POLITICAL DAYS" FAVORED Republicans Slay Have Senator Jones l" Washington, Bull Moot-era A. K. Clark of Portland: Democrats X( Announced: Woman's Club Inter ested in Ails mid Crafls Display. With every member of the different committees working industriously, and with interest in the project on the increase, matters in connection with the first annual Polk County Fair wh-iich will he held In Dallas on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oc tober 3, 4 and B, are progressing sat ' isfaetoriiy and with flattering pros pects of success. Inquiries are com ing in regarding the entries In live stock and agricultural products. Of course the school portion of the fair, which is in reality one of the princi pal features, is an assured success for the reason that the school chil dren of the county have been making arrangements to exhibit since the fair was first launched last winter and there is no doubt that their show ing will be second to none. Three roll t kill Days. The movement for three political days caught instant favor. The dif ferent county central committees at once enlisted all their efforts to secure a competent speaker for the day de voted to their particular interests, and while, the matter is not fully se tled in all cases, it can safely be pre dicted that some interesting speeches will be heard. The fair committee plans to permit the chairman of the different committees ,to draw lots in order to determine the day that shall be devoted to them, as it is believed that In no other manner can justice to all be done. The Republican committee will probably have United States Senator Wesley L. Jones, of Washington, and the Dull Moose rs will be represented on their day by A. E. Clark, of Port land, their candidate for United States senator from Oregon. The Demo cratic man has not yet been selected, and will not be until the last of the present week. County Chairman Os car Hayter is in correspondence with the state committee and has been promised a man of national reputa tion. Amusement Features. Manager Arnold, of the carnival company, which has the concession for the show features of the fair, an nounces that he will bring all of his shows here and give Dallas and Polk county a number of high grade at tractions that they have never before seen under one management in the county. The sites for the different shows has not yet been decided further than they are to be in the business Rection. Another feature that has just been added will be an Indian "pow-wow" by Indians from the Siletz agency, according to announcement received yesterday by a representative from the agency who visited the city. The Indians will come in large numbers and establish a camp and give rep resentations of their dances, accou tred in full regalia, war paint and feathers. S-mce for Exhibits. The comm'ttee has leased the building on Washington street, be tween Main and Jefferson streets, for the display of cattle, and ft is pos sible that arrangements will also be made to accommodate the horses at the same place. It has also been sug gested that pens for the sheep, goats and swine be built on the-vacant lots adjoining, rather than on the land west of the Armory as, by this ar- rangrment. all the stock displays i would be kept together which is , deemed more advisable than to scat ter them ov-r the city. Arts and Craft Display. The Dallas Woman's club has tak- en up the plan for a display of artsjJ. and crafts with a will. The follow-' J. insr committee has been appointed to , take charge of the exhibit: Mrs. D. M. Metzirer, chairman; Mrs. Eugene Foster, Mrs. G. P. MacGregor. Mrs. Willis Simonton and Mrs. Lot D. Drown. Already this committee has met with a hearty response from ! manv exhibitors, and It is expected I that women skilled in needlem-ork. 1 painting, etc.. irom every pari oi me ; c.Minty will compete for the Mue ribbons.

C. & W. tracks, the Pelk County Court visited that locality M.-nday to consider the application of the railway company for permission to raise the grade of its tracks four feet. This raise is made n"cesary on account of the new bridge now I- ng built over the Wilamette river. ( The company auree to grade the ap- f.roache to the crossing so that where there is now an eight per cnt . crude, under the new plan there will l but a four per cent grade. It is , probable the application will he al- lowed. TOARRANGECAMPAIGNS Democratic Central Committee to Sleet Saturday ; Republican Organ ization Soon Thereafter. That the date for the general election is approaching is evidenced by the activities of the different cam paign committees. Chairman Oscar Hayter of the Democratic Polk coun ty committee has issued a call for a meeting of his committee at the Court House on Saturday, Sep. 28. Chair man Keyt, of the Republican organ ization has not yet called' ar meeting of the Polk county committee but will probably do so in a few days. The Bull Moosers are also active and while they will not place a ticket in the field in this county, the leaders propose to leave no stone unturned to garner support for their national and congresional ticket. At the Democratic meeting on Sat urday plans for the campaign will be discussed and it is already evident that the Wilson men propose to or ganize and maintain a warm scrap from the start. What the Republi cans will do is problematical but it is declared that they, too, will soon have their campaign on in full blast. HOI PICKING OVER; PRUNK HARVEST WELL UNDER WAY. Latter Crop Shows Belter Yield than Expected and of Fine Quality: Threshing; About Completed. Iloppicking was finished last week and since that time th prune harvest has been on in full blast with the probability that most of the orchards will bo finished this week, although some of the larger ones will not com-' pl'tte the harvest until next week. Generally reports from the prune growers are to the effect that the yield is larger than was .expected and, In every Instance, the Quality is de clared to be better than last year. Threshing machines have been busy since the rain ceased and by the end of the present week it is likely that the work will beNover. In this connection ajso, it is said that not nearly so much grain was destroyed as expected. Some of it is colored, it is true, but there is also a large amount of it that is suitable for sale. Altogether conditions are not near ly so bad as it was first believed and Polk county as usual ends the year with a good crop and generally sat isfied farmers. NEW SCIKM)L DISTRICT EORMED Granting the petition of residents of Droadmead for the formation of a new school district in Northeastern Polk the county boundary board at a session held in Dallas on Monday is sued a formal order to that effect. Patrons of the district will meet at Droadmead on Thursday night and take the necessary steps looking to the organization of the district by the election of officers and other pre liminaries. It is the intention of the new district to erect a new school house at once. GUILD PLANS MEETING Arrangements For Annual Exhibi tion and Reception Made at Fri day's Gathering.

