LET US GET BUSY. It is up to the people of Dallas to rally to the support of the Polk County Fair association and offer.it suitable location for its annual ex hibitions. Ve cannot expect, nor ought we to ask, the people of the county at large to spend & cent in buying, leasing or preparing, a fair ground. The holding of the- fairs in Dallas will prove of great benefit to this city and Dallas should at once make some move that will result in placing them here permanently. It makes no difference whether or not the county, shall, appropriate a cer tain sum for the support of the fair, ., or shall make provision for raising ' funds by tax levy the first esseti tial is a place to hold it. It cannot be managed successfully as last year. That exhibition was only a start and, in the small. Jength of time at its disposal the Commercial club did the best it could. The arrangements were satisfactory in the main, con . sideline the inauguration of the movement, but if the institution is to reach the point where it shall take its place among the successful fairs of the state, it must have permanent exhibition grounds. ", P"'las has such a tract, one that ' is recognized as ideal for such pur poses and it would require but a comparatively, small amount of mon ey to place it in condition. We refer to the city park which is now largely in a state, of embryo and which comes a long way from fulfilling its mission as a pleasure ground for the people of the city. A few weeks ago, a landscape gardener was in the city, and, at the suggestion' of one of the leading citizens, inspected the park regarding the possibilities of improvement there. He had been in terested in the improvement of the city park at McMinnville, and - he expressed the belief that, with the expenditure of a comparatively small amount Dallas' city park eould be placed m first-class condition for park purposes . arid for the holding of the annual exhibitions of the Pglk County Fair association. It appears then, that Dallas must take the initiative in this matter and make some . arrangements , for housing the fair, We all konw that last year's exhibition was a success and, from the enthusiastic manner in which people from all portions of the county have taken hold of the movement for a permanent organiza tion, the outlook is extremely favor able for the growth and expansion of the idea. That Dallas wants the fair here is undoubted, and that she will get it if she bestirs herself is probable, but it will never be accom plished by playing a waiting game. Let us get busy, and let us start at once. , ' ' J. J. ; Certainly Oregon should berepre sented at the 'coming - Panama-Pa eific exposition in San Francisco in 1915 and The Observer favors a lib eral appropriation for such purpose This will probably be the greatest world's fair ever staged and will be visited by millions of people from every quarter of the globe. Oregon must have representation as befits her importance in the union of states and in keeping witib her resources both developed and in the making, But there, is a, wide difference of opinion as to what constitutes liberal appropriation." .We do not believe that a half million is neces sary, as has been advocated by some of the ultra-enthusiastic boosters for the fair, nor do we think that even half that amount will be required We do not profess to, be posted on the matter, but, judging from past experiences the sum of $100,000 would, it seems, prove sufficient for all purposes and would srive this tate representation of which every citizen should be proud. When tin appropriation is made every restrict-' ion should be thrown around if, to the end that every cent of it shall be honestly expended, for the benefit of Oregon. There should be no fan cy salaries to "managers and secretaries" and all the other hangers-on and leeches that usually are thought necessary to manage and handle exhibits ; of this nature. Some competent ' man. should be se lected as commissioner and to him Portland, Or., Jan. 7. (Special) Certain measures believed to be of benefit to the state as a whole are favored by the Oregon Purebred Livestock association, which will pre sent them to the coming session of the legislature. Among these is the livestock sanitary bill, which has the approval of the Grange, the wool growers, dairy association and the Consumers league. The association also aks that $50,000 out. of the Panama-Pacific exposition be se aside ,ior nvestocK premiums to go to Oregon exhibitors. - ab appropriation or .fiU,0w is asked for' purchasing livestock for the Oregon experiment station; this is to be a communis annrooriation. It is recommended that the premium fund for livestock at the state fair be raised "and that an annual appru- priation of $3,000 be made for the annual dairy show at Portland. It is also thought best to do away with district fairs and establish a county fair in , eah county. It is recom mended that no state fair be held in 1915, but that this state ioin with the Panama-Pacific exposition to hold the biggest stock show at San Fran cisco ever known. -..

Enconrag- divine leader, rather than in mater- should be given full power and re- ial equipment, The meeting - at the Christian church opened Sunday morning with a good crowd, and splendid -interest. A large-chorus and orchestra led by tme pastor was an inspiration to all and a prophecy of something worth while to the public- , , r. Air. Curtis spoke in the morning on the subject: , "Gideon's Victory'' in which he showed that many great victories have been won by the few. especially in the history of the ac complishments of the . church, and that "the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong" but success comes to those who ,fight in a holy cause, ana place their trust, in the sponsibility. . This fund should . be handled as honestly and as econom ically as any other state fund, so that every dollar of it shall be judiciously used for the purpose intended. ' - . . Idaho editors may be , estopped from making faces at that state 's OH, MY GOODNESS I In that beautifully printed news paper, the McMinnville Telephone Register, is published an article by George H.

There are many interesting views of Salem and vicinjty and creditable write-ups of the various industries of the val ley. One noticeable feature of the paper however, is the fact that the principal poultry farm on the valley located in Polk county, four miles west of Salem, is, credited to that city. In the evening the subjeet of the sermon was "Why 1 believe the Bible to be the word of God." Seven rea sons "were- given and elaborated . by the pastor and the sermon was cer tainly one that should dispel all doubte upon that important fact.' The evangelist, E, V. Stivers, ar rived from McMinnville Monday and delivered his first sermon to the church on Monday evening. This discourse was especially intended for j mose aireaay cunstians, Dut con tained many helpful suggestions for those not yt .enlisted. Mr. Stivers is a strong young man and thoroughly representative of his people. His opening sermon left no doubt in the minds of those present that "seasons of refreshing" are in store lor this people, under -his capa ble leadership. ' . X Storm's Damage. - the- high wind of. Saturday and Sunday caused much damage to the Sheridan Lumber company's flume along the nine-mile ' line - between Sheridan and the upper mill above Buell. Sections of the high flume were -blown over" in several places until fully a mile of it in the aggre gate was wrecked. Workmen are now busy making repairs arid will have it in working order in a few days, f At Willamina the raise in the river caused the boom at the McMil lan mill to break,- letting out fully miyiuu ieet or saw logs thai went down the Yamhill, river. - The loss to thfr mill is estimated at nearly $7.- 000.
