IMPROVED MACHINERY.
In all the years the Observer has
been under its present management,
it has been the constant aim of the
owner to keep tho paper and the office
equipment up to the needs of the town
We have endeavored at all times to
keep pace with the progress of the
community In which we are located,
and on occasions have even made im
provements which existing business
conditions would not warrant, when
judged strictly from the standpoint of
Immediate profit to the business office
These improvements, however, were
always made for the betterment of our
newspaper or to enable us to produce
a larger and better class of job print
ing, and it is with satisfaction that
we reflect that in every instance the
ultimate results attained fully justified
the Increased investment.
Fourteen j'ears ago, the Observer
newspaper was printed on a press that
produced only 150 papers an hour.
Seven years later, a machine with a
capacity or 500 complete papers an
hour was installed. Last night we
stood in the press room and saw the
papors coming from the press at the
rate of 2000 an hour, each printed as
perfectly as it is possible to print a
paper on any machine known to the
trade at the present day. Such speed
is not necessary in the office at the
present time, save in job printing,
and it is probable that the newspaper
will be printed at the rate of 1500 an
hour, which will require only 40 min
utes' time to turn out the entire edition.
Last night's trial run was made for
tho purpose of demonstrating the
capacity of the new machine. It is
safe to assert that no such speed was
ever attained on any newspaper press
in l'olk county before.
The Observer office is now equipped
in every department for turning out
any line of first-class printing that
may be offered. The job printing de
partment has long been provided with
superior facilities for producing all
grades of commercial and society
printing, and the customers of this
office have been furnished exactly the
same class of work that is produced
by the best printiug houses in the
large cities. Tho claim of "a city
printing offlco in the best country
town in Oregon" has been made good
by duplicating at any time any city
job offered. With tho Improved press
facilities, we will be able to turn out
all kinds of book and poster printing
in addition to the regularlineof work.
It is hardly necessary to say that
we are proud of our well equipped
office. We think there is no better
country printing office in Oregon, and
if there is a more handsomely
furnished office in tho United States
in a town tho size of Dallas, we have
neverseen it. Weinviteourcustomers
and friends to call and see tho new
machinery in operation, assuring
them that they will be welcome to visit
the press room at any timo that suits
their convenience.
Hinshaw-Seward.
Mr. Isaac Hinshaw, of WTheeler
county, and Miss Beatrice Seward, of
Baliston, Tolk county, were married
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. W.
Hinshaw in Dallas, Tuesday, August
21, 1900, at 12 o'clock Rev. C. H. Davis,
pastor of the First Baptist Church
officiating. Only the members of the
family were present The worthy
young people have the be8t wishes of
many friends in their new relation.
Build Sawdust Burners.
Both the Johnson and Willamette
Valley Company sawmills are prepar
ing to put in large burners to care for
the waste sawdust, slabs, and other
refuse. These furnaces will be about
40 feet high and constructed of con
crete and fire-brick. The disposal of
the waste from the mills has been a
serious problem to the owners, as the
electric power station has consumed
only a small portion of the sawdust.
The new furnaces will be completed
in about 30 days.
Ex-Governor Geor denies that there
is any political significance in his
purchase of an interest in tho Peiidlo
tou Tribune. He says the conclusion
of a Portland puperthathe was taking
the step with tho object of boosting
himself for United States Senator
later was far-fetched. Mr. Geerthinks
apolitical aspirant's own newspaper
is a mighty poor booster. A largo
majority of editors who havo tried for
office will bo inclined to agree with
him.
Hon. Ben Jones, tho well-known
lawyer and legislator of Independence,
has all kinds of provocation for
beginning damago suits against a
number of newspapers, whose editors
will persist that ho is the Joues that
is being tried for complicity in tho
Oregon land frauds. Tho real de
fendant is Wiilard J. Joues, a former
member of Multnomah county, and
not the inepressiblo B. F. of Polk and
Lincoln.
Many folk county people a re attend
ing the Street Fair in Tillamook this
week, and it goes without saying that
all of them will enjoy their visit to
the "land of milk and honey."
No hop contracts reported in Oregon
sineo Kirkputikk made that 22-cvnt
offer.
