The merchants OF Dallas. without a
single exception, report record-break-
ing holiday sales this season. Every
one seemed to have money to spend,
and the number OF credit sales was
much smaller than usual. This report
Of conditions cannot be other than
pleasing to every citizen interested in
the welfare and prosperity OF Dallas
When one considers the fact that
between $4,000 and $4,000 was taken
from circulation in this community
by the Lewis and Clark Fair that the
farmers Of Polk county made no
profit on their wheat crop this year,
and that hops we're sold at the lowest
price In four years, the proof of the
prosperity Of the people in spite of
these conditions, as shown by the
immense Christmas trade, is doubly
gratifying. The secret Of this healthy
condition Of trade can easily be ac-
counted for: Every laboring man in
Dallas has employment at fair wages.
The sawmills and numerous other
manufacturing institutions, railroads,
hop yards, farms and orchards all
give steady employment to working
men, and new money is continually
being brought into the town and dis
tributed among the wage-earners.
The people Of Dallas have learned by
experience that the town that provides
employment for labor will grow and
prosper. If the working man is
looked out for, all other business will
take care OF itself. Dallas is making
a steady and healthy growth, for
the reason that honest and indus
trlous laboring men can come here
and find work.

UNWILLING TO SEEK OFFICE

The statement made the other day
by Hon. E. L. Smith, Of Hood River,
when asked If he intended to be a
candidate for the Governorship, gives
expression to the thought Of many Of
the most worthy men, as to seeking
office under the new primary law.
you may say for me, said Mr.Smith,
to a reporter who asked him, that I
have not been, am not now, nor do 1
intend to be a candidate for Governor
Of Oregon. Furthermore, I would not
by initiation seek any office in the gift
Of the people"
Thus it is that the law of primary
election and nomination virtually
rules out a large class Of sensitive
and most worthy citizens, who are un-
willing to appear in the role and
character Of seekers.
The intent, or real basis, of this law
is the expectation that the citizen will
announce himself a candidate, and
then go before the voters and "scrap"
with rival candidates for the nomina-
tion. There are many whom it will
not suit to do this. They might accept
Office, but will not seek it.
There is no intention of casting re-
Elections Of any kind on those who
have no hesitation in coming before
the people as seekers of office, con-
tending with others for nomination
thereto. At the same time, the idea
held by many Of the most excellent
men that such course on their part
would not consist with their sense of
dignity, and propriety, is comprehen-
sible.
But Oregon intends to'give this pri-
mary law fair and full trial. Its ac-
tual merits or demerits can appear in
full only through experience
gonian.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1905-12-29

With the entrance of Mr.. Geer into
the race for the Goyernorship, it is
probable that all Of the candidates for
that important office are now in the
field. They are all good rustlers for
votes, and a lively campaign is prom
ised. Here in Polk county the opinion
is generally expressed that @. A.
Johns, of Baker City, will have lead
over the other candidates, for the
reason that this is his old home, and
his acquaintance among the voters is
wider than that Of any one of his
opponents. Mr. Johns practiced law
In Dallas for many years, filled the
office OF County Judge In highly
satisfactory manner, and made friends
of all with whom he became ac-
quainted. He married daughter Of
one of Polk's prominent pioneer fami-
lies, and was closely identified with
the social lite Of the town and county.
The people of Polk county have fol-
lowed his career with interest since he
moved to Baker City, and have re-
joiced with him in the success he has
achieved. 1t will, therefore, not be
surprising If Mr.. Johns leads all his
opponents by a handsome majority
when the vote of Polk county is
counted next April.

Goats and poultry will be on exhibi-
tion at the annual fair OF the Polk
County Mohair Association, to be held
at Dallas next month. The profits
that have been made in both goats
and poultry would indicate that not
enough Of either are being produced
in this state, and anything that will
increase the scope Of the industries is
entitled to earnest support from all
who are in any way interested in pro-
motion Of diversified farming. With
eggs selling at 40 cents per dozen and
the fresh article so scarce as to be
almost unobtaiDable, it is certainty
that our poultry focks are too small
and infrequent.- .-Oregonian.
