CITY ELECTION.

With the annual city election only
three days distant, the general apathy
and indifference so much in evidence
two or three weeks ago has disap-
peared, and the contest for the various
Offices to be filled, while characterized
by the best Of feeling among the sew
eral candidates and their respective
supporters, promises a lively cam
paign and an exciting finish at the
polls. Two candidates are In the field
for the Mayoralty, one for Council
man-at-Large, and two for City Audi
tor and Police Judge. The Second
Ward leads in the number of candi.
dates for the office Of Councilman,
three aspirants having filed their petit
tions with the City Auditor. The
voters Of the First Ward have exercised |
their nominating prerogative by plac-
ing only one candidate for Council
man in the field, but the Third Ward
has two aspirants for the same office.
Such lively interest in the selection

promises good things for the growth
and prosperity Of Dallas In the
absence Of important issues or per-
sonal animosities, it proves that the
people of the enterprising capital of
Polk county are deeply and earnestly
interested in securing the very best
attainable results for the upbuilding
of the city and in keeping pace with
the rapid march of progress now be-
ing made by all of the enterprising
communities Of the state.
The growth and prosperity of any t
city depends largely upon the attitude :,

What is needed, under present con-

1t is to be hoped that the voters will
turn out to a man next Monday, no
matter how pressing personal business
interests may be. and participate in
the selection of the men who will be
called to take charge of the city's

New Reservoir Progressing.

W. L. Soehren reports good progress
in the construction work on the new
reservoir for which excavation is
being made just south of the one now
in use. The new reservoir will be
completed within a comparatively
short time and when finished, will
give a much larger reserve OF water
than could ever before be secured.
This will insure better fire protection
and will lessen the danger of a water
famine during the months of the
summer season, when the supply of
water brought down from the intake
at Canyon Greek is at the minimum.

Hotel Astor in New York plans to
erect a 500, 900 depot for airships. This
is taking time by the foreIock with a
vengeance, since it appears that no one
has as yet invented an airship that
could be positively relied upon to land
or anchor at any fixed particular
point. The only law thus far that the
areoplane and dirigible balloon can
be positively relied upon to obey is the
law Of gravity.

y fully carrying out all necessary nun
lcipal Improvements, no city can fail
" to prosper. 1t is therefore of the great.
est importance that the voters exercise
the utmost care and discretion in
: selecting none but the most capable
and broad-minded business men to
fill the city Offices.
One fact that should be horne in
mind by every voter, and that should
awaken In him full measure of his
responsibility as a citizen, is that
wise and proper administration Of
municipal affairs is fully as import
ant to him in financial way as is a
judicious expenditure of public funds
for state and county purposes. 1t is
probably.fair to assert that the tax
payer in the average city or town In
Oregon finds his city tax each year
nearly or quite equal to the amount
he is obliged to pay for county pur-
poses. 1t is doubtless true that in
some of the larger cities, his city tax
is as heavy as his county and state
taxes combined. Little or no COM
plant is ever heard of lack of inter-
est in state or county elections, and
there would seem no good reason why
q taxpayer should not show an equal
amount of interest in the selection of 6
fit and proper men to administer G
municipal affairs. 7
One new feature that has recently
entered into the financial life OF Dallas \
md made the election of competent p
,fficers Of more than usual importance h
S that all of the money needed for =,
'ublic purposes now has to be raised nj
" direct taxation. A city has only re
wo methods of raising revenue-by &c
certain occupations and by
axation Of property. When either of
lese sources Of revenue is cut off, the
ther has to be resorted to. Dallas is
ow receiving $4,000 less each year tn
ON the license source than it did ca
efore the local option law went into br
feet in Polk County. Tn calling hi
tention to this fact at the present HI
ne, it is not our purpose to question so
9 wisdom Of the verdict Of vo
e voters last June, but merely to fol
IL attention to a condition that con- go
onts the taxpayer. The license loss tai
IS heavy for town Of Dallas size, Wis
counting as it did to nearly one-half
the total revenue Of the city. Citi-
IS who have been inclined to COM Mo
lin Of the excessive city tax levy of of
} present year should bear in mind Lei

SENATOR MILLER
 GETS GOOD PLACE Gets Chairmanship Of Judiciary
 Committee LOWE ALSO PROMOTED Popularity of J. A. Kyle Is Shown In Strong Vote for His Reelection Secretary of Senate-Inter-
 est in Temperance.
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, July 2S.-(Special.) .)-The promotion of Senator N. L. Miller to the chairmanship of the Judiciary committee and Senator W. T. Lowe to the head of the committee on laws has placed these two men in the most important places in the upper house, as before their commit tees will come almost all of the import ant measures of the extra session. Even the general prohibition bills may go to them, as they are in a measure revision of laws and deep law problems, which will ure in committee.
 Both Strong Men.
 Both MT. Miller and Mr. Lowe are re- garded as strong men and have been eff fective in many duties of great value to the state. At the previous sessions MT. Miller was head of the finance and tax atlon committee, which position he re- talns, by the way, and was one of the hardest worked men of the senate, be- cause of the duty of appropriatng the money and taking care of the various in terests. MT. Lowe Is a man of large ex- perience. He came to the constitutional convention from Lawrence and later to the lower house from the same body. He now lives at Decatur and as member of the senate has made himself felt as useful man at all times. Lieutenant Gov ernor Henry B. Gray is being congratu- lated on the selections.
 kyle's Popularity.
 The popularity of J. A. Kyle, just re- elected secretary of the senate, Is at- tested to in his selection by the over- whelming vote received. MT. Kyle had fight on his hands when he came to Montgomery, but devotion of friends and loyalty of men who had known him for many years, brushed back any feeling of resentment and made him safe in tho hearts of his own friends. MT. Kyle Is one of the most affable and popular men In the state and has been coming to Montgomery so long he is almost like citizen.
 Interest In Temperance.
 The fight for the prohibition bills does not lack for financial support. Head quarters are in the Exchange hotel, where former Chief Justice s. D. Weakley is at work drawing up the measures and where his talent as judge and lawyer Is brought into use. He goes carefully over them and after they are introduced Brooks Lawrence, the agent of the anti saloon forces, keeps an eye out for the field work. MT. Lawrence is always an attendant upon the meetings of the tenn perance committees.

MANY DEAD AND
 INJURED IN RIOT

Mexico City, July 2s.-Reports of the number of dead and injured in Sundays riot at the city of Guadajarala vary and the officials seem reticent about giving out the real figures. A conservative fig- ure received today placed the dead at 12 and the injured at 13. Many rioters car ried their dead and injured to private homes and have concealed the fact from the authorities, fearing Imprisonment.
 The trials of 9S of the rioters were held today. Then men were sentenced to from 13 to 30 days Imprisonment each. The secret service agents are hunting for the ringleaders of the movement who will be severely dealt when caught.

DANGEROUS DROP
 IN BIG BALLOON

Conway, Mass, July B.-Parachuting his balloon at the height of over two miles by loosening the appendix cord and allowing the lower part of the balloon to rise into the netting, Dr. $. s. Stowell of Pittsfeld, on his first trip as pilot, today made drop to earth in the balloon Pittsfeld. A perfect landing was effected With Dr. Stoweu were John T. Manning and Miss Blanche Hulse, trained nurse.
 The aeronaut struck vortex which swept the balloon upward to height of over two miles. Dr. Stowell con- ceived the idea of parachuting his balloon and allowing 1t to take its own course to earth, rather than to use the valve cord and allow gas to escape. The appendix cord was loosened and the Pittsfeld resolved itself into a monster toadstool and started slowly earthward. The balloon settled slowly until 1t rested in a field with out jolt.
