VOLUME SEVENTEEN.

NO1OA'AN ~ 80 Af-@A ~
With this issue, the Polk COUNTY
OBSERVER enters upon the seven
teenth year of its existence. The
business of the paper was never in
a more prosperous condition than
at present, and the circulation is
making a steady and healthy
growth. More inches of adver-
tising are carried than ever before,
and the job printing department is
kept busy all the time. In return
for This substantial patronage, we
are endeavoring to give the people
of Polk county newsy local paper,
and to this end are putting large
per centage of the profits into i'm
proved machinery and labor-saving
material. The old hand-cylinder
press has given way to an improved
power press, and the result is a
better printed paper and a great
saving of labor. A new dress of
type, recently added to the office,
has enabled US to increase the
amount of reading matter nearly
one-half, and many other changes
for the better have been made.
The growth of Dallas from a
quiet country village to one of the
live and bustling manufacturing
towns of Western Oregon has been
a source of pride and satisfaction
to every loyal citizen, and the
splendid reputation of the town
throughout the Northwest serves
as an incentive to still greater
effort. Dallas has justly earned
the reputation of accomplishing
whatever it undertakes, and no
record of failure blots the pages of
its history. The town has never
taken backward step, and it never
will, if its citizens continue to stand
together as they have stood in the
years that are past. Go where you
will, and you will hear it said that
the reason Dallas has grown and |
prospered is because its people have
worked together. Harmony and
united action have characterized
every important public movement,
and the business men have stood
shoulder to shoulder in helping to
build up the town, Petty spite or
personal jealousy has never been
allowed to creep in and destroy
this unity of action, and those who
have sought to stir up factional
discord have soon found themselves
walking alone.
Nothing of real value is gained
without effort, and the numerous
industries, public improvements,
and other features that make Dallas
the attractive and prosperous town
that it is, represent years of earnest
work, and, in many instances,
personal sacrifice, on the part of
citizens who have labored to bring
about this growth and advance
ment. Money has been freely sub
scribed to induce manufacturing /
concerns to locate their plants here, ,
and no call for funds with which
to provide desirable public i'm ,
provements has ever been made in |
vain. AT times the burden has =
seemed heavy, but it has always G
been borne cheerfully, and those /
who have helped to bear it are /
every day reaping their reward. y
There is a pleasure in living /
among such people and conducting s

great waste; he stated that he saw no reason why such business men as Mir. Zeckendorf and Mr. Stein field could not agree on plan of liquidation of their mutual busi- ness interests if the element of personal hostility was not involved, and went on to say that from the evidence he found no instance where the plaintiff had made an ef- fort to settle the affairs of the con- cern out of court; that the plaintiff had lost confidence in the defend ant as result of the Silver Bell controversy, Judge Davis did not question, but he added that the re- suit of that suit would determine whether plaintiff had been wronged as alleged. He called attention to the fact that the defendant had offered to give bond in larger sum than required of receiver for the faithful performance of his duties as managing partner. All Of this Judge Davis took into consid eration and handed down his de- cision accordingly. The result of this case in court, which was of semi-public nature from the inn portance of the concern to the community, seems to give general satisfaction, as it is generally be lieved that the partners in L. Zeckendorf X Company will eventually reach an amicable set tlement.

 Prospector: Reports received here indicate that the Japs all over Arizona are making preparations to go at once to Japan to join the land forces of that country. They are exceedingly patriotic. A Pres colt dispatch says: There were twelve Japanese passengers on the north bound passenger train today from Phoenix. They are going to San Francisco and will set sail from there to Japan. These .Japs are going to Japan to join the forces of their native country in the war with Russia. All of them are eager to get to the front, and take up arms in defense of their country.
 Prospector. The first installment  of Arizona's exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition will be forwarded to the Missouri city tonight, when a carload of oranges, lemons and grapefruit will be shipped from Phoenix. A little later carload of mineral will be sent from Pres colt and another from Tucson. These cars will reach St. Lonis not later than March 1. Another car will be sent containing the school exhibit and other miscellaneous articles. One feature of the ex- hibit which ought to prove highly educational will be the free distri- button of two thousand copies of Governor Brodie's late report to the Secretary of the Interior. This report embraces all manner of in- formation about Arizona.
 Gazette: Burt Alvord, who with Billy Stiles and eighteen prisoners, escaped from the Tombstone jail nearly two months ago, was landed in jail today, he being captured last night near Naco. He refuses to give out any information what ever, although he denounces his companions Stiles and three Mex jeans, for deserting him. Alvord was shot in the ankle by Ranger Brooks, although the bullet from Sheriff Lewis rife which landed in his thigh, brought him down. Neither of the wounds are serious. The outlaws were first located at Young's ranch west of Naco, and Sheriff Lewis and his deputies left for the scene at once. Stiles, All word and the Mexicans were sitting on the porch when the officers opened fire. Stiles and the Mex jeans ran, and the officers are still chasing them.

community of interest among pan

picked out strategic spots throughout the
city and selected a man to beg In each

that the beggars might not be molested
by the police, a lookout was appointed
for each, and in order that the syndi-
Gates interests might be conserved,
Kempton employed roundsmen to OBJ
serve how faithfully the beggars attend
ed to business, and to collect hourly the
earnings Of each. In case of arrest each
member Of the band was assured OF legal
representation, to be paid for out of the
earnings Of the pool.
The scheme thrived for many months

Yes. Virginia. there Is Santa Claus
He exists as certainly as love and gener-

that they abound and give to your life

dreary would be the world IL there were

get your papa to hire men to watch all

see Santa Claus coming down what
would that prove? Not everybody sees

there is no Santa Claus. The most real
