FOR BETTER ROADS.

The opportunity Of lifetime tC
secure good material for road-build.
ing at a small cost is offered to the
people Of Polk county by the extension
of the Dallas and Falls City railroad
into the mountains west of Falls City.
The new road will open up immense
deposits Of the best rock in Oregon for
road purposes, and the expense Of in
stalllng a crusher to grind up this
rock would not be great. With the
excellent railroad facilities Of the
county, this crushed rock could be
hauled to all parts of the county and
dumped at the stations and road
crossings, to be hauled by the farmers
and distributed along the county roads
wherever so directed by the road
supervisors. The railroads would
gladly sieze the opportunity to In
crease their earnings by granting
low freight rate for hauling this
material, and good roads could be
built at comparatively small cost.
No county in Oregon is better able
to build good roads than is our own
county Of Polk. The county debt is
practically wiped out of existence, and
the cost Of a rock crusher would
scarcely be felt by the taxpayers.
Such a purchase would result in a
neat saving Of money in the long run,
and would farther result in good
roads being built in every precinct in
the county.
Thousands Of dollars will be spent
in gravel improvements on the county
roads within the next few months, and
a great portion Of this money will be
practically thrown away, despite the
best efforts Of the road supervisors.
What taxpayer is there who does not
wish that this money could be spent
for crushed rock instead of dirt,
boulders and soapstone?
II the County Court desires to win
the everlasting gratitude of the people
of Polk county, it will purchase a
rock crusher and begin building
permanent roads at the earliest oppor-
tunity. Such an investment of the
public funds would meet the approval
OF every thinking farmer and business
man in the county.

Bible Study Institute.

The Bible Study Institute of the
Young Mems Christian Association
of Oregon, held in the Evangelical
church in Dallas over last Sunday,
was a successful meeting in every
sense of the word. Unfortunately. not
more than half the delegates who ex-
pected to attend could be present, but
those did attend enjoyed the institute
to the fullest extent. Among the
prominent Y. NJ. G. A. workers present
were Lester Mclean, of New York :;
Il. o. Hill, of San Francisco, and "
Rhodes, of Portland. Thirty delegates
were in attendance, representing Mon
mouth, McMinnville, Forest Grove
Corvallis, Salem and Eugene.
The members of the Dallas COLLEGE,
Association wish to thank the citizens
of Dallas for the hospitality which
made it possible to hold the institute
in this city.

Governor Chamberlain's veto OF
Senate bill 1893 of the session Of 1908
amending the Australian ballot law
was sustained by the senate, Monday
by vote Of 26 to 8. The bill provides
that the Australian ballot shall be
changed so that by making a single
mark a voter may cast straight
party ticket. The Governor gave as
his reason for the veto that the change
would aid corruption in elections. The
three senators voting to pass the bill
over the Governors veto were Lough-
ary, Rand, and Farrar. The veto
of the bill to purchase a mansion for
the Governor was also sustained.

DEATH UNDER CAR WHEELS
Conductor w. g. Cressy Meets ra'"'
Accident While Switching Cars
in Monmouth.

