There was a special meeting of the
city council Saturday night for the
purpose Of considering police Iegula-

council presided. and the council
voted that the marshal be instructed
to carry out all laws ON the city ordi

to the Sunday closing law. in con
sequence of which all saloons kept
closed doors last Sunday.
Hop picking is progressing rapidly |
in most of the yards. A number of
plckers have returned to their homes
and several yards are working with a
short crew, and in fact most all of the
YARDS could use more pickers. The
lops are being affected by the lice
lnd mold and all growers are anxious
o complete the harvest. The rains
md wind of last week caused many
zines to be down, which is proving IA
letriment.

About This Country.

If possible, the Passenger Depart
ment of the Oregon Railroad e Navi.
cation Company and Southern Pacific
(Lines in Oregon) has surpassed itself
in the 1906 issue of its new publication,
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and
their resources.
The purpose of the publication is to
attract homeseekers and investors to
the Pacific Northwest and this publi-
cation is undoubtedly the best mes
senger that could be sent by residents
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho to
their friends in the East and Middle
West.
Beautiful half tones, printed on
superb book paper, make the publica-
ton, which contains So pages and a
map of the section, a work of art, but
far superior to the typographical
makeup is the contents of the book.
Under many heads covering practi-
cally all the resources of the states
are short, pithy stories of what has
been accomplished, not what might be
lone, but actual facts and figures ac-
'ompanied by names and addresses

SCHOOL FAIR NEXT WEEK
State Superintendent AckermaH Win
Deliver an Address on Friday
Evening.

The Polk County School Children S
Industrial Fair, an event awaited
with impatient eagerness by the
school-ehildren all over the county,
will be held in Dallas next week, be-
ginning at noon on Friday, September
2Sth, and closing at 8 o'clock Satur
day afternoon. On Thursday and
during the forenoon Friday, the ex-
hibits will be installed in the college
gymnasium, which has been secured
for that purpose. People generally
are manifesting interest in the Fair,
and the business men of Dallas have
been very liberal in their contribu
tions of cash and other prizes. Dur
ing the progress of the fair there will
be interesting sports, and good music
will be provided for the entertainment
of visitors. State superintendent
Ackerman will be present, and give
an address Friday evening.
Tomorrow morning in the Office of
the county superintendent, the mems
and women's committees on the fair
will meet with committees from the
city council and LaCreole club to
make arrangements relative to the
coming event, and it is a foregone
conclusion that nothing will be left
that might contribute to the
success of this most worthy enterprise.

President Roosevelt wires congratu-
latlons to Prosecutor Heney upon his
success in securing the conviction of
80 many land fraud operators in Ore
gon. The President might have
added a word OF commendation for
the law-abiding people of Oregon who
have made these convictions possible.
just a little word of confidence in
Oregon and her people would have
been gratifying, especially to those
Oregon politicians who have called so
loudly upon the voters to "Stand by
Roosevelt every time there has been
a constable to elect. The voters have
stood" all right, but the President
doesn't seem to appreciate it. Is it
possible that Strenuous Teddy looks
upon all Oregon people as scalawags?

WOULD MAKE FINE DISPLAY
Principal Reynolds Urges Parents to
interest Their Children i'm
School Fair.

Are you taking the interest in the
Industrial Fair that will enable this
district to make creditable showing
September 2Sth and goth? Encourage
your children to do something to help
in making a fine display. You can
have the girls prepare jellies, canned
fruits, bake bread and cake, and
gather up their flowers and exhibit
samples of sewing. You can have the
boys bring in their popcorn, sweet
corn, field corn, pumpkins, cabbage,
beets, onions, potatoes and any other
garden product that they may have
raised. Boys and girls if you have
raised or prepared anything, bring it
in, even if you think you cannot get a
prize. 1t may help your school to win
the prize offered by Superintendent
Starr for the best district exhibit a
piano.
DO not leave the work for someone
else, for il you do the district will not
be represented as it might have been.
or course it is too late to grow any.
thing, but it is not too late to gather
what is grown and to make iellies.
etc. Bring garden truck, potatoes,
cabbage, etc, and canned fruits Thurs
day, September 27th. Flowers, bread, |
cake, on Friday morning, very early.
There are many valuable prizes offered |
by the County Superintendent, as we'll
as the 800 in prizes offered by the
district Yours truly,

Want Public School,

People living at the sawmills and
logging camps in the mountains above
Falls City have petitioned Superin-
tendent Starr for public school. The
Willamette Valley Lumber Company,
the Oberer-Meyer Mill Company, and
others interested generously offer to
build a schoolhouse and pay a part of
the teachers salary. Superintendent
Starr hopes to make arrangements
whereby the school will be provided
as part of the Falls City district.
About 40 children live in the logging
camps and educational facilities are
badly needed.

