The foregoing is the substance OF
the decision OF the Supreme Court OF
Oregon in the appealed case of the
City of Dallas, respondent, VS.. Mary
E. Hallock, appellant This was a
suit to condemn certain rights Of way
over defendants property, also a
reservoir site and 100000 gallons of
water flowing every "a hours in La
Creole Creek, for the purpose of con-
structing and operatinga a water plant
for the City of Dallas. Phe opinion is
by Justice Wolverton.
Questions relative to the regularity
of the proceedings preliminary to the
condemnation proceedings, the issu-
ance of bonds, paymentfor the water
system, leasing the same, ETC., were
raised, but the court holds that these
are matters in which Judge Boise and
Mrs. Hallock are not interested. The
only question in which defendants are
interested are as to the necessity for
the condemnation and the measure Of
damages and payment therefor.
The case Of the City Of Dallas VS..
R. P. Boise was decided upon practi-
cally the same reasons as those which
prevailed in the case OF Dallas VS..
Hallock, above mentioned.
The decision Of these cases brings to
an end the long and earnest fight that
has been waged by the City Of Dallas
to obtain possession of certain lands
and water rights needed in the con-

BEWARE OF OFFICE HABIT
Worst Thing a Young Man Can Ac-
quire, Says an Astoria News
paper Man.

The worst thing man can acquire
is thirst for office. One can take a
chance Of all the ills to which a man
can fall heir and not be SO seriously
damaged as to get the office habit.
One may have faults, and who has
not; but the thirst for official honor
will level him when his faults will be
passed over as just human frailties
and nothing more. How many young
men who have started out we'll in life,
.prospered, become influential, and
have allowed themselves to be ap-
pointed to a good, fat federal job.
What has been the average experience
Of the federal officer holder? Ask
those who have had the experience.
Take the average elective office Of
the day, and the ordinary business
man would better let it alone. Busi-
ness and office-seeking do not 60 we'll
together, and to follow one means the
neglect Of the other Once in office it
is natural result that one should de-
sire reelection, and at the end OF two
or three terms, one is years behind the
business conditions and probably
worse off financially than when first
chosen. The average man would better
turn deaf ear to all entreaties to ac-
cept an office which would mean the
abandonment Of business ventures,
and attend strictly to business.

DUNN GROCERY OPENED

aatwean Dallal


The Dunn g. peFy store, which was
closed by its owEers about three weeks
ago, pending settlement with
creditors, was opened for business
Monday morning. The stock and fix
lures have been purchased by County
Clerk U. s. Loughaly, and the bust
ness will be continued by him. Harry
Dunn will have charge Of the store
until Mr.. Loughary's term of Office
expires. The latter gentleman will
then assume the active management
of the business.
Mr. Loughary is too we'll known in
Polk county to need any introduction
to the readers of the OBSERVER. Prior
to his election to the Office of County
Clerk, he had long and successful
experience as a salesman in some Of
the largest mercantile establishments
in the Northwest, and the work Of buy
ing and selling goods is not new to
him. He will conduct a first-class
grocery store and will enjoy liberal
patronage.

FOR BETTER PROTECTION
ReOrganized Fire Department In
Dallas VIII Be Well Equipped
With Apparatus.

Agents of the leading fire insurance
companies unite in the declaration
that Dallas will have the best fire pro-
lection Of any town of its size in Ore
gon when the new water system is
completed The requirements of the
contract with Mr.. Gates could not be
bettered, they say, and all express
surprise at the magnitude Of the plant.
Double standard hydrants at every
street crossing in the business portion
Of town and fire plugs only two blocks
apart throughoutthe residence district
and extending far into the suburbs
form a system Of protection not often
found in country towns and seldom
even in the large cities.
When it is remembered that the city
mains will be supplied by l2-inch
pipe leading from 3OOOOO-gallon
reservoir, built at an elevation of 100
feet above the street level, and that
this reservoir will be supplied by a g.
inch pipe from a mountain stream
flowing nearly one million gallons of
water every "a hours, even in the dry
Summer season, it will be seen that
Dallas water supply is second tonone.
The city council has already taken
up the matter Of reorganizing the fire
department and purchasing such ap-
paratus and supplies as may be needed
when the new water system is in
operation. 1t is altogether probable
that the present engine company will
be disbanded and two hose companies
formed. One hose cart will be housed
in the business portion Of town, and
the other will probably be placed in
the engine room at the city hall.
These carts will be lighter and
narrower than the cart now in use,
and will be plentifully supplied with
new hose. This is the plan that is be-
ing carried out by number Of in
terror towns in Oregon, Heppner being
among the number. The last issue Of
the Heppner Gazette says:
"Heppner's already good system of
fire protection is being improved.
Five hundred feet Of new hose has
been ordered, which makes a good
supply, in fact all that is necessary
for a town Of this size. The paid
custodian Of the fire apparatus has
recommended the purchase Of three
more hose carts which are needed, and
which will soon be added. The town
is we'll supplied in both the business
and residence portion with hydrants
and fire plugs, and with a good
pressure and always good reserve of
water in case Of fire, Heppner is we'll
protected"

FOR BETTER ROADS
National Aid Is Asked for Improves
ment of Highways.

