ronize Dallas people.
THE TIME TO BOOST.
Colonist rates to Oregon are now in
force and every day is bringing scores
of new people into this state. Indica
tions are that it will be the greatest
year for immigration in the history of
our state so far.
Among these immigrants there are
few who are not of the best type of
Americaus people who will prove
potent new energy in the development
of such localities as they choose to
make their homes. Their com in
means much for the state and much
for the communities in which they
dociile to settle and the majority of the
important cities of Oregon are
making an eager bid for the attention
Dallas deserves her share. She has
the inducements to offer. But unless
the people of Dallas take active efforts
to set forth those inducements, the tide
of Immigration will flow past, into
the other cities of the state, where
wise and energetic community adver
tisement has cut out a channel into
which it will naturally turn.
We have made a fine start in the
work of advertising this community
ana Its resources, but airoady the tide
Is upon us and it behooves us to work
fast and effectively to complete the
task wo have begun. Now is the time
to boost; to boost hard and to boost
unanimously.
Every new citizen of the right type
added to our population is a gain for
the whole community and every indi
vidual io the community should use
his or her lnfluonce in an energetic
and legitimate manner, to attract the
attention of immigrants of the right
class to Dallas.

Tt is astuniFliintr limv great a change a

women. The freshness, tlio charm, the
brilliance vanish lii.e the bloom from a
peach which ).; rudely handled. The
matron is only a uim shadow, a faint echo
of tho chai iui:,tx maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
tho shock to tho system through tho
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
tho unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing theclieci
of its freshness and the form of it
fairness.

Many Colonists Coming.
One week of colonist rates to Oregon
brought 1545 new settlers into the
state over the Harrlman lines alone
according to figures for the first week
of the special colonist excursions
received by the passenger department
of these lines. The first week of this
year shows an increase of 301 colon
ists over the first week of 1908 when
only 1244 colonist were carried.
According to the figures received
here Portland secured 275 colonists
last week ; the Willamette valley points
272; the remainder being scattered at
various Eastern Oregon points. The
new settlors are said to be an uncom
monly good class of people and to
constitute the most desirable type of
citizens. Most of them are Americans
from the middle western states. Port

The Polk County Poultry Associa
tion will hold a meeting in the Court
house, Saturday, for the purpose of
discussing plans f.jr the work of put
ting on the 1909 Poultry Show. All
who are interested in poultry, whether
members of the Association or not
are cordially invited to attend.
The following concerning a com
munieation from Mayor A. B. Muir,
of this city, was published in the
Salem papers last week :
"E. C. Mlntoo, of this city, is in
receipt of tho following letter from
A. B. Muir, mayor of the little city of
Dallas, Polk county, which deals with
the question of paving, one in which
Salem is vitally interested.
Mr. E. C. Minton, Salem, Or.
Dear Sir: Yours of the 9th re
ceived, and in reply would say that
the city owns its rock quarry, crusher
and road roller, and tho city operated
the crusher last summer and tho cost
of crushing was 65o per cubic yard,
and it cost 70c per yard to haul the
rock about three miles. The spread
ing and grading was done by the city
and on macadamizing nine blocks
the city did the work for $1000 less
than the lowest bid by any contractor.
I think it pays for a city to own its
own street making machinery and
operate the sarao. We expect to
macadamize about 18 or 20 blocks this
season. Your truly,
A. B. MUIR, Mayor.
