The custom of holding the Polk County pioneer reunion in connection with the celebration on suchyears as Dallas publicly observes the Fourth of July is one that we believe should be changed. The interest of one holi day naturally detracts from the interest of the other, and as the pio neer reunion has always been held on the first day, it has been the less favored, both in quantity and quality of entertainment and in attendance. The people of the county, especially the farmer folk, often feel that they cannot leave their work for two days in succession at such a busy season of the year, and as the celebration features always offer the greater attraction, it is but natural for them to attend In greater numbers on the second day. By holding the pioneer picnic at an earlier date, say about the first week in June, it would be possible to pre pare a program that would provide entertainment for every hour of the day, and it is certain that many more people would attend. True, such a plan would require a greater expendi ture of money than is required by the present arrangement, but the cheer fulness with which the business men of Dallas have always responded to every appeal for funds for public cele- The Statesman says that the people of Polk County, particularly those of Dallas, will "flock to thecherry fair."

An exchange remarks that "this is certainly a splendid advertisement of Oregon's attractions as a fisherman's para- J l tl tr uise. les; ana it is also a splendid advertisement of Oregon as the home of the arame hos. The serving of a wagon load of gamey and delicious trout to a miscellaneous lot of galoots, probably nine-tenths of whom are too lazy to cast a line into the water for themselves, was little short of criminal. It is the sort of wholesale slaughter that has robbed Oregon of the fish in her streams and tne deer and elk in her hills. It is something to feel ashamed of not to boast about.

Former Dallas Girl Weds. At the home of her parents in this city, Miss Artie Hubbard was united in marriage Wednesday afternoon at j 2 o'clock to Mr. E. B. Stone, of Port land, by Rev. C. P. Coo. Miss Hub bard is well known here, being a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hub bard and has lived here for a number of years. Mr. Stone is manager of the jewelry department of Olds, Wortman & King. They left Wednesday after noon for their home in Portland. After a lengthy correspondence, Deputy County Clerk Fred Toner has received notice from the Bureau of Fisheries in Washington, D. C, that a shipment of Eastern brook trout for the LaCreole river will be sent out some time prior to November 1. The Bureau writes Mr. Toner that he will be advised In advance of the date of shipment, and that full instructions i as to meetinsr the messenger and planting the fish will be sent. This will bo good news to the sports men of Dallas, all or wliom are desirous of seeing the LaCreole restored to its old fame as a trout stream. The Bureau writes that only a sufficient number of fish to serve as brood stock can be sent, and the local fishermen will be expected to take the necessary steps to protect the trout until they have had time to reproduce, Mr. Toner says that It is probable that the shipment will be about equally divided between Ellendale and Can yon ureeks, as it is certain tnat tne young fish will be better protected In these small branches than they would be in the main river. DEATH CLAIMS PIONEER Gold Hubbard Passes at His Home in Eastern Washington. We have all heard of the man who wet his hair, let it freeze, and then broke it off, to keep the barber from getting his quarter; also, of the man who pastured his goat on a deceased relative's grave; also, of the man who gave bis children ten cents apiece to go to bed without their supper, and then stole it from them after they bad gone to sleep.

He says the heavy showers will be of some benefit to the late sown grain in his neighborhood, but fears that a continuation of the rain might do much injury to the hay crop, the greater part of which is now in the Miss Ednelle Collins returned home Friday from Salem, where she has been employed as a teacher in the Eiudergarten department of the State Institution for the Feeble Minded She will spend her two months' vaca tion visiting relatives and friends in Dallas and vicinity. Major T. H. Devoe, U. S. A., of Washington, D. C, was in Dallas, Sunday. He visited the Armory and made a few suggestions concerning possible small changes in the arrange ment which might prove of benefit to Company H. The people of Dallas, by the way, are proud of their militia company. The boys took part in the parade Saturday, and lent greutly to the attractiveness of that feature of the day. They marched well, looked well, and gave the parade the military appearance so desirable on an occa sion of the kind. An Ingenious piece of show window decoration and one somewhat out of the ordinary was placed on display by Craven Brothers in their hardware store last week. It was in the form of a man-of-war, every part of which was represented by some familiar article of the merchandise in which they deal. Two cross-cut saws were bent together to form the keel, above which rose the full deck accouterment of a monitor. Mouse traps served as turrets, with shotgun shells protrud ing in the role of cannon. The other features were worked out with equal ingenuity making a highly attractive and novel display. Word was received In Dallas yester day that Gold Hubbard, an old pioneer of Polk County, died at his borne near Pullman, Washington, Saturday morning. Mr. Hubbard had been 111 for several weeks, and a letter reoelved from his son, Riley, last week brought the sad news to relatives in Oregon that the end was near. No particulars of his last illness have reached Dal las, but it is supposed that death wae the result of a general decline due to old age. Mr. Hubbard was a member of one of Oregon's well-known pioneer fara ilies. Ha resided on a farm near Smithfleld, in this county, for many years, and then moved to Eastern Washington. He is survived by large family. Prizes For Floats.

They will go to Newport, nd then travel by leisurely stages down the beach to North Bend and Marshfleld. They expect to bd cone about ten days, and anticipate a pleasant and healthful outing. To Mr. Finseth belongs the distinction of aving made one of. the quickest trips on record between Coos Bay and the Willamette Valley. A few years ago, hen he was conducting a branch store in North Bond, he left Empire City on a tug boat at 6 o'clock In the evening. The little craft steamed Into laquina Bay at 6 o'olock the next morning. A quick run by gasoline launch was mado to Yaquina City, enabling him to catch the morning train ror oorvallls. He arrived In Dallas at 3 :30 o'clock in the afternoon, the entire trip from Empire City having been made in less than a day. Mr. Finseth says he will not attempt to break any records this trip, . how ever, as he is out solely for rest and recreation.
