BUY FINE DRAFT HORSE
Prize Winning PercherOn Stallion at
st. Louis Fair Now Owned in
Polk County.

When it comes to buying blooded
horses, cattle, sheep, goats and hogs,
Polk county stock raisers are ''there
with the goods" Price cuts no figure
with men like Thomas Brunk, William
Riddell, U. S. Grant, Fred Koser, John
B. Stump, G. L. Hawley, and others, so
long as they can get the quality of
stock they desire. 1t is a fact worthy
Of note that Polk county breeders have
purchased the first prize winners at
nearly every livestock show held in
the Eastern States and Canada in the
last five or ten years. The result is,
that Polk county livestock ranks as
high as any to be found in the world
today.
The latest addition to the Polk
county breeding stock is the famous
French Percheron stallion "Tafia
(5l,53Q 34,911." This splendid horse
was bred in France by NJ. Louis
Poirier, and was foaled April 2, 1901.
Tatia was imported by Mclaughlin
Brothers, the well-known importers of
draft and coach stations, of Column
bus, Ohio, and was exhibited at the
ST. Louis Fair, where he won the Gold
Medal. Thirty-eight hundred dollars
were paid for him by his present
owners, Amos Holman, Of Dallas ;
j. b. Stump and William Riddell, of
Monmouth; AL Mclaughlin, of Inde-
pendence; Henderson Murphy and
George Wells, of Buena Vista.
Tatia was approved by the French
Government to stand for public
service in France. He is a perfect
draft horse of the highest quality,
enormous width, wonderfully heavy
bone and short legs. His present
weight is 1920 pounds. He is not only
one Of the biggest, but is one of the
very best draft horses that ever left
France and one Of the greatest show
horses either in America or Europe.

LET US WORK TOGETHER.

The Independence Enterprise tells
OF a meeting of the Independence I'm
provement League in which the matter
of the proposed Polk county exhibit at
the Lewis and Clark Fair was dis
cussed, and says:
"a letter from Judge Coad to Mayor
Cooper was read in which the Judge
said the county court Cannot, ought
not, and will not take charge Of the
matter of a county exhibit at the Lewis
and Clark Fair. The League took the
position that the court Can, ought
and must take charge of the matter. "
If the OBSERVER understands the
situation correctly, the County Court
is willing to help prepare the exhibit,
but is not willing to spend the peoples
money in paying a man salary to
remain in Portland during the entire
Fair and have charge Of the exhibit.
The Court has shown commendable
enterprise and public spirit by appro-
priating $500 to help defray the ex-
penses Of collecting a suitable exhibit
Of the county's products, but does not
feel justified in making further ap-
preparation to pay the salary of
manager Of the exhibit. The Court
has shown itself friendly to the project
at all times, and there is no reason to
believe that this friendly interest and
encouragement will not continue.
Any attempt to force the Court to do
something that it does otdesire to do,
would be in bad taste, and would only
prove fruitless in the end The better
way, and the only successful way, is
for every citizen of Polk county to
work harmoniously with the Court in
preparing an exhibit that will be
credit not only to Polk county but to
the whole State Of Oregon 1t is highly
desirable that the Court shall take the
lead in directing the preparation of
this exhibit, as it will be necessary to
have head to the work, but farther
than this direction Of the work and the
liberal appropriation already made,
the Court cannot reasonably be asked
to go. Let's cut out all this talk Of
"the Court must" or "the Court must
not, " and get together like good citi-
zens next Thursday afternoon and
outline plan of work that Will make
the Polk County exhibit the best at the
1905 Fair

1t is the plain duty Of every citizen
to go to the polls and vote on Tues
day, November 8. Never mind if the
campaign has been quiet and it is
taken for granted that Roosevelt and
Fairbanks will carry every state West
Of the Rocky Mountains. 1t is duty
that you owe to your country and your
party to vote. Oregon has made a
large gain in population in the last
four years, and we want the world to
know it. 1t would be humiliating, in
deed, if less number Of votes were
cast this year than were cast four
years ago. Other Pacific Coast states
will hold their state and county cleo
tions at this time, and these contests
will bring out full vote. Oregon,
having no local contests, must depend
upon the pride and loyalty of her citi-
zens to make a creditable showing for
the state.

Owner Takes Back Plant.

Ed Biddle is again in charge of the
Dallas Foundry and Iron Works,
w. G. Jackson, the late manager,
having thrown up his lease on the
plant. The foundry was established
by Mr. Biddle many years ago, and
under his management has always
been a. profit paying concern. The
machine shop in connection is finely
equipped for first class work, and or
ders for machinery and castings come
from all parts of the Willamette
Valley. Mr.. Biddle Is one of Dallas
substantial business men, and the
people will be glad to see him back at
the head Of this important manu-
featuring institution.

MASS MEETING CALLED
County Court Asks Citizens to Meet
and Discuss County Exhibit
For 1905 Fair.

