Meanwhile, new machinery was
being added as rapidly as money
could be earned to pay for it; hand
and foot- power gave way to gasoline
power, the latter to be superseded in
turn by electricity; the press room,
first equipped with two slow "man

tinuous scene of evolution, until today
there stands in our office four of the

This issue of the Observer finds the
active management of the paper again
in the hands of the owner of the plant.
The lease under which J. B. Allgood
and J. D. Collins conducted the busi
ness for a year expired July 1, at
which time the writer once more
assumed full control of the editorial,
business and mechanical departments.

Brownell and Bill U'Ben. These
measures were all fine and high
sounding in theory, but they are full
of fraud and buncombe in practice.
Oregon voters made a mistake when

betterment of human kind.
In taking charge of the Observer
again, I desire to say a word concern
ing the retiring publishers John All-
good and Dean Collins. These two
young men were long among the
faithful assistants in my office, and
when I found it necessary to give up
the work for a few months, I turned
the business over to tbem, feeling con-
the hand of greeting.

Dallas, and these latter, in tboend,
far overbalanced all financial con
siderations in aiding me to reach a
decision to remain with the Observer,
i nrst acquired an Interest la the
Observer seventeen years ago the first
of last March. The paper was then
only tour years old and was Issued as
a small weekly. The office equipment
was limited and aotiquated, and only
the most simple forms of printed mat
ter could be produced with the type
and presses at band. Practically all
of the commercial printing worth
while was being sent to the Portland
houses, and some of It was even find
ing Its way as far East as Chicago
and 8t Louis. Realizing that this
condition of affairs was all wrong, yet
feeling that no appeal could conscien
tiously be made to "home loyalty"
until at least as good printing could
be turned out la Dallas as In the Urge
cities, tne observer began the task of
building up a printing plant that
would be creditable to lu town as well
a to Its owner. The work was slow,
and at time discouraging, for the
field was limited and the only money
available for Improvements was that
earned from tbe operation of the plant.
It might be of Interest to remark that
for the first seven years the entire
plant was boused by a building only
a uttie larger In its dimensions than
tbe outside measurement of our
present newspaper press.
From this humble beginning, tbe
business of tbe paper and Job office
grew slowly, but steadily, each year.
Tbe office records show that la all of
tbe seven toe n years there was a steady
Increase la tbe volume of business

As to the future course of the Obser
ver, there is little that I care to say at
this time. As long as tbe paper
remains under my control it will be
found working for the upbuilding of
every section of Polk County. Any
worn mat it can say to assist any

healthy alga thatlu country press Is
every day becoming more dignified
and Independent I believe Ibkt a
publisher should conduct his basin
they adopted them, and it will be
glad day for our state when they are
wiped off the statute books.
I believe in the principles of the
Republican party, aud favor the eleo'
tion oi tiepuDUcan onicers to carry
those principles into practice. As long
as the Direct Primary law remains i
force, I favor tbe holding of advisory
assemblies similar to the one recently
held in Portland, where Republicans
got together, threw aside all foolish
ness, and nominated a ticket that was
elected from top to bottom. I want to
see the Republicans of Polk County
bury all factional strife and bitter
ness ana come together next year as
one man for the success of the Repub
lican ticket. I am in favor of a mass
convention, to be held In the court
house, tbe public square, the baseball
park, or any other place that will pro
vide plenty of room for the assembled
electors taking care to see that
mourners' bench of sufficient dimen
sions is provided for repentant
brethren who have tired of worship
ing Statement No. 1 and other strange-
gods. In this convention, every
Republican in Polk County would be
entitled to a seat and a voice the
ticket so chosen to be the one on which
all true Republicans would be expected
to unite their support I favor the
honest observance of the ptimary law
ujie it is law, out such a course
would violate neither the letter nor the
spirit of the act, and it would serve to
preserve party organization and thus
lessen the chance of defeat by the
minority parties.
i oeneve mat tue way to build up
Dallas is to patronize Dallas people.
A motto embodying this idea has been
carried at the head of the Observer's
editorial column for the last seven
teen years, and it will remain there.
Dallas, aud, in fact, every town in
Polk County, can hold Its own against
all competition, no matter how many
avenues of travel may be opened to
near-by cities In the years to come.
It is the duty of every citizen to per
sonally support the "trade-at-home"
movement, aud it Is the duty of every
merchant to make it an object to them
to do so. With seller and consumer
working intelligently and harmon
iously together, no fear need be felt
for a continuation of prosperity and
commercial supremacy.
