That Dallas needs well equipped
hospital is a fact conceded by all who
have given the subject any consider
alton. With three railroads centering
here, and with the rapid increase of
laboring men engaged in milling,
logging, and other hazardous occupa-
tions, the need of a hospital becomes
more apparentevery day. Thousands
Of dollars are sent out of Polk county
each year to pay hospital fees, and
the sick and injured are obliged to
make long and wearisome railroad
journeys to the cities, often at the risk
Of their lives. Dallas should have a
tirst-class hospital, and the members
of the medical profession are the ones
who should take the lead in securing
such an institution. The doctors may
rest assured thatin this work they will
have the hearty cooperation OF every
citizen.

Just keep it in mind that Dallas
must have cannery. 1t is too late
to get the project under way this year,
but it is not too late to begin talking
in favor of this important and greatly
needed industry. A certain amount
Of "wind-jamming" is necessary in
getting any important enterprise
started, and now is the time to talk
cannery. The farmers want it and
the business men want it, aud the
union of these two forces is a combi-
nation that can accomplish any under
taking. Talk for a cannery, early
and late it will be time mighty we'll
spent.

r. ID. Cooper, the well-known hop
grower of Independence, tells the
Portland Telegram that Oregon's hop
crop will be about one-third short Of
last year. The total crop of 1906 was
10000 bales, but it cannot be expected
to exceed 100000 bales this year. This
estimate was formed after a journey
by team through the principal hop
growing counties of the Willamette
Valley. Mr.. Cooper has had long
experience in raising and handling
hops, and any estimate formed by
him is entitled to careful study; but
there are many growers and dealers
in Oregon who do not share his
opinion that the crop this year will be
short. 1t is argued that the new
acreage of the large growers will in a
measure cover any loss by Indifferent
cultivation on the part of the small
farmers. Be that as it may, a
heavy crop is not desired by
the growers this year. The prospects
for "a profitable market have
been anything but encouraging, and
light crop in the principal hop
growing state of the Union would mean
just that much better price for the
farmers next Fall. This is one of the
years when a bumper crop is rot
wanted.
