Sees Final Victory Over Tuberculosis.
DR.. William Osler says: whether
tuberculosis will be finally eradicated
Is an open question. It is a foe that
is very deeply intrenched in the hu-
man race. Very hard it will be to
eradicate completely, but when we
think of what has been done in one
generation, how the mortality in
many places has been reduced moro
than so per cent.-indeed. in some
places 100 per cent.-it is a battle of
hope, and so long as we are fighting
with hope. the victory IL in sight"

Women VITO Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change n
lew years o. married life often make in
the appealalcC and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brlliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
natron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbng the cheek
of its freshness and the form OF 1t
fairness.

Many COlOnists Coming.

One week of colonist rates to Oregon
brought 1915 new settlers into the
state over the Hartman lines alone
according to figures for the first week
OF the special colonist excursions
received by the passenger department
OF these lines. The first week OF this
year shows an increase OF 30l colon
lists over the first week of 1908 when
only 1914 coloni-t5 were carried.
According to the figures received
here Portland secured 275 colonists
last week : the Willamette valley points
272; the remainder being scattered at
various Eastern Oregon points. The
new settlers are said to be an uncom-
monty good class of people and to
constitute the most desirable type OF
citizens. Most of them are Americans
from the middle western tates.-Port-
land Journal.

The TIME TO BOOST.

Colonist rates to Oregon are now in
force and every day is bringing scores
of new people into this state. Indica
tions are that it will be the greatest
year for immigration in the history oi
our state so far.
Among these immigrants there are
few who are not of the best type OF
Americans-people who will prove a
potent new energy in the development
Of such localities as they choose to
make their homes. Their coming
means much for the state and much
for the communities in which they
decide to settle and the majority of the
important cities of Oregon are
making an eager bid for the attention.
Dallas deserves her share. She has
the inducements to offer. But unless
the people OF Dallas take active efforts
to set forth those inducements, the tide
Of immigration will flow past, into
the other cities Of the state, where
wise and energetic community adver-
which it will naturally turn.
We have made fine start in the |
work of advertising this community
and its resources, but already the tide
is upon us and it behooves us to work
fast and effectively to complete the
task we have begun. Now is the time
to boost; to boost hard and to boost
unanimously.
Every new citizen of the right type I
added to our population is a gain for
the whole community and every indi-
vidual 10 the community should use t
his or her influence in an energetic /
and Legitimate manner, to attract the '
attention Of immigrants OF the right q
class to Dallas.

SALEM MAKES INQUIRIES
Capitol City Communicates With Mayor
Muir Concerning Cost of Laying
Macadam Streets.

The following concerning a com
municatlon from Mayor A. r. Muir,
of this city, was published in the
Salem papers last week:
'E. G. Minton, of this city, is in
receipt of the ollowing letter from
A. B. Muir, mayor Of the little city of
Dallas, Polk county, which deals with
the question of paving, one in which
Salem is vitally interested.
Mr.. E. G. Minton, Salem, Or.
Dear Sir: Yours of the 9th re-
ceived, and in reply would say that
the city owns its rock quar- ry, crusher
and road roller, and the city operated
the crusher last summer and the cost
of crushing was Csc per cubic yard,
and it cost zoe per yard to haul the
rock about three miles. The spread
ing and grading was done by the city
and on matchmaking nine blocks
the city did the work for $4,000 less
than the lowest bid by any contractor.
l think it pays for a city to own its
own street making machinery aud
operate the same. We expect to
macadamize about 18 or 20 blocks this
season. Your truly,
A. B. MUIR, Mayor.
