LONG BUSINESS CAREER
Retiring Merchant Has Done Much
to Aid in Growth and Develop
ment OF Dallas.

Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. NJ. Ellis left yester.
oay Tor Newport, where they will occu-
py their beautiful residence near the
Ocean House until September while
enjoying few weeks Of rest and recre-
alton. They drove across the mount
aims and will make the trip by easy
stages, enjoying the bracing air and
splendid scenery along the route.
In retiring from the management of
the store OF Ellis& Keyt, which recently
passed into the hands of the Dallas
Mercantile Company, Mr.. Ellis closed
an active business career in Dallas
covering period of nearly forty years.
Having accumulated a goodly share
OF this worlds goods through close
application to business, and having
reached aH age where he feels that he
would like to take life easier, Mr.,
Ellis will hereafter devote his whole
attention to the management of his
large prune orchard and other private
interests.
In all the long years he has lived
among us, Dallas has had no more
progressive or public-spirited citizen
than Mr.. Ellis. There is not a manu-
featuring institution in the city but he
has had hand in it's establishment,
and none knows better than this
writer of the personal sacrifices and
liberal gifts Of money made by Mr..
Ellis in securing those industries
which make Dallas the busy, pros
porous city that it is today. He has
heen an effective worker for the up
building of his home town, and
although often having to carry more
than his share of the burden, has
always worked cheerfully and will
ingly.
Both Mr.. Ellis and his partner, Mr..
Keyt, feel very grateful to the people
Of Polk county for the liberal patron
age that has been accorded them, and
they desire to bespeak continuance
of this patronage and goodwill for
the men who have succeeded them.
Mrs. L. M. Smith is visiting relatives
in Salem.
Mrs. H. L. Fenton and son, Carl.
will go to Newport today for weeks
outing.
G. A. Griswold arrived home from
New York, Monday, and is spending

Coad and family will start today for

William Fault is improving his
store fronts, both on Mill street and
Main, by the application Of new
coat of paint.
J.J. Wiseman and Thomas Notson
have been 10 Portland, taking oven
baths for rheumatism. Both found
the treatment beneficial.
Some small boys diving below the
milldam recently brought up a jar
containing a quantity of half-slacked
lime. For some unaccountable reason,
it had failed to explode, but the fact
Of its presence there was sufficient to
show that somebody had been
unsportsmanlike enough to forsake
the lawful method Of rod and reel for
the more precarious and less legiti
mate method of explosives.

SUFFERING is ENDED
Sam T. ThurstOn Dies Of consump-
tiOR, in Arizona, After Three
Years. Illness.

After an illness extending over
period Of nearly three years, Samuel
i. Thurston died Of consumption at
Alhambra. Arizona, Tuesday. News
OF his death was wired to his aged
parents at Suver by Mrs. Thurston,
who was with her husband when the
end came. Arrangements for the
funeral have not been completed, but
it is probable that the body will be
brought to Polk county for burial.
Although the friends of Mr.. Thurston
had known for several months that he
could not recover from the dread
disease, the news OF his death caused
deep sorrow in Dallas, where he was
we'll known and universally respected.
The deceased was the youngest son
Of Mr. and Mrs. j. Thurston, highly
respected residents of Suver precinct.
He was born in Canada 80 years age,
and came with his parents to Oregon
when a mere lad He was married to
Miss Blanche Taylor in Eugene, in
April, 1903, and one child, son, was
born to them. He was a member Of
Jennings Lodge, No. 9. A. F. & A. M,
Of this city.
During his college days, Sam was
noted in athletic circles as one of the
most skillful football players on the
coast. He played for several seasons
with the Corvallis team, and later was
member of the famous University of
Oregon team that defeated the Berkeley
eleven. 1t is believed by many of his
friends who knew him best that the
disease that caused his death was
brought on by hard training and
overwork on the football field.
Sam was manly, generous fellow,
and numbered as his friends every
man, woman and child who knew
him. He was industrious and pro-
gressive, and was scrupulously honest
in all OF his business transactions.
Through all the long, weary months
of his illness, he was cheerful and
accomplishing, and his letters to his
friends and. kindred at home breathed
the spirit Of hope and good cheer,
although written from a bed of pain.
In his death, Oregon loses one of its
most worthy young men.

