PLEASANT COAST RESORT
Toll Road From Grand ROnde tt
Salmon River Beach Is Now
Open to Travel.

Among all the picturesque spots
along the Oregon coast, none is more
attractive than the country at the
mouth of Salmon River. The beach
is firm and smooth, the scenery is
wild and rugged, the streams are full
of trout, game is plentiful, and she'll
fish in abundance are found at the
rivers mouth. Hundreds OF ideal
camping places are to be found along
the road and at the beach. 70 those
tired and .overworked mOrtals who
wish to enjoy quiet outing and to
escape the exacting demands OF society
at the fashionable Summer resorts,
the Salmon River beach offers a charm
that proves irresistible.
In the early days of Oregon, the
Salmon River beach was the popular
pleasure resort of the people OF the
Willamette Valley, and hundreds OF
families camped there every year. In
those days the road across the noun
tains was keptin good state of repair,
and the trip could be made with ease
and comfort. But after time, the
toll-road was abandoned, and for the
last fifteen or twenty years it has been
all but impossible. Men with capital
have often travelled over the road in
recent years with view to restoring
it to it's old-time condition, but it
remained for two Yamhill county
physicians to take up the work and
carry it through to successful COM
pletion.
Early last Spring, DR.. W. Tyler
Smith, of Sheridan, and DR.. b. E.
Goucher, McMinnville, decided tc
build a first-class mountain road from
the crossing of the Yamhill river, al
the upper end of the Grand Ronde
agency, to the Salmon River beach
They bought small sawmill and
moved it into the mountains for use
in saving lumber to build plank
road over the marshy places anc
bridges across the streams Men were
put to work cutting the timber and
brush along the sides Of the road in
the shady canyons, and the grades
around the mountain sides were level
ed and widened. The improvement
has been going on for several months
and the road is now in better condi
ton for travel than it has ever beer
before.
The dirt road from Leno's ranch tC
Pheasant creek, a distance of three
miles, is smooth and dry, and nc
difficulty is encountered in. hauling
heavy loads over this steepest part OF
the mountain. The plank road begins
at Pheasant creek and ends at the
beach, a distance of twenty miles
Substantial bridges have been built
at all the river crossings, and the
perilous fording of swift and rocky
streams is a thing Of the past. The
entire trip may now be made in perfect
safety in u light buggy, and heavy
teams are driven over the plank road
in sweeping trot The toll-gate is at
Round Prairie, and the rates of toll
are reasonable.
That the new road is destined to be
popular with coasters is assured be-
yond doubt. Travel has been heavy
since the road was opened two weeks
ago, and inquiries as to it's condition
have been received from all parts of
the valley. Twenty-Five teams passed
through the toll-gate in two days last
week, and the number is increasing
every day.

REFLECTED Old Officers.

The stockholders of the Dallas CITY
Bank held their annual meeting in
the Bank parlor last Saturday after
noon. All of the old officers were
elected for another year, and the
board of directors were continued in
Office. A semi-annual dividend of five
per cent was declared. The affairs of
the Bank are in a prosperous con-
dition.

SATISFACTORY ASSESSMENT

Dallas is justly proud Of her
sewer system. Few towns of this
size have sewerage, and the prompt
manner in which the city council
took up the improvement after the
water-works were completed, and
the substantial encouragement ac-
corded the officers in their work by
the citizens of the town, speak
highly for the enterprise and pro-
gressive spirit of the people of
Dallas. Many property-owners in
the business part of town have
already put in their sewer con-
nections, and the change for the
better is noticeable 1t is the in
tention of the council to order the
removal of all vaults and cesspools
in the business district at once.
The apportionment of the assess
ment of cost of the sewers was made
Monday evening, at which time
large number of interested property
owners were present at the council
session. No formal objections were
offered to the assessment, and these
citizens almost without exception
declared themselves entirely salts
fled with the manner in which the
cost Of the sewers was apportioned.
The cost in nearly every instance
was lower than the property owners
had anticipated, and, as a result,
the councilmen came in for hearty
congratulations instead of kicks.
The business district and large
portion OF the residence district of
Dallas now has frst-class
sewerage system, and the improve
ment was made without burdening
the city with asingle cent Of bonded
indebtedness. The cost of the
sewers will be paid by the property
embraced in the sewer district, and
suburban residents and other
owners of property not benefited by
the improvement will have nothing
to pay for but their proportionate
share of the outlet sewer at the
foot of Court street, the cost of
which was small. The outlet sewer
will benefit every street alike, as
all sewers to be built hereafter will
be connected with it. The council
did not deem it necessary to levy
special tax for the small amount of
money required in building the
outlet sewer, but ordered it paid
out of the general fund of the city.
Now, that system of sewerage
is installed in Dallas, the work of
future councils along this line will
be easy. The portion of the city
most needing sewerage has been
supplied with that important i'm
provement, and the work of en-
larging the sewer district can be
taken up at any time when the
people shall ask for more sewers, or
when necessity shall require that
the system be extended. The veX-
ing problem of making a Just and |
equitable apportionment of cost be-
tween business property and resi-
dence property will no longer be
in the way. The determination of
respective benefits and valuations
will not be a difficult matter in
the residence district OF the city,
where lots are more nearly equal
in size and valuation, and where
the benefits to be derived will be
about the same in all locations.

CONTROL OF RAILROADS.
Granting More Power TO Commits
sion.

President Roosevelt yesterday consld-
mendation tina increased powers be
conferred by legislation upon the Inter-
state Commission. Those to
whom he talked were not only MEM
bers OF Congress, but men in other
walks of life. To all he indicated mis-
earnest desire that action of a definite
~nature-action that would bring results
to the ~people-should be taken as soon
as practicable.
A day or two ago he considered the
question with Judge Grosscup, of Chi
cago. Yesterday he discussed it with
Judge William w. Morrow, of the Unit
ed States Circuit court at a Fran
cisco. He also talked about the question
to Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, n
other members of Congress. 1t can
be said that no definite plan of leglsla-
ton yet has been decided upon.
BY invitation of the President, a spe-
cial committee of the Commercial TraV-
elers' Protective Association called on
him yesterday to consider his recon-
m~endation that the power of the Inter
state Commerce Commission be extend
ed so as to enable the commission to
pass upon questions of railroad freight
rates, subject on,y to review by the
courts. The committee consisted Of F.
w. Crandall, of st. Louis, chairman OF
the national railroad committee; Colo
mel John s. Haywood, of Richmond, Va,
chairman of the national legislative
committee and John c. Simmering OF
Baltimore, national director. The COM
mittee assured the President that,
the conclusion OF the conference, Chair
man Crandall issued a statement con-
corning it, in which hi said:

veloped that six months ago the annual
