SEND THIS BOOK EAST
20. R. & N. and S. p. Book Tells
About This Country.

If possible, the Passenger Depart
ment of the Oregon Railroad q Navi-
cation Company and Southern Pacific
Lines in Oregon has surpassed itself
in the 1906 issue of its new publication,
"Oregon, Washington, Idaho and
their resources.
The purpose of the publication is to
attract homeseekers and investors to
the Pacific Northwest and this publ
cation is undoubtedly the best mes
senger that could be sent by residents
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho to
their friends in the East and Middle
West.
Beautiful half tones, printed on
superb book paper, make the publica-
ton, which contains 88 pages and a
map of the section, work of art, but
far superior to the typographical
makeup is the contents of the book.
Under many heads covering practi-
cally all the resources of the states
are short, pithy stories of what has
been accomplished, not what might be
done, but actual facts and figures ac-
companied by names and addresses
of we'll known farmers, who are daily
laying aside an income that would be
fortune to an Eastern Agriculturist.
VIM. McMurray, General Passenger
Agent Of the o. R. & N. Go. and S. P.
Lines in Oregon has favored the
editor with copy of this publication
and informed him that readers OF this
paper by sending the names and
addresses of friends in the East and
four cents in postage for each address,
may have the book promptly mailed
to the address given.

FRUIT PRESERVING PLANT
Dallas Offers Excellent Location For
Industry of This Kind.

Attention is called to the advertise
ment of J. B. Mum, printed elsewhere
in this paper, in which he offers to
rent or lease a building suitable for a
fruit preserving plant. Such plants
are being established in many towns
in Oregon, and the OBSERVER believes
that a business of this kind would
pay we'll in Dallas. A factory pro-
ducing preserves, jellies, jams and
marmalades would provide a market
for a large amount of fruit that
annually goes to waste and would
furnish a steady and profitable in
come to the farmers. The amount OF
capital needed to establish such an
industry would be small, and the re-
turns would be large from the begin
ming. 1t is hoped that some enter
prising citizen will take hold of this
proposition Immediately.

Injured by Wood Saw.

Walter Eastley, the 16-year-old
nephew of William Hayes, met with a
painful accident while working with
Reed & Hayes wood saw Saturday
afternoon. The young man stepped
on stick of wood near the machine
and was thrown to the ground, falling
in such a way that his right foot came
in contact with the rapidly revolving
saw. The foot was badly lacerated
and bruised and two toes were severed.
The unfortunate lad was taken to his
home and DR.. B. H. McCallon was
summoned to dress the wound. Be-
sides the loss Of the two toes, the bones
and flesh of the foot were found to be
badly mangled. While the injuries
were very painful, the young man is
getting along nicely and it is believed
that no permanent lameness will re-
suit.

Guardsmen Visit Dallas.

Sixty members of the First Battery,
Oregon National Guard, four days
out from Portland on a practice
march, arrived In Dallas Monday
evening and camped in the City Park.
The soldiers were tired and dusty from
their 14-mile ride from Salem and
found the cool camping ground very
refreshing. Their horses, the worst
lot of old "skates" that could he
imagined, we're badly jaded, and the
greater part Of the evening was spent
in doctoring two old pelters that had
given out on the road. The members
of the Battery are all young men, and
the greater number of them are resi-
dents of Portland. The march was
resumed early Tuesday morning,
when the guardsmen left for McMinn-

if the recent meeting Of the State

interest in cherry culture in Oregon.
We are confident that the time will
come when cherries will bring millions

will require much study and expert

Fruit inspectors VIII Pour Coal Oil
on All Diseased Fruit Offered
For Sale.

