DALLAS, OREGON, DECEMBER 18 190 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. early history of Oregon and was the fouDder of Oregon City. In the old resilience, which is now threatened with destruction, he spent the latter years of his life and under its roof were entertained scores of famous men, whose lives and work have been closely Identified with the history of the founding and upbuilding of our state government. The cost of moving the building to a new location and renovating it would not be great and the movement for its preservation should not be made an affair of only local interest, but should be entered into by all of the native sons and daughters of: Oregon. PRESENTS GOOD SHOW THE POULTRY SHOW "Bigger and better than last year" is the expressed opinion of visitors to the second annual show held by the Polk County Poultry Raisers' Associa tion. If that be the case, the Show if certainly achieving the results for which it was instituted. To improve the quality of the poultry stock of Polk county, to lead to a more careful and scientific study and practice of poultry raising, to arouse a more widespread interest in this business and eventually make it one of the leading industries of Polk county, for these purposes the Poultry Raisers' Association was organized As the most effective means of inspiring the farmers and poultry breeders of the county to work toward those ends, the idea of holding a poul try show was suggested and one year ago the first annual show of the Polk County Poultry Raisers' Association was given. The show was held more as an experiment than anything else and many doubts were entertained as to the possibility of its success. In spite of those doubts however, it was a suc cess and the magnitudeof thatsuccess has been adequately measured only by the evidences of development in the second show which is now being held. During the past few years, two events each season have been noted with especial interest by people resid ing, not only in OregoD, but in many other states. Those two events were the annual Angora Goat Show and the School Childreus' Industrial Fair. Now the annual Polk County Poul try Show bids fair to rise to a like con dition of prominence in the interest of the people of the Pacific Coast, and such citizens of the East also as are Interested in the resources and pros pects of Oiegon. All this is well, for it is upon the interest aroused among people living in other places that a community must rely largely or the increase of immigration that brings growth and prosperity. For th it reism then the persons h) iiri) directing this enterprise deserve the hearty approv.il and cordial support and encouragement of every citizen of Polk county. Star Theater Increases Its List Attractions By Adding: Vaude ville Features. of The Star theater, which was opened in Dallas a few months ago, has grown until it has become one of the leading amusement features of the city. The manager has made arrange ments with oue of the largest film exchanges on the Pacific Coast to; secure the best and latest pictures that ! can be had, regardless of cost. j In addition to the moving pictures, : which have been heretofore the leading ! feature of the entertainments, the manager will run a series of first- class vaudeville attractions during the winter. A new stage is being built and everything fitted up in the best possible manner for tnis new feature of entertainments. The Teddy Bear Jubilee Singers are now giving programs to crowded houses. Although they have been giving nightly performances for early a week, the popular interest in their work apparently does not abate and every night they are greeted by fully as large an audience as on the previous evenings. The Jubilee Singers will give a: matinee Saturday afternoon, present-: ing the best entertainment for the price of admission charged that has ever been given in the city, the admis- sion for both the Jubilee Singers' j entertainmentand the moving pictures being only 10 cents. n i OUR SALE IS NO BLUFF If you- will come and get our prices you will be convinced that we are selling at cost and below.

Tbe housewife who has been Induced to buy a phosphate baking powder by grocers or canvassers will be some what chagrined to learn that this character of goods is made from burned bones mixed with diluted oil of vitriol. It seems that there Is no law com pelling these long shot boys to print tbe Ingredients on the can and hence the consumer Is easily deceived. Goods of this class cost very little to manu factureabout 3 or 4 cents per pound, not much more than the price of the bone or alum from which they are made. We find upon investigation, that tbe only real baking powder Is made from cream of tartar, soda, and a small per cent of starch to add to Its keeping qualities. All the good brands have the ingredients printed on the label. 19-lS-St i LAUNDRY OR DOCTOR BILLS It's up to youv We will save that doctor bill for you if you will only let us.
