A wild coffee plant discovered in
the Congo country is being used with
great success in Java. where it thrives
in ground in which other coffee plants
die or cease to bear. The African
variety is very prolific and the taste
and aroma of the berries improve as
the plants grow older. Overcultiva-
tion, like civilization, seems to have
de-energizing effect. 1t takes little
infusion Of the wild at intervals to
keep things going.

TROUT FOR LA CREOLE RIVER
Famous Polk County Stream Will
Receive Attention of Fish
Bureau.

After a lengthy correspondence,
Deputy County Clerk Fred Toner has
received notice from the Bureau OF
Fisheries in Washington, ID. O., that
shipment of Eastern brook trout for
the LaCreole river will be sent out
some time prior to November l. The
Bureau writes Mr.. Toner that he will
be advised in advance of the date Of
shipment, and that full instructions
as to meeting the messenger and
planting the fish will be sent.
This will be good news to the sports
men of Dallas, all of whom are
desirous Of seeing the LaCreole
restored to its old fame as trout
stream. The Bureau writes that only
a sufficient number of fish to serve as
brood stock can be sent, and the local
fishermen will be expected to take the
necessary steps to protect the trout
until they have had time to reproduce.
Mr.. Toner says that it is probable that
he shipment will be about equally
livided between Glendale and Can
on Greeks, as it is certain that the
oung fish will be better protected In
hese small branches than they would
g 10 the main river.

DEATH CLAIMS PIONEER
Gold Hubbard Passes at His Home

Word was received In Dallas yester-
day that Gold Hubbard, an old pioneer
of Polk County, died at his home near
Pullman, Washington, Saturday
morning. Mr.. Hubbard had been III
for several weeks, and letter received
from his son, Riley, last week brought
the sad news to relatives In Oregon
that the end was near. No particulars
Of his last illness have reached Dal-
las. but it is supposed that death was
the result of a general decline due to
old age.
Mr.. Hubbard was a member Of one
of Oregon's well-known pioneer fam
lilies. He resided on a farm near
in this county, for many
years, and then moved to Eastern
Washington. He is survived by a
large family.

the fact that money is a secondary
consideration when it comes to pro

the people of the county.
The younger generation cannot do
too much for the pioneers, and their
day should be made the best day OF
the year. Dallas counts it proud
privilege to be permitted to honor
these grand old men and women, and
this feeling increases as the ranks
grow thinner with each succeeding
year. The Observer therefore sug-
gests that In future the reunion be
held separate and apart from the cele-
bration. feeling confident that the
suggestion will meet the hearty
approval of a great majority of the
