HOT COUNTY SEAT FIGHT.
Special to the Journal:
DALLAS, Or, May 13.-The fight
between Independence and Dallas
for the supremacy on the county
seat question is becoming very
warm; business men of those two
places have become so much inter-
ested that they have been allowing
their stock of goods to run down
and almost abandoned business.
The action of our county court in
the Salem bridge matter is giving
general satisfaction. The $50, 900 of
Polk county bonds will be issued for
a long term of years and very low
rate of interest, so that the taxes in
payment therefore would not be felt
by the people.
