recently. Mr.. Snyder returned to
Dallas to compare the Yamhill and
Polk county exhibitions, and noticed
that the latter had the former "beat-
en- a mile" The Register refuses
to believe that A. V. R. would go
back on Yamhill county in such a
fashion. Mr.. Snyder is like the hy-
phenated American who is so much in
the public mind just now. He has
removed the hyphen that put him in
the Yamhill-Polk classification, and
mind and effort are all for old Polk.
A. V. R. Snyder did do it, and fur
thermore he attended the state fair
last week and actually clapped his
hands in joy when the judges an
nounced that Polk county had taken
the blue ribbon over all counties, in
cluding dear, tender Yamhill.

JUDGE BELT SHOWS LENIENcY
Pleading Guilty to Larceny Ander-
son and Shea Are Paroled.

Charles Anderson and Joseph j..
Shea, who have been held in the
county Jail for a number of weeks
awaiting hearings, were sentenced to
indeterminate periods in the peniten-
tia1y by Circuit Judge H. H. Belt
yesterday, after pleading guilty to
charges of larceny and we're paroled.
Anderson was arrested with l.. W..
Carson, who escaped from the county
Jail on Sunday, for stealing hop sacks
from ranch near West Salem. Shea
stole a suit case containing many
valuable articles, from a buggy on the
streets of Independence. Anderson
plead guilty at the justice court hear
ing and when his sentence was reed
to him yesterday he said that hun
ger, at the time of his theft, had
made him irresponsible and that he
had stolen the hop sacks as a means
to get food. In paroling the charges
Judge Belt said:
81 may be doing the wrong thing
in showing leniency to you men, nut
if l am it will just mean the loss OF
that much more faith in mankind. 1t
is like tying a rock to a mans neck
and throwing him into water to put
him in the pemitentiary, a weight
that drags him down wherever he goes
after he is released. If there lis an
ounce of good in either of you, you
should live an upright life under par
ole and should abstain from intoxicat-
ing liquors. Anderson and Shea
were charged to report to the court
at stated intervals. to remain in the
state and to abstain from liquor.
Court was adjourned after reading
these sentences until today at one
o'clock, when jury eases will oe

NEW ROAD TO NEWPORT.
Ten Million Dollars to Build Railroad
to Sea.

The Portland & West Coast Rail.
road & Navigation company announced
plans today for building a railroad
from Portland to Newport, with a
branch extending to Bay City. The
prospective line would lessen the dis
tance from Portland to Newport by
SO miles. Much virgin territory, COW
cred by more than 10000, 10000 feet
of standing timber would be touched
by the road. J. H. Haak, wealthy
timber owner, is president of the
company projecting the line, which
would cost $10,000,000 to build.
The road would go through Sheri-
dan and to Willamina, thence through
the Coast to Grande Ronde, Forres-
ton, down the Salmon river to Siletz
bay and Newport.

WHAT
WHAT
ELECTRICITY
DOES
FOR THE HUMAN BODY
Part ".

In part one was shown how life it
self depends upon electric currents
in the body. in part two what cleo
trieity does in improving the muscles
of the body, stopping spasms and
contractions and opening contracted
canals of the body, in part three,
what it does for diseases of the ar
teries and kidneys, for rheumatism,
neuralgia lumbago ct caetera.
We will now see what it does in
inflammatory troubles depending up
on infection by disease germs. In
cases where no pus has formed yet
the very high voltage current, when
applied to the swelling, will generate
ozone in the tissues which kills the
germs, the bloodsupply is improved
and the lymphatic vessels are brought
to better action, carrying off the in
fammatory deposits. This is of the
greatest value in such deposits around
the uterus and tubes. When how
ever pus has formed inside of these
bodies, medium voltage currents are
used which drive germ killing chemi-
Gals into them and thus bring about
cure, without the patient being ex-
posed to the dangers of an operation
with the knife and without removed of
parts of her body.
In tumors the bleeding is stopped
by medium voltage currents and the
tumors themselves are dissolved and
brought TO absorption. thus avoiding
a mutilating knife operation
But the greatest value of electrici-

Big Cruise in Yamhill.

w. V. Fuller left on Friday fol
Yamhill county, where he will have
charge of an extensive timber cruis-
ing project for the county. The tract
to be cruised consists of about l1,OOO
acres and will keep the Polk county
forest expert busy throughout the
month of October c. o. Tennis and
Arthur Hayes are other Dallas men,
bers of the party which left here on
Friday. The season of fire hazard is
passed in Polk county so that the su-
pervising warden of the Polk County
Fire Patrol association is free to un-
dertake this big job.

SUES POLICY HOLDERS.
Harvey Wells Will Bring Action tc
Recover Assessments.

Harvey Wells, as receiver for the
Oregon Horticultural Fire Relief OF
Oregon, has filed petition at the Of
flee of the county clerk of Marion
county, asking permission to bring
suit against all of the policy holders
to recover the assessments due and
unpaid upon their policies. The pol
icy holders in many instances have
paid the last assessment levied but
some refused to pay upon the repre-
sentation of the committee in Port
land Of policy holders who profess to
entertain the belief that the assess
ment can be beaten in the courts. The
granting of permission to bring suits
against he policyholders in arrears
will open up the controversy and will
doubtless result in further litigation.

