take this occasion to
thank you for the gen
erous help you have
given us that has en
abled us to Duna our
business to what it is.
On November, 7 1903,
we began the Hardware
business with a total
stock of $2000 occupying
a floor space of 1000
square feet.
In January, 1905, we
added the plumbing and
tinning department to
our hardware business,
and on January 1, 1906,
added another depart
ment, that of furniture,
by the purchase of the
Kerslake stock. This
needing more floor space
we leased the entire
Kirkpatrick building,
which we now occupy
with the addition of a
large warehouse for each
department.
We now have a total
floor space of over 9000
square feet, over 9 times
the space we had in the
beginning. t We now
employ regularly ten
people to look " after this
business; five times as
many as we had in the
beginning, and we are
now doing more "than
ten times the business
we did in 1904, and be
lieve that in 1908 we
will do 15 times as much
as we did in 1904.
You, our customers
have made our increased
stock possible, for which
we thank you, and
promise in the year 1908,
if we have your custom
it will be taken care of
in the same way that it
was in 1907. '
Yours for a more pros

WORK OF GRIM REAPER
Death Claims T. M. Bailey, George
Rowcliffe, J. R. Miller, Robert
Gaynor and Dr. R. C. Hunter
BAILEY At his home, one mile east
ot uauaa, on .Friday, January 24,
1908, Thomas M. Bailey, aged 84
years, 10 months and 24 days.
Mr. Bailey's death was caused bv
the infirmities due to old age, his
health having been gradually failing
for "several years. He was born in
Randolph county, Indiana, April 1,
1823, of Quaker parentage. He married
Miss Lucetta Plummer in Tipton
county, Indiaua, April 23, 1848, and
afterwards moved to Kansas, from
which state he emigrated to Oregon in
1881. He settled in Polk county, and
lived in and around Dallas contin
uously until the time of his death.
He spent much of his time in hunting,
trapping and mining, and his long
life was doubtless due to his daily out
door exercise.
Mr. Bailey made two trips from his
home in Alden, Iowa, to the Rockv
mountains In the early days', the min
ing region around Pike's Peak being
the objective point. The first trip was
made in I860, and the second in 1864,
In those days the woods abounded in
game, and Mr. Bailey's written exper
ienceof his adventures as a hunter
and trapper were afterwards published
in his home papers and formed highly
entertaining reading. He was always
a lover of nature, a man of kindly dis
position, and a quiet, inoffensive citi
zen who enjoyed the respect of all who
knew him.
He is survived by his aged wife, one
son, and five daughters. The children
are: P. P. Bailey, of Washington
county, Oregon ; Mrs. D. T. Mclntire,
of Coldwater. Commanche countv.
Kansas ; Mrs. J. C. Proctor, of Seattle,
Wash. ; Mrs. Jerome Stewart, of
Seattle, Wash. ; Mrs. John Monson
and Mrs. Henry Clifford, of Dallas.
The funeral service was held at
o clock Sunday, in the Adventist
Church, and the body was taken to
the Odd Fellows' cemetery for burial
U. S. Grant. The sorrowing relatives
have the deep sympathy of the com
munity in theirgreat bereavement

HUNTER At his home in Lexington
. Oregon, last week, Dr. R. C. Hunter,
aged about 75 years.
Dr. Hunter was for many years
practising physician at Perrydale,
Polk county, and afterwards moved to
Dallas, where he practiced for about
one year. He was a native oi England,
and served for many years as
surgeon in the British army. He was
a veteran of the Crimean war. He
left a wife and several children, all
grown. His remains were taken to
Portland for burial.
MILLER At his home at 68 East 22d
street. Portland, on Friday morning,
January 24, 1908, Jasper R. Miller, a
native son or roiK. county, agea ai
years and 11 months.
Mr. Miller was a member of one of
the prominent pioneer families of Polk
county, being the only son of Monroe
Miller and the late Virginia Miller.
He was born near Crowley on the 25th
day of February, 1856. His boyhood
was spent in Dallas, where he received
his education in the LaCreole Acad-
emy, now uaiias uoiiege. .Leaving
school, he formed a partnership with
the late Berry Biggs and engaged in
the drug business. He conducted his
business with great success, and In the
late '80s sold his store and moved with
his family to Port Townsend, Wash.
