JAMES WITHROW is DEAD
Typhoid Fever Claims as a Victim
One of Polk COunty's Best
Citizens.

James A. Withrow, one of Polk
county's best known citizens, died at
his home near Airlie on Friday,
October 12, after a short illness of
typhoid fever. He was a son of one
Of Oregon's prominent pioneer
families, and was Al years old at the
time of his death.
The news of Mr. Withrow's death
was a sad shock to his friends in all
parts Of the county, and has cast a
deep gloom over the community in
which he resided for 50 many years.
He was an enterprising, progressive
farmer, and took a keen interest in
the upbuilding of all worthy institu-
tions in his neighborhood. A man Of
strict integrity and high moral worth,
he enjoyed the confidence and esteem
of all his neighbors. He was staunch
Republican and took a lively interest
in politics, although never asking
nor holding any public Office.
The funeral was held on Sunday
afternoon, Rev. Goode, pastor of the
Evangelical church at Independence,
officiating. The services at the grave
in the I. 0. 0. f. cemetery were con-
Quoted by Airlie Camp, Woodmen of
the World, of which camp deceased
had long been a member.
Mr. Withrow left wife and two
children to mourn their loss.

Grandma Lucas Injured.

While working in her flower garden
Monday, Mrs. Elizabeth Lucas, of
Monmouth, slipped and fell on the
wet sidewalk and sustained fracture
of her left leg near the hip. 1t was
decided to send her to Portland for
treatment and she was accordingly
taken to the city in the afternoon. On
the same train to Portland was Mrs.
Lucas brother, H. w. Murphy, who
was being taken to the hospital for
treatmentfors stomach trouble. Neither
knew that the other was enroute to
the hospital until their cots were
placed beside each other on the train.

Orchestra Dance POSTPONED.

The dancing party to have been
given by the orchestra in the Wood
man Hall tonight has been postponed
until tomorrow Saturday night, on
account of the unavoidable absence Of
some of the members of the orchestra.
This will be the first dance of the
season, and the young people are
looking forward to the event with de-
lightful anticipation. A seven piece
orchestra will furnish the latest
popular music, and the floor will be
in fine condition. Dancing will com
mence promptly at 80 o'clock. A
good attendance is expected from
Falls City, Rickreall, and other near
by towns.

A bill will be presented for the con-
sideration of the next legislature pro-
viding for the office of State Auditor.
1t is claimed by Representative Virgil
Carter, of Benton county, who will
introduce the bill, that it would do
away with the legislative investigating
committees appointed at each session
to Investigate the books of the
different state officers and institu-
tions. Brownsville Times.
By all means let the proposed office
be created. There are not half enough
Offices to go around now. And after
while the Legislature can appoint
another investigating committee to
investigate the State Auditor, That
will furnish soft snaps for a few more
old political buzzards.

The Journal thinks an electric line
or a steam railroad between Dallas
and Salem would bring an immense
volume of trade to the Capitol City.
Doubtless true. 1t was probably
anticipation of a portion of this rich
trade that prompted one of Salem's
wealthiest merchants to offer a dona-
ton of SIS in cash toward the building
Of such road when subsidy was
asked few years ago. The Polk
County trade looks good to Salem-and
Salem business men are always will
ing to share in anything good, pro-
vided that it doesn't cost them any
thing.

Buys Fine Bird.

G. L. Shaw has received from the
East one of the finest Brown Leghorn
cocks ever bred in the United States.
This bird won first prize at the great
Chicago show in 1904, and again won
first prize at the st. Louis Exposition,
where 299 Brown Leghorns we're ex-
hibited from all parts of the country.
He was sold in st. Louis for over
500. His present owner has been
breeding this same line OF blood for
several years and owns some fine hens
and pullets from which he expects
grand results next year.

JOHN HUBER DISAPPEARS
Polk County Man Has Been Missing
From His Home Since Satur=
day Morning.

The sudden disappearance Of John
Huber from his home at the Gilbert &
Patterson hop yard, near Salem, has
caused something Of a sensation in
that community. Huber left home
Saturday morning and went to Salem,
where he remained until Sunday
morning. Since that time his family
and friends have been unable to OBJ
tain any trace of him. 1t is reported
that he told several persons in Salem
he was gofng to work on the electric
road being built northward from that
city, while to others he said he was
going to chop wood near Silverton.
So far, all efforts to locate him have
failed. 1t is not believed that he met
with foul play, as he had no money
with him when he left home. The
missing man was for many years a
renter on the Daily farm at Bridge
port and is we'll known in Dallas.

