Entered as second-clam matter March 1, 1907, at the post office at Dallas, Oregon, uuder the Act of Congress of March 8, 1879. DALLAS, OREGON, APRII 27, 1909 The way to build up Dallas ts to pat ronize Dallas people. With the month of April still nearly an Inch "shy" of the normal amount of rainfall, last nights showers which fell Id practically every section of the Willamette Valley, while they lacked considerable of being enough to bring the month up to its standard, will be worth thousands of dollars to fanners and horticulturists. Every drop that fell may be regarded as almost worth Its weight In silver, as subsequent' harvests will show. DROP LOCAL OPTION CASES District Attorney Upon Request of Anti-Saloon League Decides To Discontinue Prosecution. Actual packing operations will be begun in the Swift plant in Portland in July and with the beginning of these operations, stock raisers will awaken to the fact that they are faced by a demand for bogs, which will, for a time at least, be beyond their power to supply. With this demand con fronting them, the industry will undergo a sudden and important rev olution and the raising of swine, here tofore pursued by farmer mainly as a side issue in their agricultural work, will shortly develop into one of the most important industries and most fruitful sources of wealth to the farm ing man, in the state. H. IX Staats, of Lewisville, was a visitor in Dallas, Saturday. D. J. Riley went to Portland this afternoon on a business visit. H. W. Bancroft, of Fails City, was a visitor in Dallas yesterday. George Morton left this aftt-rnoon for an extended stay in Seattle. Mrs. Eugene Byerley returned this morning from a visit in Salem. Fritz Gerlinger will leave tomorrow for a three months' visit in Germany. Willis Simonton is quite ill and has been confined to his room for several days. Miss Cecil Blessing went to Port land this afternoon for a few days' Visit. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Caldwell, of Perrydale, were visitors in this city today. D. D. Goode came in from Pedee, Friday, for a short business visit in Dallas. At the request of the Anti-Saloon League, the District Attorney has decided to drop the local option cases, 'two of which were tried last week and resulted in mistrials and six of which (one a retrial) were set for hearings to begin today. In explanation of their movement to have the prosecution suspended, the representatives of the Anti-Saloon League stated that the first two cases has resulted in mistrials and there was every indication that the outcome i of the remaining cases would be the same. They were therefore unwilling to subject the taxpayers of the county j to the heavy expense of carrying on J a series of prosecutions which seemed I almost certain to be without satisfac tory result. District Attorney Sibley made his formal announcement Saturday to Oscar Hayter, the attorney for the defense in the six cases yet untried, that the prosecution had decided to drop them. Nursing Mothers and Over-burdened Women In all stations of lifo, whose vigor and vitality may have been undermined and broken - down by over -work, exacting; sociul duties, the too frequent bearing of children, or other causes, will find in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription the most potent, Invigorating restorative strength giver ever devised for their special bene fit.

A pleasant surprise party was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Phillips, Saturday night in compli ment to Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Reynolds land son, Willis, who left Dallas this I week for their new home iD Marion county. About 50 guests were present and the evening was spent in a delightful social manner, a delicious luncheon being served during the evening. The Hillsboro mohair pool, con taining about 5,556 pounds, was sold Monday to A. J. Ray & Son, of Port land, at 24 cents. The hair was of fine quality and the price received Is really the top of the market, although some stress is laid by Polk county papaio uu tue zo ceuis receiveq ror tne pool of that county, where it is said that notwithstanding the higher figure owners netted the same amount as the Hillsboro pool, as the half cent above the local price was absorbed as com mission by the manager. Hillsboro Independent. The Polk County pool aggregated about 77,000 pounds (something like 15 timos the size of the Hillsboro pool) the share put in by a single mohair raiser being, in many cases, nearly as great as the entire pool sold In Wash ington county last week. While It should be a comparatively easy matter to secure a small pool of sufficiently excellent quality to warrant the highest market price, a pool the size of the one receutly sold in Polk County, which is uniformly excellent enough to command such a price, is something out of the ordinary and is worthy of having considerable stress laid upon it. Sheriff J. M. Grant was an official visitor in the Buena Vista neighbor hood today. M. B. Grant visited over Sunday with his wife who is under medical care in McMinnville. W. H. Dancy, of the Pacific Tele phone Company, was over from Salem today for a short business visit in Dallas.
