The Royal Month and the Royal
Disease.
Sudden changes of weather are es
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to tho scrofulous and
consumptive. The progress of scrof
ula during a normal October is com
monly great. We never think of
scrofula its bunches, cutaneous erup
tions, and wasting of tho bodily
substance without thinking of the
great good many sufferers from it have
derived from Hood's Sarsaparilla,
whose radical and permanent cures of
this one disease are enough to make
it the most famous medicine in the
world. There is probably not a city
or town where Hood's Sarsaparilla
has not proved its merit in more homes
than one, in arresting and completely
eradicating scrofula, which is almost
as serious and as much to be feared
as its near relative consumption.

We are threatened with another
epidemic of the hoop skirt. We are
opposed to the hoop skirt on general

when the hoop skirt held sway, and

WILL ADVERTISE OREGON
Harriman Line Will Boom State With
Folders Sunset Magazine to
Assist In Campaign.
As predicted by the Observer a few
weeks ago, the Southern Pacific Com
pany is preparing to advertise Oregon
as it has never been advertised before.
The Telegram says that A. L. Craig,
general passenger agent, is preparing
to begin a heavy advertising campaign
by sending a staff of photographers
and writers into the state to take
pictures and secure data conceroing
industrial affairs and resources of all
kiuds, to be used in railroad and
steamship folders, and in the Sunset
magazine.
A. W. Rice, a skilled photographer
from San Francisco, will center his
efforts in securing pictures as follows :
Dried fruits, packing-houses and
orchards of Salem, Dallas, Dundee
and Albany.
Apple orchards and packing houses
of Medford and Central Point.
The hop industry at Salem, Inde
pendence, Dallas and Eugene.
Fish at Astoria.
Woolen mills at Oregon City, Salem
and Brownsville.
Flouring mills of Portland, Oregon
City and Salem.
Paper mills at Lebanon and Oregon
City.
Dairies and condensed milk factories
at Hillsboro, Forest Grove, Inde
pendence, Albany, North Yamhill,
Hazel Fern farm and Crystal Springs
farm, near Portland.
Lumber mills of the Intnan-Poulsen
Company.Portland Lumber Company,
Eastern & Western Lumber Company,
and mills at Salem, Grants Pass and
Springfield.
Excelsior factory at Eugene.
Chair factory at Albany.
Fruit canneries at Eugene, Salem,
Springbrook and Portland.
Scenery on the Columbia, Willam
ette, Bogue and Umpqua rivers.
State institutions at Salem, Cor
vallis, Chemawa and Eugene.
Photographs of Oregon forests will
be taken at various points.
It is the company's intention to
feature Oregon along with California,
in all its immigration literature, and
in Sunset, from this time forth, and a
special effort will be made to publish
to the world the splendid resources of
the Willamette, Umpqua and Rogue
river valleys.
Southern Oregon is also to receive
special attention this month from the
advertising department of the Harri
man lines in Oregon. R. M. Hall,
head of the advertising bureau, will
leave for the south as soon as the ex
position closes. He will devote some
time to gathering statistics and photo
graphs of the fruit and agricultural
industries and manufacturing enter
prises. It is said that from this date
A. L. Craig's department will push

the publicity of Southern Oregon
resources with the same vigor hereto
fore applied by his men to the advertis
ing of the Hood River valley.
Mr. Hall writes the Observer that
he will be in Dallas within the next
three weeks to familiarize himself
with the industries and resources of
this portion of Polk county.
One-Legged Boxers May Contest.
John Emmitt, of Drain, Oregon,
lays claim to the title of champion
one-legged boxer in the United States.
PegMcCall, a one-legged scrapper of
Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, is less
modest, and claims the championship
of the world. Emmitt has issued a
challenge to the Eastern man, and a
match may result. Young Emmitt
formerly lived in Polk county, and
lost his leg while playing around the
machinery in a grain warehouse at
Monmouth. The loss of the limb did
not appear to inconvenience him
greatly, and for many years he was
rated as one of the most powerful
athletes in the Normal School town.
He was a skillful baseball pitcher,
and played with the Monmouth team
in many games on the Dallas grounds.
When engaged in this sport, he used'no
crutch or support, but balanced him
self on his one leg and threw a swift
curve ball that puzzled the best batters
of the opposing team.
Trespass notices printed on cloth
can be had in any quantity desired at
the Observer office.

