LAS PUBLICATION

The first booster newspaper edi-
tion ever issued in Polk county. the
Progress edition of The Polk Coun-
ty Observer, is just from the press.
and it speaks volumes, not only for
the blue ribbon county of the Viii
lamette Valley, but for the enter
prise of the publishers of the paper
1t Is a magazine printed on fine book
paper, richly illustrated with half
tones, and gives a clear account of
the great resources of that section.

business. The descriptive matter of
the various sections of the county
and the accounts of the progress

SECRETARY STATE TAX COM
MISSION.

Salem, Dec. Z, 1911.
Mr.. Eugene Foster, Dallas, Oregon.
Dear Mr.. Foster The Progress
Edition of Observer came to the
desk this morning and l have read
it with much interest. First, I am
interested because it treats of Polk
county, but the edition is remark
ably interesting from many view
points. geographically it is a work
of art which would be a credit to.
any printing plant. You have COW
cred the county fully and fairly with
facts and figures and have elimin-
ated the "gush" usually found, in
such publications. Few counties \in
issuing advertising literature have
done so well and you are to be hearsI
tily congratulated, especially so when
| remember your brief residence in
the county.
Very truly yours, C. L. Starr.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1912-01-02

be given to the advantages of your
section for carrying on this partic-
ular branch of agriculture. Steps
are being taken to foster and devel-
op the poultry industry also, and
attention should be drawn to the
benefits to be derived therefrom at
every opportunity. When we con-
slider that between so and 100 car
loads of eggs are imported from 9th
er states into Portland annually, it
is apparent that there is no question
that the market can possibly be
overstocked, and at the same time
by drawing the public attention to
the possibilities for successful poul-
try raising in Polk county, as well
as other parts in the Willamette
valley, also dairying, there is great
er chance of interesting men with
small capital to seek a location for
engaging in the business.
If you have not already done so,
would suggest the advisability of
sending a copy Nof this publication
to Mr.. John M. Scott, whom I am
sure would be glad to assist by using
all the means at his disposal in dis
tributing this booster edition
throughout the East.
Yours truly, H. E. Lounsbury.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1912-01-02
WELCOME GOAT MEN.

To the goat breeders Of the North
west Angora Goat association, the
people of Dallas extend warmest
welcome today, and we hope that
your exhibition will be the best ever
held and far surpass all former ef-
forts. To the friends Of the goat
breeders, and all others who will vis-
it the city during the next three
days, Dallas extends the hand of
welcome and bids you make your
selves at home. We are glad to have
you here ard we want you to enjoy
every minute Of your stay to the
end that you return to your homes
singing the praises of this city.
Polk county is the pioneer Of the
angora goat industry in Oregon and
the Pacific coast and it is entirely
fitting that the show should be held
here. Dallas knows the worth of the
angora and commends the efforts of
her enterprising citizens who are en-
gagged in the industry and who are
trying to make it one Of the lead
ing pathways to prosperity in this
favored land. We have seen the an
CORA bring prosperity to their own
ers and the extension of the industry
to other communities is significant
of the progressiveness of Polk coun-
ty growers who are the pioneers in
this branch of stock breeding.
So here, in the heart of the great
Willamette valley, in this home Of
the angora industry we welcome
those who are striving to build up
and promote its welfare. You fel-
lows are all right and we hope you'll
come often and remain longer. If
you don't see what you want, ask
for it.

SOMEWHAT PERSONAL.

The Observer prints today mum.
Der of the complimentary notices il
has received relative to the Progress
Edition of this newspaper issued on
December 3. While to some it may
appear egotistical on the part
of the publishers to reproduce
these utterances of public officials,
noted boosters and newspapers, they
are not published in that spirit but
to show the many readers of this
paper just what others think of the
edition and TO demonstrate the eff
fectiveness of such issues in adver-
tising Polk county. The Observer
regrets that it has not space to print
all of the complimentary notices re-
ceived. The people of Dallas have
been profuse in their eongratula-
tions regarding the publication of
the edition and we thank them one
aud all. Each and every notice
printed in other newspapers is Just
that much advertising for Polk
county and cannot fail to be bene-
fetal.
Progress editions are no uncom
mon efforts. They have been issued
by every progressive newspaper aud
many times We find publications that
make annual affairs of these boost
ing advertisements in which mer-
chants and business men generally |
willingly place their advertising. /
These enterprises have their place
in the boosting literature Of the land /
and it is safe 20 say that no other
one thing has aided 50 materially in /
building up a community. OF ne-i
cessity they cover their fields in a
comprehensive manner. The con-
scieniious publisher will not permit
anything TO find room in the col
umus Of his paper that verges on
uniruth or exaggeration. He tells
the truth about his town or his
county and homeseckers know this.
They depend upon the statements
contained in progress edition to
far greater degree than In anv
other boosting literature.
The Observer is proud Of the no
tices the edition has received. Al
though the issue was not a bonan-
IA from a financial standpoint that
.aet did not deter them from putting

Primaries in New England

Two New England states have Adopted the primary in all state con- tests in all it's breadth and freedom. These states are Maine and Massa- chusetts. Massachusetts selected last fall candidates for the legislature and state offices, and Maine will hold her first state wide primary on June IT next, when candidates for governor and a United States senator and va rious other officers will be selected by both parties. Both will vote side by side, and each party is required to file an enrolment list before the day of the primary.
 The canvass in Maine promises to be warm one on the republican side from the fact that there are three can- didates for governor and three for senator, while on the democratic side Plaisted for governor and Gardner for senator are unopposed.
 The other four New England states will soon fall into line and New Eng land may yet become stronghold of the primary system.
