DALLAS.OREGON, August 16, 1907.
The way to build up Dallas is to pat-
ronizt Dallas people.
To see a woman fondling and kiss
ins? a dirty litttie poodle dog is bad
enough, but the sight of a full-grown
female gadding up the street with a
Teddy bear hugged to her bosom is
about the limit. Fortunately, Dallas
has no such.
The grain harvest will soon be com
pleted in Polk county, and attentiou
will then be turned to the hop yards
and prune orchards. With a good
yield of all kinds of agricultural and
horticultural products, the farmers of
western Oregon will see a continua
tion of prosperous times this Fall.
Residents of Dallas who have long
wished for better streets, are in a fair
way to see their fondest hopes realized.
The council is in earnest on the rock
crusher proposition this time, and is
proceeding in a business-like way to
carry out the wishes of the voters for
improved streets, as expressed in no
uncertain terms at the last city election.
EVENTFUL LIFE ENDED
Robert Glaze, a Former Polk
County Boy, Dies in California.
Attention is called to the advertise
ment of the Falls' City Hospital,
printed elsewhere in this paper. The
hospital is now open for patients, and
is receiving a good patronage from
the people of western Polk county.
The equipment is complete, and the
building is a credit to the town in
which it is located. Doctors Pfand
hoefer and Wolfe have a hospital of
which any community might feel
proud, and are deserving of much
success for their enterprise.
MRS. SARAH SYRON DEAD
Passes Away in Salem After Long
Illness, Aged 57 Years.
Mrs. Sarah E. Syron, wife of Daniel
Syron, died in the hospital for the
insane at Salem, Oregon, Tuesday,
August 13, after a long illness. The
body was brought to Dallas, Tuesday

afternoon, the Eev. D. M. Metzger
conducting the funeral services.
Mrs. Syron was born in Iowa, April
2, 1850. She came to Oregon in 1864,
and had lived in the Willamette Val
ley continuously since that time, with
the exception of a few years spent in
the Uuipqua Valley. A few months
ago her mind became enfeebled by
disease and she was committed to the
asylum. She is survived by her aged
husband ; three sons, Charles, Mai ion
and Frank Syron, and one daughter,
Delia Syron, all of Dallas.
Mrs. Syron was a good woman, and
was well liked by her neighbors. Her
interest was centered in her home life,
where she lived happily with her hus
band and children until stricken by
her incurable malady. Her death
win oe sincerely mourned by many
friends.

Miss May Ruddick and Mr. A,
Bonham were married at the home of
the bride's parents in Dallas, Wed

where he is the principal of the high
school.
Ready For Business.
E. A. Hamilton, manager of the
Townsend creamery, which is being
installed in Dallas, announces that
he will be ready to receive cream
either today or tomorrow. The most
of the machinery has arrived and is
being set up, but the work has been
'somewhat hampered by a delay in the
shipment of parts of the churn. The
entire plant will be runjoy electricity.
jvir. Hamilton considers this power
much rfeater and cleaner than steam
or gasoline, since it occupies less
space and less grease 13 necessary.

Robert Glaze, a former resident of
Polk county and n son of the late Reu
ben Glaze, died in the state prison hos
pltal atSan Quentin, California, a few
days ago, after an illness of several
months duration. The body was
turned over to his sister, Mrs. Cora
Chamberlain, of Aberdeen, Wash
and was buried at San Rafael.
Although a comparatively youn
man, Robert had led an eventful life,
a life in which there was much of
tracredv and sorrow. While a mere
boy, he went from Dallas to Tacoma
Wash., aDd secured employment
the Hotel Fife, then the leading hotel
of that city. A few years later he went
to New Zealand, where ho became
manager of a large hotel in the city of
Auckland. He remained In that coun
try several years and then returned to
San Francisco to become chief clerk
of the Baldwin hotel. Later, in part
nership with a San Francisco man
he leased that well-known hos
telry and conducted it with great sue
cess for several years. One fatal day
he became involved in a quarrel with
his partner, and in the heat of the
row, drew a pistol and shot him dead
He was arrested, and, after a long
trial, in which it was proved that there
were many mitigating circumstances
n hi3 favor, he was sentenced to life
imf risonment He was confined in
the penitentiary at San Quentin,
where he proved a model prisoner,
being well liked by the officers and
the inmates of that institution. He
was a member or tne uatnonc cnurcn.
Robert was a young man of fine
social qualities, and is kindly reraem
bered by the friends of his boyhood
days. The family of which he was a
member, and which was prominent in
the pioneer days of Polk county, has
only two surviving members Mat
thew Glaze, of Buell, and Mrs. Cora
Chamberlain, of Aberdeen, Wash.

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed
With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month
