in Portland
As to conditions in Turkey, Elder
Daniels said every person in that
country with whom he talked while

Planned By Sultan.
"In the Armenian massacres of
five or six years ago, Seventh-Day
Adventists were murdered with otn
er Christians. The Mohammedan re
lip-ion is the state religion.the Sul
tan like the Czar of Russia, being the
head both of the state and the church.
All the massacres of Christians in
Armenia and Turkey were planned
by the Sultan himself, and carried
out with his knowledge and approval
tha Vniinc Turk nartv suc-
eeeded in imprisoning the Sultan
and taking the government, relig
ions liberty has been proclaimed.

INQ ALFONSO XIII. of Spain is again In trouble. The most serious
revolts that he has had to face recently broke out In various parts
of his kingdom, and martial taw was declared in several towns. The
king himself took charge of the military operations and ordered his
officers to suppress the rioters even if they had to destroy a few towns. King
Alfonso has had tittle real peace since he was born. His father died six
months before his birth, so he came into the world a king, and he has "ruled"
ever since May 17, 1886, when he flrst saw the light He was still a boy
when his nation was engaged In war with the United States, which cost Spain
Its colonial possessions In two hemispheres. This disastrous war for a time
threatened to terminate the reign of Alfonso. In recent years Alfonso has
Increased his popularity by his democratic ways and by his devotion to his
wife, the beautiful Princess Victoria Eugenie, a cousin of King George V. of
England, and their two sons and one daughter. King Alfonso has never
been strong physically, and be has devoted much of his time to outdoor life
because of his health.

SURE OF SUCCESS.
Magazine Number to Embrace Wide
Range of Subjects; Will Treat of
Polk's Industries in Comprehen

After only a few days of active
soliciting for business for the Prog
ress Edition, the Observer is able
to announc that the success or the
big issue is assured.
The business interests appreciate
the fact that a high class illustrated
magazine number such as this, with
a complete circulation in Polk county
offers an exceptionally valuable me
dium of local publicity and this, to
gether with the advantages that are
bound to accrue to the city and
countv as a whole from the thous
ands of copies that will be mailed to
parties outside of the state, enables
the citizens who patronize the Lsne
to "kill two birds with one stone '
as it were.
The Observer is p'edsred to make
this Progress Edition one that will
be in every sense a credit to Dallas
and Polk county, as well as to ourselves.

Extra Train Takes Admirers to Sa

President Taft visited Salem yes
terday forenoon and admirers to the
number of nearly a hundred went
from Dallas to see him there. The
regular train ver the Salem, Falls
City & Western was not sufficient
to accommodate all who wished to
eo from here, and a special train was
put on for the benefit of the sight
seers. .Manv others went over Dy
automobile, and Falls City and Black
Rock were well represented also.
Rapid Progress Being Made In Con
struction of $15,000 Home of Lo
cal Company of Militia.
Ere long the people of Dallas will
awake to find that they are in pos
session of a new and up-to-date $15,
000 armory all ready for occupai.cy,
Holmes & Grant, the contracting
firm who have charge of the work,
have already made fast time, and
the supposedly frowning brick walls
are already up to the second story
and still rising. It is thought that
the roof will be on within another
week, and it is hoped that the build
ing may be in shape for use by No
vember 20.
It will be on of the most preten
tious structures in the city. In size
it is to be 100 by 100 feet. An as
sembly or drill room for the militia
is to be provided which is to be CO
by 90 feet. In addition a large num
ber of smaller rooms for various
necessary purposes will be , located
on the first and second stories. Three
hundred thousand brick and ten car
loads of gravel have been required
in the construction.
Two Dallas mothers are worrying
and grieving for sons who have left
home to see the world and have neg
lected to send back word that they
are all right. The latest disappear
ance was that of Howard Day, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Day, who has
been gone since last Sunday after
noon. Search has been made for him
in Portland and Salem by his broth
er, I'.arl, but without results, if rom
til tenor of his inquiries made some
,eeks before his departure it is
thought that he is on his way to visit
an aunt in Los Angeles, California.
Although he is but 17 years old, ho
is six feet in height and is able to
take care of himself, but that does
not lessen the mother's anxiety.
Another Absentee.
No trace has been found of Alfred
Fuller, who has been away from his
home here since August 1"). He is
the son of Mrs. Clara Fuller and is
but 13 years old. The police of Port
land and other places have beeen no
tified to be on the lookout for him,
but all to no purpose. He left here
to pick hops in a yard three miles
south of Salem in Marion county,
and when leaving there said he was
on his way to the coast. Mrs. Ful
ler is naturally much alarmed over
his continued absence, and will glad
ly welcome news concerning him.

When Captain Walter L. Tooze
was preparing to move his law office
from the Wilson building to the new
Dallas National Bank building a few
days ago, he found stowed away 'in
an unfrequented corner of a desk,
a small relic in the shajw of a copy
of the constitution and by-laws of
"Terror Engine Company No. 1" of
the old volunteer tire department
which guarded the city 28 years ago.
The constitution, it is shown, was
adopted June 15, 1883, and the lit
tle booklet was printed by Glass &
Prudhomme in Dallas in 1885.
A glance at the membership roll
will reveal many familiar names and
recall many interesting things in the
life of the city when it was young.
Of the officers, all are living and with
two exceptions, are resident of Dal
