It strikes us that, in making up the premium list for the Publio School Industrial Fair, the managersomitted one of the most important agricultural products; in fact, one of the "neces sities of lite" to the small boy namely, the water-melon. If there Is any part "f his father's garden in which the average small boy Is Interested, it is the water-melon patch. The Obser vek Is going to square this oversight by giving a cash prize of $5 to the boy exhibiting the biggest water-melon at the School Fair to be held next Sep tember.

W. Leadbetter Purchase Interest in Qeriinger Railroad and Cone Sawmill. The largest business deal ever transacted in Polk county, and one of supreme importance to Dallas, was consummated this week, when H. 1m Pittock and F. W. Leadbetter, two of the leading capitalists of Oregon, purchased of L. Qeriinger an interest In the Dallas & Falls City railroad. and In the thousands of acre3 of timber land owned by Mr. Qeriinger iu the mountains west of Falls City, At the same time this deal was made, Mr. Qeriinger and his associates pur chased an interest in the Cone Lumber Company's big sawmill in Dallas. The new Arm has Incorporated under the significant Dame of the Willamette Valley Lumber Company, with officers as follows: L. Qeriinger, president; H. L. Pittock, vice-president; George T. Qeriinger, secretary and manager; F. W. Leadbe'ter, treasurer; Qeorge W. Cone, director and mill superintendent The first move of the new company will be to complete the plant of the big sawmill in this city, after which the mill will be operated steadily and with a greaily Increased capacity. A large lath mill will be added to mini mize the waste, and a force of work men are already engaged in putting in a complete system" of conveyors to handle the refuse of the mill. The company has enroute to Dallas two new boilers to add to th two now In use. The planers are already in posi tion, and several donkey engines are on the way to be used at the logging camps. The mill has a capaoity of 60.000 feet in 10 hours at the present time, but with the new maohlnery In oper ation, this capacity will at once be increased to 80,000 feet. Manager George Qeriinger informs us that It is probable that the plant will be run ning night and day inside of the next two months, which will increase the the capacity to 150,000 feet every 24 hours. The mill now gives employ ment to 40 men, but this number will be more than doubled when the plant commences working night and day shifts. The new company owns and operates 13 miles of first-class, standard-guage railroad, a four-mile extension having been built into the timber beyond Falls City last Summer and Fall. No changes will be made in the officers and employes of the railroad at this time, and the business will continue under the capable management of L. Qeriinger, Jr. Mr. Qeriinger says there will be a considerable amount of railroad extension in the timber next summer. Mr. Cone will be actively identified with the management of the sawmill, and will have the direct supervision of the enlargement of the plant. He has already demonstrated his thorough knowledge of the business by installing one of the best milling properties in Oregon. The general management of the company's affairs will be in the hands of George T. Qeriinger, who Is a wide-awake and practical sawmill and railroad man. Dallas is to be congratulated upon this turn of events, as, with such representative men interested here, a prosperous commercial future for the town Is assured. The thanks of our people for this desirable coudltlon of affairs are due to L. Qeriinger, Sr., whose keen foresight, progressive business methods, and strong person ality have been such potent factors in the upbuilding of Western Polk county. After years of faithful en deavor on the part of Dallas' enter prising citizens to open up the vast forests of the Lncklamute range ann thus secure to our town the trad which this development would bring. It remained for Mr. Qeriinger to come forward and carry the work to a suc cessful conclusion. It was due to his loyal friendship that Mr. Cone was Induced to come to Dallas whou seek ing a location for a sawmill. The local business men lent their hearty co-operation, and the result is that, in the new Cone sawmill and Johnson mill already established. Dallas has two of the best lumber manufacturing plants In Oregon. The good things for Dallas have only Just begun, but whatever the future growth and pros perity. Mr. Gerlinger will be known as the father of our best development. Dallas Defeats Chicago. The Dallas College basketball team defeated the Meteors of Chicago by a score of 15 to 13, Saturday evening, in one of the roughest games ever seen on the home floor. The contest was irnod -natural, however, and both teams seemed willing to "give and take." The Chicago boys piayea better ball than did the Eed Wing, Minnesota, boys, who played here recently, but lacked skill In team work and depended on making points by long throws from the field. Referee Carper, of Chicago, said at tne close of the eame that hia team had been beaten fairly by a stronger team, and it Is hard for the Dallas boys to be lieve that he made the statement attributed to him at the close of the M. C. A. eame in Portland to tLe effect that his team did not receive fair treatment in Dallas. The Dallas- Chicago game closed the 1905-6 season. Buys Fine Horse. Charles Snelling, salesman for Singmaster& Sons, has sold a nne German Coach stalnon to J. Brown, ot Airlie. The horse is four years old. and was imported rrom Oldenburg. Germany. The price paid for him by Mr. Brown was t3,000. HATS! '1 i NO TWO MEN LOOK ALIKE. Is it then reasonable to suppose that the same style Hat will bo equally becoming to all men ? We are inclined to think not. We go upon the supposition that the v Greater the Variety of shapes, width of brims, heights of crowns and colorings, the greater will be the satisfaction. Accordingly we present the greatest variety of Spring Hats to be seen in this vicinity. It embraces all shapes, colorings and proportions from the conservative shapes to the latest in Young Men's snappy styles. MEN'S SHIRTS Correct Styles. With most Men it isn't so much what they pay for Shirts, as it is what they get for their money. They want to feel safe as to style, material, fit and good Shirt making. If a Shirt satisfies, they are not apt to stand on the matter of price. 8 If J r-uww-iurmt-f We aim to have our shirts Perfectly Correct. We always watch the money saving side, also. Our new Spring Shirts are of Foreign and Domestic materials in hand some new patterns of stripes and figures. We offer to our trade the verv latest ideas in Shirts that the best makers have produced.
