Captain Hooper on Birmingham.

Capt. Ben w. Hooper, who owns Bev- erly Place, is stopping at the Hotel Flor ence Besides his holding in Birmingham he is largely interested in real estate in Oklahoma City as we'll as in his native state Captain Hooper is prominently con- nected with federal affairs in Eastern Tennessee, and is a great believer in Bir- mingham.
 'This city will soon outdstance every other in the south, with the possible ex- cepton of New Orleans he said. 'Fi- nancial depressions may periodically come and go, but Birmingham, with her pn- rivalled natural resources, will always regain her feet quickly and firmly. Hard times can hurt only the town which has something to be hurt. The rural com munity, which has mines, mills or factories to be closed down, will natural Iy be affected but little by a general depression. So when you hear city boast that it was not hurt by the hard times you may know that it had noth- ing to be hurt. It is only living things that suffer pain Nobody ever knew mummy to complain, nor are the buried cities of the Orient disturbed by financial storms.
 It is delightful to see how splendidly Birmingham is ralying from the effects of the recent little financial furry. This town is today the safest and surest in- vestment proposition in the south.'
 When asked his opinion as to the presi- dental outcome, Captain Hooper said:
 "Nobody's opinion is of any interest, for everybody is now agreed that Taft and Bryan will be the nominees. Every body seems to be satisfied with this ar rangement, as the democrats claim that Taft is the weakest candidate that tho republicans can nominate and the repub- licans only have to point to history to prove that Bryan is soft snap for them. My personal judgment is that Taft will be an exceedingly strong candidate. Con- servative, broad-minded and safe, he will appeal strongly to the business interests, and running on a Roosevelt platform, he will be satisfactory to the liberal and progressive element throughout the coun- try He will thus be set like the nigger s coon trap to ketch em comn and gwine. He will make one of the greatest presi- dents the country has ever had, being the equal of any in point of ability and the superior of all others in his intimate familiarity with every detail of our gov ernmental affairs, domestic and foreign

~= HE Confederate Veterans reunion (CD was a magnificent success. Bir-
 mingham did itself proud and the veterans left unanimously singing the praises of this new, progressive and hos opinion that Richmond has never been more successful in one of it's reunions from d point of hospitality than was Bir- mingham.
 The success of this reunion has really brought about a movement among Bir- minghams own people themselves that has united them and inspired them to bet ter deeds more energy and truly united spirit. As a mere evidence of this fact the Commercial club has raised $61,OOo in small subscriptions in 24 hours to con- struet seven-story club building. The building with lot is to cost s25O,O0o, $15O,01o
  by J. L. Chalifoux of Lowell, Mass, who owns the lot upon which the building is to be erected This large loan is evidence of MT. Chalfouxs confidence in Bir- mingham, as well as of the confidence of the several citizens who subscribed to the preferred stock of the building.
 Now, the next thing we need is a great hotel. Those which we have are good but they are too small and those who attended the Confederate reunion and were willing to pay were too much crowd ed. hotel with 500 bed rooms would undoubtedly pay immensely in Birming- ham.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
EMPTY HONOR.

EMPTY HONOR. He stood at the top with the battle won And crown upon his head | The goal was at hand and the strife was done And the last armed foe had fled
 And far below in the valleys deeps The weddings struggled on, Der the still, sad graves where failure sleeps When the light of the day is gone.
 And the world spoke well of the fight he made Piled flowers round his feet;
 And his heart rose high at the tributes
 And the praise in his ears was sweet
 But chill struck home to his aching And he brushed the tears away, When he thought of his life's exacting quest And the price he had to pay. He wept for the wife he forgot to love ' And the home that he did not know, And the friends he lost when he climbed above And left them down below. Though he found success and carved his name In the halls of pomp and pride, Spurred on by a thirst for worldly fame, He lost all else beside. HE LIKED SHAKESPEARE. s'Who is dis feller Shakespeare?" asked a street urchin, as he came out of the
 gallery entrance to Birmingham the atre. T don't know who he is," replied the

HAND TORN FROM WRIST
LabOrer in Black Rock Mill FearfuIly
Mangled by Rapidly Revolving
Shaft.

Frank McCready, the l6-year-old
son of John MeCready, of the Polk
County Lumber Company at Black
Rock, was badly injured Saturday
afternoon by being caught on the
main shaft under the mill.
A fragment of rope was wound upon
the shaft, and the boys hand was
accidentally caught and entangled in
it. The shaft was revolving at full
speed and he was snatched off his feet
and whirled around twice at fearful
rate, the entire strain falling upon
the thumb and finger of his right
hand. Twice his body spun round
the shaft, and then the overtaxed
members gave way; the thumb and
finger, together with all the muscles
and tendons reaching back to the
elbow were torn out, and the lad was
thrown to the ground with his arm
broken in three places above the
elbow.
Medical assistance was called from
Dallas at once and the sufferer was
brought to this city Immediately by
special train, where chloroform was
administered and his arm attended to.
No other injuries excepting a few
severe bruises were found and the boy
is now resting easily with n fair assur
ance Of rapid recovery. His escape
from worse injury, or even death, is
considered almost miraculous by those
who witnessed the accident.

