NEW BUSINESS BLOCK
E. c. Kirkpatrick VIII Erect Fine
Brick Building on Main Street.

E. G. Kirkpatrick has decided to
build a modern brick business build
ing on his lot north Of Knox &
Murrells meat market, and the work
of construction will begin at once.
The building will have a frontage Of
so feet on Main street, and will be
so feet long Mr. Kirkpatrick's first
plan contemplated the construction of
a one-story building, but he may de-
eide to build two stories. The build
ing will have a beautiful front, Of
cream pressed brick, with large plate
glass show windows. There will be
two store rooms-one % feet wide, and
the other 10 feet wide. The Chinese
laundry and the small office building
now on the ground will be moved to
some other location.
The larger room in the new build
ing will be occupied by r. jacobson &
Company, who have signed contract
to lease the entire building for
period of three years. Mr.. jacobson
will supply the shelving, counters and
store fixtures, and says it is his in
tention to fit up the finest clothing
store in the Willamette Valley. The
smaller room will probably be rented
to Guy Brothers, the Mill street hard
ware dealers.
The firm of Jacobson & Company
established branch house in Dallas
last Fall, and have been conducting
their business in a room in the Uglow
building on Mill street A few days
ago Mr.. Uglow decided to open a
clothing store Of his own in the build
ing, and his tenants were obliged to |
seek another location. No vacant
building could be found, and it looked |
for time as if the firm would be
obliged to close their branch store in
Dallas. Mr.. Jacobson came up from
McMinnville early in the week, and
after looking in vain for a location,
had about given up the search, when
Mr.. Kirkpatrick came forward and
offered to put up building for the
firm. The offer was accepted, and
contract was entered into at once.
Mr.. Jacobson has strong faith in
prosperous future for Dallas, and is
pleased to be able to continue his
business here.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick has set a good ex-
ample for the capitalists of Dallas in
putting part of his money into a
business block, thus i'm
proving the appearance of the town
and helping to hold the business insti-
tutions that are already established
here. The erection of this fine build
ing will encourage other men to in
vest their money in a like manner,
and the result will add greatly to
Dallas growth and prosperity.

MANY PAYING TAXES
Sheriff Ford and Deputy Stats Are
Kept Busy Writing
Receipts.

The Sheriff's office is the liveliest
place in Polk county just at the pres
ent time. Money on the 1903 tax-roll
is pouring in at the rate of many
thousands of dollars daily, and the
office force is kept busy early and late
writing receipts. AS usual, large
number of taxpayers are making
early payments in order to secure the
3 per cent rebate. This rush will con-
tinue until March IS, the date when
the rebate allowance will expire. The
people Of Polk county are becoming
more prompt each year in paying
their taxes, and present conditions in
dicate that the delinquent list this
year will be smaller than ever before.

ELECTRICITY RUNS
AWAY FROM STEAM
New Type of Locomotive Makes
Seventy.fIve Miles an
Hour

SCHENECTADY, NY, Nov. 12.-The
oficial tests of the big electric loco
motive Duilt for the New York Central
by the General Electric company took
place today on the stretch of four miles
or specially prepared track between
this city and Hoffmans.
This locomotive Is the first built of
forty ordered by the New York Central
Tor its New York terminal 1t has had
several preliminary trials, but today
the official tests for speed, drawing ca
pacity and acceleration We're conducted
by the officials Of the railroad In con-
junction with those Of the General
Electric and American Locomotive
companies. Prominent electrical engi-
neers and railroad men from all over
the country were present The elec-
trio locomotive was attached to a train
consisting Of nine heavy Pullman
coaches and the party whirled to the
end or the line at speed of seventy
hve miles an hour. The entire morning
was spent running with from three to
nine cars. Seventy-five miles an hour
was the maximum speed attained.
There is little doubt In the minds of the
officials who witnessed the test that a
speed Of over ninety miles an hour can
be made.
An excellent feature of the tests was
the race with fast mail No. 8, one Of
the Centraps flyers. When No. 8 was
signalled about half a mile away the
current was turned on and by the time
the steam and electric rivals were on
even terms. the electric was running
at a speed of fifty miles an hour. It
easily drew away from the steam train
and for nearly two miles held the lead.

