ter, Mrs. Edward Gerlinger. He made
many friends during his stay 10 Dal-
las.
The celebration was the occasion OF
glad ome-coming and many for
mer residents of Dallas came back to
spend the day with relatives and
friends, thereby adding to the general
enjoyment Of the holiday.
Some Of the younger generation
were highly amused and greatly
edited Wednesday morning, by con
versation carried on in Chinook jargon
between several of the old pioneers
and an aged Grande Ronde Indian.
The old Indian knew all the early pio-
neers and recalled the ancient ennity
between Eph Shelton and Sibley Ann
concerning the latter's grizzly bear
story. For about a half hour the
youth Of Dallas stood around the
corner where the old Chief was hold
ing forth, with mouths open and eyes
bulging, listening eagerly to the fluent
stream of Chinook which has. in these
days, become almost a dead language
in Oregon.

Wherever there is a sale of blooded
livestock going on, be it in Oregon
Chicago, Kansas City, or Canada,
there you will find some Polk county
farmer bidding in the choicest
animals. Price cuts little figure with
these men in securing the stock they
are after. It is safe to assert that
there are more prize-winning animals
from the big Eastern livestock shows
owned in Polk county than in any
other county in the United States.
This enterprising and progressive
spirit among the farmers is adver-
tising Old Polk far and wide as the
home OF blooded horses, cattle, sheep,
goats and hogs, and is responsible in
a very large measure for the rapidly
increasing prosperity of the county.
The farmers are just now devoting
their attention largely to dairy stock.
A recent number Of the Salem States
man says: "At an auction sale of
Jersey COWS held at Turner last
week, one farmer from Polk county
took four young COWS at $2O6. The
demand for dairy COWS was never bet