Hood s
Sarsa par ilia is unquestiona
bly the greatest blood and
liver medicine known. It
positively and permanently
cures every humor, from
Pimples to Scrofula. It is
Blood Medicine.
Returns to Portland.
C. N. McArthurhas decided not to
engage in the practice ol law in Baker
City, and will return to Portland,
where a good position awaits him in
the law office of Snow & McCamant,
He had been offered a partnership
in the office of John L. Band, one
of the leading lawyers of Baker City,
and had gone to that place to accept
it, when a more profitable proposition
was made to him by the Portland
firm with whom he read law. Mr.
McArthur will be glad to see his Polk
county friends any time they are in
the city, at his office in the Concord
building.
McAIIister.Repass.
Mr. E. S. McAllister and Mrs. Cora
Repass were married at the latter's
home in Dallas, Monday evening at
7:30 o'clock. Justice Hardy Holraan
pronounced the ceremony that made
them husband and wife. Mr. Mc
Allister has been in the employ of the
Falls City Lumber Company, and his
wife has been a resident of Dallas for
many years, After a brief honey
moon at Newport, they will begin
housekeeping in Cottage Grove.
Make Merry at Newport.
On Monday last, a merry crowd of
Dallas people at Newport went to the
lighthouse to spend the day. The
party was given in honor of August
Risser, bookkeeper for the Dallas firm
of Ellis & Keyt. In the evening a
sailing trip to Yaquina City and re
turn was enjoyed. The outing was
declared a decided success by those
participating. The members of the
party were Misses Joe Martin, Ruth
VanOrsdel, Pauline VanOrsdel, Mabel
Guy, August Risser, Carl Fenton,
Earl Burk, Robbie and Clark Van
Orsdel.
State Fair Campers.
There i3 every indication of fine
weather for Oregon State Fair week,
September 10-15. This kind of weather
means that these camp grounds will
bo crowded and that the late comers
will have to go to the old grounds
northeast of there. Tell your friends
to go early and have their tents in
position. Space cannot be reserved
after Tuesday of Fair week, if that
long. The crowds are going. If you
cannot get there before Tuesday of
Fuir week, have your tent there and
up. It will save you trouble and
annoyance. Remember, that fine
weather means over 1500 tents on this
campground. Come early.
Mrs. Casey Entertains.
Mrs. B. Casey entertained a few
friends at her home Wednesday after
noon in honor of her sisters, Misses
Elizabeth and Rose Parrott, of Rose
burg, who are visiting her. The
afternoon was spent in playing "000"
and Mrs. H. C. Eakin received a prize
for winning the highest number of
games. Mrs. Casey is a delightful
entertainer, and nothing was left un
done to add to the pleasure of her
guests. The house was beautifully
decorated with ferns, roses and sweet
peas. Delicious refreshments were
served. Those present were: Mrs.
I. N. Woods, Mrs. E. C. Kirkpatrick,
Mrs. H. C. Eakin, Mrs. S. C. Miller,
Mrs. B. Casey, Miss Orlene Hutton,
of Portland, Miss Elizabeth Parrott
and Miss Rose Parrott, of Roseburg,

CRUSHED BY HEAVY TIMBER
James Alderman Sustains Severe In.
ternal Injuries by Falling of
Hay Derrick.
James Alderman , aged about 37
years, received a complication of
injuries, internally and otherwise,
through the collapse of a huge hay
stacking derrick on the Donahoe
place, five miles north of Salem, in
Polk county, yesterday afternoon,
which, if they do not prove fatal will
incapacitate him from further physical
exertions for several weeks to come.
He is now receiving treatment, under
the care of Dr. J. N. Smith, at the
Salem hospital.
A crew of men were engaged in
hoisting a hay-stacking derrick on
the Donahoe place, better known as
the old Plumb place, yesterday after
noon. When the three huge timbers,
forty-eight feet long, reached a height
of about sixteen feet the rope broke
and the timbers fell directly upon
Alderman and crushed him to the
ground with their weight. Upon ex
amination it was found that he had
sustained the fracture of several ribs
and other injuries to his back and
internally, the exact nature of which
cannot bedetermined and his condition
is regarded as critical by the attending
physicians.
Mr. Alderman is a single man and
a brother of William A. Alderman,
the carpenter, who resides iu North
Salem. Statesman.
