FIRE IN SAWMTLL.
Excellent Water System Saves the
Johnson Milling Plant From
Total Destruction.

Fire broke out in the Johnson saw
mill yesterday, at noon, and for few
minutes the building was threatened
with destruction. The origin of the
fire is doubtful but is thought to have
been caused by sparks from a boring
iron falling into some shavings and
waste and which quickly spread to the
roof. The excellent water system at
the mill was promptly brought into
use and the blaze soon extinguished
with only a nominal damage as the
result. The mill people are to be con-
graduated on their excellent system
for il they had been compelled to de-
pend upon the city department. for
assistance, before help had arrived
their property would have been totally
destroyed.

Cephas Nelson and family have
arrived in Dallas from Chilliwack,
British Columbia, and will probably
locate in Polk county. They are
living in the George Starr dwelling
house on Levens street for the present.
Mr.. Nelson is dairyman and stock
raiser of many years experience, and
is looking for ranch adapted to this
branch of industry. Like all farmers
who have lived in dairy country, he
realizes the importance Of creameries
and cheese factories to a community.
and says that the farmers of Polk
county should not only support the
creameries already established, but
should encourage the building of
others. He says that if suitable land
can be secured, fully 25 families will
come from British Columbia to
western Polk county to make their
homes.

Pathologists say an old sick COW is

the balance of the flesh is not danger
Gus to human health. The horse editor

that whether it is injurious to health
or not it is most deucedly offensive to
decency, and utterly disgusting to
think about. Secretary Wilson should

CUT OUT THE GRAFT.

Representative Coffey is to be con-
graduated on his determination to do
his utmost to uproot the petty gratis
which have disgraced every session
Of the Legislature. The ridiculously
large stationery bills for the use of
the members, the perquisites in the
form of stationery, penknives, fine
paper-cutters, scissors and other
plunder Of this description has been
carried to such ridiculous length as
to make it shameful in the eyes of
every decent beholder Men who in
their private capacity would not for a
moment tolerate such courses, much
less mix up in them, not only permit
but participate in them in their legis-
lative capacity, and help to set an eX-
ample and exercise a bad moral
influence on the whole state. Far too
many clerks are employed. On one
pretext or another they draw pay from
the state without pretense of perform
ing any service. Political hacks, men
with a pull Of one kind or another,
flock to Salem every session, confident
that they will receive easy employ
ment at remunerative pay during the
forty days the lawmakers are at work,
and they are rarely disappointed.
Indeed, the time has come when the
members should look this matter
squarely in the face and put it on
practical basis, such as it would be
forced to occupy were the matter of
private instead of public concern.
Reform is the order of the day at
Washington why should it not be at
Salem?-Evening Telegram.

SOURCE OF FUTURE WEALTH.

The day is coming when the foot
hill country between Dallas and the
Coast mountains will be one of the
garden spots of the West Stock
raising, dairying, gardening and
fruitraising are the Industries thai
are destined to make this section ol
Polk county rival in wealth and i'm
portance the vast timber belt of the
Coast Range aud the broad and fertile
hop and grain fields of the valleys
of the LaCreole, Luckiamute,
Willamette, and Yamhill rivers.
The development along the lines
indicated will not be confined to the
foothill country. but will be pushed
farther and farther to the west as the
mountain valleys are stripped of their
wealth Of timber. Oregon has no
more productive soil than that found
in the numerous mountain valleys on
the headwaters of Mill Greek, Salmon
River, the LaCreole, Luckiamute and
Siletz. Nor is this fertility confined
to the valleys alone Many of the
mountain sides, now covered with a
dense growth of timber, are adapted
to the growth of fruit and, when
cleared, will produce in abundance all
varieties Of tree fruits and berries.
The productiveness Of the mountain
soil has already been demonstrated
in the vicinity of the thriving town of
Falls City. Here fruit, berries and
vegetables of all varieties are grown
in abundance, and the acreage is
being largely increased each year.
The apples grown on the mountain
sides are free from insect pests, and
cannot be surpassed for flavor and
color. Prunes and cherries also thrive,
and other small fruits and berries are
grown to perfection. That this
mountain soil is especially adapted to
the successful production of straw
berries has been demonstrated by
T. d. Hollowell, who, from a small
beginning few years ago, is now en- .
gagged in the industry on large scale.
The berries grown by Mr.. Hollowell
are fully equal in every respect to
those produced in the Hood River
valley, which means that for size and
flavor they cannot be surpassed.
The results achieved in fruit and
vegetable raising on the foothill and
land around Falls City
prove beyond question that no part of
Oregon is better adapted to horti-
cultural pursuits. The qualities found
in the soil around Falls City are
found in all of the mountainous
region of Polk county The OBSERVER
pliers the prediction that inside Of the
lext ten years the foothills Of Western
Polk will have been transformed into
4 paradise Of orchards, gardens and
clover meadows, supporting thousands
IF people, and contributing no less to
he wealth and prosperity of the
county than all the broad acres of
grain and hops and the vast timber
industry combined.
