DALLAS, OREGON, January 22, l9 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronise Dallas people. A paraphrase "Quoth the Republi can legislator 'Nevermore.' " The Senatorial election off their hands, the unfortunate Legislature now has nothing with which to occupy itself but business. Some examples of human depravity in its meanest and most contemptible form were noted when a number of persons went out in the vicinity of Independence during the snow storm and slaughtered wholesale, quails and pheasants, which were starving and half frozen and which certain public spirited persons were endeavor ing to save from destruction by scattering food for them that had been secured by means of public subscriptions. A POLITICAL ELEGY. BT DEAN COLLINS. The roll call sounds the knell of part ing hopes. The pledged men take the medicine they earned The disappointed lobbyist elopes And George at last, hath that for which he yearned. 'Neath the domed roofs of legislative balls, Where heaves the air in superheated waves, Within the Senate's, and the House's wails, Our fond, fond hopes marched grandly to their graves. Full many a scheme of shrewd and iell intent. The lobby and the secret conclave bore. In deep design full many an hour was spent. To weau the pletiged niru from the swear they swore. Mayhap upon that sore, misguided band That formerly the potent Statement signed Some mute inglorious Archbold tried bis hand, But could not get his forces all alined. How bitterly despised a draught was it. By which the Great Non-partisan natn tnrivea Despite our hopes, our prayers, we must admit SPUDS WISE TALKS BY M. D. ELLIS . OFFICE BOY, "Some men were born for great things, Some men were born for small, Some, 'tis not recorded, why they were born at all. Well, that's pretty near the candy all right. I'll bet vou could ask lots of fellows you know what they intend ed making out of themselves and they eouidn t tell you. Honest, some fellows don't know whether they were born or whether they just grew.

"Here rests our head upon the lap of oly f the ground up and tl pHI.th I know 1 11 make a success of it j By dealings, foxy, devious and dark, The" Great Non-partisan has proved his worth, The first gun in the renewal of the old normal school battle that has so long vexed the legislative bodies of Oregon, was fired Tuesday, by Repre sentative Jones, of Host-burg, wno introduced a bill providing that the Ashland and Monmouth schools be abolished acd the Drain and Weston schools continued under the names of the Western and Eastern Oregon State Normal schools. He would have the state board of education dispose of the buildings and grounds of the other two schools and have the pro ceeds turned into the high schools or back into the general educational funds. While arguments galoro are being advanced to the support of the proposed measure, if the case be arg ued solely on the merits of achieve ment, the old pioneer Normal at Mon mouth can showa record before which the other Normal schools will be obliged to stand aside and admit the superior strength of her claim to continuance.

"We took our medicine and did fullfil The Statement, that did erstwhile so entice, We took our medicine, for good or ill But darned if we will down the same dose twice!" dollar little Willie knows what he's going to make out of himself.

Say, have you noticed the tine spuds we are selling and they did not get frozen either. Each and every one is a full grown healthy potato, and guaranteed to contain just the right amount of starch, and not too much "aqua."! "At,ua" is latin for water. Gee, ain't I getting flossy?" WILLIE POLK. G. Stump, of Liberty, was a visitor here Monday. G. H. Robbins will plaut several acres of strawberries next spring. Mr. and Mrs. Hill, of Portland, are visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Robbins. The Fall sown crops near Polk were only slightly damaged by the recent freezing weather. J. A. Becker left last week for his home in American Falls, Idaho, after a short visit in this neighborhood. The recent snow storm caused the death of large numbers of wild birds which were cut off from their food supply. The people living in the vicinity of Perrydale were greatly troubled last week by a coyote that was killing their sheep and pigs. Wanted. Representatives in this vicinity, male or female.

It is the first lesson the party In this state needs tocure it of its political lax ity in political affairs. With Chamber lain, a Democrat, in the Senate, Ore gon can make up its mind hereafter to play a very miuor part in National aflairs at Washington or else get wise ' m.: iv. .M..iim..uih. n.uA a. tu.; to the importance of quitting its flirt-' l"r m. , ... auuu wiui p'jiiwcausms ana get aown to straight-out party activity. In our opinion, the election of Chamberlain to the Senate will prove the most valu able lesson to Oregon Republicanism it has ever had." BUSINESS LOCALS.
