and other places OF competitive dis
plays are worth anything, there Is
value in Mr.. Lownsdale's plan, The
principle OF the one is the principle Of
the other. Competition brings out
the best there is in man, in horses, In
industry and In nations. The incen-
tive to be best Is the well-spring OF
striving, and striving is the key that
unlocks success.
"The object lesson Of a beautiful dis
play Of apples is educative, and is an
inducement to growers who sec It to
surpass It. The sight Of o box or
plate Of clean, perfect apples fills the
beholder with purpose to produce
something like IL. We are not only
originators, we are imitators and
copyists, and along with this, ambi-
tIous to excel. It Is national Amer
lean trait to be superior, and that is
why we have, among other things, the
fastest horses, the swiftest railroad
trains, the greatest industries, the
best gunners and the most skilled
workmen.
IF an apple fair is held II will be OF
great value to the apple industry In
the Willamette valley. It will, by the
showing that can be made, focus
attention on the apple industry, the
possibilities OF which are little COM
pretended. Held and reheld In re-
turning years, such shows will
stimulate apple growing, bring under
apple production lands In the Will
lamette valley that are now overgrown
with wild brush and raise the price OF
these lands from few dollars tc
hundreds OF dollars per acre. 1t is
plan worth while"

WHY NOT IN DALLAS9
POIk's County Seat Would Be Ideal
Place For Holding Willamette
Valley Apple Fair.

The suggestion Of M. 0. Lownsdale
that an apple fair be held in the Will
lamette Valley next Fall is meeting
enthusiastic approval, and 1t now
seems certain that such an exhibition
will be held. The time and place have
not yet been decided, but doubtless
will be soon. AS nominations are In
order, the OBSERVER desires to present
the name Of the thriving city OF Dali
las as a candidate for the honor Of
being the first city In the Willamette
Valley to call the attention OF the
world to the excellence Of Western
Oregon's big red apples through the
medium Of an apple show.
The first apple show ever held in the
Willamette Valley was held In Dallas
last Fall. While such exhibitions had
long been advocated by the valley
apple growers, it remained for the
enterprising orchardists OF Polk
county to take the initiative and pre-
pare an exhibit of their products. AS
Dallas was the first city In the valley
TO hold a show Of this kind, It seems
to US that it would be a fitting recog-
milton Of this enterprising spirit to
hold the first Willamette Valley show
here.
A moressuitable place than Dallas
for an exhibition Of this kind could
not be found. The town is centrally
located IN the valley, and its railroad
facilities are unsurpassed. The hotel
accommodations are ample for the
largest possible crowd that might
attend, as has been yearly demon
strated by the manner in which all
visitors to the Oregon Angora Goat
Show have been cared for. The money
necessary 10 defrayiDg the expenses
Of the show need cause no worry, as
the enterprisiBg business ,nen OF
Dallas can be counted upon to look
after that important part Of the
enterprise.
The OBSERVER would suggest that
the members Of the Polk County Horti-
cultural Society take the matter 10
hand at the earliest possible oppor-
tunlty and seek 70 induce the apple
growers OF the Valley TO hold their
first exhibition In Dallas next Fall
Speaking Of Mr.. LowDsdale's sug-
gestion Of a show, the Portland
Journal says:
There is merit In the suggestion Of
Mr.. Lownsdale that an apple fair be
held 10 the Willamette valley this
autumn. II worlds fairs, world 9
expeditions. state fairs, county fairs

RAILWAY Damage Case.

The trial Of the damage case Of the

pany against Mrs. Mary Kirkpatrick
occupied the greater part Of the time
OF the Circuit Court Tuesday and
Wednesday. This was an action 70
condemn a strip Of land for railway
purposes through Mrs. Kirkpatrick
land In North Dallas, for a spurtrack
from the main line Of the Yamhill
division to the Dallas Lumber Com
pany's sawmilI. The case was closely
contested, and resulted In one Of the
hardest-fought legal battles ever wit
messed In Polk county. The jury
brought 10 a verdict sor Mrs. Kirk
patrick for $500 damages and Ss0. 10
costs. Il is probable that she will
appeal 70 the Supreme Court.
