Nature has pTOUitlel remedies most

native medicinal plants. With the use
of chemically pure glycerine, of proper

Seal root. Queens root. Stone root, Black

combined in just the right proportions,
constitute his widely famed Golden Med

the stomach. the activity of the liver
and the steadiness of the nerves, pouring

vigor and elasticity.
All medical authorities, of whatever
school, agree that Hydrastis. or Golden
Seal - one of the essential roots in the
makeup of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
DiscOyery-is of very great value as a
pure tonic, and as an alterative-valuable

Hon. Lawrence 7. Harris, of Eu-
gene, the able and popular Judge OF
this district, is a candidate to succeed
himself, and will apparently have no
opposition in the primaries. While
he may have a Democratic opponent
in the June election, this is by no
means certain, as many prominent
Democrats consider him good enough
for them. 1t looks like a walkover for

the town, and every dollar OF it new
money. 1t is this outside money that
is maintaining Dallas prosperity to-
day, and every thinking person
knows it.
This being SO. it naturally follows
that every new enterprise that is
established here will make times just
that much better for our people.
There is steady demand for the
dairy products Of Oregon, and always
will be. Every pound Of butter and
cheese manufactured in Dallas, or
elsewhere, will find a ready sale in
some market and the community
producing it will be just that much
better off financially.
If it is argued that Polk county is
not good dairy country, answer it
by saying that expert dairymen have
looked over the western portion of the
county and pronounced it an ideal
region for the establishment and de-
velopment of this industry, and further
call attention to the fact that one Of
the best creameries in Oregon has
been successfully operated in Inde-
pendenee for years.
Does it pay to keep COWS, and manu-
facture butter or sell the milk to a
creamery? Ask the farmers who have
been engaged in this branch of in
dustry for years, and see what answer
they will give you. Ask the farmer
whose cows have paid the mortgage
on his farm how many years he
thinks it would have taken him to
have paid off the mortgage by raising
wheat. Ask him what the producing
value of his land is today as COM
pared with the time before he began
keeping stock on it. Ask any in
telligent, progressive farmer these
questions, and see what answer he
will give you.
To show the interest of creamery
men in the proposed Dallas enterprise,
the writer desires to say that he has
in his possession, as secretary of the
local Board Of Trade, fifteen or twenty
letters from outside creamery men,
offering to establish a cheese factory
or butter factory at this place-all
these letters having been received
since the present agitation of the
enterprise began. None, however,
have offered fairer proposition than
that made by Mr. Robinson, who has
agreed to come to Dallas and estab-
lish a cheese factory without any aid
in the shape of bonus from locak
business men, or any contracts from
the farmers for the delivery Of milk
asking only that he be given reason
able assurance that the milk OF $50 |
COWS can be secured from the start,
his support to continue only so long
rs the farmer can realize more money |
rom the sale of his milk in Dallas
han elsewhere. Surely, nothing
could be fairer or more plainly under
stood.
1t is up to the people of Dallas and
he farmers of the surrounding
country to secure this factory. The
OBSERVER is certain that everybody
wants it, and that it will require moth
more than united effort to get it.
Don't say it can't be done. 1t can be
one. And when the factory is once
and in operation; the
eople will value it just as they value
he sawmills and other manufactur-
lg industries already here. They
,ill wonder how they ever got along
'ithout it.

The Goldfish.

Boston, where the sacred Goldfish is
given 4 place of honor under the gilded
dome on Beacon hill. hears the dis
uuieting rumOr that the center Of the
Goldfish industry may soon be removed
from the Atlantic to Pacific waters.
The statement is made in British fish
ing centres that within 4 very few
years the Goldfish fleet in Puget sound
will lee as large as that in the Gulf of
St Lawrence. This is a pretty big pre-
oi.tion. but it is pointed out that syS-
t,matic and strenuous efforts are being
made to develop and improve the curing
and lacking of the Pacific cod, and
British Columbia is taking part in these
efforts. Moreover. the Japanese are
now coming to the western seaboard Of
North America for supplies of Goldfish
and. Enthusiastically, the japanese
government has sent forth commission
ers to serve as common seamen on
board the American fishing boats in
order to learn the business as con-
Quoted by westerners.
The Pacific is a large word. and the
"Ranks' of the Rering sea and Okhotsk
sea are reputedly larger than those Of
Newfoundland. However that may be.
il is admitted that "the supremacy of
the Isle of Gods and Dogs is threatened.
and though Newfoundland fish will
never be driven out Of the European
markets, il is probable that the era OF
Newfoundland fishery disputes is over.
and that is something to be thankful
for, though the cod may take the place
Of the seal as the subject Of internal
tion contention in the Northern
Pacific" The Boston Advertiser thinks
that this may be merely a diplomatic
fr-lcr put out to soften the effect OF
any treaty that Great Britain may
nuke with the United States giving the
American fishermen more privileges in
the North Atlantic fisheries. If so.
there is no reason for Americans gener-
ally to quarrel too vigorously with the
British view. 1t is not likely, however,
that the Newfoundland fisheries will
become extinct during this generation.

awakening an interest in good sing

otherwise remain dormant. and devel-

Vermont's Capital Punishment Law.

Not many months ago when the case
of poor Mary Rogers was filling the
newspapers, it was generally predicted
that when the Vermont legislature
again assembled it would do away
with the capital punishment law. The
legislature is now in session and Of
cicd before it adjourns, but if it does so
il will be against the earnest recon-
mendation of Ex-Governor Bell upon
whom fell the awful responsibility Of
sending the condemned woman to the
aallows. Perhaps no governor was
ever more bitterly assailed than he
was for his firmness in this celebrated
case, but 1t appears he was mistaken
by the attacks. He not only believes
that the death penalty should always
be enforced when provided by law. but
ne goes further and defends the death
penalty as a good thing for the protec-
ton Of society. In Vermont there is a
custom for the outgoing, as well as the
new. governor to send a message to the
legislature and in his farewell message
last week Governor Bell said:
"Onr law makes capital punishment
the penalty for murder in the first
degree During my term Of office it
became my duty to see that this law
was carried into effect. | am more
firmly convinced than ever before
that, as a safeguard against violence
and as protection to society in gen.
eral, the law making capital punish
lnent, in some form, the extreme
penalty for crime should be retained
on our statute books"
That is the opinion of a man whom
circumstances forced to study the
question with extraordinary care. and
who ought to be an accurate judge
Of the effects of a capital punishment
law on Il given people. At present
il seems to be the opinion, also, of
majority Of the people of the country,
although there is doubtless growing
aversion to the inflictins of the death
p.nalty. Maine stands almost alone in
ibo,ishing the death penalty for muir
der. but there is no demand in this
State to have it put back again upon
our statute books.
