Entered as second-class matter March 1, 1907, at the postofflce at Dal las, Oregon, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Subscription Ratesi One Tear $1.50 Six Months 75 Three Months .40 Strictly in advance. To commemorate the the first year ot its publication, the Independence Monitor issued a handsome develop ment edition last week which is credit to any newspaper office. The edition teems with cuts from differ ent portions of the county and con sists of 12 pages of text matter and advertising, considerable space is devoted to Dallas and several illus trations of buildings in this citv are shown. Editor Hurley is to be con gratulated . on his enterprise and progressiveness. The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. A PACIFIC FLEET. In somewhat rounded sentences and indefinite expressions of purpose, Secretary Daniels has told the peo ple of the Pacific Coast that as soon as the Panama canal is completed a I. ...i il -ii i large pun oi. uie navy win ne trans ferred to the Pacific. He calls atten tion to the fact that a fleet could pass through the canal from either coast Ui the other before any hostile fleet could reach either coast from across the fronting ocean. This is true as to the Pacific, but not the At lantic, declares the St. Louis Globe Democrat. A German fleet, for in stance, could reach Long Island Sound from the North Sea much sooner than an American fleet could reach it from Sim Francisco, both starling at the same time. Hut the Pacific Ocean is wider, and a Japan ese fleet could not reach our Pacific coast as soon as one of our own sent through the canal from the Atlantic. If one fleet is to protect both coasts, it follows that this is best done by keeping the fleet in the Atlantic. An Atlantic fleet could get to the Pacific before a trans-Pacific enemy could reach the coast, but a Pacific fleet could not get to the Atlantic before a trans-Atlantic enemy reached that shore. The reason assigned by Secretary Daniels for sending the fleet to the Pacific, because there is more popu lation facing the Pacific coast than any other boundary, is scarcely ade quate. We are not in so much dan ger from the teeming millions of Asia as trom the less number of millions of Europe, because they have not the same potentiality of attack. The (leets ami the armies of the world lie across the Atlantic. Only one power lies over the Pacific of whose ships and soldiers we need to take note. t is impossible to escape the conclusion that it is solely with refer ence to this power that the announced policy of keeping a strong licet in the raciho is to be adopted, at the sacrifice of natural strategy of posi tion. Japan is to be confronted with a battle licet, on our Pacific coast. Obviously intended for her as such a move would be, Japan would be in no position to protest against it as evidence of an unfriendly spirit. It would be purely defensive. We might easily say that there could be no danger to Japan from a fleet kept strictly on the defensive along our own coasts, no matter how much augmented in size it might he. It would be quite ditTerent should we send such a fleet to Manila. Such a move might easily Ik1 construed as a hostile one. We'slnill never be able to send a large fleet to Manila ex cept in time of actual war, and then it would probably arrive too late for service in connection with the land defenses. Put we can keep along our Pacific coast, leaving our Atlantic coast open, unstralegie as such a dis position of it would be, until such time as Congress sees til to build a fleet for each ocean, which is some what indefinitely in the future. Haywood, the labor agitator says that four hours daily is enough for any man to work. lie knows. But the trouble with the average run of the agitators of Haywood's stripe is that while they advocate four hour manual labor they insist on working their mouths on much longer sched ules. If Haywood and his ilk would only apply the same argument to the latter, the public might not have cause for complaint. Somebody has discovered a bug or a worm which lives off the common thistle, and is killing them in large quantities in some portions of the state. Ve have often wondered why Col. Jiurbank, or some other learned light who has been busy inventing aids to agriculture has not laid off before now long enough to discover some insect or other which would re fuse to eat anything but the weed pests which we want destroyed. The Observer fails to understand why Uncle Samuel cannot recognize President Huerta, of the Mexican re public, if the pictures of the Mexi can executive now going the rounds of the press are true likenesses. It appears that almost anyone might recognize the President, even if he saw him on the other side of the st reet. most of the others will have begun this week. Quite a bit of excitement was caus ed last week when Mrs. Laeey's leam got away trom rred Brant. They ran some distance before he was able to catch. them. Very little damage was done. A party was held at Metcalfe's last Saturday evening. Quite a num ber ot the young and older people were there and spent a very pleasant evening. (.has. Kerber and family motored to Condrons last Sunday and spent the day visitiner. Quite a number of autos are rass- ing through, to and from the coast. Mrs. Lacey went to Dallas Mon day on business. I There seems to be as many berries in "Johnston's pastuie" as there were three weeks ago, and there are but a few families in the neighbor hood who have not gathered there at least once. E. Marquardt is balinar hav for John Dyer. G. N. Newton is rearing down a barn at the Pedee saw mill and will rebuild it on his place. lim lucker is leaving camp and moving his family to Paul Ronco's. his fatherinlaw. II TWENTY YEARS AGO IN DALLAS Taken From the Files of The f Observer, Dated Thursday, Aug. 3, 1893. It was really unfair to call Am uassaitor Wilson trom Mexico to Washington merely to "tie a can to him." The administration should have fired him at long distance. He could then have left his job without any intention of returning. He would thus have been able to bring his chickens and household goods with him. Sjeaker Champ Clark declares that he has refused hundreds of offers of lecture engagements that took him away from his congressional duties. Hold on. It can't be that the Speak er is taking a fling at the Boy Orator ot the Platte T We supposed that little misunderstanding had been fix ed up. In the event that the city council passes that muzzle measure for the city dogs, the official whose business it will be to see that the law is en forced, has our sympathy. Before he finishes his work he'll think the owners are madder than any dog would attempt to be. The religion of some people is a mighty Hor substitute for a fire es cape, and history doesn't record many instances where even the other kind have failed to avail themselves of the road to safety if they found one handy. The Albany Herald has started crusade for hitching posts in .that city. It has long been understood that people wouldn't stay in the Linn county metropolis without hitching and the same probably applies to self-respecting horses. Isn't it possible that a greater re gard for his political fences than fear of (Kissible bankruptcy has influenced the Secretary of State ito take advan tage of the chautauqua circuit and the .fl'tlt) jht led ure T Ananias clubs are now back num bers.
