Urges Prison for P0Iy9S !
Senator Dubois Says Prison is
the Only Remedy.

Aurora. Ill.,. Aug. lS.-"You can
not convict the Mormons of polygamy.

second marriage, but law against
unlawful cohabitation, II the enforce
ment were in the hands OF the feder-
al authorities, would put the leaders
of the Mormon church in the peni-
Tertiary, and this would destroy their
political polygamy."
This remedy for Mormonism was
advocated by former United States
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, in an ad-
dress this afternoon before an audi
ence of 1000 at the Astoria Chautau-
qua, in discussing the probability of
the spreading Of Mormon political
power to all parts of the United
States. Senator Dubois urged his
hearers to use their influence with
the Illinois representatives in con-
press to secure an amendment of the
constitution under which the federal
government will have the power to
| deal with the evils of Mormonism
and to prevent the continuance of
polygamous marriages which he said
were still practised among the Nor
mons.
"Plural marriages among the Nor
| mons are performed by hign' officials
of that church in secret places, either
| in their temples or in foreign coun-
tries. and nc record is kept OF the
plural marriages continued the sen.
ator.

of the Mormon church exercise their
political power in order to protect
themselves in their polygany, and

amy they would give up polygamy
and with it their political influence
would disappear.

MORE MILLS SHUT DOWN
Dallas Lumber Company's Big Saw
mill Suspends Operations
Indefinitely.

Roy Wassom, manager OF the
Dallas Lumber Company, informs US
that the company's big sawmill 10
North Dallas was shut down indeh-
nitely, Saturday, and that the logging
crews 10 the timber will be Withdrawn
from their work. He says this move
is made necessary by the scarcity OF
cars and the ruinous tariff on lumber.
G.. W. Gone, Of the Cone Lumber
Company, says he will continue 10
operate his mill at Black Rock as
long as possible. The lumber market
is in such a critical and uncertain
condition, however, that he cannottell
when he may be obliged to shut down
and call in his crew Of lOggers.

The Portland Journal in a witty and
good natured editorial, takes us to
task for our position on the Initiative
and Referendum amendment to the
Oregon constitution. We see no reason
to change our opinion, however,
and wish to repeat that we believe
Editor Scott was right when ho said
II doubt whether it would now be ac-
cepted by so large a majority; possibly
it would not be adopted at ALL" The
Initiative and Referendum was
adopted by the voters of Oregon be-
cause twas embodied in the platforms
OF every political party in the state.
The Democratic convention indorsed
1t in the hope of winning votes from
the Populists, and the Republicans in
dorsed it because they were afraid to
leave tout. 1t doubtful il one voter
in dozen took time to read the amend
ment before voting for it, and it is
doubtful il any considerable number
OF them have read it since. They sim
ply shut their eyes and swallowed the
whole Populistic dose, because their
party physicians had prescribed it.
Now, they are beginning to wish they
were rid Of it, This is the whole case

BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT
Large Attendance at Clubs First
Dancing Party at WOOdman
Hall.

The dancing party given by the
Carnation Club at Woodman Hall
last Saturday evening was the most
brilliant social affair Of the year.
About thirty couples were present to
participate in the pleasures OF the first
club dance Of the season. The beau
tifully lighted hall, the handsomely
gowned women, and the inspiring
music all contributed to make the
evening one long to be remembered.
Light refreshments were served in the
regaIia room adjoining the main hall,
and at the close Of the dance lunch
Of sandwiches and cake was enjoyed
One Of the features Of the party was
the attendance Of merry company OF
young people from Falls City, eleven
in number, who drove down to take
part in the pleasant affair. No more
enjoyable dance was ever given in
Dallas, and the officers Of the club and
those having the active management
in charge received many compliments
and congratulations.
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs.

DALLAS RAPID GROWTH.


The OBsERvER's count Of the popula-
ton Of Dallas shows that the town mas
made a steady and healthy growth ID
the last three years. The count made
hythis paper in 1904 showed the actual
population to be 1923. The enumera-
ton just completed gives the town
population Of 2O9O, or net gain OF 66f
people. The increase is highly cred
table, and proves that Dallas is keep
ing pace with the onward march OF the
progressive towns Of Oregon. A gain
of 81 per cent in population in three
years is showing of which every cltl-
zen may we'll feel proud.
Some Of our readers may wonder
why with gain Of f145 dwelling houses
in three years, the town does not snow
q larger increase in population. Inc
explanation is found in the fact that
when the former count was made,
there was q great scarcity OF residences
in MANY instances two and even three
families being found living In the
same house. In the last count Few
houses were found in which there were
more than one family.
One feature OF the count which Will
be surprising to all is that there are l39
homes in Dallas in which there are no
children. In each OF 143 other homes
there is but one child. This astonish-
ing condition of affairs is largely re-
sponsible for the fact that Dallas pop
ulation seems small when the number
ofdwelling houses in the town is taken
into account. The average number or
people in adwelling is little less than
four, including members Of the fam
lily, boarders, and all.
We find that there are G8 widows,
grass and otherwise, in Dallas-an
increase of 13 since 1904 There are
27 widowers living here at present, as
compared with 28 three years ago.
Fully 70 per cent Of the families OF
Dallas own their own homes-a very
creditable showing.
The census just completed has been
as thorough and painstaking as we
could make it. The young man In
our employ had instructions to visit
every residence, business house and
factory in the town and carefully
enumerate every person living there
in. That he performed his work care
fully and conscientiously, we have nc
reason to doubt. A list OF the names
secured will be filed in our office, and
anyone desiring to look it over may
consider himself at liberty to do So
1t is possible that few errors OF
omissions may have crept into the
work, but we think these will be found
few In number. In few instances
where a family could not be found at
home, after repeated visits, the inform
alton received from the neighbors
living on each side Of the house was
accepted. Only three vacant houses
were found in the entire round of the
town, and two of these were so old and
dlapidated as to be almost uninhab.
table.
The count has involved much work
and considerable expense, but the
OBSERVER has considered the task
worth while. believing that the result
would be OF interest to its readers, ans
confident that the growth already
made will encourage the citizens o
Dallas to work tho more diligently fol
the upbuilding of their town in the
years that are to come.
