The Lines on Sardinc Boxes.

II you are fond of sardincs, here Is
something that will be useful for you
to know. On nearly every box con-
tanning these d~clicacics will he found
two parallel lines cut in the top. The
distance between the lines denotes the
size of the fish. whether those in the
tin are small, medium or large. OF
course the smaller the sardines the
better Is their flavor, and therefore the
boxes with he lines close together con
tain the frest fish. Some dishonest
firms are very fond Of selling ~pilchards
to their c. toners and calling them
snrdines. but If you make up your mind
never to buy n box unless 1t has the
two closely drawn lines you may be
certain OF obtaining the article you
asked for.-London Standard.

reason the town is a lively trading
point in spite Of the unfavorable con-
ditions. The farmers like to trade
here, and many Of them even now
travel long distances under great
difficulties in order to reach this
market. Stop and think for a moment
what an improvement there would be
if every road leading into town were
put in a good condition for travel the
year round. The great volume OF
trade that is now going to other towns
would begin to pour into Dallas, and
the business of the merchants would
grow by leaps and bounds. The i'm
portance of such an Improvement can
scarcely be estimated. We think no
one will have the hardlhood to deny
that such a condition would follow
The question then naturally arises,
how long is Dallas going to do with
out the trade which naturally belongs
to her? How long are her citizens
going to stand for an antiquated moss
back method of road building that
has caused them to spend hundreds of
thousands Of dollars and given them
nothing in return? o, Lord, how
long?

song entitled "In My Home Among

been furnished. The words and music
are by Mr.. Snyder, and arranged by
DR.. Parvin. 1t tells a story of the
Philippine Islands, when the author
was in the hospital, suffering from a
wound in the shoulder. 1t is dedicated
to Bert Chandler, of Company C,of the
Second Oregon regiment, who died
from wound received in battle, and
while in the arms of Mr.. Snyder The
song is a true heart poem, with a
beautiful melody, and is sure to win
favor with the singers throughout the
country.-Salem Journal.

The Polk and Yamhill County Mo
hair Association on Saturday disposed
of two pools Of mohair, aggregating
9O,O 900 pounds, at an average price Of
80 cents. The mohair industry is of
comparatively recent date in this
state, but already it is making material
contributions to the profits of diversi-
fled farming. The goats not only turn
off a valuable fleece every year, but
are also quite useful in clearing
stubble from the land. Opening prices
for the fleece this year are higher than
last, and the clip is also larger and of
a better quality. .--Oregonian.

Valuable Dog Poisoned.

George Kutch's bird dog fell vic
tim to dog poison Sunday. 1t was a
dog in which Mr.. Kutch took much
pride and had taken special pains to
save from the poisoner abroad in the
country. Having raked his back
yard as an assurance against poison,
the dog was allowed the freedom Of
the lawn Sunday. About noon, the
dog was seen to scratch small piece
of meat or bologna sausage from the
grass, and before Mr.. Kutch could get
to him swallowed it. In a few hours he
was a dead dog, Independence West

The Street Commissioner is ex-
periencing considerable difficulty in
finding dirt enough to fill the old
street cisterns. The OBSERVER would
suggest that he wait until the next
rainy spell and take about four inches
of soil off the surface Of Main street
This dirt is especially adapted for
cistern-filling purposes. 1t is lots
better than ordinary dirt, being much
more expensive. 1t came from the
bars along the LaCreole river, and
cost the property-owners 25 cents a
load. Some Of it cost them as high as
40 cents load. 1t is the real, genuine
pulverized gravel, and the Street Com
missioner should not think of filling
the abandoned street cisterns with
common dirt so long as this supply
of superior material remains un-
exhausted.

DALLAS GREATEST NEED

How long Is Dallas going to stand
idle and see trade that belongs to her
diverted to towns that have well-im-
proved roads over which the farmers
can travel IN the rainy winter monthsP
Go into the rich farming country in
the northern part of Polk county,
where there are more wealthy farmers
to the square mile than in any other
portion Of Oregon, and ask the people
where they do their trading. Nine
out of ten of them will tell you that
they go to Sheridan or McMinnville.
Ask them why, and they will tell you
1t Is because they can drive to either
OF these points and back again quicker
than they can make the trip one way
between their homes and Dallas, and
further, because they can haul a
heavy load to McMinnville when they
can hardly drive across the hills to
Dallas with an empty wagon. Ask
them where they would rather do their
trading il all the roads were kept in
good condition for travel, and nine
out Of ten will answer in Dallas. "
This is the true situation as it exists
today, and IL any one doubts the cor
rectness Of this statement, let him go
among the farmers living around
Ballston and Perrydale and Mccoy
and ask these questions for himself
His doubts will be removed in short
order. The same conditions prevail
in large portion of the Luckiamute
country on the south, where many
farmers are kept away from Dallas IN
the winter by the next to impossible
condition of the Guthrie lane. The
Luckiamute people, like their northern
neighbors, are loyal to the towns in
their own county, and would rather
trade inside the county than outside
OF it. aud would do so ii conditions

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION

The new city officers will take their
seats Monday, May l. The present
council will endeavor to finish up all
business on hand before the end OF
April, SO as to allow the incoming
board to begin work with clean slate
The policy to be pursued by the new
council is not known, as there was no
welI-defintd issue between the oppos-
ing candidates in the campaign just
closed. No candidate was called upon
to express his views upon any question
of public importance, but the vote re-
ceived by the two old members of the
council who were candidates for re-
election plainly indicates that a
majority Of the people are dissatisfied
with the present administration.
The office Of Mayor or Councilman
is In many respects an undesirable
and thankless one, involving lots OF
hard work and no pay, and it is small
wonder that the average citizen
shrinks from accepting an office that
demands so much time and attention
from his private business. Someone
has to perform these duties, however,
and the citizen who will sacrifice his
own interests and give portion of
his time to the public business is en-
titled to the support and encourage
ment Of the people.
1t is only justice to the newly-elected
officers to presume that they will be
actuated by Il desire to promote the
welfare Of Dallas, and that they will
labor together faithfully and harmo-
niously to bring about the best
possible results for the town. In this
work they are entitled to the hearty
cooperation Of every citizen. Any
move of the council having for its
object the upbuilding Of Dallas and
the betterment Of the condition OF its
people should be given loyal support
and encouragement by every citizen
who has the good Of his town at heart
and desires to see it grow and prosper.
