The test with trained collies,
pulled off at the fair grounds this
morning in the area in front of the

The dogs showed remarkable agil-

the flock of sheep, and were particu-
larly obedient to the commands of
their master. The flock of sheep
was furnished by the Oak Hill farm,
of North Yamhill. The entries for
the contest were made by John Len

of the most creditable ever seen.

"Reded and HadIey'' entertained the audience with a novelty act, but the star performance of the evening was the trick feats performed by the St. Onge Brothers, with the bicycle There was nothing of the startling in the acts of the St. Onges, with the wheel, but for genuine athletic tricks they were not to be surpassed. Some of the jokes gotten off by the St. Onge Brothers were new, and were highly enjoyed by the audience. The moving pictures were fine.

 A large audience marked the first night of the week at the Electric Park Casino Theatre. The fact that yester- day was a general holiday, coupled with the knowledge that there are only ia few attractions booked for the re- snainder of the season at the little l ,rk playhouse, made the attendance un- usually large. The vaudeville bill pre- scented last night included some excel lent features. The novelty bag punch ing done by Charles M. Fulton, man weighing only 9S pounds was especial 1y fine.

Appreciated LiberaIitv.

The liberality of the Portland Seed
Company toward the Polk county
school fair was judicious bit of adj
vertising that reflects much credit up
on r. II. Routledge, the firm s
publicity manager. The generosity
of the company has made its name a
household word in every nook and
corner of Polk county. Not content
with giving 5000 packages or $3.50
worth Of choice seeds and paying the
postage on the same, amounting to
$50 more, the company also con
tributed four prizes Of $2.5O each and
lent other effective aid in making the
fair successful. Mr.. Routledge came
to Dallas last week, at the request of
his employers, and lent invaluable
aid in helping to arrange the exhibits.
He also officiated as one of the judges
and won the goodwill Of all by his
absolute fairness and sound iudg-
nent The people of Polk county will
not soon forget the Portland Seed
Company or Mr. Routledge for the
generous treatment accorded the
in their efforts to prepare
pleasing and instructive industrial
xhibit.

Departure Is Regretted.

Mr., and Mrs. Nj. D. Ellis and son,
Floyd, left yesterday for their new
home in Grants Pass, where Mr..
Ellis has purchased one of the leading
drug stores OF the city. 1t is with
deep regret that the people of Dallas
part with this estimable family. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis have long been
prominently identified with all that
is best in Dallas social life, and they
will be missed in church and society
circles. Mr.. Ellis business record
has been Of the highest character for
honor aud integrity, and he fully de-
serves the success he has achieved.
Dallas owes its enviable position as
live business town and manufacturing
center to men like Mr.. Ellis, who have
given freely of their means and
worked increasingly to secure i'm
portant industries aud public improve
ments. Fortunate indeed is the town
Or city whose business interests are in
he hands Of men Of this character.
The OBSERVER joins with the many
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis in wish
ng them the greatest prosperity in
heir new home.

The people of Polk county made nc
mistake when they placed G. L. Starr
at the head Of their public school
system. A man of original ideas,
tireless energy and unfailing en-
thusiasm, he has labored early and
late for the betterment of the public
schools, and has established new
standards and ideals that cannot fail
to prove Of inestimable benefit in the
years that are to come. One secret OF
his success and influence is found in
his work Of establishing closer rela-
tions between the parents and the
schools. Parents, teachers and chill
dren have all been drawn together by
feeling Of mutual interest and SYM
pathy, and are working in harmony
to accomplish the best possible re-
suits. Superintendent Starr conceived
the idea of holding school officers
institutes in connection with the
teachers institutes, and so heartily
was his plan received by the district
directors and clerks that the meetings
Of these officers now vie in interest
and popularity with those Of the
teachers themselves. Following Polk
countys lead, school officers insti-
tutes are now held in nearly every
county in Oregon and have become a
permanent feature Of the educational
work. The School Children's Indus
trial Fair was the child of Superin-
tendent Starts brain, and while it
was largely in the nature Of an ex-
pertinent, the splendid results achieved
at the finish fully demonstrated the
wisdom of his judgment. The school
officers institutes and the industrial
fair have probably been the means of
bringing Superintendent Starr's pro-
gressive methods most prominently
before the public, and will result
in stimulating interest in school
work in Polk county as never before.
While this good work is appreciated
by every friend Of the public schools
in the county, it is, after all, Mr..
Starts six long years of routine office
work that entitle him to the greatest
faithful, conscientious
work, day in and day out, in the office
in the home, and out among the dis
5ricts of the county-the toilsome,

The general public knows little or
is the work that has
counted most, for, without it,

Ralston, live newspaper man from

chase or establish daily paper in
some one Of the larger towns in this

If the editorial convention adopted
resolutions pledging the support OF
the association to the woman suffrage
movement, they most assuredly dele
gated to themselves a whole lot of
authority. The majority of the press

1t is hoped that the State of Oregon
will be successful in it's suit against
the Portland General Electric Com
pany to collect tolls for the operation
Of the canal and locks at Oregon City.
The contract made 80 years ago, by
which the state was to receive 10 per
cent Of the annual profits accruing
from the operation of the locks in re-
turn for the appropriation of 100000
voted by the state to the locks COM
pany, was entered into in good faith
by the members of the Legislature,
and the people had right to believe
that the state would receive it's full
share Of the profits as agreed upon.
No money has ever been paid to the
state on this account, and the present
owners of the locks claim that the
statute of limitation prevails. The
state contends that the obligation on
the part Of the company was con-
tinuing, and stands against the
present owners of the locks. If the
right prevails, the state will win.

Dallas is going to have a big An
CORA Goat Show and it behooves the

ticularly to those sections which are
represented atthe meeting. -Roseburg

The friendly interest and enter
prising spirit of our Roseburg con-
temporary is highly commendable,
and it is hoped that the goat men Of
Douglas county will heed the timely
suggestion and be on hand with a
fine exhibit of blooded Angoras. 1t
goes without saying that they will re-
ceive royal welcome at the hands of
the Willamette Valley goat breeders.
There is no reason why Douglas
county should not pull down some of
the big prizes that are to be awarded
at the coming show; so come along,
gentlemen, and good luck to you!

The fruitgrowers of Polk county
will hold their first annual fair in

will be set by the committee on
arrangements tomorrow 1t is hardly
necessary to add that the Polk County
Apple Fair will be made a permanent

however, that in future all of these
exhibitions will be combined in one
big livestock and industrial county

Municipal ownership" sounds we'll,
and looks we'll in print, but it doesn t
always work out in practice. The
enterprising town of Cottage Grove is
just now finding this out to its sorrow.
The Western Oregon, published at
that place, says that after spending
$4,000, the town finds itself the owner
of water system that would be in
adequate to the needs of town of 200
inhabitants. The taxpayers find a
debt of $4,000 hanging over them,
with insufficient revenues to meet the
interest charges and operating ex-
penses. No sooner does one council
decide upon plans for managing the
plant than another council comes into
power and upsets those plans, and the
result is that the town finds itself
getting deeper and deeper into debt,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
plant is gravity system and the ex-
pense of operating it is nextto nothing.
The paper says that had private
company conducted its affairs in the
same manner as has the city, the city
would have disfranchised the company
in short order. All of which goes to
prove that theory is one thing and
practice another, and that things are
not always what they seem. The
municipal ownership fad is dying out,
as was evidenced in Seattle the other
day when city ownership Of certain
public utilities was voted down by an
overwhelming majority.
