DALLAS, OREGON, AUG. 8, 1911,
The way to build up Dallas is to pat
ronise Dallas people.
BRIGHT DAYS AHEAD.
That a new era of prosperity is
dawning for Dallas and Polk county
is assured by the news that J. K.
Arrasby Company will locate their big
prune packing plant in this city and
that work on its construction will
befrfn at once and be rushed to com
pletion to care for the fall crop of
this locality. The story of the loca
tion of this institution in this city,
which The Observer prints today, is
one of the best pieces of news that
has appeared in these columns for a
long time.
Best, because it points to the up
building of Dallas and also, because
it is evidence that Polk county is the
center and the home of the prune in
dustry and is so recognized by this
large company who made a thorough
investigation of the state before de
ciding to locate their plant here.
The securing of this plant marks
a bright page in the history of the
Dallas Commercial club, and of the
live, enterprising boosters who com
pose that organization. When once
the needs of the proposed institution
were learned, and the fact becamo
apparent that the plant would coine
if the proper inducements were of
fered, the club lost no time in cinch
ing the deal and closing negotiations
with' the promoters. Quick work
marked every move of the club and
the establishment of the big plant
was the result.
This is only another evidence of
the value of a live commercial organ
ization to any community. Such in
stilution may, jf it is composed
of the right sort of individuals, exert
a wonderful good for any locality
and the forward movement of many
cities dates from the time that .their
commercial organization came into
being and really took up the labor of
building a city.
The Observer is not in favor of
"booms" as such are generally
known but it is strong for develop
ment and progress. The calm, con
servative community, wins in the
long race for supremacy but, while
there is danger in lnllaled values and
wildcat promotion schemes, there is
also the menace of over-conserva
tivcness. No position is more inse
cure than the belief that any ' city
will glow anyway," both by reason
of its natural advantages and the
other inducements with which nature
lavishly provided it. Communities
that are content to await rIow devel
opment, without any effort on their
part to promote growth will generally
awaken some day to find out that
more enterprising neighbor has out
stripped Miem in the race tor commer
cial supremacy.
Hallux, situated in the center nt a
country rich in natural resources,
and surrounded by thousands of acres
of wealth-producing soil, is bound to
prosxr. All the knockers in Christen
dom cannot prevent. But the measure
of that growth will be hastened only
by the public spiritedness of its citi
zens and a combined endeavor to pro
mote the welfare of the community.
Dallas has enjoyed a steady growth
in the past that has kept the city
clear from questionable Schemes.
Her people have usually worked to
gether fur the common good and the
result has been beneficial. But, as
the yearn go by, and new people and
new institutions which come with the
growth of the country, seek locations,
Dallas must not be content to dccud
too much UKm her environment. Irt
the Commercial club keep up its good
oik and let that organization con
tinue to have the moral and financial
Mipjwirt of every loyal citizen and the
future of Dallas m awtim!.

simply build around it, and the result)
has made Ashland widely known.
Save the shade trees. Nature has
done much for the dweller in the
beautiful Willamette valley towns jn
this regard, and the inhabitants can
render no greater sen-ice to them
selves and to posterity than to safely
guard the trees from vandalism.
There is considerable discussion
just now as to the center of popula
tion of the United States. That
doesn't bother most folks The center
of equilibrium is what appeals to peo
ple who are doing their best to make
Polk county hopyards famous.
Good Roads Will Solve
High Cost of Living
"It may appear strange that
newspaper man must eat) and wear
clothes," says a valued exchange: To
some that -would appear strange, a.tl
right, but to a fellow who has bepn
next to the newspaper business for
about umpty-seven years, it lsn t at
all wonderful. He will work up an
appetite for old clothes as that otten
is the only diet available. He may
occasionally eat his own words by
way ot a variety to his every-dav
provender.
The argument that a law is good
but should be repealed because it can
not be enforced, should not bo taken
seriously, and the men who voice such
contention will tie usually found re
ally opposed to the law. If a good
law is not enforced the trouble usual
ly lies with the .officials who are sup
posed to see that the laws are obeyed.
When they fail, or refuse to do their
sworn duty, it is time that men who
will nil their offices as they should be,
are selected.
