RAPID PROGRESS ON ROADBED
Work on Grade of Salem Railroad
Extension More Than Half
Finished.
Track laying on the Salem extension
of the Dallas & Falls City Railroad
will commence in about 10 days, if
expected switch material shall arrive
promptly on time. Steel rails for a
goodly portion of the 14-mlle extension
are already on the ground in Dallas;
several thousand ties are seasoning
on the Willamette Valley Lumber
Company's yard, and active construc
tion of the track awaits only the
arrival of the material necessary to
make connection with the main line
in this city. ..
General Manager Louis Gerlinger,
Jr., who has supervision of all the
construction work, informs the Obser
ver that the grading gang working
from the Dallas end has already
reached Derry five and one-half
miles out and that two. miles of
grade on the Salem-Eola division is
now ready for the ties and rails.
Forty teams are working on the grade.
Manager Gerlinger says there is no
difficulty in securing men and teams
and that the earth work will be rushed
to early completion.
Rapid progress is being made in the
construction of the bridge over the
LaCreole river on the Brunk farm
This is the only bridge of importance
on the line. The company's pile driver
will be taken to the Pierce Biggs farm
on the river today or tomorrow to be
used in constructing a trestle.
While the chief activity thla spring
is on the Salem extension, the com
pany is making more substantial im
provements on the Dallas-Black Rock
division than during any preceding
year. Heavy earth fills are being
made at several points between Falls
City - and Black Rock, and several
sharp curves on the Lee hill near
Dallas are being cut out. The treaties
on the south side of the hill are being
replaced with earth and rock and the
heavy grades materially reduced.
This improvement will greatly facili
tate the handling of the logging trains
on the Dallas division. With the
addition of these improvements on the
main line and the completion of the
U-m lie extension to Salem, the Polk
County line will present one of the
finest examples of modern railroad
construction to be found in the Pacific
Northwest '
EXHIBIT IS FINISHED
Pupils of Dallas Public School Will
Have Fine Display at Seattle
Exposition.
The display selected from the ex
hibit which the pupils of the Dallas
public school have prepared tor the
Alaska-Yukon-Paciflo Exposition, has
been attracting a large number of
interested persona about the window
of Stafrin's drugstore, where it has
been shown since Tuesday afternoon.
The papers, which fill both of the
show windows, represent only about
one-tenth of the entire exhibit, but are
so selected as to give a comprehensive
idea of the nature of the whole exhibit
from which it is taken.
An average of five studies from each
grade are represented in the exhibit
as it, will be made up when entered at
the big Exposition. On each of the
subjects from 20 to 25 pupils have
prepared papers. This will make the
total number of papers comprised in
the exhibit range somewhere between
1000 and 1500.
The display' at Stafrin's said by the
teachers to be a fair type of the entire
exhibit, is extremely well prepared
and reflects great credit upon both the
teachers and the pupils. It Is doubt
ful if there will be many other exhibits
entered in which a standard of excel
lence uniformly so high has been
prepared.
The Dallas entry will be sent to
Portland in a short time and placed
In the hands of R. F. Robinson, who
is to have charge of the assembling
and care of the educational exhibit
from Oregon at the big Fair this
summer.
Another excellent feature of the Dal
las public school's entry is the fact
that nearly all of the work deals with
Dallas and Polk county to a large ex
tent, outlining in an attractive man
ner its resources, its industrial devel
opment and agricultural wealth.
Thus, in this exhibit, Dallas will
send to the Seattle exposition a com
prehensive and convincing collection
of material which while it shows to a
good advantage the advancement and
efficiency of our public school system,
will also convey to all visitors at the
Fair who examine it, an excellent
advertisement of our city and our
county.

cleaner and are prepared to do

Dear Sir: We desire to call your attention to our
special EricKsoiVs Patent Exterminator Cartridge for
the wholesale extermination of all Burrowing Pests.
DIRECTIONS FOR USING
For Squirrels, Pocket Gophers, Moies, Rats, Rabbits, Coyotes and Wolves,
or anylhing that burrows underground: Light the fuse and quickly put the car
tridge in the hole, burning end foremost. Then completely cover the mouth of
the hole so that no gas can escape, being careful to insert the cartridge far
enough into hole, that covering may not interfere with the cartridge doing its
work successfully. If smoke is seen issuing from any holes leading from burrow
in which cartridge has been placed, close such holes immediately, to retain the
poisonous gases, thus killing all pest life which remains buried underground.
By systematically going over the ground and seeing that burrows are
occupied before using the cartridges, the district that is being treated will be
cleared of the animals at a minimum cost, and doing away with the evident
danger that attends the use of poisons such a3 strychnine, etc Insert a cartridge
in all holes that smoke does not come out of after cartridge has been burned in
the ground. ' " . , , .
For Pocket Gophers and Moles, dig down to his mam channel, msert one
cartidge each way, and cover holes as before.
CHEAPEST METHOD ever invented for doing away with one of the
heaviest sources of loss of money to the agriculturist.
