The way to build up Dallas is to pat
ronize Dallas people.
r
After the big primary contest is
over, the Local Option question will
begin to occupy the center of the stage.
It is the duty of every voter to go to
the pollstoday. If you haveobjections
to any candidate, express them this
afternoon, or forever afterwards hold
your peace.
Do the voters of Oregon desire the
continuation of boss rule and the con
trol of the Legislature by the rich
corporations? The vote this afternoon
will decide.
OPTION ON LIGHT PLANTS
Will the trusts ana neb corpora
tions continue to dominate Oregon
Legislatures? The answer is in the
peoples' bands, and the question wil
be decided by them this afternoon.
One of Jonathan Bourne's adver
tising schemes is a toothpick with his
picture, labeled "My pick for U. S,
Senator." A man running for the
most dignified position in the govern
ment advertising on a toothpick!
Isn't that enough to make the bones
of Daniel Webster rattle? Albany
Democrat.
The horror of the situation in San
Francisco cannot be realized. Ne.ws
from the stricken city hourly grows
worse. Late dispatches indicate that
practically the entire business portion
of the city is destroyed. Hundreds of
lives were lost, and the loss of proper
ty will reach into the millions. Near
ly every public building in the city
was destoryed. The disaster is one of
the greatest in the history of the world.
U'REN SAYS HE IS RIGHT!
Mr. W. S. TJ'Een is right and Senator
Fulton is wrong. Mr. U'Ren says so,
and Mr. U Ren must know. If he
don't, It is the first time ever recorded
whore he did not know more than
everybody else. He says he intended
statement No. 1 to be just what it
claims to be, a plank making possible
the election of a Democrat if tho Re
publican voters fail to accept their
minority-plurality nominated candi
date for the United States senate.
Are not tho voters of the Republican
party tired of this Fopulistic twaddle?
Mr. U'Ren wrote the direct primary
law, and not five per cent of the people
who voted for it ever read it before
they found themselves "up against it"
In its practical working. They now
wish they had read It, but that is
neither hore nor there. They didn't,
and that is all there is about It.
Features of the law which are man
datory have to bo regarded by the
voters, so long as the law continues In
elYect. Those features which are only
reoommendatory, and which grow in
unpopularity as the dangers to which
they lead the people becomo more evi
dent, can be avoided, and thero is
little doubt they will be. Salem

Big Electric Light Company to Take
Over Plants in Dallas, Independ
ence and Monmouth.
Tuesday's Telegram contains the
following item : "Manager A. Welch,
of the Willamette Valley Company,
has returned from a trip to Eugene
and points on the west side of the
Willamette River, to announce that
the company has just closed nego
tiations for the taking over of the
Independence, Monmouth and Dallas
electric light plants, and all will' be
consolidated into the one system,
which is being formed of the various
plants throughout the Valley.
"Each of the plants is of about 100
horsepower capacity, but they will be
merged into one station, probably at
Dallas, which will be enlarged and
improved to a maximum capacity of
over 500 horsepower. The Independ
ence and Monmouth plants are the
property of D. Calbreath, and that at
Dallas was purchased from Thomp
son Bros. The consideration is with
held."
The above item has been confirmed
by Manager Thompson, of the Dallas
plant, so far as the sale of his plant is
concerned. He says the Willamette
Valley Company has secured a
option on the Dallas plant until June
1, paying $1000 therefor. He says he
understands it is the intention of the
company to establish a central power
plant here and furnish a light service
and a day power service for all three
towns, and further to enlarge and im
prove the system so as to give the
very best service possible.

KILLED WHILE HUNTING
Gun Explodes in the Hands of Plato
McFee, Killing Him Almost
Instantly.
Plato McFee, a farmer living in the
Pioneer settlement west of Dallas,
was killed by the explosion of a shot
gun Tuesday afternoon, tie was
hunting squirrels in the woods near
his home when the accident occurred,
When he failed to return home for
supper, the family became alarmed
and notified the neighbors, who Joined
in a search for him. They soon found
the dead body at the foot of an oak
tree ab Mit a quarter of a mile from
the house. Scattered around him were
fragmeuts of the shotgun, which had
evidently exploded in his hands. A
steel sliver from the breech1 had pene
trated his neck and severed the left
carotid artery, causing him to bleed
to death.
O. N. Harrington, a neighbor, heard
a shot in the afternoon, followed by a
cry, but thought little about it, as
many hunters frequent the woods near
his houe, and are often heard shout
ing to each other. The gun which
caused the accident was of ancient
pattern, evidently an old army rifle
bored out and transformed into a shot
gun, lue position of the body, when
found, showed that the unfortunate
man had struggled violently after
being wounded. Both hands were
covered with blood, indicating that he
had pressed them to his neck in an
effort to stop the How of blood. Coroner
Chapman went out to the farm Wed
nesday morning and prepared the
body for burial.
Mr. McFee was a native of Ohio,
and came to Oregon from Iowa about
8 years ago. He was 4G years of
age, and left a wife and two children,
sou and a daughter. His aged
father, who is in feeble health lived
with him. Mr. McFee was an honest,
hard-working man, and his tragic
death has cast a gloom ovei the com
munity in which he had lived so long.
His funeral was held in the M. E.
Church In Dallas yesterday morning,
nd the remains were given burial in
the Odd Fellows' cemetery.
