WOULD DIVIDE DISTRICT
Taxpayers Of Eastern Polk Hold
Rousing Good Roads Meeting.


The people of Road District No. S,
lying along the Willamette River in
the east end of the county. will ask
the County Court to divide the district
on the substantial ground that it is
now too large to be properly attended
to by one supervisor.
What was probably the best attend
ed road meeting ever held in the his
tory of that district took place at
Mountain View schoolhouse last Sat-
urday. The seating capacity of the
building was scarcely sufficient to ac-
commodate all present.
1t had been announced that the mat
ter OF voting special tax for road i'm
provements would be considered but
as it appeared the law had not been
carefully complied with and its action
as to a tax would therefore be invalid,
the meeting turned to general discus
sion as to the best methods on which
to proceed for the future.
1t was thought that where districts
saw fit to vote a special tax in addi-
tlon to the regular tax, it should be
guaranteed that the money should all
be spent with as perfect equity as pos
sible on the roads adjoining the prop
erty from which the money was col
lected.
1t was brought out in the discussion
that the increasing population and
travel had long since rendered the
work too great for one supervisor in
duce this responsibility and secure bet
ter results the district should be
divided. Division would also insure,
beyond doubt that money collected in
given locality would be used for i'm
provements in that same locality.
1t was therefore proposed to send
committee to the County Court to
ask that the district be divided and to
assist the court in determining how
the division would best be made. To
this end the chair was asked to name
a committee of men who We're thor
oughly familiar with the roads and the
requirements of the district.
Mr.. T, w. Brunk officiated with
credit as chairman, and later announc-
ed the committee as follows: c. A. |
Park, L. D. Gibson, H. B. Brophy, A.
r. Southwick and G. w. Chapman.
The meeting was thoroughly repre-
sentative and the action taken ex-
pressed so nearly the unanimous senti-
ment of all that there was but one
vote.

RETURNS AFTER MANY YEARS
Former Resident of Polk County
Revisits Old Haunts.

Paul Valerius, a prominent real es-
tate man of Bellingham, Wash, arriv-
ed in Dallas Wednesday, after an ab-
sence of nearly a quarter of centu-
ry, and spent the day looking about
the city and comparing its progress
since he first saw it. The growth ana
improvements have been such that ne
had difficulty in locating the familiar
landmarks of earlier days. Mr.. Vale
rius first saw Dallas in 1884, when he
began work on the old Coolidge place
near Rickreall. Later he was in the
employ of Col. ]. w. Nesmith.
Mr.. Valerius has disposed OF mis-
interests in Bellingham and this sum-
mer expects to make an extended Eu-
ropean trip. Upon his return to TINS
country he will probably re-enter the
real estate business in the Willamette
Valley. Upon Mr.. Valerius' next trip
20 this city he will be accompanied by
his wife, who will visit her cousin
Mrs. ]. b. Thompson, of the Gail Ho-
tel

WIPES OUT INDEBTEDNESS
Polk County Poultry Association Gains
Many New Members.

After many years of strenuous eff
fort the affairs of the Polk County
Poultry Association are at last on a
safe and substantial financial basis,
and the officers and members will no
longer be embarrassed by a deficit.
The purchase of necessary show pens
and other fixtures, purchased for the
first show, caused the association a
heavy indebtednss at the outset and
at the close of the show last year the
officers found themselves facing a de-
felt of $75. Through the liberal dona-
tions of Dallas merchants and the un-
usually large entry fees this year. it
was found possible to pay all expenses
and wipe out $50 of the old debt. At
the annual business meeting Saturday,
it was voted to levy an assessment on
members to cover the remaining in
debtedness and to begin the new year
with a clean slate.
A. G. Rempel was rewarded for his
good work in behalf of the association
by being reelected to the office of
president. e. N. Keeny was elect
ed vice-president, and D. G. Rempel
was again chosen to fill the office of
secretary. The members of the new
executive committee are B. I. Fergu-
son, c. S. Graves and T. d. Phillips.
Poultry breeders were elected to
membership in the association at Sat
urday's meeting as follows: Mrs. Win
ME Braden, G. o. Harshman, Henry
Voth, S. D. Steffy, Clarence Dornheck-
er, A. S. Wilson, Merle Myer, j. w.
Myer, J. S. Macomber and e. N.
Keeny.
The next annual show will be held
in Dallas, December 1915, 1911, at
which time it is purposed to hold the
largest exhibition of blooded poultry
ever seen in the Willamette Valley
