V P 1 ;
' TG (ByE.F.)
Dallas has reached a critical period
FOlher existence as a community and
mount on the outcome of the present nego
i's at iions 'for hard surface street im-
Robepvemeht much depends. After
7(i(nths, and even years of agitation,
1 question of paving the streets of
on.Rce business district is now squarely
Andeli to the people for settlement. The
so s(is have been submitted and each
air Voperty owner now knows exactly
14, phiat the improvement will cost. The
719s are reasonable, much lower in
ct that was anticipated, and many
I 6-r0jO, heretofore have opposed the plan
lS- now in favor of it. People who
'e in a position to speak authorita
rely, and from experience, declare
n.tere!at the bid offered by the Clark-;
nze Wgnery company, and accepted by the
1)aluncil, is the best bid that could
710-3- been submitted and probably
wer than the city could hope to
hHve in the future. The writer, from
1000; own personal experience knows
Oallaat it is a reasonable bid. He knows
72 because he had to pay $2.65 per
ird for the same sort of paving in a
Ddernraghington city in which he owns
hlofoperty, and this price didn't include
l. Eie grading either. It is the best bid
22 W submitted in any town in the
719t7iuamette valley, as proven by the
istimony of those who have made
0 ' emselves f amilliar with such things.
ne;b City Is Ready.
2 mi It is a fact, also, that the city of
lm Dallas is in better condition right
720w, finanieally to do this work than
ver before. There is at the present
or ime, more than half enough funds in
re" lie city treasury available for such
purposes, to pay for the paving of the
treet intersections and, by the time
he work shall have been completed,
e sjhere will be more than enough to
, ijafandle the expense. The matter of
-jtorm water sewers which has been
Advanced by some as an argument
, fligainst the improvement, should not
' v nfluence anyone who really wants to
'r'lee the city advance. The present
ewers have for several years been
ble to handle the drain from the
rubjstreets, and there is no reason why
Hithey couldnt' do so, after the im
Ial!provement is installed. In the matter
3-tof the water company's mains, this
work will have to be done at the ex
pense of the water company, and will
not cost the city a cent. Therefore, it
roiappears that Dallas will never be in
ddna better condition to undertake this
callimprovenient than at the present
77itime.
Improvement Means Progress.
t st So now we come to the real meat in
r P-the kernel, and one which every loyal
'-Hand progressive citizen of Dallas
should face unflinchingly and understanding-:
the problem of the future
progress of the city. Dallas is now
l'r the onlv citv or town of importance
nl"1 in the Willamette valley that has not
I'.A adonted the hard surface street im-
74 4 provement, and there are many places
pin of half the size in population an '
K f wealth, that have paved streets and
I,,,, ire Pleased with them. A signincani
r,,-i feature in connection with this work
uit( in other cities is that, in every one of
7ii!)tliem. additional work is being con-
templated and is now under way
, t which shows conclusively that the peo
va pie of those communities are satis-
,, tied and srreatlv pieasert wnn me pnn
d ; It is a fact that Dallas cannot hope
cm to Drotrress by the refusal to adopt
r; this modern improvement which every
nneressive City nas unoenaKt-ii
Paved streets will increase the value
of every foot of property in the city
and. should it be undertaken, those
who onnose it now will become its
tvo.t pnthiisiastic boosters in time
Why isn't it possible for the people of
one community to take advantage of
t' - exnerienrc of other cities T Men
of Dallas: It w forget our per-
d animosities and petty pre.indicci
t us all put our shoulder to
! ? heei. Let us rally to the snp-j-
,t the paring plan and M Us
- -t an inipnivcment here and now
' shall give us an impetus that
Irg else will do and. at the Mime
. place Ia!la on an equality with
other citie and town of the

WALTER DAVIDSON HOME AND
CONTENTS BADLY DAMAGED.
Blaze of Unknown Origin Breaks Out
in House When Occupants Are Ab
sent and Gains Great Headway.
Fire of uncertain origin, which was
first discovered about 9 o'clock on
Saturday night, practically destroyed
the dwelling house owned and occu
pied by Walter Davidson and family,
113 Main street, together with its con
tents. No one was at home when the
fire was discovered and, as the entire
interior of the house was blazing be
fore it was noticed, it was found im
possible to save any of its contents.
The origin of the fire is not definite
ly known although it is surmised mat
that it caught from an over-heated
stove, or from a defective flue, as the
main portion of the blaze was con
fined to the room in which the stove
was located and to the roof near the
ehimnev. The fire alarm was sounded
by the whistle at the plant of the Or
egon Power company, although the
city's hre fcell snugiv Hanging in us
nice, new metal tower, never twarged
a single twansr. The fire department
responded promptly and in a very lew
minutes the blaze was extinguished.
It is understood that there was
$000 insurance on the dwelling house
and contents.