He was soon afterward appointed
Collector of Customs for the United
States and stationed at Vancouver,
B. C, where he acceptably served his
Government for several years.
When the mining excitement broke
out in Nome, Alaska, he joined the
rush of gold-seekers to the Far North,
and it was there that he lost his health
The rigor of the Arctic winter and the
scarcity of wholesome food proved too
great a strain on his constitution, and
he returned home an invalid
Although broken in bodily strength,
his will was as strong as ever, and he
at once set out to regain his health by
securing a position as traveling sales
man for a Portland wholesale firm,
hoping that travel atrd outdoor exer
cise would build him up again. For a
few months the change seemed to bene
fit him, but at last his health began to
fail again and he was finally obliged to
irive ud his work. Hen then remained
in Portland until death relieved him
of his suffering.
The remains were brought to Dallas
on Fridav's evening train, and were
given burial in the Odd Fellows' cem
etery Saturday afternoon. The exer
cises at the grave were brief, but
impressive, and were conducted by the
Rev. A. J. Hunsaker. of McMinnvllle,
a lifelong friend of the deceased and a
relation of the Miller family by mar
riage. The pallbearers were F. J.
Coad, Eugene Hayter, H. L. Crider,
C. a. Coad, William Lyle and Dr.
Mark Hayter, all school mates and boy
hood friends of Mr. Miller.
Jap" Miller, as he was familiarly
known by his friends, was a man of
many kind and loveabTe traits of char-
- a . J
acter. He was irue 10 nis irienas auu
honorable in his business dealings.
His life was clean and blameless, and
his death is sincerely mourned by a
large circle of friends acd acquaint-,
ances. He is survived by his wife,
who was formerly Miss Laura Hall;
an aged father, and one Bister, Mrs.
news of the death of Robert
Gaynor was received in Psllas, Satur
day morning, and cast a deep gloom
over the community in which he had
resided for many years before going
to Heppner to make his home. His
death was caused by inflammation of
the heart, following a severe Illness of
pneumonia.
About two weeks ago, he took
severe cold which soon developed into
pneumonia. He was taken to
hospital in Heppner, where his disease
soon yielded to medical treatment. He
then left the hospital and returned to
his own apartments, thinking that he
wouia do ame 10 resume nis woris in a
few days. He did not regain hoped-
ror strength, however, and had to
return to the hospital, where his con
dition soon became critical. His
mother was summoned from Dallas
and reached his bedside a few hours
before he died. He retained conscious
ness until a fow minutes before the
end, and gave hfs mother minute
instructions as to his wishes concern
ing the disposal of his business affairs.
Death was pronounced by his physi
cians as having resulted from inflam
mation of the heart, his lungs having
entirely healed from the effects of the
attacK of pneumonia.
The remains were prepared for ship
ment to Dallas, and the bereaved
mother started on her sad homeward
journey Saturday morning. She was
met at The Dalles by L. L. Shreve and
in Portland by her son Harry, her
daughter Mrs. Walter Williams, Mrs.
Charles McDevitt, Mrs. Suitor, and
Mayor A. B. Muir. The party reached
Dallas, Sunday morning, and the
body was taken to the Masonic Hall to
await burial.
The funeral was held from the M. E.
Church yesterday afternoon, and was
largely attended by friends of the sor
rowing family. The members of the
local Masonic lodges attended in a
body, and all of the business houses
in the city were closed during the ser
vice. A brief and touching sermon
was preached by the Rev. M. P. Dixon,
pastorof theM. E. Church, and prayer
was offered by the Rev. D. J. Becker,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church. Appropriate music was ren
dered by a selected choir. The floral
offerings were beautiful, elaborate
emblematic tributes having been sent
by the Masonic bodies of Heppner and
Dallas. At the close of the service in
the church, the remains were taken to
the Odd Fellows' cemetery, where they
were buried by the officers and mem
bers of Jennings Lodge, No. 9, A. F.
& A. M., according to" the ancient
usages and customs of that fraternity.
