THE POLK COUNTY OBSERVER, TUESDAY, JULY 28, 1914, MANY POLK ROADS FINE HIGHWAYS IN ALL DIRECTIONS ARE OILED. "Slough" Gravel Prom Beds of Streams Hardens Into "Natural Cement" During Past Years. The heaviest travel by automobile in years has been observed on the highways leading in all directions. The roads are in fine condition, owing to the oiling recently given them. Several years ago yellow "slough" gfavel from nearby streams was placed on the roads in the surrounding dis tricts. Heavy travel from Salem to Dallas and Monmouth to McMinnville ' packed the material into a "natural cement." River gravel afterwards was hauled from the Willamette to the districts of central and southern Polk county. The movement for good roads spread rapidly and last year the work was hastened by gravel loaders at Independence. The rapidly-increasing number of automobiles in Polk county kept the road improvements on the upward trend. Farmers in several districts furnished much gravel and labor for the roads and highways thereby were improved from their farms to points most frequently visited in their busi ness. Road construction of the prop er kind was added by the county court, when J. W. Finn, of McCoy, was chos en general rondmaster of the county. Tourist travel through Polk county has been heavy during June and July. Parties passing through the hilly regions claim the dust was not deep, that the ronds as a whole were cred itable and. that a frequent changing of gears was not necessary. Farmers livinir in the Greenwood district, east of Kockrcall, on the Dallas-Salem road, report hundreds of automobiles passing that point daily. They say that this year's travel greatly exceeds that of last year. The roads now in good condition extend from Dallas to ltickrcnll, Rick reall to Monmouth, Buena Vista to Airlie", Monmouth to Airlie, Buena Vista to Independence and Monmouth, Falls City to Monmouth, Indepen dence to (Salem, Hickreall to McMinn ville and Dallas to Suit Creek. USEFUL SUIT. Thii Boy' Outfit May Bo Easily "ransformed Into a Qsthing Suit. SEASON OPENS SATURDAY. i 1 i 11 Rebuilding Old Residence. In 1850 while holding court here the Hon. R. P. Boise, then prosecuting attorney for this district, which at that time extended from Portland to Roseburg, in company with M. P Deady, district judge, visited Col. J W. Nesniith, who at that time operat ed the old Ellendale mill and resided not more than 300 yards therefrom, their visit being for the purpose of agreeably spending the Knhbntli in the company of the colonel. During this visit Mr. Boise contracted for a parcel of land with a commodious house thereon, owned by Nesmith, to which he afterwards added to it by other purchases. The house having become dilapidated by the intervening years is now being rebuilt by the sons of Boise, long since departed, but as much of it as possible is being pre served. The old iirepluee, and the wainscoting remains, as does also a door once ordered by Jason Lee for a mission, and afterwards used in the Nesmith home. BOY 8 SUIT.

With the opening of the deer hunt ing season next Saturday, sportsnier are cleaning their guns preparatory to invading the mountains, where the lithe creatures are said to be more plentiful this year than usual. From August 1 to October 1, three months, will be the open season for deer. Only three male deer are permitted to each hunter dining the season. Any mu tilation o? the carcass so as to con ceal the sex is a violation of the law Hunters should remember that they cannot hunt and hsh on the same license, but must have both hunters' and anglers' licenses if they wish to engage in both sports. Will the season pass off quietly without the death of a single hunter ? This is the question that is uppermost in the minds or many people, this would not be impossible if the sports men would heed the instructions printed upon the license, and wear red garments, that could be distin guished at a distance. It would be a good thing tor every hunter to carefully study the instruc tions printed on the backs ot all li censes, whether they have previously studied them or not. To those who have studied them it would serve to refresh their memory. Some mighty good hints are given. Attention, Hopgrowers. Examine the best hop stove on the market before you buy. Dallas Iron Works. , July 21 Sept. 1. from the Salem, Falls City & West ern railway company. This summons is published in the Polk County Observer, a weeklv news paper published in Polk County, Ore gon, once a week for Bix successive weeks by an order made by me on July 13th, 1914, and the date of the first publication is July 14, 1914.

Curtis spent several weeks at the home of his cousin, J. W. Thornberg of Turlock, who is president of the Turlock Shipping & Supply company. On Monday he re ceived a letter from Mr. Thornberg Keying that l(e had that day shipped six carloads of watermelons from his own place and bought twelve additional carloads, besides one carload of can tuloues. Mr. Thornberg has 140 acres of cantaloupes, 240 acres of watermelons and 500 acres of sweet potatoes. This last week the price of watermelons advanced from $11 to $18 per ton, which will make con siderable more money for the growers than was expected by them. Most of Them Are Attached to Little Chemisettes. No coat is without its bit of white turning over at the collar. Most of these becoming white coat collars are attached to chemisettes, which are donned under the blouse of silk, lace or chiffon, or the eoljar may be part of a tub silk or handkerchief linen blouse worn under the eont. Sheer white organdie is the popular collar material, and the smartest col lars are cut double, seamed at the edge and without a hem. If a single layer of organdie Is used the hem is very narrow -and is set in with hand stitches or a line of fine hemstitching. .Lace and embroidery collars are not as smart as these sheer organdie col lars, though occasionally collars of very fine machine embroidery, mitered at the corners, are seen. EMBROIDERED CRAPE. Makea an Elegant Costume For Sum mer Afternoon Entertainments. The gown shown here is of light crape combined with a darker, shade. The latter is adopted for the collar, cuffs and the deep emplacement for Poultry for the Fair. William Lee of Falls City was in Dallas yesterday, and to The Ob server said he expected to have an exhibit at the fair this fall, one that would excell anything of the kind ever before shown in l'olk county. It will be remembered that last year his two daughters, Marie and Mabel, made an exhibit of Barred Plymouth Rocks, Leghoius, Indian Runner ducks and Homer pigeons that attracted con siderable attention. Since that time they have paid particular attention to their poultry with a view to en hancing the merits of their exhibit this vear, nnd whoever carries off the honors will undoubtedly have to Service Is Efficient State Fire Warden Elliott, being some fisherman, waded the Big Lucki amute Sunday, and from the middle of that stream told a repicscntative of The Observer that he was well satis fied with prevailing conditions as re gards the service at the head of which he is. Fires have been few and far between this season, and he hopes and trusts that efficiency in the depart ment will have its reward throughout the summer. Tliere has been great vigilance in every section of the state. Mr. Elliott commended very hidily the work being done by Mr. Fuller of this city, who is an inspector in the fire service, and also threw a few bo quets in Mr. Hayden's direction.