EMPLOY EXPERT TO ASKSGOURTTOCUT INSPECT DRIDGE GALLING VOWS POLK AND MARION COURTS AND SALEM TO STAND EXPENSE. Three Interests Unite Is Decision Fol lowing Conference In Dallas Satur day; Will Make Repairs. For the purpose of jnakit s ar rangements to properly investigate the Willamette river bridge at West Salem, with the view of repairing it, if necessary, Councilmen Pennybaker, and City Attorney R. E. Page, of Sa lem, visited Dallas on Saturday and held a conference with County Jdgc Ed. F. Coad. At this meeting the al leged unsafe condition of the bis bridge was discussed and plans sug gested for its repair. Judge Coad stated his position, and the Ideas of the Polk court on the matter sub stantially as printed in Friday's Ob server. He said that the Court was willing to do Its share In placing the bridge In good condition, but thought that the Court, should, at the sam" time, have a hand in the suggestion. and the management of the work. The result of the conference was the decision to employ a competent steel bridge expert, of Portland, who will come to Salem and, under th" gUpf.rvjgj P(llk an, on of the county courts of and Marion counties, and the Salem city council, will make a thor onch investigation of the structure and endeavor to finally establish whether it is fit for travel over it and what to do, if it isn't.

The outlining of plans for the proposed poultry exhibit at the first annual Polk County Fair, and urging breeders to assist in making the poultry feature a success, is Informa tion contained in a circular letter just issued to the members of the Polk County Poultry association by Mrs. Winnie Braden, secretary. The text of the circular Is as follows: "Dear Sir: Our first County Fair will be held in Dallas Oct. 3, 4 and 5. Prospects are bright for a large entry in every class. Let us all come out with our birds and make the poultry divisions second to none. "Mr. B. F. Keeney, Eugehe, Ore., has been secured- to place the awards .and birds will be judged by compar ison.

FIELDS RETURNED TO DALLAS Methodist Conference Sends Popular Clergynurn Here Another Year. One result of the Methodist confer ence which concluded its labors at Ashland on Saturday, which meets with general commendation In Dal las, both from the members of the church and with laymen also, was the return of Rev. D. Lester Fields to the pastorate here for another year. Rev. George F. Hopkins, who formerly occupied the Dallas pulpit has been transferred from Gresham In Multnomah county to Patton. Other Polk county appointments are: Rallston, to be supplied by J. M. Hlxon. Falls City to be supplied by L. T. Prose. West Salem to be supplied by M. I Bullock. Independence, F. N. Sandifur. F. M. Waehlte has been transferred from Falls City to Dilley. Sign is Carefully Guarded. Evidently fearful that their spot less sign' announcing the location of the headquarters for the "Progress ive Party of Polk County" will prove a shining mark for marauders of the night, the "party" removes the siun when darkness falls and carefully stores it away in somebody's tire- oroof vault until next morninn s sun I kisses away the mists from the lev. It surely Is a wonderful sign and ordinary caution demands that it lie safeguarded. Released From Jail. Completing his 40 day sentence in the Polk county Jail.

FEW ENROLL FROM DALLAS President Winter's Annual Address nt 10 O'clock to Open Regular Term; Dallas Citizen Urges Imme diate Co-operation in Order to Se eure College Location. With good prospects for the new term, which will be the last year of Dallas college in its present location, unless the' people of this city rally to the support of the Institution, and provide the increased endowment ask ed for to assure the location here of the proposed federated college, Dal las college will open tomorrow, fol lowing exercises at the administra tion building at 10 o'clock where President A.

"If Dallas is to retain this Institu tion it will be necessary to take action within a short time," said a promi nent Dallas citizen yesterday In dis cussing the affair. "I understand that the uncertainty of the perma nent location of the college operated to a certain extent against the secur ing of students, and that more would have come if the matter had been definitely decided. Again, I under stand that, had Dallas been decided upon as the permanent place, several new families would have moved here to make their homes In order that tbdr children might have the advan tage of the college.
