ELLIS & KEYT SELL OUT
Eight Prominent Business Men En-
corporate to Open Department
Store in Dallas.

One OF the largest business deals
ever consummated in Dallas was made
Wednesday, when the Dallas Mercan-
tile Company purchased the big
general merchandise store Of Ellis &
Keyt. The sale includes the entire
stock Of goods, all store fixtures, and
the goodwill Of the business. The
store will be closed next Monday morn
ing and a large force Of clerks will
begin invoicing the stock. When the
inventory is completed, the new
company will open the doors for busi-
ness.
The Dallas Mercantile Company is
an incorporation. It is made up
entirely Of business men and capital
lists, and is conceded to be one OF the
strongest companies ever organized
In the Willamette Valley. The stock
holders are: r. e. Williams, Pres
ident Of the Dallas National Bank ;
R. @. Craven, President of the
Dallas City Bank; d. J..
Riley, the retired lumberman and
capitalist; E. G. Kirkpatrick, the we'll
known hop dealer and one Of the
heaviest property owners in Dallas +;
Il. L. Fenton, hop and wool buyer /;
M. D. Ellis, former Dallas business
man and now Grants Pass druggist !;
M. M. Ellis, one Of Dallas pioneer
merchants and bankers, and II. L.
Order, capitalist.
The object of the company, as set
forth in the articles Of incorporation,
is to buy, sell, deal in and dispose Of
all kinds and classes of merchandise,
at wholesale or retail; to buy and sell
lumber, shingles. posts, building
material, firewood, wool, mohair,
hides, pelts, hops, hop supplies, and
farm produce Of all kinds. The
capital stock of the company is placed
at $4,000, divided into 500 shares Of
the par value Of 800 each.
Fl. L. Fenton, for many years the
leading merchant Of Dallas, will have
the management Of the new store, and
will be assisted by H. L. Crider and
M. d. Ellis. Mr.. Ellis will retain his
drug store in Grants Pass. leaving it
in the hands of his son, Frank. He
will move his family to Dallas next
week.
The members of the new company
say that their object in engaging in
the mercantile business at this time is
to increase Dallas Importance as a
trading point by eventually building
up one Of the largest department stores
in the Willamette Valley. They will
occupy the present quarters for few
months at least, as the season is too
far advanced to give them an oppor-
tunity to find another location or
decide upon the size or style OF build
ing that would be required for their
increased stock. They will give their
first attention to enlarging the stock,
leaving the question of building to be
decided later on.
The members of the corporation are
all men of affairs, men who have
played prominent part In making
Dallas the live and prosperous town
that it is, and their united efforts in
building up large and modern mer-
camille establishment cannot fail to
resultin great good by stimulating all
lines Of commercial activity and in
creasing Dallas Importance as trade

THE WALL OF A REPORTER.


By J. DEAN COLLINS.
/ watch for local items,
AS along the street they bob,
! nail them in my notebook thick,
('Tis thus / hold my Jobs
But now has come the summer time,
And briny weeplets drop,
Foron the sultry streets defunct,
No local squibs outcrop.
While everyone hath hied him hence
Unto the briny sea,
To bask beside the bounding main,
Arrayed in negligee;
To paddle barefoot 10 the wave,
Tn spite OF crabs that bite 'em,
I roam the soporiflc streets
To catch the fitting item.
The mercury scoots up the tube,
The streets wax hot as Tophet,
But still must stick by my post
And curse the weather prophet.
Yet though such troubles vex me sore,
I could be gay despite 'em,
If only now and then I might
Cop the elusive item.

Kerplunk from off the wall;

On some pedestrian fall;

Somebody out and fight 'em;

O, that the winter time were here;

THE OLD SWIMMIN' HOLE
Small Boys of Dallas Spend Their
Time Bathing In LaCreOIe River.

At this season Of the year, when the
mercury is doing its best to climb up
and see how things look from the top
of the tube, one strolling along the
banks of the LaCreole river, outside
the city limits, can hear at all hours
of the day the lusty splashing and
hilarious shouts Of the boyhood OF
Dallas, engaged in the sport OF swim
ming.
To one who for years has confined
his aquatic exercises to the narrow
limits of an enameled bathtub, it Is a
source Of increasing wonder how these
lively, sunburned specimens Of boylsh
health and happiness ever Caught
on" to the trick of swimming at their
age, and to their doting mammas this
early exhibition Of the natatory
instinct is a source Of constant
uneasiness.
Nevertheless, in spite OF the oPPOsi-
ton from the feminine half Of the
household, boys will be boys.
They will 60 swimming; they will
sunburn their backs and go home
whimpering; they will fight with the
other boys, and, perhaps pick up a
good bit Of slang and few harmless
bywords.
Yet these things that some so heart
lily deplore will not only make less fire.
auent such headlines as young Man
Meets Death by Drowning" but will
also develop a generation OF strong
Ifmbed, deep-chested men; Of big
hearted, self-conident men; the kind
OF men that Uncle Sam will need 70
carry on his business in the strenu-
ous years to come.

Needed.

People are often very much dis
appointed to find that their fami
ly physician is away from home
when they most need his services.
Diseases like cramp collie and
cholera morbus require prompt
treatment, and have in many in
stances proven fatal before medi-
cine could be procured or a physi-
clan summoned. The right way
is to keep at hand a bottle of

clan can prescribe a better medi-
cine for these diseases. By Hav-
ing it in the house you escape
much pain and suffering and all
risk. Buy it now; it may save
