Griswold, sales manager for the Falls City Lumber Company, arrived home Wednesday from a month's trip through the Southwestern states in the Interest of his firm. He visited the trade in Colorada, Okla homa and New Mexico, and returned home by way or southern California. Mr. Griswold says, the Southwest is prospering as never before, business in all lines being all that could be de sired. The demand for Oregon lumber is especially strong, and the need greatly exceeds the supply on account of a lack of transportation facilities. Mr. Griswold spent a day In San Francisco on his way home, and was greatly impressed by the development that is being carried o there. Thousands of men and teams are em ployed in clearing away the debris of the burned city, and substantial business buildings are going up on every nana, xne retail Dusiness is largely confined to VanNess avenue, where the merchants are occupying temporary wooden shacks while permanent quarters are being pro' vided for them. The greater portion of the wholesale business .is still carried on across the bay, but the merchants are moving back to the city as rapidly as buildings can be secured. Building operations are greatly hampered by a lack of steel and other building material, the eastern mills being months behind with their orders. While all the country visited is highly prosperous, Mr. Griswold says there is no more promising section in the West than Polk county, and he is glad to be at home again, Knights of the Maccabees.

Illness Hours Was MANY NORMAL STUDENTS Midyear Graduating Class Will Largest In History ol the School. Be The State Normal School at Mon mouth is entering upon one of the greatest years in its history. Many of the students entering have had thorough academic training, and many others have had much ex perience In teaching. They come for work in general and special methods of school management and the pro fessional subjects. Following a long- established custom, the State Normal is confining itself strictly to profes sional work, endeavoring to give teachers the best preparation possible for their work. The midyear graduating class will be the largest in the history of the school, and will represent all sections of the state. Much additional appar atus has been ordered for the work in physics and the sciences, and a large number of new and professional books have been ordered for the library. The executive committee is considering plans for adding some needed im provements to the gymnasium. Have You Seen Him?

STOWE, Doe, hauling of all kinds at rea-onabH The Long Beach, Cal., Daily Tele gram, of October 15th, contains the following notice of the death of a former Dallas man : "Friends and acquaintances of Wm B. Ffennig, the well-known junior member of SutcliCfe & Pfennig, jewelers, were grieved and shocked yesterday to hear of his sudden death, which occurred about 2 :30 yesterday morning at his residence, 49 Chestnut avenue. "Mr. Pfennig was in his usual health Saturday morning. He closed his store about 10 :30 and went home. Shortly after midnight he was taken ill with nausea, and soon after was siezed with a violent vomiting. Mrs. Pfennig sent for the doctor, but before he reached the house he had passed away. "Yesterday morning the physicians held an autopsy on the body, when it developed that death resulted from regurgitation of an artery, which filled an auricle of the heart, and a blood clot formed. "William R. Pfennig was born near LaPorte, Iowa, October 15, 18G9, and moved to Oregon in 1892. In 1897 he was united in marriage to Miss Phoebe Smith, who survives him. In 1903 Mr. Pfennig moved to Long Beach and entered Into partnership with his hrot.her-in-law. Joseph Sutcllffe. He was courteous, jolly and speedily made friends. "Funeral services were held Wed nesday at the late residence, and were conducted by Rev. J. Lewis Smith, of the First Baptist church. The Odd Fellows and Woodmen, of which he was a member, attended and took part in the services. "He leaves, beside a wife, two brothers, Henry and Charles, of Iowa, and two sisters, Mrs. Harry Lucas and Mrs. Jacob Vogt. of Salom, Ore gon." Typhoid Patients Improving. Nodeaths have resulted from typhoid fever in Dallas this year, and the persons afflicted with the disease are all convalescent. In most cases, the fever was in a mild form. It is a fact worthy of note that people drinking city water exclusively have escaped the disease. Charles Towns, a son-in law of Mr. Reed, came here from Port land and was sick when he arrived He has been confined to the house nearly three weeks. Otto Byerly, who is recovering from a mild attack, worked in the harvest fields and hop yards all summer. George Coad, brakeman on the Yamhill division out of Portland, is again able to be out and expects to resume work in short time. Will They Agree? November will have five Thursdays again this year. It had five when Pfin nnvrir was eovernor of Oregon and - j - , Cleveland was president of the United States. That year we had two Thanks givings, the governor contending that the fourth Thursday was the proper one, and so proclaiming, and the president fixing the last Thuisday by proclamation. It was a great thing for some people who are especially fond of turkey. Perhaps Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Chamberlain will be able to agree, this year. Salem Statesman. Beware of Fakers. Beware of fakes. The Salem States man says that a man by the name of Dick Turpln, accompanied by a little boy, was lately going around the city begging. The story told Is a pitiful one of a boy with a broken back who needs medical attention. There is such a boy, but the money collectod In this way will never pay for any medical attention to him, but will go to keep a family of four grown poople and about three children. Those people have been soliciting money in the vallev from Albany to Salem, for the past six months. Judge William Galloway held an adjourned term of Circuit Court in Department No. 2 last Thursday and Friday, and made orders as follows : Seth Riggs vs. Polk County and J. T. Ford, Sheriff, replevin ; W. H. Holmes, Webster Holmes and Oscar Hayter for plff; J. H. McNary for deft.