TREE CUTTERS HELD.
Court VIII Pass Upon Legality
of Permits

J. III. Jones and Peter Lee were ar
rested yesterday on complaint of c. J.
lockwood, attorney for the Minneap-
oils park board, on the charge of de-
facing trees.
The men claim they were granted
permission TO trim trees by w. NJ. Ber-
ry, superintendent of the parks, but
there are several members of the park
board who assert that the right to
grant permits is vested in the board
itself and not the superintendent
The issue in the case is to determine
whether written permit issued by the
superintendent is legal.
On a former occasion Jones was con-
victed for defacing trees along park
ways. He claimed verbal permission
from the superintendent, but was con-
victed and the supreme court sustain
ed the lower court and the fine was
paid.
Jones and Lee viii be tried Thurs
day.

DOUGLAS SUCCESS
DUE TO ADVERTISING
Massachusetts Man Tells of
the Methods of the New
Governor

There is no method of advertising
In the world to compare with ample
space in daily newspaper, and the re-
cent elevation of w. L. Douglas, Of
Massachusetts,, to the governorship Of
the state is a shining example of the
truth of this statement" said H. L.
Parmenter, of Athol, Mass, at the Mer-
chants hotel last night. "Mr. Douglas
is one of the greatest advertisers in the
world, and his wonderful success is due
as much to the uses of the advertising
columns of newspapers as to any other
factor.
"Mr. Douglas started not many years
ago with a small shoe shop, making a
few pair of shoes a day, and i'm
mediately started to advertise. Inside
of a year he was making two cases of
shoes each day, and still used the pa
pers. Then he cut down his living ex-
penses, and for the next four years
spent every dollar of his profits in
newspaper advertising.
His factory increased in size every
year. Pictures of Mr. Douglas appeared
in the papers. at so much per inch.
Gradually his name began to be asso-
ciated with shoes and newspaper ad-
vertising, and month after month the
factory grew larger and he was mem
toned as a candidate for mayor in his
native city, Brockton.
Campaign for Mayor
"Then he showed that he still be-
heved In newspaper advertising. He
wanted to be mayor of Brockton, and
every day purchased columns in the
dailies, and had his advertising man
ager write long stories regarding his
7f1an f1x he II IL
peared in the papers still in conjunction
with the shoe business, but also in the
Brockton papers as a candidate for
mayor.
He was elected by great majority
of the votes cast. His administration
was highly successful, and he retired
from the position with an untarnished
name. He was still looking higher, and
last spring entered the lists for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
Before the primaries, his picture
filled the papers all over the state. The
good effects were shown in his nomina-
tion, thousands of men favoring him.
although they had never met him per-
sonally. He was put up against the
Republican nominee, Gov. John l..
Bates, and also was working against
and Massachusetts, is strong Repub-
lican state.
'In the campaign for governor. his
newspaper advertising was used
stronger than ever before. He bought
whole pages and everywhere pro-
claimed the fact that w. L. Douglas
was a candidate for governor.
THE result is now history. He was
elected over Bates by $4,000 votes, and
this in the face of a $4,000 plurality for
Roosevelt. Some people are now men
tioping him as a candidate for the
presidency and you can make up your
mind that If he ever runs for that Of
fee the newspapers VIII receive the
greatest orders for Douglas advertising
that has ever been sent to them. For
he will use them as advertising
mediums in just the same manner that
he has used them TO bring his shoe
before the public, elect himself mayor
of Brockton, capture the Democratic
nomination for governor. and later run
ahead of his party's national candidate
by clean $4,000 votes"