When 100 acres of Polk county soil
yields the owner a net profit of $40,
000 for one .year's outlay of labor
and capital, it would seem that the
prices asked for such land, even if
big, as charged by some, is still no
where near its actual value, as a
wealth producer. Land in the Middh
Western states that is sold for $100
per acre, and which can only produce
30 or 40 bushels of wheat or oats, is
not in the same class and such larid
often brings the above figure and even
more on the market.
The people of Coos Bay have had
too many expensive experiences with
railroad rumors to become too enthu
siastic over the prospects of a rail
road now, even in the face of seeni-
nerlv authentic assurances that one
will be built. When the news of the
proposed Southern Pacific extension
to the '('oast via hngene reached
Marshfield the other day, it scarcely
rippled the surface of the Coos Bay
town, and the people said "we'll wait
and see." The Marshfield people are
evidently from Joplin.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8. "You
are reasoning in a circle, my friend,
when you ought to cut cross lots."
Thus did Si Hawkins, a plain, un
tutored, but hard-headed farmer,
puncture the labored philosophy of a
high-browed exponent of domestic
economics, who had just climaxed an
address to a gathering of farmers
with the statement "that the cause of
high prices and the high cost of liv
ing is freight rates, and the cure Is a
reduction in rates"
"I am only a plain f armer," con
tinued Hawkins, "but I, too, have
riven the high cost of living some
thought ; not, however, in a rocking
chair in a richly furnished study, but
in a lumber wagon up to the hubs in
mud, and while walking between the
handles of a plow. That is the col
lege in which I matriculated and
leanied what I know of economics.
Where Real Cost 18.
"Before this, I, too, had formed
some opinions from garnished soph-
lsrtv which I tound in books and
speeches by theorists and office-seek
ins politicians, but it was hauling
half a load of hogs to market the
other day over a road knee deep in
mud that made me realize there were
other things than freight rates in
volved in the high cost of living. I
had a case of egtrs at my feet on one
side and a tub of butter on the other,,
both bringing such good prices that
mother bless her dear heart, she
looks better in calico than other wo
men in 'silks cautioned me against
reckless driving.
A new idea came to me. it was
that by giving the consumer the bene
fit of the waste that attaches to the
existing methods and conditions, we
could by this alone greatly reduce the
cost of living.
'That set me to figuring. It took
me a whole day with a team ana
wagon to haul 1500 pounds of hogs
the ten miles I had to go. At the rate
of $3.50 a day for team and driver, I
easily ascertained that the wagon
haul, without allowing anything for
repairs or keeping of myself and
team, was costing 4G cents a ton per I the wagon haul."
mile. Great Heavens, that was over
sixtv-one times more than the average
charge a ton per mile by the rai
roads, as shown by the reports of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
everybody seeking to reduce the higli
cost of living was bitterly inveighin
against railroad rates and blind!
marching behind blind leaders
that end. When roads we're not
muddy, I hauled 2500 pounds to
load and yet that was 28 cents a ton
per mile, or over thirty-seven times
more than the average charge by the
raflroads. The reports of the Inter
state Commerce Commission showed
that the average cost by railroad was
three-fourths of one cent a ton per
mile.
Good Roads Cheaper.
"In a pamphlet issued by the De
partment of Agriculture, I read that
the farmers of several states, particu
larly the farmers of Pennsylvania, by
the construction of good roads
had doubled their loads- and .there
by decreased the cost of wagon trans
portation 50 per cent. That mean
on poor roads a saving of 23 cents a
mile, and on the dry roads basis a
saving of 14 cents a ton per mile.
"When I realized that this enor
mous waste applied to all the great
farm crops of this great country-
for every pound or ton of surplus
farm products must be moved by
wagon to the ears or elevators at the
railway station I was staggered.
first at the enormous waste and, sec
ond, at the stupidity of so-called eco
nomic .philosophy. It cost me $3.50
to haul 1500 pounds, whereas with
good roads I could haul 6000 pounds
at Hie same cost, showing very clear
ly to me that on that wagon haul
had a clean waste and loss of 75 per
.cent. The average amount ! would
have to pay the railroad for hauling
the same load the same distance is
less than 6 cents. In other words,
for what it cost me $3.50, the ,rail
roads do it for less than 6 cents, and
the average amount the railroad
charges me is actually less than 3 per
cent of the amount that is wasted in
A noted phrenologist who has ex
amined the head of Robert LaFollette,
declares that Bob will win the presi
dential nomination on the Republican
ticket next year. He says he has felt
his "bumps," and no other outcome
is possible. The Wisconsin aspirant
should remember that bumps are oft
en deceptive, and it is barely possi
ble that he will possess more bumps
after the convention than before and
that they will tell a different story.
