DALLAS, OREGON, Fkbruaby 26,1904 The way to build up Dallas is to pat- roniu Dallas people. NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. Beginning Tuesday, March 1, the yearly subscription price of the Polk County Observer will be $1.50. The announcement of the change in price was made three weeks ago, and since that time sub scriptions have been coming in at a lively rate from patrons who wished to take advantage of the old price of one dollar. With these remit tances, in nearly every instance, have come good words for the Ob server in its enlarged form, and the assurance that these subscribers will gladly pay the small increase in rates when their subscription exnire . next vear. Our readers will please remember that sub scriptions at one dollar a year wi be received until next Tuesday, at which time the price of the pape will be advanced to $1.50. Th clubbing price of the Observer and the Weekly Oregonian under th new arrangement will be $2 a yea an advance of 25 cents over th present rate. The Observer makes this small raise in its subscription price for the reason that the in creased cost of paper, typ machinery and labor makes it necessary to charge more than on dollar a year for the paper in its enlarged form, and for the further reason that we believe the paper is worth the price asked for it. For the last five years, we have bee devoting a large percentage of the profits of the business to the en largement and improvement of th tinner. und, wo A j this course, until we make the Ob server second to no country week Jy in Oregon, and then, if the town is large enough to justify the move we intend to publish a daily. The Portland woolen mill, which was moved from Dallas toSellwood bv Port and capitalists a lew years ago, was totally destroyed by fire last Thursday afternoon. The y blaze originated in the picker room. The loss is estimated at $150,000. The company carried in 8u ra nee to th e a mou n t of $ 1 00,000 One hundred and fifty hands were thrown out of employment. The stockholders have not decided whether they will rebuild, and, if they do, it is doubtful if Sell wood opts the new mill. A strong effort is being made to get the company to rebuild at St. Johns, or some other noirit down the river. The hoodoo that was on this inill in California followed it to Dallas, and every man who touched it here lost money on it. The Dallas stockholders virtually gave the mill to the Carter brothers, little dreaming that it would ever be moved from this city, but no sooner had the latter secured control of the property than they set about finding a location in some town where the citizens would pay them a large sum for moing it. They finally succeeded in forming astock company in Portland, and the mill was removed to Sellwood and oper ated about two years before its de struction by fire. balem secured the lurst District Republican Congressional conven tion, winning out easily over its two rivals, Independence and Forest Grove. The date set by the centra committee i9 April 13 one day before the state convention in Portland. Polk county is entitled to nine delegates one more than her apportionment two years ago. Some members of the party who profesB to detect political signifi cance in the contest for the meeting place of the convention are found who claim that the result was a victory for the Harris forces, while others say that the 23 votes in Marion county look good to Her maun's supporters, and that the latter were ready to give Salem anything she asked for. The con gressional contest is now on in earnest, and those who know the fighting qualities of the two lead ing candidates have no reason to doubt that it will be a warm one from start to finish. California Democrats want Hearst for President, and the Oregon Democrats would like to see Gover nor Chamberlain nominated for Vice-President. The party leaders in the two states will doall in their power to pledge the delegates to the National convention "to act in concert." This is taken to mean that Oregon will stand for Hearst as long as he has any show of win ning the Presidential nomination. In case the owner of the big yellow newspapers cannot land the nomi nation, California will be bound to support Mr. Chamberlain for Vice President. Each side is doubtless trying to work a smooth game on the other, but the play is harmless and no bad feeling will result, for the simple reason that neither Hearst nor Chamberlain will come in a thousand miles of winning in the convention.

CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING Air. and Mrs. Smith Gilliam Were Among Earliest Pioneers of Willamette Valley. Mr. and Mrs. Smith Gilliam cele brated their golden wedding anni versary at their home in Walla Walla, Wash., Tuesday. Mr. Gilliam, who is a brother of Mrs. F. M. Collins, of Dallas, was long one of Polk county's leading citizens, and his good wife is a daughter of one of Oregon's promi nent pioneer families. Of this worthy couple, the Oregon ian's Walla Walla correspondent says : "Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Gilliam were married near Dallas, Oregon, Febru ary 23, 1854. and were among the earliest pioneer couples of the Wil lamette and Walla Walla Valleys Mr. Gilliam crossed the plains in 1844, settling in tho Autumn of that year near where is now the site of Dallas. Mrs. Gilliam came West by ox train in 1852, and is 73 years old, while her husband is 75. "W. S. Gilliam was prominently identified with the early history of Polk county. He was its first Sheriff, receiving the appointment from the County Commissioners of Polk in 1851. On May 11, 1852, when he was but 23 years old, he carried out Polk's first execution, R. W. Everman being the man hanged. Mr. Gilliam was County Assessor in 1851-1852, and was a member of the Territorial Legis lature of 1853-1854. "Mr. Gilliam was a son of Colonel Cornelius Gilliam, head of the Oregon Volunteer troops sent against the Cayuse Indians. Colonel Gilliam was accidently killed on his return from the Cayuse Indian war. His death in March, 1848, left a widow and seven children to face pioneer hardships, of whom W. S. Gilliam was the eldest. "Mrs.Gilliam who formerly was Miss Esther Taylor, was the daughter of James Taylor, of Niles, Mich., who settled at Dallas in 1852. Mrs. Gilliam was a teacher, having taught in several schools in the Willamette Valley. She is a relative of the noted Aldrich clan of Rhode Island. 'Mr. and Mrs. Gilliam kept open house for their friends Tuesday. Be yondthis, there was no observance of the rare anniversary."

Tho Dallas College basket-ball team was defeated by the Willamette Universary players in Salem, Wed nesday night, by the decisive score of 20 to 9. The bovs played their respective positions well, but were clearly outclassed by their opponents. They speak in tho highest terms of the fair and courteous treatment ac corded them by the Salem team, and say that, while the Salem players were much heavier and larger all around, no rough work was indulged in. The Salem papers unite in saying that the game was the fastest and most inter esting ever played in the Capital City The Statesman says: "Tho Willam ette men were much larger than their opponents and excelled in fast, aggressive playing, finally wearing out the visitors. The Dallas ' men were better at passing the ball and put up tho best team work ever seen in Salem." A return game will be played in Dallas soon probably next Friday eveuing. German Coach Stallion.
