The causes that prevented progress
from Aryan influences in the east did not
exist in the westward movement. There
were fewer people and the absence of
time honored institutions. Conditions
were nebulous and fewer obstacles were
interposed to wider and higher develop
ment When the western hemisphere
was reached it was quite an unoccupied
field, the explorers and colonizers were
emancipated from aged and musty ideals
and unobstructed in laying the founda-
tions of new and natural civilization.
They had little to undo, and everything
to do on de novo and original lines
Consequently in this part of the
hemisphere the greatest progress of the
race has been achieved. Therefore the
two civilizations now confronting each
other are more antipodal than any that
ever before come into collision.
Another important fact is that the
progressive civilization is more massive
ly supported than at any time In its
history.
American energy may not be less
stimulated by the prospect and hope for
material benefits, but Americans under
stand better than others that such
benefits will be the more certain and
greater by promoting the spread of free
dom, intelligence and virtue. The orient
ais must be made to understand that
larger and better production is one of
the essentials to the growth and en-
joyment of the higher life
immigration of orientals to this country
will need to be restricted to avoid being
overwhelmed by numbers. Emigration Of

1t is a curious fact of history that no
movement eastward of the more advanced
peoples of the west ever resulted In per-
manent progress. The Grecians, under
Alexander carried their conquering arms
TO the Euphrates, and later the Romans
did likewise. and both peoples planted
colonies in Asia, none Of which preserved
their national characteristics, and an af-
ter brief lapse of time were engulfed by
the civilization they were designed to
subvert There is nothing in Asia that
shows anything appreciable Of Grecian or
Roman origin There is cause for the
different achievements of the Aryans in
the fact that in their westward march

street Name. In MEXICO.

As so many OF tie Indians cannot
read the streets IN Mexico are named
after birds or beasts. The name OF the
street appears IN Spanish letters, but
this Il Followed Is the figure of the
after which tie street 10
named. For Instance. OK street Is In
Dictated by n figure Of N OK In plaster
or painted on a wall. The street OF
Flamlngo presents the tall lamlngo
with back OF fiery red. ard Elephant
street has n well nodded fgure OF that
animal with enormous tusks and trunk.
This custom Is 4 very useful one, for
the youngest child can thus find Its
way home. Even the sheep OF little Bo-
Beep might have saved their mistress
an endless amount Of worry had this
custom OF naming the streets been the
fashion In Mother Goose land, as II Is
in Mexico.

READY FOR BUSINESS
New Dallas Creamery wiz Begin
Operations Next Monday
Morning.

The Dallas creamery will open Its
doors for business next Monday morn
ing. The machinery has all arrived,
and is being placed in position as
rapidly as the work can be done. Mr.,
Townsend, the president Of the COM
pany, came up from Portland, We'd
nesday, and is personally supervising
the work.
The Dallas Creamery will be owned
and operated by the 7. s. Townsend
Creamery Company, Of Portland. The
Townsend company is among the
largest creamery concerns on the
Pacific Coast, and the demand for its
products is so great that the company
finds it necessary to continually
widen its territory. The head office
and principal manufacturing plant of
the concern are in Portland. Branch
creameries are operated in Astoria,
Salem and Lyons, and skimming
stations are maintained in nearly
every community In western
Oregon and western Washington.
The company also has an office and
large salesroom in Seattle.
Mr.. Townsend says that the demand
for "White Glover" butter is increas-
ing 80 rapidly that the company finds
it absolutely necessary to establish
more creameries. He has faith in
Dallas as an excellent field for the
creamery business, and feels conf
dent that he will be able to build up a
large business here when the farmers
find that they can realize more profit
by selling their cream at home than
by shipping it elsewhere.
The Townsend creamery products
always command the top market prices
and, as a consequence, the farmers
soon find that it is to their advan-
tage to deal with a concern whose
market is so we'll established. "White
Glover" butter is now selling at S24
cents pound, and the farmers are
receiving pay for their cream at a
correspondingly high rate. Mr.
Townsend will be in Dallas for sew
eral days and he would be greatly
pleased to have the farmers and
dairymen call at the creamery, as he
desires to become acquainted with all
of them and to talk over matters Of
mutual interest and benefit.
Since the first steps were taken to
interest Mr.. Townsend in starting
creamery in Dallas, the writer has met
and talked with several farmers who
have had business dealings with his
creameries In other counties, and it is
gratifying to say that in every instance
Mr.. Townsend's methods Of doing
business were spoken of in highest
praise. 1t is Of great Importance to
the dairying interests of Polk county
to have strong and established con-
Germ like the Townsend Creamery
Company operating a plant in this
field, and the OBSERVER but voices the
sentiment OF the people Of Dallas and
the farmers of the surrounding coun-
try when it bids these live, business
man q cordial welcome to Dallas.
