WILL BUILD AUTO.
GARAGE
GEORGE CLANFTELD BUYS POR-
TION OF NORRIS PROPERTY.
New Garage is Proposed; MIR. Morris
Plans New Lodging House; Work to
Begin Soon After January 4.

Wednesday a transfer of a portion
of the Reuben Morris property on
Main street, near Oak, was made,
George Clanfield, of Salt Creek, being
tn purchaser, and Mr.. Clanfield will
soon begin the erection of an auto
garage upon his new purchase. Mr..
Morris decided at the same time to
erect a lodging house upon the adjoin-
ing property, and it is understood that
work will begin about January 1, upon
this structure. The lodging house will
contain something like 80 rooms, as at
present planned. The garage Will be
about 5Ox100 feet in size These build
ings are to be built near the Chapman
undertaking parlors, considered to be
an ideal location, and will no doubt
prove valuable acquisitions to the
business institutions of the city.

OUR ADVERTISERS.
(By f. NJ. b

TT is sincerely to be hoped that
Observer advertisers may be BEN
Gifted by these regular hints.
They are intended only to stimulate
careful merchants in carefully prepar-
ing to reach out and gather careful
customers-those who are not Dallas
customers. Every new customer drawn
from an outside territory becomes a
Dallas customer-he is of some good
to the town. Increased business means
increase of advertising space. better
newspapers-a better town. Dallas is
gradually reaching into Portland and
Salem territory for business. 1t is
being done by the careful advertiser,
the judicious handling OF printers ink,
and not by fake schemes. Broadening
of the trade territory will never affect
any town. That's what ! am up to,
Mabel, if you want to know-it's the
business.
A regular and careful advertiser in
forms nae, presenting the necessary
statistics, that Dallas has too many
stores for the size of the territory. To
enlarge the territory seems the only
available remedy

Reorts Show Increase of Nearly $500
For Months of October and No
vember Compared With Last Year.

Receipts at the Dallas postoffice for
the months of October and November,
1912, increased nearly $500 over the
same period in 1911, according to the
report of Postmaster G. G. Coad. AL
though this is considered an encour-
aging showing Postmaster Coad fears
that the year will not total sufficient
receipts to place the Dallas office in
the free mail delivery class, although
it is believed that the mark will very
nearly be reached The figures on
which the class of the office is deter
mined are for the year ending April

months remaining in which to meet
the requirements.

 The slightest symptom of kidney trouble is far too serious to be over. looked. It's tho small, neglected troubles that lead to serious kidney ailments. That pain in the "smsll' of your back; that urinary irreguIarity; those headaches and dizzy spells that weak, weary, worn-out feeling, may be natures warning of coming dropsy or fatal Brishts disease. Why risk your life by negiecting these symptoms? Reach the cause Of the trouble while there is yet ume-be- gin treating your kidneys at once with a tried and proven kidney rem edy.

NELL|S SAYS

All Ans Manager An nounces He Will Seek New Place to Lay Out Polo Grounds" Set Back is Temporary.

Almost tearfully, J. N. Nellis asked. Wont you bet the smokes the baseball park gets the gaff at the council meeting tonight?' I'd rather share that bet than take it, was the reply of the sporting edi- tor, What do you want to make d fool bet like that fOr?"
 Because l never won a bet in my life: don't you think it would help?
 Nenis didn't get his bet, and he hasn't got any more Polk street ball park than a jackrabbit.
 Imagine the scene at the park. Ball players labeled, "All Americans" are in the background heaving boards, welding shOvels, saws. hammers and other stage props of the real labor ing man. When the little Whiskered rarty with Gloomy Gus overcoat ap- pears. a chorus of husky athletes chants. Well little shrimp, who are you." and the shrimp sets 'em on their ears with, I'm the GUY that put nay in neighbors!"

 It's a set back. Both time and money have been expended on that XNril the spirit of baseball be trampled fin the dust. Just you wait, there's some place else, and we'll find it. That is what the intrepid Nellis said when it was known the Polk project has died under the knife of taxpayers indignation, and the an- aesthetic of council order. Where oh where is my little ball park, is the anthem. whose tones rise and fal from the thrOats of a host of fans and echoes through the meeting places of the baseball mad. It is the hard spot in the game. Manager Nellis from the bench orders in z pinch hitter, his financial packers and when the balloon ceases to soar the side of local baseball will score another location, one lar IelnONSt from the unappreciative, and out O the deadly reach of 'whereases' an' therefor be it resolved's."

 The musician, regarding with an absent smile the slow, lazy, graceful dives of a school of pOrpoises in the tumbIing blue water, continued :
 'I had the honor last year of at tending one of Dr. Strauss re- hearsaIs in Munich. It was new symphony, very beautiful, but very bizarre. In the middle of it the com roser rapped his desk impatiently ant called to the double bassOOn:
 "'Why don't you play the F sharE that is marked?'
 The bassoon, a bullheaded sort o fellow. answered:
 Because it would sound wrong that is why
