The good roads excitement has invaded Polk County. The Dallas Commercial Club is making an effort to secure a bond issue of not less than $600,000, with which, it is figured, practically all the cities of the county can be connected by a hard surface road. The Santa Clara Potato Grow ers' Association, an association of farmers near Eugene, has just sold three carloads of spuds at 80 cents per cwt. and are holding from 12 to 14 carloads for better prices.
