Poll! bounty Observer J. C. HAYTER, EDITOR AND PUBLISH KR. Publisliel Weekly at 11.50 per Year. St riot lv in Advance. DILLAS, OREGON. APRIL 20, 1906 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. r After the big primary contest is over, the Local Option question will begin to occupy the center of the stage. It is the duty of every voter to go to the pollstoday. If you haveobjections to any candidate, express them this afternoon, or forever afterwards hold your peace. Do the voters of Oregon desire the continuation of boss rule and the con trol of the Legislature by the rich corporations? The vote this afternoon will decide. OPTION ON LIGHT PLANTS Will the trusts ana neb corpora tions continue to dominate Oregon Legislatures? The answer is in the peoples' bands, and the question wil be decided by them this afternoon. One of Jonathan Bourne's adver tising schemes is a toothpick with his picture, labeled "My pick for U. S, Senator." A man running for the most dignified position in the govern ment advertising on a toothpick! Isn't that enough to make the bones of Daniel Webster rattle? Albany Democrat. The horror of the situation in San Francisco cannot be realized. Ne.ws from the stricken city hourly grows worse. Late dispatches indicate that practically the entire business portion of the city is destroyed. Hundreds of lives were lost, and the loss of proper ty will reach into the millions. Near ly every public building in the city was destoryed. The disaster is one of the greatest in the history of the world. U'REN SAYS HE IS RIGHT! Mr. W. S. TJ'Een is right and Senator Fulton is wrong. Mr. U'Ren says so, and Mr. U Ren must know. If he don't, It is the first time ever recorded whore he did not know more than everybody else. He says he intended statement No. 1 to be just what it claims to be, a plank making possible the election of a Democrat if tho Re publican voters fail to accept their minority-plurality nominated candi date for the United States senate. Are not tho voters of the Republican party tired of this Fopulistic twaddle? Mr. U'Ren wrote the direct primary law, and not five per cent of the people who voted for it ever read it before they found themselves "up against it" In its practical working. They now wish they had read It, but that is neither hore nor there. They didn't, and that is all there is about It. Features of the law which are man datory have to bo regarded by the voters, so long as the law continues In elYect. Those features which are only reoommendatory, and which grow in unpopularity as the dangers to which they lead the people becomo more evi dent, can be avoided, and thero is little doubt they will be. Salem Statesman. Big Electric Light Company to Take Over Plants in Dallas, Independ ence and Monmouth. Tuesday's Telegram contains the following item : "Manager A. Welch, of the Willamette Valley Company, has returned from a trip to Eugene and points on the west side of the Willamette River, to announce that the company has just closed nego tiations for the taking over of the Independence, Monmouth and Dallas electric light plants, and all will' be consolidated into the one system, which is being formed of the various plants throughout the Valley. "Each of the plants is of about 100 horsepower capacity, but they will be merged into one station, probably at Dallas, which will be enlarged and improved to a maximum capacity of over 500 horsepower. The Independ ence and Monmouth plants are the property of D. Calbreath, and that at Dallas was purchased from Thomp son Bros. The consideration is with held." The above item has been confirmed by Manager Thompson, of the Dallas plant, so far as the sale of his plant is concerned. He says the Willamette Valley Company has secured a option on the Dallas plant until June 1, paying $1000 therefor. He says he understands it is the intention of the company to establish a central power plant here and furnish a light service and a day power service for all three towns, and further to enlarge and im prove the system so as to give the very best service possible.

Plato McFee, a farmer living in the Pioneer settlement west of Dallas, was killed by the explosion of a shot gun Tuesday afternoon, tie was hunting squirrels in the woods near his home when the accident occurred, When he failed to return home for supper, the family became alarmed and notified the neighbors, who Joined in a search for him. They soon found the dead body at the foot of an oak tree ab Mit a quarter of a mile from the house. Scattered around him were fragmeuts of the shotgun, which had evidently exploded in his hands. A steel sliver from the breech1 had pene trated his neck and severed the left carotid artery, causing him to bleed to death. O. N. Harrington, a neighbor, heard a shot in the afternoon, followed by a cry, but thought little about it, as many hunters frequent the woods near his houe, and are often heard shout ing to each other. The gun which caused the accident was of ancient pattern, evidently an old army rifle bored out and transformed into a shot gun, lue position of the body, when found, showed that the unfortunate man had struggled violently after being wounded. Both hands were covered with blood, indicating that he had pressed them to his neck in an effort to stop the How of blood.

He was 4G years of age, and left a wife and two children, sou and a daughter. His aged father, who is in feeble health lived with him. Mr. McFee was an honest, hard-working man, and his tragic death has cast a gloom ovei the com munity in which he had lived so long. His funeral was held in the M. E. Church In Dallas yesterday morning, nd the remains were given burial in the Odd Fellows' cemetery. BUSINESS LOCALS. Dr. Hayter. Dentist. Office over Wilson's Drugstore. Dallas. Oregon.
