Entered as second-class matter March 1, 1907, at the post office at Dallas, Oregon, under the Act of. Con gress of March 8, 1879. DALLAS, OREGON, JULY 28, 1911. The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. 1 RAILROAD INSPECTS GRAVEL RECIPROCITY PLEASES HILL James J. Hill is one American citi zen of affairs who is pleased with the passage of the Canadian reciproc ity bill. He says this measure, in stead of proving harmful to the American farmer and the American manufacturer, will stimulate the trade of both countries. He sees no more reason for a line of customs houses along the Canadian border than for similar revenue-collecting stations be tween two states of this Union. But, in Mr. Hill's opinion, it is not what we have gained by reciprocity with our sister Nation, but what we have prevented, that is most important. He says: "In the comment on the treaty when it was pending, nearly every argument for it spoke of the good it would bring. But the good -it will bring is only the smaller considera- ion. What would happen if we had not passed the treaty? That is the Witt mioution Tliorn wmil,l linvo hnn a revival in Canada and England of a move for imperial federation and if we had refused to trade with our good neighbor, our second best cus tomer, and for our manufacturers, the best customer we have, we should have been very sorry for it in years to come, for the opportunity was be fore us to make a favorable agree ment with Canada, and it would not have been before us again for many years if we had refused it this time. ' ' That is why I say the treaty will mean much good for both the United States and Canada, and I believe that it will stimulate the trade of both countries, and that it will not be long before every one will see lis benefits and see' that the wise thing to do was to act favorably upon it. Yet, after all, that is the secondary part. lliere is not the slightest doubt that the sit nation was such that had the vote in the senate today been against it, the report would have gone over the world and would have stimulated ac tivities elsewhere for obtaining trade that properly belongs to us. "Will it hurt Canada f Not a bit of it. It will he of great benefit to Canada. There was never any reason why there should have been a line of customs houses along tlio Minnesota Montana-Washington border or the border of eastern Canada than there should be between Minnesota am Wisconsin or New York and Pennsyl vania. What has made the commerce of the United Stales so groat t The provision in our constitution that says that trade shall be free and un- trammeled between the states." Southern Pacific Officials Visit West Salem in Search of Ballast. Superintendent L. It. Fields and Master Mechanic T. W. Younger, of the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon, were in West Salem yesterday with their private car, inspecting the grav el situation. They examined the bar just above West Salem and later went on up the line of the Saltim, Falls City & Western road. The Southern Pacific -Company is putting in heavier steel on their west side lines and .hallasting them much heavier than they have been in the past, and all this requires a lot of gravel, The convenience for securing the. gravel from the bar above West Sa lem is such that it is probable that a deal will be made with the Salem, Falls City & Western company whereby the Southern Pacific can get all the gravel they need. A spur ruus from the main line of the a., l' C. & W. onto the bar, and the grade is such that a long train of cars can be loaded at onS time with a steam shovel and the tracks of the S. P. cross the S F. C. & W. at Der ry Junction, so that only a short haul would be necessary over lines not their own. Salem Statesman. TINY DEBT BRINGS ARREST Boy Finds Grandfather. The pathetic story from Salem re garding 10-year-old Ellis Greer, who had arrived alone in that city in search of his grandfatther, M C Mc- rarlane, was read with keen interest by many people in Polk County, who remember Mr. McFarlane as a resi dent of near Falls City a number of years ago. G. W. Mcliee, in speaking of him, recalled the fact that he had been a candidate for county superin tendent ef schools here something like 20 years ago. Later dispatches from Salem convey the glad news that the boy was claimed by Mr. Mc Farlane, and taken - to his home m Marion County, just across the river from Wheatland. Man Bent on Repaying Money Sue . cumbs to Temptation. TOLEDO, Or., July 25. Going a half mile out of his way to pay a debt of 15 cents caused Aiitone Triex, a logger, to be arrested and to serve a jail sentence of 30 days, according to his own story. Triex had been working for the Fir and Spruce Lum ber Company,of this place, for sev eral weeks prior to last Friday, when he quit and went to Newport. While at the beach he remembered having borrowed 15 cents from a fellow logger and decided to go by the logging camp on his way to Falls City from Newport and repay tlx loan. When he arrived at the Fir and Spruce camp the men were m the woods. He saw the tent of Ted Daniels, one of the loggers, standing oen and went in to ask for a drmk of water. Triex gave a vivid description of how one feels when tempted unex pectedly. He says he became so ex cited that he did not realize what he was about until he had gathered up a watch, gold ring, revolver, large knife, some money, a razor and some clothing, had the articles in a bundle and was making off up the hillside. On top of the hillside he sat down, all' out of breath, and thought about the 15 cents he owed and declares that he felt he must pay it. Just then the train bearing the loggers from the woods pulled into camp and An tone was frightened away. He was captured by Charles Blacketer, a Siletz Indian policeman, near Nor tons, as he was making for a train on the Corvallis & Eastern Railroad. . Your Winter's Wood.
