Passengers in Record Year.

The Southern Pacific company has
closed the fiscal year ending June 30

tition with all other roads, was award
ed the Hartman Memorial medal for

billion passengers a, distance of one
mile, with but one fatality in a train
accident. The latter occurred early
IN 1904 at lone and was caused by de-
fective equipment on foreign line

: DALLAS, THE PRUNE CITY
Z + I. + Z. + + + + + 4. + = + + 4. !,

The following two-minute talk OF
Dallas and its industries was deliver
ed before the Portland Ad. club, OF
the occasion of Buyers week by Mr.
f. E. Davis of this city:
"The beautiful little city of Dallas
the prune city of the west. is the
county seat of Polk county, the ban.
ner county Of this great and wonder
ful state of Oregon. Dallas is Ga
miles south of Portland, 16 miles
southwest Of the state capital. Dal-
las has 10 passenger trains daily; ia
blocks Of paved and macadamized
streets; $4,000 high school build
ing, well equipped, and second to
none in all her school work. Polk
county is free from debt-Dallas has
approximately $4,000 bonded indebt-
edness. Something to be proud of, is
it not? Our water supply comes from
gushing mountain springs, the purest
and best water to be had and equal
to Bull Run any day. There are more
oiled roads in Polk county than any
other county in the state outside of
Multnomah. Our lumber mills, plan
ing mills, car shops, foundry, -four
mills, packing plant, tannery, ice
plant and soda works are the chief
industries in the city. We have two
hotels, the Gail and the I'M
perial.
"Our merchants are live-wires and
firmly believe that,
No merchant finds success in life,
Nor ever will, until
He sells the goods that won It come
back,
To customers that will.
"We have room for more live-wires
n our town. If you come, and are
! live one you will make good; if
'Ou are dead one-we have a beau
iful cemetery where we bury the
ead."

On Alsea Fishing Grounds

P. A. Finseth and J. C. Hayter ar.
rived home Saturday from a week Is
fishing trip on the Alsea river and its
tributaries. They Travelled by auto
mobile from Corvallis to Tidewater
and came home by way of Waldport
and Yaquina bay. They unite in de-
claring this the best mountain outing
they ever enjoyed. Salmon trout are
biting freely on the lower river and
mountain trout are plentiful in the
upper reaches of the stream. The
season, however, is too far advanced
for the best results in fly fishing.
