DALLAS, OREGON, JANUARY 22, 1904 The -way to build up Dallas is to pat ronise Dallas people. DALLAS' GREATEST NEED. Dallas' greatest need at the present time is more business buildings and dwelling houses. There is not a vacant dwelling in the town, and the Observer's census report will show that in many instances two, and even three, families are living under one roof. More repidence property is being purchased than ever before at this season of the year. Renters having the houses sold from under them are compelled either to build or move away from town. The same conditions prevail in the business district. Not a vacant store room can be found, and every old wooden shack on the side streets is occupied by a business of some kind. Rents are steadily in creasing, and merchants who do not own their buildings are con stantly in fear of having to seek a less desirable and prominent loca tion, or of having to retire from business in the town. In another column of this paper appears the "closing out sale" advertisement of one of Dallas prominent and enter prising merchants, whose building has been rented from under him and who is unable to find a suitable building in which to carry on his business. Dallas needs more houses, and needs them badly. The demand for houses at this com paratively quiet season of the year is nothing to what it will be next Snrins and Summer. The building situation is one that .deserves the prompt and serious consideration of men who have capital awaiting investment. It is not too early to begin mak ing plans for a grand Fourth of July celebration in Dallas this year. The county seat town has not celebrated the glorious Fourth since 1901, and it is up to us to clay in this year of our Lord, 1904, in a manner befitting Dallas repu tation as a live and progressive town. Preparations for a proper observance of the day should begin at once. Andrew Carnegie offers to give Eugene a $10,000 library building, but Eugene doesn't want it. Eugene is wise; and so is the city of Grants Pass, which recently refused a similar offer. Generosity of the Carnegie sort may be appreciated in the Eastern cities, but out here in Oregon the people are not look ing for any gift with a $1000-a-year string to it. Theodore Roosevelt will receive the Republican nomination for President of the United btates in Chicago. The date fixed for the National convention is Tuesday, June 21. The formal call was issued by Chairman Ilanna last baturday. WILL BUILD THEATER Woodmen Will Put Dp $10,000 Building in Dallas Next Summer. The Woodmen of Dallas will put up a $10,000 theater and lodge building in Dallas next Summer, provided a suitable building site can be secured. At a meeting of the local Camp lust night, a committee was appointed to select a site and report as soon as practical. E. C. Kirkpatriek, chair man, requests the committee to meet in the county court room ut 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon to discuss matters of importance relative to the location of the proposed building. J. Bagley, of Airlio, was a Dallas visitor last Friday. Hon. II. V. Gates came up from Hillsboro yesterday. The committees appointed to raise money for building a walk to the cemetery are requested to meet at City Hall next Monday evening at 7 :30.

A. Riggs vs. Hall Urotners. in case was brought by Mr. Itiggs, Dallas merchant, to recover- su, flmnaffos for the defendant's failu to deliver seven tons of chittim bark which they sold to him under contract at 3j cent3 a pound. At the time the contract was made, the bark was worth about 3 cunts a nonnd. but. before the time for de livery arrived, the commodity hud reached the unprecedented price of 15 to 20 cents a pound. Breaches of con tract were not uncommon when bark reached the latter price. The case was tried at Toledo in De cember, and resulted in a compromise vnrrlint of Si damages for Mr. Eiggs. Judge Benson set aside this verdict as contrary to the law and the evidence, and the case will be re-tried at the July term of the Lincoln County Circuit Court.

No. 20, Rebekah De gree, held a public installation of officers in the Odd Follows' hall, Tuesday evening. Each member of the lodge was permitted, to invite a guest, and about 125 persons witness ed the impressive ceremonies, which were conducted by District Deputy President Mrs. J. E. Sibley. The hall was tastily decorated with ferns and mistletoe, and was lighted by Chinese lanterns, rink and green ribbon hung in graceful festoons from the ceiling, and handsome decorations were in evidence at the several officers' stations. After the new officers took their seats, a short musical program was rendered. At 10 o'clock the members of the lodge and their guests sat down to one of the most elaborate suppers ever served in Dallas. A table extending the full length of the largo hall was laden with the delicacies of the season, and, in the merry hour that followed, full iustice was done to the bountirul rennet. Shortly before midnight the guests took their departure, with many words of appreciation of the hospitality their hostesses of tho evening. The new officers of the lodge are : Miss Mav Shelton, noble grand ; Miss Edith Houek, vice grand ; Miss Eloise Phillips, rec. secretary; Mrs. Hattie Sfblov, fin. secretary : Miss JSora iVOOVVtfctUIJ, ' WUUBUlfci ; illlb.
