 Work is going forward rapidly on the piers for the bridge across White river at Branson. Nothing has been done on the piers in the river channel, four in number, but the shore piers are being put in and the others will be as soon as the danger of the flood is over. It is estimated that it will take about two months to build the piers and nearly as long to put the steel in place. -Cotter Cour- fer.
 The ballast has been completed to Oregon Flat with the excep- tion of about two miles between Annis and Keener, and that will be finished within the next week. The track will then be ready for traffic and a regular daily train will be run from Cotter to the Flats and return. Rather the train will start at the north end, come to Cotter in time to make connections with the passenger train for the south and will re- turn to Oregon Flats in the even- ing. It will be a mixed train with one coach, carrying freight, express, baggage and supplies for the front. Later a mail ser- vice will be established, probably l July 1.-Cotter Courier.

COMES TO THE RESCUE

County Assessor Carl Graves de-
cided yesterday afternoon to instruct
his field deputies to make an enumer-
alton of the hop, goat, mohair and
prune industries in Polk county, and
will make the returns official by certi-
flying the result to the Secretary OF
States office. AS Polk county pro-
duces no tobacco, gold-dust, oysters or
salmon, the columns provided in the
blanks for these industries will be
used in making the enumeration.
Mr.. Graves has been giving the matter
careful consideration for several days,
and, after consultation with Secre-
tary Dunbar over the telephone yester-
day afternoon, decided to pursue the
course outlined above. Polk county
will thus be enabled to make a proper
showing of her important resources
and the timely action OF Assessor
Graves will be appreciated by every
citizen of the county.

IGOROTTES SET SAIL
Native FiIipinOs Leave the Islands
This Week for Lewis and
Clark Fair.

Two hundred Igorottes, Moros, Neg
ritoes and Visayans will leave the
Philippine islands this week, arriving
in Portland the latter part of April,
where they will proceed Immediately
to the grounds of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition. These natives will popu-
late the Philippine village of the Gov
ernment peninsula at the Exposition.
Upon their arrival, the construction
of the Philippine village will be
started at once. A featuIe of this
will be a city of houses built ON
poles over the surface Of Guilds
Lake. This is the characteristic
of the expedient resorted to by the
natives to avoid reptiles and foes
of similar kind, The city of pole
houses will be occupied by the Moros
who with the Igorottes stand lowest in
the scale of civilization.

pal sustenance of the Igorottes, who
are concededed to be epicureans re-
garding this delicacy. The general
supposition is that hearty meal OF
boiled, fried or roasted canine ADDS
fervor to the fighting prowess OF
Tgorotte warriors. Accordingly, the
dogflesh is served only to the males,
the fairer sex being denied this rare
treat.
Visitors to the Centennial, however
need have no fear Of witnessing a
bloodcurdling combat, unless the
Portland police should become OBJ
streperous in the presence OF the
Igorottes, which would naturally re
suit in lively seance.

WANT COMMERCIAL WIRE
Farmers in Northern Polk ASK FOR
Direct Communication betwee"
Dallas and Sheridan.

The Dallas Switchboard Company,
owning and operating the mutual
talenhone switchboard in the Stafrln
drugstore. met and effected a reor-
oonization with twelve members
Saturday afternoon. Ofhcers were

will meet again tomorrow afternoon
to further perfect their organlzaVlon
and discuss plans for the future.
One Of the problems with which the
company will doubtless be called up.
on TO deal in the near future Is the
settlement of the difficulty arising
from disagreement between the TWO
mutual switchboard companies III

tend TO understand the cause OF thlS
disagreement, or what the rival com,
NAMES are contending for-lt woulu
raouire the services of corporation
LAWYER to unwind this tangle ana geV
at the straight of things-but as
nearly as we can learn the situation
ie as follows: The Cane switchboard
, comnanv in Sheridan has COM
!, mercial wire leading directly from
, that town to Dallas; the Olmsteau
: COMPANY in Sheridan has not. These
two switchboard companies are az
Q outs. and refuse to have anything 10
! do with each other in business way
( Consequently, when a subscriber Oh
o the Olmstead line desires to tax Vo
e Dallas, he goes about it as follows
Q He first calls up the Olmstead centraI
in Sheridan Olmstead calls Amity
Amity, having two commercial wires
n to Sheridan and being on good term'
). with both companies, calls Cane, anC
Cane calls Dallas. CThats the wa!
# we think they do it, although we ar
II not altogether sure about it, any
how. the 80 Polk county farmers OF
the Olmstead lines want commercla
- I, wire to Dallas, and they want tn
II Dallas switchboard company and tn
u business men Of the town to help tneI
y get it. They say If Dallas Will NEE
them with the wire somewhere IN ID
Of Salt Creek neighborhood, they wi
e, build the rest.
~ The OBSERVER doesn't pretend
n, understand the exact nature OF u
be differences between these two SWITCH
i'll board companies, or what justice thel
he ia in the claims Of either. One thlni
be however, is certain, and that is tn
about 80 good citizens OF Polk coun'
,v want direct telephone connection vii

in that the same aid and considerable
a be shown them as has been extend'
oh To other companies centering
ar Dallas. That the matter may be la
he souarely and fairly before our reade
itv in Dallas, we shall be glad to publi
anv business-like statement that nj
-. be offered by either or both compani'
20 N Both sides are entitled to a hearin