BowsER EXPOSED.

At the last meeting of the Gay Old
Boys club, founded by Noah Webster
at the time he got out his first diction-
airy, and numbering among its mem
bers such convivial persons as Thorn
as Jefferson, James Monroe and
James Madison, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
whereas, An individual calling
Samuel Bowser, made application for
membership in this club. and was
elected and initiated and then came
out in the public press and made state
mentS derogatory to its high and
mighty dignity; now, therefore, be II,
Resolved, That the secretary of the
club be requested and empowered to
write and publish a statement contain
ing the true facts in the case over the
great seal of the club"
The statement is as follows and
sworn to before a notary public:
Sometime since Mr.. Samuel Bow
ser made it known to one of the
members of this club that he had long
been looking for just such an or
ganization and would feel honored to
become a member. In due time the
following list of printed questions was
sent to him to fill out and returns:
Are you a bald-headed man?
Docs Mrs. Bowser stand in awe of
youo
s'Can you find your way home after
drinking the third bottle?
"Have you the moral courage to en-
ter your house at o'clock in the
morning, knowing that your wife is
sitting up for you?
How long have you been a game
old sport?
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-12-14

How long have you had a desire
to Join some club that was engaged
in saving the country?
eff given the choice of separation
from your wife or the club, which
would 1t be?
SHOULD you reach home in a dizzy
condition from any cause, can we trust
you to keep the name of this club I'M
sullied?
do you babble in your dreams?
Are there any back windows to
your house that you can climb into in
case you find the front door bolted
against you?
do you agree to abide by all the
rules and regulations in force in this
club at the time of your initiation?
"Mr. Rowser's answers to the ques-
lions as above were considered salts
factory, and he was notified that on
certain night he should appear for
initiation. What passed between him
and Mrs. Bowser when he told her or
the coming honor we can only guess
at, but it was probably all that could
be hoped for. As the first step in his
Initiation he was required to sing a
love song. He selected "A Brown
Eyed Angel and sang with great
feeling. At it's finish a fine of $21 was
imposed on him to pay for the broken
glass and the damage to the ceiling,
and he cheerfully paid it.

champagne placed before him. In few
minutes, and without any prompting
from member, he arose and sang odd
Black joe 1t was a different Old
Black joe from any that we had ever
heard, and it was somewhat mixed with
Annie Laurie and John Brown, but
20 criticisms were made. The Gay Old
Boys never criticise.
"A few minutes later Mr. Bowser
asked permission to deliver an Grafton
in Latin. He was not encouraged and
not refused, and he went ahead. In
delivering his grafton the name OF
we could not exactly make out what
he was driving at. The Gay Old Boys
never interfere in family matters.
1T was noticed in a casual way that
Mr.. Bowser had got hold of a second
quart of champagne, but no remarks
were made. The Gay Old Boys never
remark.
I'VE were about to sing Aud Lang
Syne' and dispense when Mr.. Bowser
rose up and said that he would like to
put the gloves on with some one for
couple of rounds.
THE remark was laid on the table.
'"Then the newborn member an
nounced that he was the champion
runner of the United States. and that
he would run any member of the club.
a distance of thirty miles for any
''The remark was laid under the
table
"Mr. Bowser then asked the privi-
lege of making a few remarks on the
death of Cicero, but the meeting ad-
journed without listening to him.
though not before appointing two
members to see him home and unlock
the front door. That they did their
brotherly duty by him there is no
cause for doubt. He was received at
the door by Mrs. Bowser, and as far
as the members could satisfy them
selves he was not dragged upstairs
feet first.
$50 far as this club is concerned not
a word would have been said to the
outside world had not Mr.. Bowser, by
his explanations to Mrs. Bowser,
forced US into the attitude taken.
