DISPUTE MAY BE SETTLED
Merchants Protective Association To
Work For Adjustment of Saw
mill Controversy.

The most important subject dis
cussed at the meeting Of the Mer
chants Protective Association last
night was the prospect of the Spauld-
ing sawmill being removed from Dal-
las unless satisfactory terms can be
made between the company and GER
tain parties owning property along
the LaCreole, with regards to the
company's rights to drive logs down
to its sawmill by means of flooding.
Already the logging company
claims that it has made concessions
to a greater extent than should be
reasonably demanded, but several
property owners are demanding still
further concession on its part, which
if granted would make it-impractic
able for it to continue to operate the
mill in Dallas. AS the easiest solu
tion of the problem, the company pro-
poses to tear down its mill here and |
move the equipments to Newberg,
where the supply of logs may be
brought in over the railroad
Such step, if followed out, would
take an important industry out of
this city, cut off a pay roll Of several
thousand dollars month, and event
lally oblige large number of the
residents of Dallas to seek homes else
where, seriously impairing the indus.
rial prosperity of the city and check
ng its development to marked
legree.
The members of the Protective
association realizing the importance
# the matter have taken it up and
Till use their influence to bring about
IS speedy and satisfactory adjustment.
Messrs. L. FL. Shultz, E. N. Hall
nd Willis Simonton were appointed
n committee to draw up resolutions
caring on the question and the
will make an effort to
ring about an agreement between the
arties concerned, that will make it
ossible for Dallas to retain this
lportant industry

The Polk County Poultry Raisers
Association will hold it's second annual
poultry show at Dallas next week Al
least four hundred fine fowls will be
on exhibition during the three days oi
the show. Fine plumage, elegant
carriage and weight above the aver
age will be points Of interest in this
exhibit. But what the general public
would most like to know is whether
the Polk county poultry raisers have
succeeded in developing a breed OF
hens that can be depended upon to
supply the market with eggs through
out the year.-Oregonian
A breed of hens that could do all
that, would be Ito adhere strictly to
technical terms almost as rare as the
prOverbial hens teeth, but it is a GER
tainty that if they are to be found any
where, Polk county Is the place to look
for them.