A meeting Of the County Fruit In
spectors of the state was held in Salem
last week to consider the duties of the
inspectors and to discuss ways and
means of uniformly enforcing the
law throughout the state From J. b.
Nupn, the Polk County inspector,
who was in attendance, we learn that
it was decided that no wormy or
diseased fruit will be allowed on the
market. and that merchants will be
warned aginst offering such fruit for
sale. Violators of the law will be held
to strict account.
Mr.. Num- says that, in addition to
fling informations against merchants
violating the law, the inspectors will
pour coal oil over all diseased OF
wormy fruit found in the stores, which
will render it unfit for use and leave
it on the dealers hands to be disposed
Of without expense to the state. The
OBSERVER ventures to predict a fight
when the coal-oiling process begins.

The determination of all questions

legislative action on more intricate
questions of national policy than there

the wishes of the people must be

For the information of the many
friends who have been inQuiring about
my brother, j. B. Himsl, who is can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for county attorney, l wish to state
that he is very sick in the hospital
with typhoid fever and the doctor
says that he will not be able to leave
his bed for another three weeks. He
is therefore unable to make personal
canvass to see the voters and will
have to depend upon his friends to
take care of his interests. 1 hope that
those who will see this will make a
personal effort in his behalf. My
brother has held the Office but one
term and it seems to me that it is
taking an unfair advantage of his
present misfortune for Mr.. Donohue
to oppose him at the last moment
when my brother is helpless and I'M
able to defend himself.

firm of Stewart & Brewer as their at
torneys.
Mr.. Bell did not care to part with
his privileges and applied for a
charter. On Jan. 8, 1906, Congress
man Buchanan invited Mr.. Lindbergh
as Bells attorney to prepare bill
permitting Mr.. Bell to construct his
dan. On January 20, 1906, Mr..
Buchanan introduced in congress the
bill referred to-known as House
File 12608-and similar bill was at
the same time introduced in the U.
| S. Senate.
| The next move on the boards is
that Mr.. Buchanan returns to MINES
scta. Mr.. Brewer steps out of the con-
gressio nal race. Mr.. Buchanan has a
clear field. Mr.. Bell is refused char
ter on rights that cost them some
S7l00 five years ago, and Mr.. Brewer S
clients, on the other hand are granted
a charter.
| These facts, together with the fact
that Mr.. Buchanan has ever since
Brower's withdrawal claimed Mr..
Brower's support, and that on the
resignation of Postmaster Martin, Mr..
Brewer did not wait for the setting OF
the sun before he sprang to Buchanan IS
support, proves one thing at least,
and that is that long ago Mr.. Brewer
for purely personal and financial
reasons stepped aside in the con-
gressional fight.
In view of this plain statement oil
facts the real reason of Mr.. Brewer
support of MIR. Buchanan is mani
testify plain. Any other reason does
not rise to the dignity of an excuse
for his actions, or to put it mildly
borders on the ridiculous.

death CLAIMS A
BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY
Us Adelaide VogeI Dies on Thursday After
a ProtraCted Illness Of Typhoid
Fever.

Mention was made in our last issue
of the death of Miss Adelaide Vogel,
which occurred just as we were going
to press. The circumstances sur
rounding her sickness and death are
in some ways peculiarly sad.
Miss Adelaide was ambitious to be
making her own way in the world and
somewhat against the wishes of her
parents she accepted a position in
Grand Forks, where she has been for
nearly two years. She was stricken
with typhoid fever which babe fair to
be of the worst form and was advised
by her physician and friends to go
home, where she could have mothers
love and care. She had only been i'll
five days when she arrived home, and
previous to that had always been a
robust girI-the very picture of perfect
health. 1t was thought at first that
she could be saved but as often
happens when typhoid siezes upon a
strong person, she gradually lost her
strength and nothing her friends or
physicians could do seemed to be of
any avail and after four weeks of fever
and pain she was taken away from
earth and it's troubles to a land where
"there is no sickness" and where
"no tears are ever she'd" Miss Vogel
was a bright young woman and life
seemed to hold before her albright
future and who shall say that it has
not been realized. She was twenty
one years OF age, the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Vogel of our city.
She leaves large family to mourn
her going away, there being beside
the father and mother, nine sisters
and one brother.
Her funeral was held on Saturday
morning OF last week at 9 O'Clock from
the German Catholic church, Father
Artz officiating, and she was laid to
rest in st. Paul's cemetery. The
many friends of the family offer the
afflicted ones sincere and heartfelt
sympathy.