Dornsifo, the mother of Mrs. Hubbard. Mrs. Dornsife is a sister of Judge J. U Collins, of this place. They came to Oregon with ox teams, In 184C, when Mrs. Dornsife was a little girl about ten years old, ana eettiea in me southern part of this county. She still enjoys good health, and la very cheerful and happy. The guests present were Grandma Hubbard, mother of Mrs. Hubbard; Judge and Mrs. J. L. Collins, Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Dornsife, Mrs. James Boydston, Mr. and Mrs. Cal Hutton, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Griffin, Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon Dornsifo, and the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Hubbard. Mrs. Dornsife received many useful and beautiful presents from the happy guests, as souvenirs of the pleasant occasion and mementoes of their affection for her. The Better Way The tissues of the throat are inflamed and irritated; you cough, and there is more lrnta tion more coughing. You take a cough mixture and it eases the irritation for a while. You take SCOTT'S EMULSION and it cures the cold. That's what is necessary. 1 1 soothes the throat because it reduces the irritation ; cures the cold because it drives out the inflammation builds up the weakened tissues because it nourishes them back to their natural strength. That's how Scott's Emulsion deals with a sore throat, a cough, a cold or bronchitis. The body of Harry Bennett, sup posed to have been killed by the pre mature explosion of a charge of dynamite while working near the Sheridan Lumber Company's dam on Mill Creek, ha3 not been recovered. It was at first believed that the body found in the creek near the scene of the explosion la3t Thursday was that of Bennett, but investigation proved it to be that of his compauioo, William Hill. Hill's body was found In the creek about one-half mile below the point where the explosion occurred, and it is the opinion of the millmen that Bennett was also blown into the water. A careful search of the creek bed 13 being made for the body of the miss ing man. Hill's body, when removed from the stream by Coroner Chapman, was found to be badly bruised and powder burned and his neck was broken. It is supposed that he was stooping over the dynamite charge when the ex plosion occurred, as his left breast, arm and leg were filled with bits of broken rock. The unused fuse and cap lying on the bank where he had been working plainly indicated a premature explosion. Hill and Bennett had been blasting in the creek bed for several weeks and were just finishing their work when the accident occurred. They were last seen alive on Friday mornitg, October 12, when food and supplies were taken to their camp by one of the mill hauds. At this time they were working about six miles above the mill. When the camp tender again visited the camp on the following Thursday he found both men missing and the food taken in on the former trip untouched. An examination of their time-book, found in the cabin, disclosed the fact that the last entry was made ou Thuisday, October 11. From all this evldonce, It is believed that the men mot their death on the afternoon of the 12th. Hill was a Russian Finn, and was about 35 years of age. He was a stranger in Polk County, and had no relatives In Oregon, so far as Is known by his employers. He was an expert powderman, and had worked at blasting for the last 15 years. He was five feet 8 inches tall, welghod 180 pounds, and wore a sandy mustache. Bennett was about 18 years old, and had many relatives in this county. PURCHASES ALBANY PAPER Walter Lyon Will Succeed G. Westgate as Owner and Manager. A. Break Log Jam. The Calapooia Lumber Company succeeded the first of the week in breaking the big log jam just above Crawfordsville and getting several thousand feet Into the pond at the mill. In the meantime, however, the lower flood dam became disabled and the work of "flooding the logs" down is temporarily suspended pending the repairs being made on the dam. With the raise in the river and the dam re paired the company ought to ex perience little trouble in getting plenty of logs to their mill at Crawfords ville. Brownsville Times. Walter Lyon, who recently sold the West Side Enterprise at Independence, is the principal stockholder and manager of a corporation that has purchased from G. A. Westgate and the other owners the entire plant, property, good will, etc., of the Albany Herald. The change In ownership and management will take place November 1st. Mr. Lyon will manage the entire business of tho paper, and owns a controlling interest of the stock in the corporation. The other stockholders are local people, though Edgar Stahl, of Salom, It Is understood, Is Interested In the purchase. John Huber Found. The mystery surrounding another suddondisappearanoe has been cleared away. John Huber, who dropped from human view as far as his family and acquaintances in Salem were con cerned, has been at work. He simply went away to look for a job. It is presumod that he forgot to mention that fact at home. Salem Journal. Legal Blanks for sale at this office. Ik" """" . .. j g . j-!
