SUCCESS IS ASSIIRRED
Prominent Physician of Dallas Says
Hospital Is Past Experiment
Stage.'
Looking upon green fields and
cloudless skies as we dow are, the pic
ture of Niagara river choked with ice
jams which threaten at any time to
break and carry destruction to the
dwellers along its banks, possibly
even to destroy the gigantic Niagara
Falls, which have remained appar
ently unchanged as far back as man's
memory runneth such a picture
seems almost inconceivable.
The size of the Polk county mohair
pool for 1909, between 75,000 and
80,000 pounds, proved a surprise even
to the experienced mohair men of the
county, whose estimates before the
pool was weighed in fell fully 20,000
pounds below that figure. Compared
to this enormous pool other mohair
pools sold recently in the state, appear
insignificant. The Angora goat still
holds supremacy in the industries of
Polk county and ranks enviably high
in the commercial interests of the
entire state, nor does it seem likely,
according to this year's figures, that
he will soon be dethroned.
Many large aeais in real estate are
being made in this county and in this
immediate vicinity of late, as is
shown by the records in the office of
the county clerk. Indeed there is
every indication of a more active sea
son in that line of business than has
been experienced for years. This is a
good sign for the prosperity of the
community. A still better sign is the
fact that the purchasers of real estate
In this locality, seem to buy with a
view to carrying on extensive im
provements which will not only
enhance the value of their newly
acquired property, but will add
materially to the commercial and
industrial wealth of the community.
The big purchases of real estate this
year seem Invariably to be precursors
of a division of large tracts into small,
which in turn means an increased
population, bringing into the country
Dew Industries and new workers and
ultimately a new era of advanced
prosperity. j
Dr. A. B. Starbuck reports favorable
progress in the work of arranging for
the establishment of an up-to-date
and modernly equipped hospital in
the Craven building on Church and
Academy streets, which was recently
purchased for that purpose by Mrs.
Charles Gregory of this city.
'Even as things now stand" he
said, "the enterprise is already past
the experimental stage. The support
from the mills and lumber companys
of the county will be sufficient at least
to Insure the permanence of the insti
tution and with the liberal support
which we confidently expect to receive
from the up-to-date and progressive
people of Dallas, we will be able to
equip it in a thoroughly efficient
manner.
"A call will be made upon the
churches, business people and citi
zens in the near future and, knowing
that they fully appreciate the benefit
that the city will derive from it, we
confidently expect a hearty and sub
stantial response.
ilie building, which in its present
arrangement is not entirely suited for
hospital purposes, will be renovated
and its interior remodelled. A sur
gery will be built in addition to the
house as it now stands, and this will
be equipped with the very best instru
ments and furnishinhs that can be
procured, so that that department of
the hospital work will be second to
none. Uatos, dressing rooms, etc..
will be added as the growth of the
institution and its needs justify.
"It is our aim to prosecute the pre
liminary work as fast as possible and
have the new hospital ready for use
during the early part of May if it can
be accomplished. The demand in this
locality for such an institution has
become almost imperative and cannot
be met too early."
Dallas vs. Portland Maroons.
The Maroons, one of Portland's
fastest semi-professional teams will
line up against the local baseball
nine in this city Sunday afternoon,
the game to be called at 3 o'clock
sharp. The Dallas team will be in its
very best trim Sunday and the game
is certain to be an exciting one.
Bowen, the famous "southpaw"
pitcher, will be in the box for the
locals. A special train from Black
Bock and Falls City will bring a big
crowd of fans from those two places
and the attendance bids fair to be the
"biggest ever." The train will leave
Black Book at 1 :15 and Falls Citv at
30. Returning it will leave Dallas
at 8:00 o'clock sharp. Bound trip
tickets from Black Bock will cost 75
cents and from Falls Cltv 50 cents.
Round trip tickets from Monmouth
and Independence on the motor line
will cost iO and 55 cents respectively.

Warns Against Sisal Rope.
U teuton, one of the largest
buyers in the local wool market, warns
wool growers against the use of sisal
roi-e or common binding twine in pre
paring their wool for the market. The
'astern buyers make a heavy cut in
prices allowed for wool prepared In
this way owing to the fact that the
nlr of the r.fie becomes mingled
with the wool and materially impairs
it value. Cotton twine such as is
commonly uw-d in training hops
ao8wrs lb-; purpose and works no
injury to Ihi wool stock.

A large crowd representing the con'
gregations of all the churches of Dal

church, Tuesday oigbt, on the occa
sion of the reception of welcome given
to Rev. Spahr, the newly appointed
Methodist pastor, and his family. A

their greetings to their new co-worker.
After the close of the program the

a pleasant social manner.
Marrs Property Changes Hands.
M. W. Wilkins, a prominent real
estate dealer of Portland, was in
Dallas yesterday on a business visit.
Mr. Wilkins has purchased the
property of Rev. W. P. Marrs in the
southwestern suburb of Dallas. He
purposes to divide the property into
lots, open up streets and lay side
walks and other improvements and to
dispose of It to residence seekers. The
land is situated ideally for such pur
poses and Mr. Wilkins' project will do
doubt met with signal success. Mr.

We do not claim to be perfection
