SPECIAL TRAINS ON FOURTH
Good Service and Low Rates on
All Railroads centering in
Dallas.

Special trains and low rates have
been granted by all railroads center
ing in Dallas for the big Fourth OF
July celebration. In. Woods, of the
tran sportation committee, reported
yesterday that President Hirschberg,
of the Independence Motor Company,
had secured permission from the
Southern Pacific Company to run an
excursion train from McMinnville to
Dallas on the morning of the Fourth.
This train will run by way of Inde-
pendence and will accommodate the
people Of Amity, Mccoy and Derry.
The train will leave McMinnville at
1915 a. M, and arrive in Dallas at
:25 a. m. Returning, it will leave
Dallas at 7 :35 p. m. The fare for the
round trip will be as follows: From
McMinnville, $3.50; Whiteson, $1.SO;
Amity, $l.25; Mccoy, $1.OO; Derry, rs
cents.
A train will leave Airlie at s:15
a. M, and returning, will leave Dallas
at p. M. Fare for the round trip, IS
cents.
The Dallas and Falls City railroad
will maintain the regular day sched-
ules on July and A, and will run
special train on the night of the 4th,
leaving Dallas at 10 80 o'clock. This
train will accommodate all who desire
to remain at night and witness the big
display of fireworks. A round-trip
rate of so cents will be made by the
company.
Manager Hirschberg, of the Inde-
1endence q Monmouth Motor Com
,any, will run the three day trains on
he regular schedule and will also
urnish a special train at night for
hose who may wish to stop over for
he fireworks and ball.
1t will be seen from the foregoing
chedules that the committee on trans
has not been idle. The
and patriotic spirit of the
abroad managers in providing such
xcellent train service is greatly
ppreciated, and a record breaking
rowd is now assured. /,

The wholesalers of the United States
have advanced the price of cotton
thread to 67 cents for dozen spools,
and the retail merchants have found
it necessary to raise the price to six
cents a spool. The big cotton trust is
treading on mighty dangerous
ground. Man, the poor sucker, will
stand for almost any amount of extor-
tion the big combinations may seem
tit to heap upon him, but when the
foolish manipulators of the thread
trust make it no longer possible for
the women folk to buy one spool of
0. N. T. for five cents. or six for a
quarter, they are inviting trouble with
capital T.

THE BEST ADVERTISEMENT.

Dallas has never done much adver-
tising through the medium OF
pamphlets, circulars and write-ups in
special editions Of newspapers-pos-
sibly not as much as it should have
done. But it has done something of
infinitely more Importance and bene-
fit-it has provided employment for
every laboring man coming this way
in search Of work. The Dallas idea
has been that while it is we'll for a
town to advertise its resources and
advantages, no permanent growth
and prosperity can be reached unless
employment is provided for the labor
ing man. If we would hold the
stranger and homeseeker when he
comes among us, we must offer him
some inducement to stay. Advertising
has its value in attracting the atten-
tion of the homeseeker and investor,
but its value ends there. The rest will
depend upon the town itself. Dallas
owes its rapid growth and substantial
prosperity to the fact that its business
men have never overlooked or ne
elected an opportunity to secure an
industry that would increase the
monthly payroll and develop the sur
rounding country,
The man who comes to Dallas
soliciting money for write-up of the
town may be surprised at the seeming
indifference of the business men to
the merits OF his scheme, but let him
approach these same business men
with a proposal to establish some
industry here that will increase the
monthly payroll and he will be more
surprised to see how quickly they will
begin to sit up and take notice.

1t seems peculiar to US outsiders to
see the Oregonian taking no stand in
the late city election. 1t would seem
as il they wanted to see DR.. Lane
elected mayor, but we're afraid to say
so. Machine politics is a spellbinder,
surely.
The foregoing paragraph was
printed in Tuesdays Portland Journal
and incorrectly credited to the OBsER-

printed in the OBSERVER, and it in no
way reflects the sentiments of this
paper. The matter is of small
moment, and is worth only these few
words of explanation.

county not represented in the OBsER-

would like very much to have a
weekly news letter from that thriving
community, so as to have every pre-
cinct in the county represented. No
other paper in Oregon has anything
like as thorough neighborhood news
service as the OBSERVER, and the
pleasing part Of it is that this depart
ment was established only five months
ago. Who will write us from Ballston?

JAPANESE WILL
PETITION ISH|I
To Work Against Restriction
Upon Immigration---Mr.
Yoshie Game.

The japanese Hotelkeepers' Associa-
ton is going to present a petition te
| Commissioner Ishii, asking him to en-
| deayor to have the provision in the
new immigration law, prohibiting the
| admission of Japanese to the mainland
on passports issued to Hawaii, repeal
ed by Congress. It will be framed in
the same manner as Mr.. Nagoro's pc
tition lately presented to President
Roosevelt.
Commissioner Ishii was to visit Eva
and Waialua yesterday but the plan
was changed and he went to Waipahu,
Wahiawa and Waialua. He was to
have returned to town last night, but
may have stayed over at Haleiwa. The
commissioner was accompanied by
Consul General Saito, j. K. Ozawa and
representatives of the japanese Mer-
chants Association.
K. Ono has received a letter from
his friend at Vancouver saying that
Mr.. Yoshie, who passed through here
a short time ago, had entered into an
agreement with certain Canadian cap
italists for the supply of five thousand
japanese laborers.
Mr.. Yos1lie, the writer says further,
is opposed to the immigration of Jap
anese to Canada from Hawaii and has
been sending misleading information
to Honolulu so that the emigration
from Hawaii might be stopped. While
in Japan he had made arrangements
to get laborers from there direct

The Albuquerque Evening Citizen
last week has the following to say
concerning Miss Jennie Lee Hedrick
who has been the guest of her sis
ter Mrs. Hearbert Collier in the New

miss Jennie Lee Hedrick, OF ANA
rlllo, Texas, who has been in this
city for the past several months as
the guest of her sister, Mrs. r. H..
Collier, will leave this evening for
her home. Miss Hedrick is little
black eyed southerner and during
her brief visit here, she made many
friends. In fact, she did things to
the hearts OF some OF the masculine
members OF the youngsters set and
she has been one OF the most pop
ular members OF the kid crowd
during the summer here. Last even
ing some OF the members OF the
young set gathered at the home Of
Mrs. Collier and needles to say their
coming was not announced in ad-
vance. 1t was genuine surprise
party and Miss Hedrick was given
proof OF her popularity. In fact, she
had gone to spend the evening with
Miss Jean Hubbs and was decoyed
to her sisters home only to find all
the lights aglow and crowd OF her
young friends waiting to- receive
her. A lively time followed and the
little Texas girl was given the most
enjoyable evening OF her stay in
this city.
1.-THE young people danced and
played variety OF games in which
appropriate prizes were won. Mrs.
Collier and Mrs. Hubbs saw to 1t that

rick will take home with her pleas

other tokens more or less sentimental
from the many friends with whom
she passed an enjoyable summer"
