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.

JURY'S VERDICT SET ASIDE
judge Benson Grants New Trial in
the Case of Riggs vs nail
Brothers.
.Tiulffo Benson, of Klamath Full's,
who presided at the December term of
Circuit Court in Lincoln county, has
sot n side the verdict of the jury and
granted a new trial in the case of
T. 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. Hall iirotners are
merchants at Siletz, Oregon.

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

BRIGHT'S DISEASE.
The largest euro ever paid for a pie
seription, changed hands in San Fran
eisco, August 30, 1901. The transfer in
volved in coin and stock $112,600.00 and
was paid by a party of business men for
a specific for Bright'! Disease and Din
betes, hitherto incurable diseases.
They commenced the serious investi
gation of the specific Nov. 15, 1900.
They interviewed scores of the cured
and tried it out on its merits by putting
over three dozen cases on Hip treatment
and watching them. They also got phy
sician! to name chronic, incurable cases,
and administered it with tho physicians
for judges. Up to Aug. 25, eighty-seven
per cent of the test cases were either
well or progressing favorably.
There being but thirteen per cent of
failures, the parties were satisfied and
closed the transaction. The proceedings
of the investigating committee and the
clinical reports of the test cases were