Thomas Robert Gaynor was the
younger son of Mrs. J. C. Gaynor, of
this city.and was born in Clinton Junc
tion, Rock county, Wisconsin, Sep
tember 23, 1869. He lived for many
years in xowa ana uauiornia, ana
then went to Missouri, from which
state he came to Dallas in 1891. He
married Miss Clara Uglow, a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Abel Uglow, May 2,
1900. His wife lived only a few years
after her marriage, dying November
18, 1904. Soon after the death of his
wife, Robert moved to Heppner, Ore
gon, where he formed a copartnership
with Charles Huelat in the rurnisbing
goods business. , He was a member of
Heppner Lodge, No. 69, A. F. & A. M. ;
Heppner Chapter, No. 26, Royal Arch
Masons; Naomi Chapter, No. 22,
O. E. S., and Dallas Camp, No. 209,
Woodmen of the World. "
Robert was a young man of fine
social qualities, and enjoyed the
respect and esteem of all. He was of
a kind and generous disposition, and
was ever ready to assist in caring for
the sick and afflicted and to'aid the
poor. He was an industrious business
man, and managed his affairs suc
cessfully. He will be sadly missed by
his friends and associates, and his
death in the prime of manhood is
deeply mourned.

WINS EASY VICTORY
Dallas College Basketball Team Defeats
Willamette University By
Score of 37 to 4.
More than 60 of the students of
Dallas College, and of the basketball
"fans" of this city appropriated all
of the buggies and carriages that
could be secured and drove over to
Salem, Friday, where they had the
pleasure of watching the home basket
ball team defeat the Willamette Uni
versity five by the decisive score of 37
to 4. "
This victory was expected by the
Dallas people, since the first game,
played in Dallas was won by the
home team, the score being 59 to 11,
but none were prepared to see the
rWillamette aggregation socrushingly
defeated on its own floor. Those who
witnessed the game declare that the
players on the opposing team were so
closely guarded that throughout the
entire 40 minutes of play they did uot
get more than a half dozen shots at
the basket The four points that they
did secure were scored from the foul
line.
Craven starred for Dallas in goal
throwing, securing 11 of the 15 field
baskets ; Shaw threw three and Savery
one. The remaining seven points
were scored by Fenton, from the foul
line.
The members of the opposing team
when they found themselves out
classed in speed, endeavored to carry
the game by sheer force, but soon
found that they were matched against
men who were as far superior to them
in strength and weight, as in speed
and skill.
The majority oi the Dallas "rooters"
returned to their home town the same
night, only a few remaining to drive
back with the basketball team on the
following day.
The line-up was as follows :

MERRY SKATING PARTY
"Jolly Fellows" Entertain Large Num
ber of Guests at Colosseum
Rink.
About 50 couples were entertained
by the "Jolly Fellows" Skating Club
at the Colosseum Rink, Friday night,
with one of the most enjoyable parties
that has ever been given in Dallas,
The rink was lighted with Japanese
lanterns a long chain down the
center of the hall, and single lanterns
at each of the posts along the galleries
and balcony. The light effect pro
duced was most beautiful and striking.
Skating in couples was the order
while the music lasted, and between
each piece the rink was thrown open
to individual skaters. George Brown,
one of the club members, entertained
the gueets with some of his trick
skating and dancing during the
evening.
The party broke up at 11 o'clock
with hearty thanks for the "Jolly
Fellows" who had furnished such a
pleasant evening. These young
men have proven that they know how
to arrange and carry out an ideal party,
and it can easily be predicted they
will be in high favor among the
skaters of this city.
MANY PLANT ORCHARDS
Thousands of Fruit Trees Will Be Set
Out Around Dallas This
Year
The following figures submitted by
Polk County Fruit Inspector J. B.
Nunn, show the remarkable increase
in the fruit raising in the vicinity of
Dallas within the past six months.
Since last Fall, owners of orchard
land near Dallas, have ordered from
Mr. Nunn 10,900 apple trees, 5000
prune, 2500 cherry, 1900 pear and COO
walnut trees. Yesterday he received
a shipment oj 69)0 raspberry plants,
3000 being ordered for O. H. Cobb;
2000 for N. M. Grant and looo for John
Ebbe. About a month ago orders
were also placed by some of the fruit
men of Dallas for 3000 gooseberry
plants.
The fruit industry is growing by
leaps and bounds, and now that a
ready market is promised by the
determination of the citizens of Dallas
and vicinity to build a fruit cannery,
a still greater and more rapid develop
ment may be looked for during the
coming year.
