YOU A Entered aa second- class matter March 1, 1907, at the post office at Dallas, Oregon, under the Act ol con' gress of March 3, 1879. Prizes to Winners of Knowledge Compe DALLAS, OREGON, JULY 21, Mil The way to build up Dallas is to pat- tition Will Be Awarded Tomorrow -Much Interest in Contest. rantet Dallas peoplt. RE MISSING IT Having a curiosity to know bow many of the Observer readers could crve the hrra names or Dallas busi ness houses merely by reading a list of the peculiar lines and brands of goods carried by each firm, the Ob server last week inaugurated what it was pleased to term a knowledge con test. Uut or the large number or an : swers received, it is surprising to learn the extent of the lack of famil iarity with these firms among the buying public. Although only nine teen business houses were advertised in this contest, and the lines of goods carried by each were carefully nam ed, not a single contestant sent m an absolutely correct list of firm names. It is noticeable that nearly every contestant named the liberal users of printer's ink. By persistent and intelligent advertising, these firms have made not only their names but the lines of goods they carry household words m every newspaper- reading family in Polk County. Firms, however, which have failed to advertise, or have used printer's ink but sparingly, evidently will have to give more attention to newspaper publicity if they would have the pub- , Jie become laminar with their names and the lines of merchandise they are offering for sale No merchant ever did, or ever will, achieve noteworthy success in building up his business without the aid of newspaper adver tising, How often one hears the whine that land in the Willamette Valley 76 too hitrh. and that there are no longer such opportunities lor a - , .. x'.ii ; .1 And yet, a Monmouth man clears $700 from a single acre of straw berries in one season. Another Polk County man holds the record of hav ing marketed $1300 worth of cherries from seven-eighths of an acre clear ing an even $1000 on the crop. The young man of today has opportuni ties that his father never dreamed of, And when you hear any person com plaining t'hat the price of Willamette Valley land is high, just remind him . that there is only one Willamette . Valley in the world. Land that will net Us owner from $700 to $1000 an acre in a single year is worth the price it is now being sold for1 and a much more. The Newborg Graphic thinks it sees in the unloading of heavy rails near Oswego a hopeful indication that the Southern Pacific Company is preparing to electrify the Yam hill division. The company is silent as to its plans, but the rumor is per sistent that such a change is contem plated Although the Hill interests are already operating between Port land and Forest Grove, and have purchased depot grounds in McMinn ville, residents of Yamhill, Polk and Benton County towns may yet make their first trolley trip to Portland on Southern Pacific cars It seems cer tain that one or the other of these companies will be operating electric lines in the upper west side of the Willamette Vulloy within the next year or two and there is plenty ot room lor both. Jonathan Bourne's announcement that he 'will neither canvass the state nor make any speeches in his cam paign for re-election to the Unititl States Senate, is the joke of the year. If Jonathan ever made a public po litical K)wech in this state, the writer does not recall it. If he ever shook hands with a farmer voter, praised housewife's biscuits, or kissed an Or egon bnby, history docs not record it. lie may enjoy a jx'ponal acquaint ance with one out of a hundred vot ers of his state, but we doubt it. In view of these conditions, Jonathan's announcement that ha will not visit us next year, will be received with ti-Bniiiility. To tell the truth, we hadn't been expecting him. .No. 1. Where do you get your money t Who brings it into the community? Answer, from the ex ports. What the county sends to the world is what returns money to the county, which in turn is distrib uted throughout the county.

The use of ceiling means that your walls won't shrink, the paper won't crack, the building will stay tight, warm in winter, cool in summer. All these benefits to be derived simply for the expense of a little more labor in lining the house. Patronize home industry, and the & Com pany. Who are we t Dallas Lumber & Logging Uom- pany.

No. 5. From the fulling of the giant fir in the mountains of West ern Oregon, through its metamor phosis in the mills and under the skilled hands of the artist and me chanic; till its finish in the form of an American home, the story ot the builders is one of inexhaustible inter est Through all its phases the mak ing of a home is a great and a tine art. Men who know what is best in construction, in selecting of mate rials, and in assisting of others to plan for themselves, men who can save the people money, men who can iclp the small home-builder, are HMiefaetora of the community iu which they . live. Polk County is fa- ored by having such men working within its borders, helping create, distribute and increase the wealth of all. For instance, this company of j men who sm'ciuli.e in assisting the lome-biiildcr, have harnessed t he water jxiwer of the county, have miles of logging road, employ eight or more donkey engines, besides bav- ng a big payroll in other enterprises. This, the Company, will help vou plan your home, will give you all the advice and assistance you need. The company then will do your mill work, see that everything is made as planned, and best ot all win do this work for you at prices that cannot help but give you satisfaction. One of their chief aims is to suit the pocket book of the small home- builder. The chief element of pat riotism today is the patronizing of home industries.

Coolest theatre in town. Best ventilated theatre in state. Spotlight songs and tableaux a specialty. The best male singer in this part of the West. What is the name ? The Grand. No. 10. "To illumine the streets or not to illumine" that is the ques tion. Only, there's no question but what they will be illumined. First impressions often convince the pros peclive investor more than persuasive arguments The traveler gains his impressions from the city's streets, and remembers best the glittering vistas of brilliant Broadway No progressive city can afford to be without adequate, artistic illumina tion. The idea has swept the coun try. Cities everywhere are asking themselves the ' question: "Why don't we have a Great White Way?" and merchants are banding together to install special display street lighting, purely to promote better business. Anything that tends to increase the trallic on a business street, and brings the people out on the sidewalks m the evenings, means better business for the merchants, with a resultant inlluence on prop erly values. W e choose the bright and cheerful street, and where we walk we spend our money. Civic pride is the surest step toward bet fer municipal government. Anything which adds to the general attract iveness of the city excites interest in its affairs, and fosters public spirit and civic pride. Every citizen hould be able to "Point With Pride" to his own city; but how shall he do this when he sees such a deficiency as poor public lighting? Public lighting is a thing of so con spicuous and evident a nature that there is no escaping the odium of an unfavorable comparison -Light up, and keep lighted up. This company is willing to assist in every way pos- ible. W e appreciate the patronoge of the public and shall continue do ing all we can to deserve your good will. An electric fan is .a mighty comfortable thing to have around these hot days. And surprisingly cheap to own and run, too. Ask us about them. Now, you know us, surely; hut don't forget about our ornamental street lighting proposi tion. Oregon Power Company.