that the losing side should give the

MODERN DEPOT FOR
GUTHRIE
FEDERAL TRUST COMPANY TO
ERECT BUILDING.
Office and Station Structure to Use
Bungalow Style and Be Fitted
With Up to Date Conveniences.
Erection of a modern and attract
ive station and office building on their
new townsite of Guthrie southwest of
the citv, is the announced plan of the
Federal Trust company, of Portland,
which recently purchased the Guth
rie Donation Land claim and divided
into small tracts. P. A. Taylor, lo
cal representative, announces that
the company will build a handsome
bungalow station building which will
also contain office rooms for the land
company. The building will be
equipped with a fireplace and made
neat and attractive both inside and
out. There will be a wide porch anil
the grounds will be graded up and
made inviting.
Requests Are Many.
Members of the company were in
Dallas the first of the week and ex
pressed themselves as well pleased
with the outlook. Already numerous
requests have been received by the
company regarding information of
Guthrie Acres, and several sales are
nn under wav. The offer of the
company to give a large hit in the
townwsite of Guthrie free with every
tract purchased in the acreage has
stimulated inquiries to a considerable
decree and it seems probable that the
town of Guthrie will soon assume the
proportions of a bona fide town.

Snyder, in this city on Sunday, was
the first time in more than 12 years

the day pleased many invited callers
by their rendition of vocal selections

OUTLINE OF PROGRAM FOR

DAY SESSION SHOWS
MUCH OF INTEREST.
CHIGAG0 BAND HEADS LIST
Big Organization From Windy City
Has Enviable Reputation; Senator
Burkett of Nebraska Scheduled for
One Feature; Many Other Attract
ive Numbers Are Offered.
As was announced in The Observer
of last Tuesday arrangments have
been completed to hold here what it
it hoped will he the first of many an
nual chautauqnas. Always the first
question asked is what does Chautau
qua mean? The word in the Indian
language means "sack-tied-in-the-middle."
This is the shape of Chau
tauqua Lake, New York, where the
first chautauqua was held. For the
first assembly in Dallas a six-day pro
gram has been secured and it is full
of entertainment, of humor and of
music. Children's games and lectures
take up the morning hours While
the afternoons and evenings are given
to the more popular forms of chau
tauqua work.
Heads the Program.
The big White City band, of Chica
go, with the accompanying Thavin
Grand Opera company, naturally at
tracts first attention. This number
alone will be worth the entire cost of
the chautauqua to the holders of sea
son tickets. This band has had many
notable engagements. It was the offi
cial band for the United States Land
and Exixisition show in Chicago in
1910.
Senator E. J. Burkett, of Nebraska,
who was the youngest member of the
senate at the time of his election, will
come to the chautauqua for one lec
ture. He is brilliant, humorous and
convincing, and chautauqnas who have
heard him say he is without an equal
as a popular lecturer.
Vocalists to be Heard.
The Chicago Male Quartet will give
two concerts on the closing day of
the chautnuqua. This company ranks
foremost among American quartets,
and its work is characterized by the
splendid harmony and volume neces
sary in singing to large audiences.
The Winona ladies of Indiana, are
also sclteduled for one dav. This will
be their second tour to the coast and
manv who heard them on their first
flip will go miles !o hear them again.
One of America 's noted lady lectur
ers, Mrs. Belle Kearney, of the Old
South, will deliver her lecture on
"Old Days in Dixie Land." Miss
Kearney has traveled the world over
and has sjMikei before more large au
diences than any other living woman.
She will be a distinct attraction in
our coming assembly.
The Georgia Jubilee Singers, with
their rich southern melodies, will give
j two concerts.
j Great Violinist Coming.
j Perhaps the sfromrest single solo-
' ; i . e r..,.. on ,.-1... ..-Ml
1SI, out OI llioir i mm nw win o(.
ear during the chautauqua will lie
Sleckelberg, the violinist. Here is a
man you must not miss. His work is
simply siiM'ib. It is doubtful if there
is a better violinist today than this
modest man, although many are bet
ter known. He is a memlier of the