Two More Teachers.

The board of directors of the Dallas
public school met Wednesday night
and elected Miss Mama Forbes and
Miss Inez Allen members ofthe teach
ing corps. Grades will be assigned to
all the teachers tonight. The board
decided to furnish a room in the
school building for the new 9th and
10th grades and instructed Clerk
Campbell to purchase the necessary
furniture. The two new teachers
chosen are highly competent and their
selection will be pleasing to the patrons
of the school.

WELL EQUIPPED FACTORY
F. j. Chapman Adds Carpet Sewing
Machine and Other Needed
COnveniences.

An Eschweiler carpet sewing ma
chine is the latest addition to L. J.
Chapman's well-equipped furniture
factory and store in this city. This
interesting little piece of mechanism
does it work quickly and we'll, the
sewing being Far superior to the old
style hand work. 1t is the only
machine of its kind on the West Side,
and cost its owner $l25. 1t is a great
time saver, and its purchase was
made necessary by a rapidly in
creasing carpet trade.
Mr. Chapman is steadily adding to
his stock to meet the demands of a
growing trade and now occupies two
floors Of the Campbell block, in addi-
ton to two large warehouses back of
the store With the increase of his
business he has steadily added to mis-
facilities formanufacturing furniture.
and his output now includes nearly
all classes of house furniture. He
also does a large amount of up
holstering, his work in this line being
of the very best quality. His next
addition will probably be machine
for the manufacture OF bed springs,
of which he sells several hundred
each year.
The axe-handle factory run in con-
nection with his business is operated
10 its full capacity, and more orders
are received for these useful articles
han he can fill. The handles are of
superior quality of oak, and cannot
)e surpassed for shape and finish.

1t is rumored that w. s. U'Ren will
be a candidate for United States
Senator when a successor to Charles
W.Fulton is to be chosen. 1.-The is a can
didate, he will doubtless go before the
people on his record as an fnitiator of
legislation vesting greater powers of
popular government with the voters.
Should Mr.. U'Ren enter the race, he
would prove a formidable candidate.
The people of Oregon have already
seen enough of his work to make them
know that he usually gets what he
wants. The fact is, Mr.. U'Ren is the
biggest man in Oregon today. He
secured the adoption of the initiative
and referendum he wrought an entire
change in the manner of holding
elections in Oregon; he secured the
adoption OF no less than a dozen i'm
portant state laws and constitutional
amendments in the last election, and
he made Jonathan Bourne the peoples |
candidate for United States Senator
With the popularity and influence
gained in bringing about these re-
suits, it is doubtful if any man in
Oregon is stronger than w. s U'Ren.
Senator Fulton has done nothing to
strengthen himself with the people
during his term of office, and it is
certain that he will have strong oppo-
sition if he asks for the nomination a
second time. Mr.. Fulton, it is true.
announced his Endorsement of many
OF U'Ren's Populistic measures, after I
they had become laws, but this late {
hour approval will avail him little in {
The event that the next Senatorial elec- {
ion narrows down to contest between t
and Mr.. U'Ren. The Oregon
City statesman has not been working
lp his game all these years for s
lothing. He can give Fulton cards t.
md spades and still beat him at it, n

FROM THE SYMBOLS.
SYNOD OF LOUISIANA.

The meeting of Synod, which conven-
ed on November 18th, at Baton Rouge,
was presided over by Rev. J. Y. Allison,
d. D., as moderator and Elder E. F..
Koille as temporary clerk. Twenty
eight ministers and thirteen elders
were in attendance.
Secretaries Sweets, Morris and Reavis
and S. w. Somerville, the superinten-
dent of the Assembly's Home and
School, were present and made elo-
Quent pleas in behalf of their respective
causes.
The only death which occurred in the
ranks of the ministerial members Of the
Synod during the year, was that of Rev.
G. M. Atkinson, D. D., for nearly fifty
and its predecessor, the Synod Of Miss
issippi. Rev. G. A. Hyland, Rev. F. w.
Lewis, D. D., and Elder Geo. B. Mat
thews, were appointed a committee to
prepare a memorial of his life and to
publish it as soon as possible.
Rev. r. II. Aston and Rev. j. w. Lee,
members of the colored Presbytery of
Ethel, in the Synod of Mississippi but
laboring in the bounds of the Louisiana
Synod, were invited to sit as correspond
ing members.
The Board of Trustees for Presby-
terrain Publications, reported that
Synod's property in New Orleans is in
the best of repair and its value is be-
beved to be still enhancing. The in
come will now be three thousand dol
lars per year. The Southwestern Presby-
terrain, published by the board, has TIA
