ELLIS & KEYT SELL OUT Eight Prominent Business Men In corporate to Open Department Store In Dallas. One of the largest business deals ever consummated In Dallas was made Wednesday, when the Dallas Mercan tile Company purchased the big general merchandise store of Ellis & Keyt. The- sale includes the entire stock of goods, all store fixtures, and the good-will of the business. The store will be closed next Monday morn ing and a large force of clerks will begin invoicing the stock. When the Inventory is completed, the new company will open the doors for busi ness. The Dallas Mercantile Company is an incorporation. It is made up entirely of business men and capital ists, and is conceded to be one of the strongest companies ever organized in the Willamette Valley. The stock holders are: R. E. Williams, Pres ident of the Dallas National Bank; R. C. Craven, President of the Dallas City Bank; D. J. Riley, the retired lumberman and capitalist; E.C. Ktrkpatrick, the well known hop dealer anil one of the heaviest property-owners in Dallas; H. L. Fenton, hop and wool buyer; M. D. Ellis, a former Dallas business man and now a Grants Pass druggist ; M. M. Ellis, one of Dallas' pioneer merchants and bankers, and H. L. Crlder, capitalist The object of the company, as set forth in the articles of incorporation, is to buy, sell, deal in and dispose of all kinds and classes of merchandise, at wholesale or retail; to buy and sell lumber, shingles, posts, building material, firewood, wool, mohair, hides, pelts, hops, hop supplies, and farm produce of all kinds. The capital stock of the company Is placed at $50,000, divided into 500 shares of the par value of $100 each. H. L. Fenton, for many years the leading merchant of Dallas, will have the management of the new store, and will bo assisted by H. L. Crider and M. D. Ellis. Mr. Ellis will retain his drug store in Grants Pass, leaving it in the hands of his son, Frank. He will move his family to Dallas next week. The members of the new company say that their object in engaging in the mercantile business at this time is to increase Dallas' Importance as a trading point by eventually building up one of the largest department stores in the Willamette Valley. They will occupy the present quarters for a few months at least, as the season is too far advanced to give them an oppor tunity to find another location or decide upon the size or style of build ing that would be required for their Increased stock. They will give their first attention to enlarging the stock, leaving the question of building to be decided later on. The members of the corporation are all men of affairs, men who have played a prominent part ia making Dallas the live and prosperous towa that It is, and their united efforts in building up a large and modern mer cantile establishment cannot fail to result in great good by stimulating all lines of commercial activity and In creasing Dallas' Importance as a trade center. THE OLD SW1MMIN' HOLE Small Boys of Dallas Spend Their Time Bathing In LaCreole River. At this season of the year, when the mercury is dolus: Its best to climb up and see how things look from the top of the tube, one strolling along the banks of the LaCreole river, outside the city limits, can hear at all hours of the day the lusty splashing and hilarious shouts of the boyhood ot Dallas, engaged in the sport of swim ming. To one who for years has confined his aquatic exercises to the narrow limits of an enameled bathtub, it is a source of increasing wonder how these lively, sunburned specimens of boyish health and happiness ever "caught on" to the trick of swimming at their age, and to their doting mammas this early exhibition of the natatory instinct is a source of constant uneasiness. Nevertheless, in spite of the opposi tion from the feminine half of the household, boys will be boys. They will go swimming; they will sunburn their backs and go nome whimpering; they will fight with the other boys, and, perhaps pick up a good bit of slang and a few harmless bywords. Yet these things that some so Heart ily denlore will not only make less fre quent such headlines as "Young Man Meets Death by Drowniog," but will also develop a generation of strong iimbed, deep-chested men; of big hearted, self-confident men ; the kind of men that Uncle Sam will need to carry on his business in the strenu ous years to come. Columbus had just landed ; meeting a big Indian chief with a package under his arm, he aaked what it was. "Great medicine. Hollister'a Eocky Mountain T-a," oaid the Injun. 35 centa, Tf-a or Tablets. Belt & Cher-rington. THE WAIL OF A REPORTER. BY 1. DEAN COLLINS. I watch for local items, As along the street they bob, I nail them In my notebook thick, ('TIs thus I hold my job.) But now has come the summer time, And briny weeplets drop, Foron the sultry streets defunct, No local squibs outcrop. While everyone hath hied him hence Unto the briny sea, To bask beside the bounding main, Arrayed in negligee ; To paddle barefoot in the wave, In spite of crabs that bite 'em, I roam the soporific streets To catch the flitting Item. The mercury scoots up the tube, The streets wax hot as Tophet, But still must I stick by my post And curse the weather prophet Yet though such troubles vex me sore, I could be gay despite 'em, If only now and then I might Cop the elusive item. I burn to see the mason drop Kerplunk from off the wall ; I yearn to have a large brick-bat On some pedestrian fall ; Let some one drown, or steal, or dare Somebody out and fight 'em ; I care not what it be, just so It furnishes an item. O, that the winter time were here ; The summer days were o'er; For then my notebook would grow plump With local squibs galore I The f utur? stretches black ahead, I cannot find nor write 'em The frisky, phantom, fugitive, Fugacious local item.
