HERE IS ENTERPRISE
Farmers on Falls City Canyon Road
Will Build Telephone Line to
Dallas.

FALLS CITY, March Ito the
Editor. THE ranchers living on the
canyon road between here and Dallas
do not propose to sit idly by and see
the good things of this life pass with
out enjoying some Of them. They
propose to build a telephone line from
here direct to Dallas, the line TO
follow the canyon road The distance
is only a miles, and the line will ac-
commodate about 80 rural sub
scribers, besides the subscribers of
Falls City and Dallas. This line will
accommodate more people to the mile
than any other line in the state, and
consequently will be the cheapest.
1t is proposed to give the public
schools of Falls City, Oakdale and
Dallas free switching privileges also,
the county courthouse. By this means,
the parents can communicate with the
teacher or pupils at all times, and it
will be convenient for the School
Superintendent, as it will save him
travel and expense many times. The
farmers will be able TO talk to the
officials in the county courthouse, and
much time and trouble will be saved
to all. 1t is believed that this will be
the most generous and popular line
in the state.
This is a new enterprise, but the
citizens are very enthusiastic and will
have the line in operation by July f..
1t is to be a mutual line, and every
subscriber will own his own phone.

New Clothing Store.

Abel Uglow, of this city, and his
son, John @. Uglow, of South Bend,
Wash, will open a clothing store in
the Uglow building on Mill street in
the near future. A complete stock Of
clothing and mems furnishing goods
will be carried. John Uglow, who
will probably have charge of the
stock, is at present in the employ Of a
large mercantile firm in South Bend,
and has had much valuable ex-
perience in handling clothing and
furnishings. The new firm will put
in a first-class stock Of new goods.

POLK COUNTY EDITION
Rural Spirit DevOtes Special Number
to Best County in
Oregon.

The Rural Spirit, published in Port
land, Oregon, and one Of the leading
agricultural papers in the West
issued an interesting and complete
illustrated edition Of Polk county and
her resources last week. 1t is a neat
and we'll arranged publication from
the large picture Of the Polk county
courthouse on the first page to the
smallest advertisement on the last
page. The wrlte-up is headed "The
Bl;.e Ribbon County at the Oregon
State Fair, 1903" The demand for
the paper has been so great from resi-
dents of Polk county, real estate men,
immigration bureaus in Portland, and
the Southern Pacific railroad COM
pany, that the publishers are consid-
ering the advisablity Of getting out a
second edition. The paper says Of
Polk county editorially:
''The Rural Spirit presents its read
ers this week with special illustrated
write-up of Polk county, This county
is situated in the center of the Will
La-saA5tte- z1e> Hey, and has gained a ma
tional reputation through the enter
prise Of it's goat, sheep, hog, hop and
fruit raisers, and is in the wake for
further fame as dairy section, for
which it is we'll adapted. Nature has
been lavish in her good things to the
enterprising citizens Of this county,
and they are making good use of the
same. No county in the state has
gained more new settlers within the
past year than Polk, and they are
more than satisfied with their new
homes. The hop industry is one Of its
leading income producers, followed
closely by lumber, mohair, wool and
other general products of the farm.
Several enterprising farmers are en-
gagged in breeding fine stock, and
Polk will take a place in the list of
dairy counties ere long. There is
nothing that a home seeker needs
which is not found in this county.
Good travelling facilities, schools, and
educational institutions, pure noun
tam water, excellent soil and all the
advantages of modern civilization,
with a prudent county management
which has kept taxation down far be-
low the average of other counties in
the state.
'While the write-up is we'll illustrat-
ed it is not over-drawn, us it would be
difficult to do so when the subject is
Polk county 1t has been the home
of many of Oregon's builders and
her present generation keeps the pace
which was set by the sturdy pioneers"

CHOICE OE A SENATOR.