To Minnesota Rural Letter Carriers.

AT the annual meeting of the Rural
Letter Carriers held at Saltwater last
June, plans were discussed for a
special state meeting on Labor dav. to
be held at the State Fair Grounds.
Owing to rules of the State Fair
Association, the management was
unable to grant our request, and as a
substitute, offered the association
space upon the grounds for head
quarters.
After consultation, the association
decided to accept the proposition, and
instead of special meeting for Labor
day, will have open headquarters dur
ing the whole session of the State Fair
for the rural carriers. A bureau of
information will be established; a
place where carriers can meet and feel
at home, rest and exchange greetings,
leave their packages and grips and
register.
Some one of the State Officers of the
Association will be in attendance dur
ing the whole session, to greet and
make welcome any and all that may
attend. Carriers wishing to organize
associations, can do so at headquarters
during the session of the fair, or can
secure any information desired for
that purpose and necessary supplies.
Headquarters will be located op-
posite the mail building. All carriers

states attending the fair, whether
members OF the association or not will
be cordially welcomed.

The resignation of Postmaster
Martin at St. Cloud, was not in print
before. Mr.. Brewer commenced a
series of conferences with local politi-
cal leaders in St. Cloud stating in
these conferences that the man who
was appointed should have his hands
held up in his support of MIR. Buck
man at the primaries. The con-
ferences were held within few hours
after the resignation, and met with
little success as plan to get votes for
Buchanan.
The futility of this scheme was so
apparent to Mr.. Brewer that he has
ever since been calling in men to his
office claiming that he had some
clients who were interested in pro-
posed dam across the Mississippi
river, and that MIR. Lindbergh, Buck
mans opponent, had threatened the
ruin of these clients. 1t was given
out cold and sent broadcast through
the district. That Mr.. Lindbergh was
in a mysterious hold-up. This paper
has taken the pains to look into this
charge, and finds the facts as follows:
For the last Is or 20 years Mr.. Lind
bergh has been the attorney Of II. 2.
Bell, who some five years ago acquired
dam site on the Mississippi river at
Pike Rapids near Little Falls, acquir-
ing about a mile of storage right on
the east side of the river and about
one-half mile on the west side, giving
him fall Of about Is feet.
Within the last year other parties
determined to put in dam some dis
lance below Mr.. Bells site, and &C.
quired options, and title in some cases,
to the necessary site and fiowage rights
up to the Bell site, and retained the

STRANGE OBJECT
APPEARS IN THE SKY

Early Monday morning as DR.. Chas.
McCracken was viewing the beauties
OF nature that surround his home on
the Brooklyn side of our lovely city
and congratulating himself that
providence had cast his lot in such
pleasant places, he noticed strange
object in the sky which he watched
closely for some little time, when he
noticed that it gradually was nearing
the earth. Presently it appeared like
huge bird carrying something in its
beak. The doctor grew excited as
this strange bird circled about directly
over his peaceful home and great was
his surprise when with "many fiirt
and futter" it alighted upon his front
porch and proved to be a stork with a
suspicious looking bundle, which it
deposited at the doctors feet. SIS it a
girl?" questioned the doctor, but the
bird had spread its hugh pinions and
scared away. Lovingly our genial
doctor gathered up the precious bundle
and gave it into the motherly arms OF
his beloved wife who exclaimed,
"Heaven has sent us another beauti-
full little boy" and there spread over
her face a look that only comes al
such a time. The little dentist
bumped the beam at eight POUNDS and
is as bright and winsome a little
fellow as one would wish to see.
Hearty congratulations are extended
to the doctor and his estimable wife.