The County Court requests the peo-
pie of Polk county to meet in the court
room next Thursday afternoon, at l
o'clock, to odiscuss plans for the pIepar-
alton of county exhibit at the Lewis
and Clark Fair. Mass meetings OF
this kind have been held in Marion,
Clackamas, Lane, and other counties
of Oregon, with the result that these
counties are working enthusiastically
and harmoniously in preparing suit
able exhibits for the big Fair.
A large delegation will be present
from Independence, and it is hoped
that the business men and citizens OF
Dallas, Monmouth, Falls City, as we'll
as the people of the smaller towns and
farming communities will turn out in
large numbers and make the meeting
successful in every way. The ladies
of the Dallas, Independence, Mon
mouth and Falls City Lewis and
Clark Divisions are also invited to be
present and take part in the delibera-
tions of the session.
Remember the date and the hour

the afternoon, in the county court

Even we're the Republican and
Democratic parties more equal in
strength, the success Of the former at
the polls next month would be assured,
since the young voters are almost
solid for Theodore Roosevelt. The
career Of Mr.. Roosevelt is one which
appeals to youth, and he is almost an
idol to the boy entering on manhood.
This, if there were no other issue at
stake, is sufficient to turn the scales
in favor of a man who is typical
American citizen and who has won
his way to fame through force of
personal merit. Telegram.

Henry L Reed, secretary of the
Lewis and Clark Corporation, is
pleased with the envelope designed by
the Ladies' Division, of Dallas. He
writes the OBSERVER as follows: 81
have for acknowledgment your letter
OF the 25th inst, inclosed in envelope
used to attract attention to Dallas.
This is the proper idea, and your peo-
pie should be encouraged to use these
envelopes, sending them far and wide.
You may rest assured that it would be
great pleasure to the Exposition
management il every Eastern visitor
to Portland next year would visit
Dallas, and be informed concerning
Polk county, You ought to have
$4,000 people in your county"

Only Fifty Names Added.

The registration books of Polk
county were closed at o'clock last
Friday afternoon, after remaining
open for thirty days. Fifty-six per-
sons registered during the month
allowed for the purpose, fifty of these
being new registrations and six
changing their residence. Fourteen
voters cancelled their registration in
Polk county, leaving net gain over
the Spring registration of SO. The
greater number of voters registering
during the month are residents of
Buena Vista precinct, where many
citizens failed to register last Spring.

The newspaper men returning from
Hood River have only pleasant things
to say Of that enterprising section and
its fine apples, on display during the
editorial convention. Several papers
very properly observe that any part
Of the Willamette valley can produce
apples probably as good as those of
Hood River. The trouble is that at
Hood River everybody sprays and the
orchards are well cared for, while in
the valley hereabout it is the exception
for this sort of care to prevail Hence
the wormy apples, The moral is
plain enough. Albany Herald.

Republican Speaking Called OF.

Hon. Grant B. Dimick, a Republi.
can candidate for Presidential Elector
was billed by State Chairman Baker
to speak in Independence last Friday
night, and in Dallas on Saturday
night, but for some reason, not given
for publication, the dates were cancell-
ed in both towns. The only political
meeting held by any Of the parties in
Polk county so far in the campaign
was the one at Falls City last Friday
night when W. H. Taltge. of Port
land, addressed the voters from a Re
publican standpoint H. W. Bancroft
presided, and there was a goodly
of voters.

When Secretary Shaw came to the
Pacific Coast few weeks ago to speak
in behalf Of the Republican National
ticket, the Democratic newspapers
criticized him severely for leaving his
post of duty to take part in a political
campaign. Now, Oregon's Democratic
Governor goes to California on a
campaigning tour, and these same
newspapers are as mum as mice. Be
consistent, gentlemen.

NEW YoRKs HERE.
Start Series With Senators Today and
Have Double-Header Tomorrow.


The Washington team arrived home yes
terday at noon from their last tour Of the
eastern cities. and Notwithstanding the
hard campaign everybody was in good
spirits. All the games played in Philadel-
phia and New York were above the aver
age, but the high class of these leading
teams, and their being on edge, kept the
Senators from winning more than two
games.
The New York Highlanders, headed by
Manager Griffith, reached Washington this
morning, and are registered at the Ebbitt.
Mr.. Griffith had little to say about the
New York team and the pending series
with the local aggregation. except that
persimmons were ripe and that he had the
boys who could gather them in.
The Senators and Highlanders start
series OF four games at American League
Park this afternoon. The game will be
called at o'clock, instead of 4:3O. on ac-
count of the lateness of the season. Town
send will pitch for the Senators, while
rubber for the New Yorks. The visitors
are particularly anxious to capture the en-
tire series, as 1t will give them a good
lead over the Bostons before they start for
grueling finish in the west. Both clubs
are at their best. and lovers of first -cIass
the ordinary. Tomorrow afternoon being
ladies' day. 1t was decided to play off a
double header with the New Yorks the
first game to start at o'clock. This will
be great afternoon of sport. as II will re-
quire great work on the Highlanders' part
and Clarkson will probably do the pitching
for New York, while Patten and Hughes
will do their best to make the Senators a
winner in at least one of the games.