AS the time for holding the
Republican primaries draws near,
interest in politics begins to grow
warm. The number Of candi-
dates in the field at the present
time for the various offices, and
especially the Offices of minor i'm
portance, is surprisingly small, but
it is not unreasonable to presume
that this paucity Of aspirants for
political honors will rapidly dis
appear as convention day APP
proaches. There has never been
any complaint of scarcity of
candidates in a Republican con-
vention in Polk county, and it is
not likely that the conditions this
year will prove any exception to
those that have prevailed heretofore.
The chiefinterest in the approach
ing campaign will be centered in
the selection of a State Senator, for
the reason that the successful
candidate in the June election will
have a voice in choosing a United
States Senator two years hence.
Polk county is safely Republican
on a normal count, and there is no
reason to doubt that the Republican
candidate for this important office
will be elected by neat majority.
1t is generally conceded that the
candidate this year will be a Dallas
man. Republicans all over Polk
county, with one accord, declare
that Dallas is entitled to the
Senatorial candidate. This generous
concession is made voluntarily,
and for this reason is doubly appre-
ciated by the Republicans of Dallas.
No demand has ever been made by
Dallas for this office; in fact, it has
not been even asked for, but comes
entirely as a Tree will offering. 1t
is urged by Republicans in outside
precincts that Dallas furnishes
nearly one-fourth of the Republican
vote of the county, and that this
vote has been powerful factor in
carrying the Republican ticket to
victory in past years. AS token
Of recognition and good will, Re-
publicans in every outside precinct
in the county, as by a common
impulse, urge that a Dallas man
should be nominated for State
Senator. All that is asked in this
connection is that the Republicans
of Dallas decide upon a candidate,
and, when this candidate is chosen,
a loyal and hearty support is
pledged.
The OBSERVER is safe in saying
that the name that will be offered |
by the Republicans of Dallas is |
that of e, G. kirkpatrick. Of this
choice of an overwhelming majority |
OF our people, there is not the
slightest question or doubt. Mr..
Kirkpatrick has announced his
candidacy for this office, and will
use every honorable means to secure
the nomination. In this laudable
ambition, he will have the support
of solid delegation from each of
the three precincts in Dallas, and
the result of the vote in the primary
election will be such as to leave no
doubt in the mind of any delegate
to the convention that he is Dallas
choice for State Senator.
Occasionally, a stray word is
heard here and there that Mr..
kirkpatrick will have opposition

in Dallas, and that u. S. Loughary,
the present County Clerk, is pre-
pairing to make the race for Senator
No one familiar with the situation
will believe for an instant that such
is the case. Mr.. Loughary has
been twice honored by the Repub-
licans of Polk county, and in both
instances Mr.. Kirkpatrick'5 friends
were Mr.. Loughary's friends. Mr..
Loughary had no stronger friend
and supporter than Mr.. Kirk
patrick himself, and if the former
gentleman had any intention of
seeking the senatorial nomination
he would be the first to announce
that fact to Mr. Kirkpatrick. Mr..
Loughary knows that Mr.. Kirk
patrick is a candidate, and will
never allow his name to be used in
any manner that will injure Mr..
Kirkpatrick's chances in the least,
if he has no intention of making
the race himself. The OBSERVER
makes this assertion without The
least hesitation, and every man in
Polk county who knows Scott
Loughary will agree that we are
correct.
The OBSERVER is inclined to be-
lieve that the little handful Of
Republicans who are opposing
Mr.. Kirkpatrick are using Mr.
Loughary's name in this connec-
ton in order to further their own
plans. Just what they expect to
gain by this course is not clear. If
their motive is to try TO draw from
Mr.. Kirkpatrick's strength in the
hope Of stampeding the convention
to some undesirable candidate at
the last moment, they may as well
abandon the attempt at once. No
man who is afraid to come out into
the open ground need cherish any
hope Of securing the Republican
nomination this year, The party
is in earnest in its effort to nomi-
nate a ticket in clean and
straightforward manner, and will
not tolerate any sharp practice or
underhanded work by those who
dare not make an open fight.
As we stated at the outset, Dallas
will present to the convention a
candidate for State Senator, and
that candidate will be e. G. Kirk
patrick. The offer of the outside
precincts to accept Dallas candidate
is made in good faith, and that Mr..
Kirkpatrick will be nominated in
the convention there is not the
slightest doubt. The Republican
party in Polk county will make no
naiotoho ri1cn &ioJ' nenaite44t-44-.leiistayI
and the people Of Polk county will |
make no mistake when they elect
him.
The candidate whom Dallas will
offer to the convention is a man
who will represent Polk county
with dignity and honor; a man who
has made a success Of his own
affairs, and a man who will care
fully guard the interests Of the
people at all times and under all
circumstances; a ready talker, a
skilled debater, and one of the
ablest parliamentarians in the
state of Oregon; man who is true
to his party and true to his friends;
a man in whose makeup, ingrati-
tude or selfshness has no part.
These are few ofthe qualifications

whom the Republicans will nomi-