There is now pending in Congress a
bill introduced by Hon. Walter P.
Brownlow, Of Tennessee, and Hon.
Jacob H. Gallinger, Senator from New
Hampshire, appropriating 1921, 100000
as National aid for the building Of
wagon roads. This sum is to be dis
tributed to each State according to it's
population, except that no state is to
receive less than $25O,OOO. The states
or counties receiving this money must
add like amount, so that $4s, 100000
will be expended in the building Of
wagon roads.
Colonel Brownlow says that we have
over 200, 900 miles of the finest railway
in the world, more miles of railway
than all the rest Of the globe put to-
gether, yet we have the poorest wagon
roads Of any civilized country. He
believes that no one thing will do this
country 50 much good as the building
of wagon roads as provided for in this
bill. AS they are to be built in every
State Of the Union, they will be es-
pecially valuable as an object lesson.
Experience has shown that wherever
good roads exist, every one wants
more Of them.

GOOD WORDS FOR OLD POLK
Editor of Rural Northwest Pays High
Compliment to Polk County
Farmers.

There was time, and it was not a
great many years ago, when Polk
County, Oregon, had the reputation,
justly or uniustly, of being a slow,
unprogressive county, agriculturally.
Now it is one of the best known agri-
cultural counties of the state, and is
fast acquiring a national reputation
through the reputation of its breeders
Of Angora goats, sheep and swine. Its
progressive farmers are by no means
confined to the breeders of fine stock,
but to the latter is due in the main the
fact that the county is gradually but
surely acquiring reputation which
is not confined to Oregon, but reaches
every portion of the United States
where there are those who are inter-
ested in good stock By far the greater
part of the Cotswolds which have
given Oregon the reputation of being
the leading state of the Union in rails
ing fine specimens of that breed are
in Polk county. The county is be-
coming known everywhere in the
United States as a place to go for fine
Angoras. In few years Polk county
will in all probability be as we'll
known for it's Lincoln sheep as it is
for its Cotswolds at the present time.
1t has herd Of Poland China swine
of which the whole Pacific Coast may
be proud. The men who develop such
fiocks and herds and give to their
county such a reputation as Polk
county is acquiring are great bene-
factors to the county, and the good
results of their work will continue
long after they are gone. 1t has
already reached the point where the
man who would make business of
rearing fine Angora goats or Cotswold
sheep will find it more profitable to
start in Polk county than in any other
county in the United Jtates. Unless
extraordinary efforts are put forth
elsewhere this will become more and
more the case. The coming breeders
may as breeders even excel the men
who are now giving the county its de-
served good reputation, but the
breeders of today deserve the special /
credit which belongs to pioneers of an
industry The work of the future
breeder in that county will be appreci-
ated from the start The present
breeders must overcome the natural I
encouragement which results from
knowing that there are very few who
understand or appreciate the nature
of the work they are doing. Such
work as is being done in Polk county
by it's breeders of fine stock demands
honor for the men who are doing it.
They may not all be without flaws,
but everyone of them who is skillfully
up fine flock or herd is do
ing that which will in the end benefit
others much more than himself

struction of a system of water works.
So confident was the city council of
the outcome of the contest, that work
on the plant was begun few weeks
after the trial Of these cases was had
in the Circuit Court, and at time
when it was known that Judge Boise
and Mrs. Hallock were preparing to
appeal to higher tribunal. The re-
suit is that the decision of the Supreme
Court is in advance Of the completion
Of the waterworks by only few
weeks.
While these suits have cost the city
a neat sum of money, everything
sought has been gained. Dallas has
a perpetual right to use the water of
Canyon Creek for domestic and fire
purposes. and one or two property
holders will no longer be enabled to
stay the progress Of a live and grow
ing city Of 1900 inhabitants. In pur-
sueing steady and unswerving
course in providing an abundant sup
ply of pure and wholesome mountain
water, the city council has obeyed the
will of the people as clearly expressed
in two elections. The hearty approval
and loyal support of large majority
Of the citizens of Dallas have lent in
valuable aid and encouragement to
the city officers in the long and stub
born contest, now happily ended for
all time. The battle has been fought,
and right has prevailed.