DEATH ENDS SUFFERING
Body of William Butz Will Be Taken
to Old Home in Michigan for
Burial.

William Butz died at the home of
his brother, Fl. s. Butz, Friday morn
ing after an illness Of over 6 months
duration. The cause Of his death was
creeping paralysis, which first became
apparent last summer, and which
slowly and insidiously smothered his
vitality until Friday morning he died
as quietly as a little child would fall
asleep.
Mr.. Butz was SO years Of age and
was born in st. Joe County, Michigan
in 1871. HIS lived in that State until
1901, when he came to Oregon, where
he stayed with his brother until the
time of his death. He was the young
est Of the five children Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Leonard Butz, of Michigan.
His brother, H. s. Butz, left Dallas,
Saturday afternoon, and will take the
body to. Sturgis, Michigan, where it
will be buried beside the graves Of his
parents.

DAGGY PLEASED AUDIENCE
Brilliant Young Lecturer Entertained
Hearers With Able Lecture on
''AnglO-SaxOn Grit"

The lecture on "Anglo-Saxon Grit"
delivered by Maynard Lee Daggy at
the Woodman Hall, Friday evening,
was greatly appreciated by all who
attended it, and is said to be the best
feature that has yet appeared in the
Lyceum course during this season.
Professor Daggy's delivery was a
revelation to his listeners. An orator
of years experience, he carried himself
with an ease and polish that captivated
the audience. His presentation Of the
subject was original and unique, add
ing a fresh interest to facts that are
familiar to nearly every man or
woman Of education in the United
States, and when he had finished his
address, there was not person in the
house who could fail to take pride in
the fact that he was of the Anglo
Saxon race to which the speaker had
paid such high tribute.
Those who went to the lecture with
misgivings as to the quality of the
entertainment that was to be given
them were quickly won over and con-
vinced of the power of the witty and
logical little orator, who held the
interest of his audience unhagging
throughout discourse Of nearly two
hours duration.

LECTURE WELL ATTENDED
Professor HOrner's Address On His
Journey in Palestine Attracts
Large Audience.

J. B. Horner, Professor Of History.
at the Oregon Agricultural College,
delivered an excellent lecture on the
Holy Land at the Presbyterian church
Sunday night. Professor Horner
travelled through Palestine three years
ago, and his lecture is illustrated with
beautiful stereoptican pictures from
plates taken by himself during the
course Of his journey.
The church was crowded to over
flowing and Mr.. Horner held this large
audience in perfect attention for nearly
two hours, in spite of the fact that he
was handicapped in his lecture by
trouble with the stereoptican and by
several mistakes on the part Of his
assistants.
Mr.. Horner's speech is easy and
colloquial, winning for him instant
and close sympathy with his listeners,
and the personal element that he
infused into his address gave an
added charm to the already interesting
subject of travel among the historic
ruins of Greece, Egypt and Palestine.
The lecture was given under the
auspices of the Ladies Missionary
Society of the Presbyterian church.

ASHLAND OUTCLASSED
Dallas Defeated Normal School Five
by Score of SS to 5, Saturday
Night.

Although the lovers of basketball
did not have the pleasure of witnessing
a hard or close game when Dallas
College met Ashland Normal on the
home floor Saturday night, they were
given the greatest exhibition of score
building that has ever been seen in
this city. When the final whistle
blew Dallas had ss points chalked up
to her credit against Ashland's 6
points. Only two of the points for
Dallas were made on fouls, so that
they averaged more than a goal a
minute during the 40 minutes Of play.
The Dallas five played easily during
the first half, scoring 30 to their
opponant's 6, and in the second half
they went at the game like a whirl-
wind, scoring the remaining SO points
with such rapidity that the crowd on
the side lines could scarcely keep pace
with them, but were forced to merge
their series Of cheers into one long
roar of merriment and jubilation.
The Ashland aggregation, however,
took their defeat in good part, conduct
ing themselves in a thoroughly sports
manlike and gentlemanly manner
during their entire stay in Dallas.
Although badly outclassed at every
point, they played pluckily and played
the best they could during the whole
game and cheered the victors heartily
at it's close.

abled us to build our
business to what it is.

stock of $4,000 occupying
a floor space Of 1000
square feet.
In January, 1905, we
added the plumbing and
timing department to
our hardware business,
and on January |, 1906,
added another depart
ment, that Of furniture,
by the purchase of the
Kerslake stock. This
needing more floor space
we leased the entire
Kirkpatrick building,
which we now occupy
with the addition of a
large warehousef for each
department..
We now have a total
floor space of over 5000
square feet, over 9 times
the space we had in the
beginning. We. now
employ regularly ten
people to look after this
business; five times as
many as we had in the
beginning, and we are
now doing more than
ten times the business
we did in 1904, Fand be-
lieve that in 1908 we
will do Is times as much
as we did in 1904.
You, our customers
have made our increased
stock possible, for which
we thank you, a n d
promise in the year 1908,
