A few Of the Republican leaders
in the present campaign are finding
out that they did a very poor days
work when they turned down
influential workers in every pre-
cinct in Polk county. The average
voter does not care to follow the
leadership Of few self-constituted
bosses who have tricked and traded
the Republican ticket for years,
and who are ready at this minute
to trade off some of the best men
on the Republican ticket in order
to carry out their selfish ends. The
pleading and begging of men who
knitted the head of the ticket two
years ago and who care absolutely
nothing for the pr nciples OF the
Republican party will not accom-
pllsh much this year. The voters
will no longer support a man who
is willing to trade every other man
on the ticket to save his own hide
When a few Of these mugwQmps
are buried too deep for resurrection,
we will have some straight Re
publicanism in Polk county again.

Shipment Of Rainbow Trout.

County Commissioner John Teal
received word from Washington,
d. G., this week that shipment of
5000 rainbow trout will be forwarded
to him at once to stock his new pond
at his mountain home above Falls
City. Mr. Teal says the Eastern brook
trout sent him last August are thriv-
ing finely and making rapid growth.
Eight thousand Of these trout were
sent out from the Government hatch
cry, and were placed in a pond pre-
pared for them on MI. Teals ranch
The fish averaged one inch in length
when sent out from the hatchery, and
were shipped in large cans. Mr.. Teal
says that most of these trout are now
fully six inches long and growing
rapidly.

Dallas is enjoying an era Of
prosperity and substantial growth
unprecedented in her history. New
buildings are going up all over
town, property owners are i'm
proving and beautifying their
premises, and more important
public Improvements are under
way than ever before. The hotels
are crowded with guests, and new
people are arriving every day to
make their homes here. Merchants,
without single exception, report
trade lively and growing better all
the time. The spirit of progress is
in the air, and the year 1904
promises to be record breaker in
the number of buildings erected
and the consequent increase in
population. Dallas has put aside
her village ways and is rapidly
taking on a city appearance.

sisted of speaking and singing by the

The promoters of the Dallas
Salem railroad ask a bonus OF
$4,000 from the business men o.
Salem. They will be lucky if they
get Is cents unless the citizens 0
the Capital City show more enter
prise than they have shown in the
past. The OBSERVER is of the
opinion that the road will never be
built, if Salem is to be depended
upon to furnish any considerable
amount Of money to help build it,.
Most of the big undertakings over in
that town start with talk and end
in talk.

Soldiers Of the Revolution.

At the last annual meeting of the
Vermont Society, Sons of the Ameri.
can Revolution. held at ST. Adams
November IL, 1908, a resolution was
adopted authorizing an investigation
which should disclose, as far as il
might be possible to learn, the names
of Revolutionary soldiers buried in
Vermont.
Both patriotic sentiment and a de-
sire to enrich the annals Of the early
history of our state are motives SUI
ficiently strong to warrant an earnest
effort on the part of Vermonters of
this generation to seek to preserve the
memory of the soldiers of the War for
independence whose last years were
lived in our W commonwealth.
Every year that passes makes the
gathering of such information more
difficult, and if a systematic effort of
this nature is to be attempted il ought
no longer TO be delayed.
The aid of the readers of this paper
is requested in obtaining the knowl-
edge desired. Any information that
can be CLEANED relative to the names
of Revolutionary soldiers known TO
have been buried in Vermont, and, i'll
possible, the places OF burial, will be
thankfully received by the secretary of
the Vermont Society, Sons of the
American Revolution, and at a later
date it will be compiled and made
public.

VERMONT FIRES.

During the high wind, Jan IA fire
was discovered at Principal Colburn's
house at Burr and Burton seminary in
Manchester. The flames were ex.
tinguished before they gained much
Roadway. although the wind was
blowing a gale. The students re-
moved nearly all the furniture and
considerable damage was done in
moving.
The Methodist church at SALISBURY
Depot and school house Immediately
adjoining were burned to the ground
late Jan. y. The fire started in the
school house after school had closed
and a strong wind blowing carried the
flames to the church. There are but
few houses there and no fire depart
ment. The school house was built "A
year ago and provided with modern
improvements. The church had a
seating capacity OF about $50. Both
were only partly insured.
