SANTA HAS BUSY DAY Fills Rush Order For Good Will In Churches and Schools of Dallas. Entered as second-clats matter March 1, 1307. at the post otlice at OhIIhs, Oregon, under the Act ol Coufrreas 01 March 3, 1879. DALLAS, OREGON, December! lSKfc The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronise Dallas people. The Observer wishes merry Christmas. its readers a The December issue of The Courier, published by the students of the Moo mouth State Xorrual School, breathes the true college spirit anJ is highly creditable to the students who con tributed to the work of its preparation. The city of Salem is after mountain water and intends to have it. A wise move and one that should have been made long ago. Practically all of the cities up and dowo the length of the Willamette Valley are so situated that pure mountain water can be secured at a very nominal cost and there is no good reason why any of them should be without it. No body of public officers can carry on an extensive improvement project without meeting with much adverse aud frequently, unjust criticism and the City Council of Dallas is no exception to the rule. Much of this adverse criticism is founded upon unfamiliarity with the real facts. Every story has two sides and if both sides of the story are told and listened to the adherents of both may be lead to alter materially the views that have been held before. To those who have been inclined to oppose the City Council In its recent work of street improvement (and they are fortunately few) the figures and facts on the sub ject submitted by Mayor Muir and published elsewhere in this issue, will be of intorest and may perhaps be productive of u more charitable con sideration of the subject than hereto fore accorded. In the effort which is to bo made at the next session of the Legislature to secure the passago of a law to place a bounty on the scalps of cougars, wild cats and other "varmints," the stock miser.-) of Oregon and the sportsmen should meet on common grouud. Within the past few years the damage to herds of sheep and cattle in this state, from the inroads of wild iinimals has bocn enormous, while the deple tion of the gamo supply, due to the same caune,eiin scarcely be estimated. Oregon's line gamo is being dimin ished with such rapidity thut the dif ference can bo readily detected from yeurtoyear. A part of this may bo duo to unlawful hunting it is true, but the major part of the slaughter is due to the increasing number of beasts of prey, (loth the stockraisers in the timbered districts where these crea tures abound, and the huntsmen throughout the state aro now prepar ing to institute an unrelenting war faro upon tho do.-itruetivo beasts anil It is to be hoped that their efforts will be successful. Postal clerks and storekeepers driven all day under the pressure of the "eleventh hour" Christmas busi ness may have had something to say about the rush, but the person who really bad the best license to complain (but he never said a word) was Santa Claus, the patron Baintof thehustling, bustling season of good will to meu. The reverend saint must have been absolutely tireless and possessed of at : least a triple personality, for nothing else can adequately explain the almost miraculons feats which he p -rformed in his annual mission of dispensing Christmas cheer throughout the letgth I and breadth of the world. In Dallas alone, he is on record as having made at least three simultaneous appear ances in widely separated places, while rumors are afloat of several other appearances in private homes. If his record in other cities was sus tained proportionately, he is either the ! mnflf finf i i'ij mrjrin ahr i:irl ur thij auu- sod, or else there may be some found ation to the oft recurring doubts of j childhood as to whether he is real or a ! brother creature to the fable i sea ser- pent. The ministrations of the gentle saint began Thursday afternoon in the public school rooms even before the "eleventh hour" shoppers had fairly started their raid upon the long suffering merchants of the city. The work at the schools was, however, delegated to the teachers, the saint apparently reserving his best energies for the supreme effort in the evening. Short Christmas programs were given by the pupils of the various grades and the exercises were closed with a wholesale distribution of candies, n uts and other Christmas dainties to all. I In the evening the tour of the ; Churches of the city was begun and there was where the jolly saint who presides over the holiday began to show up In his best form. At the Methodist church he appeared in the leading role in a beautiful little Christmas cantata, "Santa Claus' Cure," given by the members of the Sunday School. After its close, the big fir trees that flanked the stage were stripped of their load of Christmas fruit and the evening ended in the joyous distribution of gifts. Unable in his rush, to stop at the Evungelical church, ho left a well laden tree with his best regards and after an appropriate program, certain of his deputies attended to the gather ing of the burden of gifts from the laden branches. At the Presbyterian Church lie came down the chimney of a specially pre pared log cabin in a truly dramatic manner and rewarded the ones who had given the program with an abun- ! dance of gifts taken from two well-! filled ladders that had been used in the decoration scheme. His work at the Baptist Church was Riven into the hands of d.-putied as at tho Evangelical Church, while the overworked saint sped on to till other rush ord'is for the peace and good will he was dispensing. Here a ahoit program was given by the children of tho Sunday School and nuts and candies were distributed. A series of beautiful tuheleaux re presenting scenes from the life of Christ, interspersed with appropriate and beautiful musical selections, con stituted the program at the Christian church and at its close Santa appeared a little out of breath perhaps, but still ready to superintend the giving of the OUR SALE IS NO BLUFF If you will come and get our prices you will be convinced that we are selling at cost and below.
