children. At the meeting of the city council last night, claims amounting to $335.43 were allowed, $50 being voted for the Free Library fund. The first steps were taken toward having the sidewalk between Dallas and the Odd Fellows' cemetery repaired and widened so as better to accommodate pedestrians. It was also decided to advertise for bids on the work of macad amizing several of the more import ant streets of Dallas. S. P. Kimball, president of the can nery company, has let the oontract for the construction of a substantial house in a grove at the top of one of the hills on his land In Polk county directly west of North Salem.

ITS "23" FOR THE SECONDS . nnrrr Pa says, "A good cook, a good wife and a good Job will make a good home anywhere." Lots of men who are used to getting one dollar's worth of food for a five-dollar bill down town, expect their wives to get five dollars' worth of groceries for a one-dollar bill and save the change toward buying their cigars. There's no plaoe in the town where you can make your money go any farther in buying groceries of first quality than at Loughary's. The boss never buys what Is called the "second cut" of anything. If any article Is shipped to us and upon examination it fails to stand the most searching test, the boss comes up with the marking pot and writes "33" on the package and back It goes to the shipper.

VanOrsdel, candidate for County Judge of Polk County, Oregon, on the Democratlo ticket, to be voted for at the primary on tbe 17th of April, 1908, submits the following platform : First I will advocate good roads and a fair distribution of the road tax. It is not just to collect taxes from the outlying districts, and not give the taxpayer his share of tbe road work to make It more convenient for.him to reach market Second. No waste of publlo money ; strictest economy consistent with a good administration of county affairs; a square deal and good treatment for every one. Third.

Fifth, I believe In tbe Direct Pri mary. I think this Is one of the agencies In tbe hand of each elector to bring the government nearer to the people, and take it out of the "boss rule," giving us "a government of the people, by tbe people and for the people." I will say la conclusion that I served the people of this county from 1S98 to 1901 as sheriff, and you can look into soy. record, and If found wanting, you can turn me down the lima as you should any man that was unfaithful In bis trust J.
