FAMILY REUNION Enjoyable Day Spent on Shady Banks of Lucklamute River. The members of the family of Harri on T.inville celebrated their annual ovu - family reunion on the old home place, Sunday.

A delightful luncheon was spread in the groveon the banks of the Lucklamute. and all present enjoyed themselves to the utmost Those who assembled at this pleas ant gathering were : Mrs. Mary David son, of Parker; Mr. ana iurs. x-.u Davidson and their three sons, also of Parker; Mrs. Lida Cox, of Parker, with her two daughters from Portland ; Ralph Davidson and Mrs. A.

Belt Sher The various Fourth of July com mittees met in the Observeb office Friday evening and audited the bills contracted by the committees in charge of the big two days' cele bration. The cost of the numerous entertainment features were all found to be very close to the previous esti mates of the executive committee, proving that the financial end of the celebration had been ably managed. All bills were paid by warrant on Treasurer N. L. Guy, and by holding these caucelled vouchers and the original bills, the finance committee will be able to account for the disposi tion of the fund to a cent. As nearly as can be ascertained at the present time, about $125 will remain in the treasurer's hands after all bills have been paid. This amount will be held in trust by the finance committee for those who contributed to the fund, until instructions are received as to what shall be done with it From what the Observer has learned as to the wishes of the contributors, it seems to be the general desire that the money shall be used In placing a neat drinking fountain on Main street, somewhere near the center of the Courthouse square. The need of a public drinking fountain has long been felt in Dallas, and the expendi ture of the remainder of the Fourth of July fund in securingthis needed con venience seems to meet with general approval. The style or cost of a fountain has not been considered, but it is hardly probable that $125 would pay for a fountain that would be creditable to the general appearance of the city. In case this amount should prove insuffi cient to secure a neat and useful foun tain, it would not be out of place to call upon the City Council to appro priate a reasonable amount to make up the deficiency. The Observer would suggest that the council appoint a committee to act with the celebration committee in ascertaining the cost ot a neat and substantial fountainone that will be so constructed as to furnish water for men, horses and dogs and that these committees report the result of their investigations at the earliest possible date. The movement for a public drinking fountain is too good to be delayed or lost sight of, and now is the time to act C. L. STARR IS CHOSEN Polk County Man Elected to Office of Secretary of State Normal Regents. C. L. Starr, editor of the Falls City News, and until recently School Super intendent of Polk county, was elected to the office of Secretary of the State Normal Regents by a unanimous vote of the board at a meeting held in Sa lem, Wednesday afternoon. The office carries a salary of $1500 a year and expenses. Mr. Starr is a native of California, havinar been born in Santa Clara county, February 13, 1877. He moved with his parents to Yamhill county, Oregon, when a child, and later came to Polk county where he received his education in the schools of Dallas and Falls City. He began teaching at the early age of 17 years and followed that occupation with splendid success for a neriod of s i years. In 1900 he was elected School Superintendent of Polk county, and in 1304 was re-elected by handsome majority. Last .year he was one of the principal teachers In the Summer Normal school in Mon mouth. In 1902 he was honored by the teachers of Oregon by election to the office of President of the State Depart ment of Superintendence of the Ore gon State Teachers' Association. As Superintendent of Folk uounty, Mr. Starr was original and progressive in his methods, and the schools or the county were brought to a high degree of efficiency under his direction. He was the originator of the plan or hold- g annual school officers meetings connection with the county teachers' institutes, a plan that has since been idooted bv nearly every county in the state. He was also the father of the plendid School Children's Industrial Fair held in Dallas last Fall. He a i .an voluntarily resignca me uxkk iu intwrintendent a few months ago to become the editor and publisher of the Falls City News. Mr. Starr will move to saiem at once to assume the duties of his new position, where an office will be fitted hd for him in the uapitoi Duuaing. His work as Secretary of the Normal Schools will require his entire atten tion, but he will retain bis newspaper nroDertv at Falls City, leaving the active management of the paper In capable Lands.
