New York, Sept. 30.-John A. Dix
is so years old, having been born in
Glens Falls, N. Y, in 1860. He re-
ceived his early education in home
schools and was graduated from Cor
nell University in 1882. His business
career he began as a member of the
firm of Reynolds & Dix, marble deal
erS, and later was associated with a
lumber firm. In 1889 ne married Miss
Gertrude Thomson, the daughter of a
lumber merchant.
In politics Mr.. Dix first became
prominent as chairman of the Demo-
cratic county committee of Washing
ton county, position which indirectly
led to his forming a county chairman
organization, in which he strove for
more power for the chairman as
against the state committeeman.
Two years ago, with Lewis Stuy-
vesant Chanler as the head of the
ticket Mr.. Dix was the Democratic
nominee for the lieutenant governor
ship. but the ticket was defeated
Mr. Dix is interested in the lumber
operations at Herkimer, president of
the Iroquois Pulp & Paper Co. at
Thomson; associated with the Moose
River Lumber Co. at McKeever; vice
president of the Blandy Paper Co. at
Greenwich; director in the Albany
Trust Co, Glens Falls Trust Co, Ma
tional Bank of Schulyerville, Stand
ard Wall Paper. CO., Hudson Falls &
Adirondack Trust Co, at Saratoga
Springs and treasurer of the Ameri-
can Wood Board CO., at Thomson.
AT the Buffalo convention in 1906 at
which the Democrats nominated Hearst
Tor governor, Dix received II votes for
governor. He refused to recognize
Hearst's nomination and bolted the con-
vention.
The Democratic party he said at the
time. lis passing through an ordeal the
most daring and most disastrous in it's
history, but from the shock received in
the Buffalo convention it is plainly evil
dent and organization insiNew York City,
which shall represent Democracy and not
demagogism, must and will be created. I
shall remain true to Democratic princi-
pies, but cannot vote for Hearst
Last June Mr.. Dix succeeded William
j. Corners of Buffalo as chairman of the
Democratic state committee Since that
time and almost up to convention time
he had been touring the state in the in
terests of the party, interviewing county
leaders and ascertaining the gubernato-
rial sentiments. Returning to New York
not long ago he spoke of a decided Gay
nor feeling and with this utterance be-
came one of the first official Gaynor
boomers.
Early gossip In the convention over
looked Dix entirely and 1t was not mntil
last night his name was mentioned prom
inently, publicly at least, as the possible
head of the ticket Interviewed last night
he declined positively to be considered
and it was not until tonight that he con-
scented to run.
AS far back as 1872 John A. Dix. a
cousin of the present nominees father
was governor of New York, so that if
elected Mr.. Dix will be the second of his
| family to be chief executive of the state.

COLUMBIA PARK BOYS
MAKE A DECIDED SUCCESS

The Columbia Park boys OF San
Francisco, who appeared at the
Grants Pass opera house last Friday
evening, gave Thoroughly good per-
formance, clean and up-to-date in
every particular. The band as a
whole was exceptionally good and
the speclaltIes proved them to be
masters Of their profession, On ac-
count Of the lack OF early advertising
many did not know of the band until
their arrival, but open air concerts
secured the presence of all who
heard them play on the streets. The
boys appeared under the auspices Of
the Grants Pass athletic club, the
club receiving a certain per cent Of
the proceeds, which, after all ex-
penses were paid, netted the athletic
club the neat sum Of $27, On their
trip through here next year the boys
will bring bunch of Australian boys
with them, and all who attended the
performance last Friday evening will
be sure to be on hand next time.

Last Sunday afternoon the fire.
quenters of the Riverside park were
given a genuine treat by the Grants
Pass band, which rendered an en-
joyable musical program during the
afternoon The park itself Is a de-
cided luxury. on a hot afternoon, as
It Is located on the banks OF the river,
the breeze Is always cool and refresh
ing, and many boats are at the dis
posal OF the public at a nominal cost.
When In addition to all this one can
sit under the trees or in the swings
and listen to delightful music, there
can be no reason why any one should
complain. Instead one should throw
off dull care and enjoy to the utmost
the many advantages which this de-
lightful retreat affords for a day of
perfect rest and enjoyment It is
to be hoped the band will keep the
good work going, as their program
was immensely popular last Sunday.