Other men have gathered a juicy crop
of "bumps" in Republican conventions.
The assertion that perhaps the
campaign against the house fly is all
wrong, and that the insect ought to
be allowed to live because it "ro
moves ilonu organic matter" is taken
seriously by some, and in defense of
their position they point to the buz
zard or the sea gull whose destruction
is prohibited by law in many sections
simply because both these birds are
scavengers The principal difference
between the fly and the birds appears
to bo that the latter do not enter
open doors and defective screens and
wio their feet on the butler nor swim
in the soup.
PORTLAND PARTIES
TO OPENNEW HOTEL
New Crider Block Leased For Hotel
Purposes; Contract Signed Today.
George A. Berry, proprietor of the
New Scott Hotel in Portland, ar
rived in the city yesterday and with
in a short time had leased for hotel
purposes the greater portion of the
concrete building being erected on the
corner of Mill and Jefferson streets
by J. W. Crider. It is expected that
the new hostelry will be opened by
the first of October, and the work will
be hurried along with that end in
view. Mr. Berry is an experienced
hotel man and promises to run a
thoroughly modern house.
Adds Soda Fountain.
In order to keep up with his in
creasing business, Everett Gwinn has
made arrangements to put in an up-to-date
soda fountain in his confec
tionery on Main street, between Court
and Washington. He received a ship
ment of store fixtures yesterday
morning, including fountain, back bar
and counter, which cost him $000.
and he says he will have the best of
the kind in Dallas.
SAVE THE TREES.
Over in Oregon City a fight has lc
veloed lictwocn the hcal telephone
company and projierty owners who
possess shade trees, to prevent the
company from cutting them down or
inlerferinff with their growth. The
fk'ht started over the determination
of the company to cut down a largf
tree that htiMtJ in the street and hin
dered t!i easy si ringing of their
wiifs. The projierty owners won the
fin-1 round and the trees were saved,
but a new ordinance ha been pro
posed to the city council in which it
is made the duty of projicrtv owners
to trim their trees and keep them
trirnrmj as "not to interfere with
felt-plume or telegrnph wires." That
promised law is going after things in
the wron; a ay.
What is needed is a law prohibiting
lie cor oral ion from interfering
wilh the hi,le tree and eompeliiru?
t hem to place their line im that they
wiil not irjure their growth. No city

Senator LaFollette is exercised
over the failure of his little scheme to
put President Taft into a dark,-deep
hide in connection with the wool bill
and the free list bill, and it is said
that be now fears that it is himself
who will explore said hole. When the
Wisconsin senator engineered his lit
tlo alliance with the Insurgents and
the Democrats he chuckled in the be
lief that he had completed a really
clever piece of politics, and one
which Would give his presidential as
pirations a substantial boost. But,
having heard from the country, he
f curs that any compromise wool bill
that may lie agreed upon will not be
txpiilar. LaFollette fears that if
'resident Taft is given the opportun
ity to veto the wool bill, the country
will approve, and LaFollette and his
Insurgent allies will find themselves
in the hole. There is evidence also
of a break between the Insurgent
esder and the Democrats and it ap-
tienrs that the latter may resent La
Follette's domination and insist uiion
running things themselves. Ixniking
nt the question from all sides, it seems
that the Wisconsin senator is facing
an acute position.
.Oh, Prnnesl.
O Prunel
Thou art IT!
To thee, all hail !
Thon art paramount.
We bow down before thee.
And worship at thy shrine.
Kissed by the winds of heaven
Ripened by the sun of suns,
Thy juice is nectar for the gods.
Man likes thee,
And woman seeks thee
In the marts of the world.
Thy enpurpled cheek
Looks good to us,
O prune.
But thy price
Looks better. .
Rising with each rising sun
It sure is
A corker.
O prune,
We salute thee!
Kings acknowledge thee;
On thee mouarchs munch,
And proud princes partake
And all nobility nibbles,
O prune of Polk!

summer vacation much longer than
he expected or even wanted to, all on

the back of the neck while he was
away visiting his daughter, Mrs. H.
R. Patterson, Jr., at Grays River,
Washington, recently. For several
days he was compelledto remain in
doors and suffered considerable pain,
but is now improving and will soon be