SPECIAL OFFER

One year ago The Observer
made a special rate of ONE
DOLLAR per year to all sub
; scribers outside of Polk coun-
> ty, and, at that time a number
> of Dallas people took advan-
; tage of the offer to send the
; paper abroad to old friends
; and acquaintances in the east
; and middle west. This offer
; will be repeated, and those
; sending us 81 before October
) Is for new subscriptions will
receive The Observer one year
: from that date for themselves
) or friends.
This is an opportunity to
) acquaint those residing in 9TH
; er states with the resources
and advantages of Polk coun-
) ty, inasmuch as The Observer
) loses no chance to exploit the
blue ribbon county of Oregon.
The large number of inquir-
) les, from other states during
the past year, for sample cop
les of The Observer leads to
the belief that interest is being
manifested in this immediate
locality. Send the home paper
abroad, and thus aid in ac-
quiring new settlers, and the
further development of Polk
county.

Few people know that hidden in the
many buttes that dot the plains of
North Dakota is a resource of bound
less wealth. From the clay in these
buttes it is possible to make china
that rivals the famous Haviland, and
certain kinds of brick, surpassed no.
where in the world. Near this clay
is usually found coal, the fuel so
necessary in manufacturing.
Clay for common building brick is
found in every county of North Da-
kota, but only six furnish clay from
which the finest pressed brick is
made. This pressed brick passed the
s~everest tests of the government
supervising architect and was pro-
nounced the best ever submitted to
him. There are a number of we'll
equipped factories in the state from
which brick is sent, not only all over
North Dakota, but also to many
other states. Brick-making is indeed
fast becoming an important industry
of North Dakota.
Experiments made with North Da-
kota clay show that some clay is es-
pecially adapted for pottery manu-

Following are the three essays Sc
lected from the Dickinson school:
North Dakota's Resources

In April I visited the North Da-
kota building at the San Francisco
fair. After seeing the exhibition of
our resources, both developed and
undeveloped, l was proud of my ma
tive state.
After entering the building, we
found ourselves in a Don devoted to
coal and clay exhibits. 1t is interest
ing to know that the estimated de-
post of Ignite coal in North Dakota
is SOC, OOO, OO0, 900 tons. This coal has
more waste than hard coal, but North
Dakota has started briquetting plants
to make the waste into a valuable
product. This cheap coal has done a
great deal toward increasing the
population of western North Dakota.
There was a splendid display of
brick and tile, most Of which was
manufactured near Dickinson. North
Dakota clay is suitable not only for
brick, but also for the finest pottery.
The exhibit of chinaware, which was
made and decorated by the students
of the University of North Dakota,
The Dickinson press., 1915-12-04

impressed me most. It is estimated
that we have clay enough in our
state. to supply the world with china
ware and pottery for a thousand
years to come.
In another room were the grain
and grass exhibits. The corn exhibit
surprised me most, until I learned
that in three years North Dakota has
made a gain Of 1000 per cent in corn
production.
We have made a record on the
quality of our tame grasses, especi-
ally alfalfa. A man not far from
Dickinson recently received a national
prize for the best Grimm alfalfa.
Our state is first in the production
of flax, it's nearest competitors hav-
ing only about one third as many
bushels.
In 1915 the state raised 149 1851, 1887
bushels of wheat, 100000 more
than any other state in the Union.
Flour made from this wheat is the
best in the world. North Dakota may
truthfully be called the "Bread Basket
of the World"

manufactured at n University is all
made of North Dakota clay.
Cement mines are found near Penn
bina. Biologists have made a study
of the quality of the cement and the
results seem to be very satisfactory.
Professor Babcock, an expert in
these subjects, was asked by the state
to prepare an exhibit of North Da-
kota clay products for the San
Francisco Exposition. A lady visit
ing the exposition saw this large ex-
hibit and was so much impressed by
it that she thought very seriously of
establishing a pottery factory near
Dickinson, the center of the pottery
clay territory. However, as yet,
nothing has come of it.
This great resource was discovered
but ten or fifteen years ago. Now
brick-making has a good start while
it is predicted that cement and pot
terry manufacture will become two of
North Dakota's greatest industries.
AGNES MOE.
N. d., Her Resources & Opportunities
Dear Bob:
, I have had a wonderful month here
in North Dakota.
"There's something in the atmosphere
That makes me want to stay here"
North Dakota is just crowded with
opportunitis and OVERLOOKING with
paying resources. The biggest asset
is agriculture. Wheat? There is
wheat everywhere! Such magnificent
fields of waving, ripening grain as I
have seen. The wheat stands higher
than the horses backs, with mon
strous heads averaging four to six
inches in length. They are filled
with big creamy kernels. Surely no
on should suffer for bread. The oats
are great. They yield on an average
seventy-five to eighty bushels per
acre. I saw many fields of alfalfa
and I declare, no Nebraska alfalfa
could beat it. I saw a few fields of
timothy which will surely yield two
and a half tons per acre. This isn't
grown much as yet for the farmers
use the long, nutritious prairie grass
for their. hay. Corn seems to be
getting a foothold here too. Over
two million bushels were raised here
in 1912 and the silos will call for
! more.
You car actually see the coal on
the hillsides! Deep beds of Ignite
are everywhere. Much of it lies so
near the surface that the farmers
with scrapers and dynamite dig their
own fuel. Besides this home mining
there were 298,350 tons mined in
1913. They say the amount has in
creased annually since. .e
Ranching is still profitable in the
uncultivated sections in the western
part Of the state. Many ~hundreds>of
range cattle Craze in the Bad Lands
and upon the Indian reservations.
I can't stop to tell you about the
promising clay here or any of the
other resources now, but I think you
will see what I have found here and
not wonder at my becoming a North
Dakota enthusiast.