BUILDING NEARLY FINISHED
Dallas Woodmen Hall Will Be Ready
For Occupancy in About
Two Weeks.
The carpenters are putting ihe
finishing touches on the new Wood
men Hall in this city, and will com
plete thoir work inside of the next ten
days or two weeks. The painters and
paper-hangers, under the supervision
of Contractor II. P. Shriver, began
work Saturday, and are making good
progress on the interior finish of the
big building. The carpenters are put
ting on the wainscoting, and the door
and window casings will be added a3
soon as the paper-hangers finish their
task. The plumbing is all completed
and the large furnace In the basement
is ready for use.
The Dallas Woodmen Hall will be
one of the largest and most con
veniently arranged lodge buildings
in Oregon when completed, and will
be a credit and an ornament to the
town. Besides furnishing a cozy
home for Dallas Camp, No. 209, and
Mistletoe Circle, No. 33, (the women's
branch of the order,) it will be occu
pied by Marmion Lodge, No. 9f,
Knights of Pythias, the members of
which lodge have secured the use of
the large hall for their weekly meet
ings. Four rooms on the ground
floor have been leased by theLaCreole
Club, an organization of local busi
ness and professional men. The upper
story has boon fitted up as a modern
theater, where performances by home
talent and the better class of traveling
companies will be given. It is the in
tention of tho Camp to open its hall to
none but meritorious attractions, to
the end that the people may not be
imposed upon by inferior companies,
and that better theatrical troupes may
be induced to come to Dullas than
have visited the town in the past.
The new hall occupies the site of
the old M. E. Church building, at the
corner of Washington aud Jefferson
streets, and Is conveniently located,
being only one and one-half blocks
from the courthouse, aud the same
distance from the postofflce. The
main entrance is on Jefferson street,
and the stage entrance is on Wash
ington street.
Entering the main lobby on Wash
ington street, a wide, roomy stairway
leads to the main hall on tho second
floor. At the head of this stairway is
a commodious coat room for the use
of the camp members. Here also are
found toilet rooms, wardrobes for
lodge paraphernalia, and a cozy room
for the use of the Camp team. The
main hall is by far the largest lodge
room in Dallas, and will easily seat
the 230 members of the Camp and
leave ample space for tho floor work.
The lighting facilities will bo modern
in every respect.
The dining hall and kitchen to be
used by tho Camp are on the ground
floor. These rooms are not large, but
are conveniently arranged and will
afford ample accommodation for all
ordinary lodge gatherings. Immedi
ately in the rear of tho dining room
is the furnace room, where a large
furnace of the latest improved pattern
has been installed. The furnace room
has ample capadity for the storage of
a year's supply of wood.
The LaCreole Club will occupy four
rooms on the lower floor. Tho main
entrance opens into a parlor and a
reading room, and also into the
billiard room. These rooms will be
handsomely furnished, and, when
ready for occupancy, will compare
favorably with any club quarters In
tbe valley. The club has handsome
furniture in its present quarters in
the Crid'-r block, and will purchase
more when tbe change to the new
buildine is made. In addition to the
two costly billiard tables now owned
by tbe club, a first-class pool table
will be Installed.
The entire upper floor will be used
romnoiiiT'rAn
tops tin cougl nl lel lni
Powder
as a theater on such nights as it is
not used for lodge purposes. The
main hall will be furnished with
comfortable chairs, and will have a
seating capacity of not less than COO
people. The hall will be well heated
aud will have excellent ventilation,
thus assuriug the comfort of the
audience at any season of the year.
Architect Morrison has given particu
lar attention to the ventilation, and
has devised means whereby the air in
the room will undergo an entire
change every forty minutes.
The stage will be provided with
modern accessories in the way of
scenery aud fixtures, and the lighting
effects will be the same as are em
ployed in all first-class theaters. The
footlights will be placed in a metal
lined trough at the front of the stage,
and will be completely hidden from
the view of the audience. Two com
fortable d ressi n g rooms an d a prope rty
room are located on the ground floor,
directly underneath the &tage. Here
also is a room for the use of the
orchestra, from which the musicians
will reach the main floor by means of
a stairway and door under the front
of the stage.
An orchestra of fourteen men is be
ing organized for the winter season,
and rehearsals will begin iu about
two weeks. The hall is well suited to
dancing purposes, and it is probable
that many parties will be given dur
ing the coming winter.
The Dallas Woodmen Hall will be
dedicated on the evening of November
7, at which time it is expected that
there will be the greatest gathering of
Woodmen of the World ever seen in
Oregon on a like occasion. Hon. 1. 1.
Boak, Head Consul of the Pacific Jur
isdiction, will come from Denver to
officiate at the dedicatory ceremonies,
and prominent Woodmen will bo
present from all part3 of the state.
Captain V. P. Fiske, who has been
active iu working up interest in the
meeting, says teams of the uniform
rank are expected from Independence,
Monmouth, Sheridan, McMinnville,
Newberg, Cornelius, Dayton, Gaston,
Amity, and other west side towns, and
a largo attendance of members of the
order is assured from every nook and
corner of Polk county. If the weather
is favorable, a monster parade will
precede the exercises at the hall. The
meeting will be free to the public, and
it is expected that the crowd in attend
ance will test the capacity of the big
building.
Charged With Theft.
A. E. McBride, of Salem, was
arrested at the locks at Willamette
Falls last Thursday morning by
Policeman Shaw, on a telegram from
Salem. McBride is accused of the
theft of a watch from ltobert Duncan,
of Zona, Polk county. He got off a
boat while it was going through the
locks. He was placed in jail and an
officer came down from Salem Thurs
day afternoon, identified him, and re
turned with him on the night train.
One Good Turn, Etc.
T. T. Ceer, who wants to once more
be governor of Oregon, inflicts on the
public a long-winded reply to an edi
torial in the Dallas Observer, but he
does not clearly answer any of the
Observer's charges. This is no time,
anyhow, for Timothy to be a candidate.
He should see that Chamberlain is re
elected, then (maybe) in 1910 George
will pay the debt by helping Tim.
