PORTLAND MEN COMING
Dallas Is Included in Itinerary for
Journey of Wholesalers Through
Southern Oregon.

All details are now complete for the
Portland business mems excursion
into the Willamette Valley and South
ern Oregon. A special train bearing
rs of the leading merchants and job
bers will leave that city, Tuesday,
November IA, and will visit every
town between Portland and Ashland.
The trip will be of three and one-half
days duration. There will be so stops
on the entire trip and the time is
divided in such manner as to allow
from Is minutes to an hour and half
at the various points.
The itinerary Of the journey through
Polk county is as follows: Friday,
November 17-Independence, arrive
at / so p. m, leave at 2 30 p. m. ;
Monmouth, 2 80, AS; Dallas, 8, 3 :25
1t is probable that the City Council
and the Board Of Trade will cooperate
in planning entertainment for the
visitors during their 25-minute stay
in Dallas, and the OBSERVER hopes to
be able to announce complete particu-
lars in it's next issue.
That the Portland business men are
eager to make the trip is shown by
the large number of applications that
have been received for accommoda-
tions on the special train. The Ore
gonian says; "The business men are
going up the Willamette Valley to
Southern Oregon. They are going to
brush elbows, exchange condolences,
and eat, drink and be merry with
their longtime friends, neighbors
and fellow citizens on the south. Port
land will run no risks OF any mis-
understandings with the remainder
of the state. What is good for Ore
gon is good for Portland, and what is
good for Portland is good for Oregon.
Portland and Oregon are one family,
and it is to make certain that there
may be no family misunderstanding
that the excursion south is to be
undertaken.

Pleasant Surprise for Pastor.

The members of the Presbyterian
church gave a surprise and donation
party to their new pastor, Rev. d. j..
Becker, and his family, Wednesday
evening. A large crowd was present,
and many generous gifts were given.
The affair was a pleasant social sue
cess, and afforded an excellent oppor-
tunity for Rev. and Mrs. Becker and
the people of Dallas to become better
acquainted. Mrs. Becker is talented
elocutionist, and favored her guests
with several choice readings, which
were highly enjoyable. Rev. Becker
is a vocalist of more than ordinary
ability, and his singing added greatly
to the pleasure of the evening. The
new pastor is popular with his congre-
cation, and he and his good wife will
be valuable additions to Dallas
church and social circles

The people Of Dallas were treated to
mellerdrammer Of the good old 10
cent sort by ''The Human Slave"
Company at the City Hall, Wednesday
night-and it was handed out in allo-
pathic doses, too. There was no half
way business about this particular
thriller, every one Of the old tradi-
tions being strictly observed. The
villain smoked his cigarette and
hissed through his clenched teeth
that he would yet have his r-r-r-re-
venge; the hero pronounced his usual
course you, Jim Jimpson, and the
heroine starved in an attic and wept
50 eopiously that the people in the
audience did not know whether to put
on their mackintoshes or send for a
plumber. Nonsense aside, the play
was meritorious in many respects,
and the company presenting it was
superior to most OF the travelling
organizations that visit the interior
towns. A fair-sized audience wit
messed the performance. The COM
pany is billed TO appear at the Empire
Theater in Portland next week.
