Governor Benson regards the pro-
position of calling an extra session OF
the Legislature obviously, mental
attitude which appears to be common
to large percentage of the citizen
ship Of Oregon In less exalted posi-
tions. During the latter days of the
regular session OF Legislature and
Immediately after its adjournment,
public opinion, overweight with the
excitement ofthe time, seemed inclined
to impute to that body longer list of
Legislative vices than any Of its pre-
decessors and to look with pessimistic
eyes upon all of its actions. Now
when the sins Of omission and COM
mission have been properly credited
and all Of its virtues have also been
fairly written by that safest OF all re-
cording angels, sober popular after
thought, the work Of the Legislature
begins to fall into more nearly true
perspective. 1t had 40 days in which |
to do its work and in the main, it did |
its work fairly we'll. 1t was inevitable
that much work should have been
done carelessly, wrongly, or left en-
tircly undone, and that much unnec-
essary business should have been
carried through, yet, taken as a whole,
the work Of the recent session has
been practically as effective as that Of
any Of the preceding sessions. There
are undoubtedly a number of things
that left unsettled or only partially
settled, still call for further legislative
action, yet it is doubtful il there are,
among those things any that imper-
atively demand the additional expense
possibly additional confusion in
duced by the introduction OF new
measures) and trouble incident to the
calling of an extra session.

Good Entertainment At Star.

Professor Raymond Gould, the hyp-
notist who was billed to appear at the
Star Theater last night and tonight
was unable to come to Dallas owing
to an accident yesterday, in which he
had the misfortune to break one of
his legs. Mr.. Whiteside, manager Of
the theater, reduced the admission to
10 cents, his regular charge for the
moving pictures alone, so that his
patrons might not be disappointed in
paying inc reased admission for a
show which he was un fortunately pre-
vented from giving. Helena" the
song and change artistic, however
appeared and, through the courtesy
Of the management, people visiting
the theater were given the pleasure Of
special entertainment at no greater
rate OF admission.

The Best OF Coffee.

The person who is seeking the
brand Of coffee which is best in every
respect, will find that the famous
German-American brand will fully
meet the requirments. The coffee is
raised on $4,000 acre plantation in
the Tumbala range of the Sierra
Madras and is shipped in the hull
direct to the Portland roasting house
where it is hulled, roasted and sealed
in practically air tight packages. In
strength and delicacy of flavor it is
unrivalled. Try it once and you will
be won over completely by its un-
paralleled merits. The German
American brand of coffee can be
secured at only one place in Dallas
and that place is.

Rice to supersede Cotton.

Vicksburg, Miss.-A meeting of planters from the Sunf1ower district resulted in an agreement being signed whereby 1S0,000 acres will be planted in rice next year.
 The action was taken on the report of government experts who found boil weevils in the locality men, toned. Planters declare they have a natural canal of water which can be utilized at little expense, and up- on experimenting with rice this year have found it to be more profitable than cotton.
 This will create large shortage in the cotton crop of the south in 1910.

DEADLY BOILER EXPLOSION.
Seven Persons Reported Killed at
 Mill Maor Ca,odan


 Camden.-Seven persons are re- ported killed and a number injured in a boiler explosion at the sawmill plant operated by the Griffin Lumber company at the small town of Grif- fin, fifteen miles south of Camden.

 Mrs. J. c. Reed. wife of the super intendent of the mill, was among those injured. Two of the injured are believed to be fatally hurt. Ms. Reed was struck by a brick which penetrated the wall of her home.

 Three physicians from Camden were rushed to the scene in answer to telegram for help.