Warren G.. Cressy, conductor on the
independence & Monmouth Hallway
fell under the wheels Of a moving
lumber car in Monmouth Saturday
afternoon, receiving injuries from
which he died few hours later. Inc
accident occurred at the street cross
ing in front Of the Monmouth posi-
office, and it is supposed that ne
attempted to board the moving car
lost his hold and fell under the
wheels. His left leg was almost
severed from the body, and his left
arm was badly crushed.
He was Immediately taken to his
home in Independence, where Dr. u
d. Butler advised that he be sent 10
Portland hospital at once. Permls-
sion was obtained to run a special
train over the West Side road to PORT
land and the trip was quickly made,
but the veteran conductors injuries
we're of such a serious nature that ne
died Just as the train was entering the
city.
The body was returned to Independ-
ence, and the funeral was held in the
Auditorium, Tuesday afternoon. The
services were conducted by DR.. E. j.
Thompson, and were attended by a
large crowd of sorrowing friends.
Conductor Cressy was one of the most
popular railroad men in Oregon, and
was held in the highest esteem by all
who knew MIN.
The following brief sketch of Mr..
Cressy's life is taken from the Inde-
pendence Enterprise:
"W. G. Cressy was born in Brad
ford, New Hampshire, November l.,
1896, and therefore would have been
SO years old had he lived till Novem-
ber of this year. He began railroad
ing at the age Of II, and with the
exception of a few years, followed his
chosen calling since that time. His
longest service with one road was
with the Concord & Clairmont, of
which he was conductor fourteen
years. At the time of the Chicago
fire he was conductor on the Chicago
& Rock Island road, and was the first
to take train out of the city and
brought in the first car load Of pro-
visions after the fire.
''In 1873 Mr.. Cressy was yard
master at Omaha, and from there
went to Sacramento Valley, where he
was conductor two years. In 1875 he
came to Independence and for year
had charge of Southern Pacific train
running from Corvallis to Portland.
When the Oregon Pacific, now the
Corvallis & Eastern railroad was
built, he was given the first train
running between Corvallis and va
quina. Mr.. Cressy then rested from
railroad work for five years, living
during that time at Newport. 1t was
Mrs. W. G.. Cressy, the surviving
widow, who as landlady, built up the
name Of 'Cressy House. so popular
among summer tourists to Newport.
The estate still owns the 'Cressy
House property. From Newport, Mr..
Oressy and family moved to Inde-
pendence and for the few wears nast

rapid growth in population and com
mercial importance that has won for
her a place second to none among the
progressive towns of Oregon? Do we
desire to double our population and
the value of our property? II so, we
must advertise-and lose no time in
doing so. No time is to be wasted, If
we would accomplish the best results.
The Dallas Board Of Trade is receiv-
ing requests for information relative
to the town and surrounding country
every day, and the people who are
asking this information are entitled
to a prompt and courteous answer.
So far the officers of the Board have
answered all these letters at their own
expense, having no printed matter to
send. These requests for information
are coming so rapidly at the present
time that it is no longer possible to
answer by personal letter, and until
printed booklets or pamphlets are pro-
vlded, all inquiries will have to be
ignored.
This condition Of affairs is worthy
the serious consideration of the Board
Of Trade and every citizen Of Dallas
and the surrounding country. 1t is a
matter in which all good citizens
should cooperate to bring about the
best results. AS one of our exchanges
wisely remarks: eff you are interested
in the growth Of your county and city,
in the value of your property, in
lower taxes, in better transportation
facilities, in better roads, better
schools, and better market for your
goods,you will assist the organizations
that are working to bring about these
Improvements.

Senator Avery has introduced a bill
in the senate to abolish the office of
county recorder in Benton. The office
at present yields a salary OF $1,000 a
year, but the bill introduced purposes
that the duties of the recorder be
turned over to the clerk, the latter to
be allowed a deputy with a salary Of
S6OOa year. This is a wise move on
the part of our neighbor county, being
in the direction Of economy and more
service.

he was connected in one capacity OF
another, usually as conductor with
the Independence and Monmouth
Motor railway.

Polk county is modest enough. de-
string appropriations for nothing in
the way OF fairs, only asking that the
Normal school at Monmouth receive
reasonable attention from the ways
and means committee. The Mon
mouth school is doing good work.
This cannot be said of every normal
school. At present Oregon is suffer-
ing from a surplus of normal schools.
To trade off one or two of these plants
for something more needed would be
well.-Albany Herald.

ON thing that always impresses me as
/ go about the streets" said the town
traveller, lis the good -humored cheerful
ness, and more than that, often the evident
high spirits of the citys truckmen as they
plough their way along after a heavy snow
fall. Even when the going is at its best it
is difficult enough in many streets to navi-
gate a loaded truck. In all it is just about
fourteen times as hard when the going is
heavy with snow. The indomitabe truck
man rises TO the occasion not only cheer
fully, but often enough almost if not quite
gleefully, as though little things like great
difficulties were something right in his line,
that he'd rather collar than not, for he
never gives up-he gets there somehow.

friend tells me that In the exhibition of