MONEY FOR DALLAS COLLEGE
General Conference Comes to Finan-
CiaI Aid of School With Many
Thousands.

DR.. G. A. Mock, president of Dallas
College, informs the OBSERVER that
the General Conference of the United
Evangelical Church has at last come
to the financial aid of the school, and
that the endowment fund has been in
creased many times over by this
action. While definite figures have
not been received, it is known tnat a
sum amounting to many thousands
OF dollars has been pledged, and that
the money will become available at
once. The success of the college, if
ever in doubt, is now assured, as the
trustees will be able to add other
competent instructors to the faculty
and make Improvements which have
heretofore been out OF reach on ac-
count of scarcity Of funds.
The attendance at the college is
steadily increasing, and the number
of pupils bids fair to greatly out
number the attendance of last year.
More students are enrolled in the
higher courses than ever before, and
it is known that many more will enter
the school between now and the holi-
days.
The first attraction of the Lyceum
course, appearing under the auspices
of the college, will be the Lulu Tyler
Gates Company. This company will
give high-class musical entertain
ment on the evening of November II.
Tickets for the entire course of enter
tainments are now on sale.

DR.. H. B. Stanley came here Tues
day to stay until the first of the new

a vacation and intended to occupy
his time in scientific work for the De-

train near Little Rock, Arkansas,
Monday morning. Jones was a
unique figure in the religious world,
and while he had a style peculiarly

polished and refined speaker, he was
always able to attract large crowds
and there is no doubt but that he
accomplished much good by his

By Cable to Tho Daily Gateway.

Washington, D. c, Nov. 5-lt IS common talk in administration circles that Japan is spelling for fight with the United States and is trying to use the shooting of poacherS by the Ameri- can guards at the seal islands and tn exclusion of Japanese students from the San Francisco public schools as preteX,s.
 A member of the senate committee on foreign relations says he believes war with Japan is inevitable within a few years. He said it has been known that the Japanese lost their love for the United States at the time of the consummation of the Portsmouth treaty which concluded the Russo Japanese war. The Japanese people believe the United States forced upon the Japanese representatives terms of peace which were unjustifably iavora- ble to Russia.

py cenle So Tno DalIy aatoway.

Seattle, Nov. 5-LaSt night 200 men, women and children slept on the floor of the union station, which was opened for that purpose, because they were unable to find rooms at lodging houses, which were packed to their capacity all over the city. In the depotS the people slept in blankets on the floor, or in the seats and chairs of the wait ingrooms.
 Late steamers from the north have brought a tremendous influx of people from Nome and all other towns of Alaska. Most of these are still in the city, and the drift of men from the harvest fields has aided in filling the cheaper lodging houses. Besides these special and temporary sources of new population the immigration from the east of all classes has exceeded ail pre- vious records for several months and has kept all vacant rooms in the city filled constantly.

CHAMBER ADDS ID MEMBERSHIP
Meeting to ReOrganize AwakenS Interest and New By-LawS
 Proposed.

The chamber of commerce decided Tuesday to reorganize to the extent of altering it's bylaws to meet Sugges- tions made in the discussion, and for that purpose appointed a committee of three to present a draft of revised by laws at another meeting next Monday evening. E. C. Richards, s. O. Mor- ford and Dr. Sleem compose the re- vision committee. It was agreed generally that the $5 initiation fee should be abolished leaving the cost of membership simply the $l a month regular due, and the membership fee will undoubtedly be dropped from the revised bylaws.
 Pursuant to the anticipated change 1 the rules were suspended last night and about a dozen new members were taken in without payment of member, ship fee.
 The meeting was held in the Arctic ] Brotherhood room and there was a fair attendance of business men not ! wilhsiaudng the election returns and bowling game kept a good many away. In the discussion everybody agreed up, the importance of having an active commercial organization which will engage in constant efforts to advertise and build up the town. To that end the new bylaws are expected to pro- vide for frequent regular meetings of the entire membership.

 The annual stockholders meeting will be held this week and it is known that Hartman has secured control of a majority of the stock.
