who otherwise might not see or think
about it at all and would incite them
to contribute.
The people of these Islands have a
high reputation for liberality, but on
this occasion they do not seem to be
acting up to their high standard OF
the past, which, | am sure, is not SO
much on account of parsimoniousness
as of thoughtlessness.
And when We think of the pros
perity Of the people of these Islands,
where many a man could himself give
without feeling it, more than so far
has been given by the entire popula-
ton, we feel that something more
could be done for the relief of these
unfortunate people.
Indeed, there is every hope now
that the people here will not only
rise to the occasion, but will set an
example of liberality to the rest of the
world.

BIG ORDER NEARS FINISH
But Half Million Left of Order For
100000 Feet For Pullman Car
Company; Mill to Increase Capac-
ity to 100000 Feet During Annual
Winter Shutdown.

Maintaining an average of over
$1,000 feet day for six days, the big
plant of the Dallas Lumber and Log
ging company last week succeeded in
establishing one of the largest con-
tinuous runs in its history, and work.
ed up to the full capacity of the mill.
No attempt was made to equal or sur
pass former records, and only the
usual force was employed in the usual
way. But everything was favorable
for a big run, with the result as
noted.
The company is now busily engaged
in filling it's share of the large order
sent by the Pullman company to Ore
gon lumber mills last spring. The
local mill contracted to deliver about
100000 feet OF the finest quality of
fir for this order, and kept well up
with the work until, at the present
time, it has only about a half million
yet to cut to finish the order The
specifications call for only the best
grades of fir, and all of it ranks bet
ter than Common 1t is used by
the Pullman company in the con-
struction of cars of all kinds, exhaust
i've experiments having convinced the
company that nothing is better for
their purpose than Oregon fir.
To Make improvements.
An extensive system of improve
ments is contemplated by the com
pany during the coming winter, ac-
cording to Manager George Gerlinger.
The mill will probably be shut down
for two or three weeks Immediately
after the first of the year, to permit of
the work being done. Some new ma
chinery will be added and general
changes in the plant are contem-
plated. 1t will be still further inn
proved and brought up to date, with
the idea of increasing its capacity to
at least 100000 feet daily All lum-
ber mills usually shut down following
the Christmas holidays, for various
periods, to make improvements and
overhaul and repair the
plants and the Dallas company pro-
poses to take advantage of the shut
down to increase the efficiency of the

from the decision of the justice court
in the action wherein he sued John
NJ. Grant as sheriff, and Arthur Ba-
ker for forcible entry and detainer.

selton. Wright claims that the
sheriff had no right to attach the
property upon which he has first
claim as landlord for alleged unpaid
rent The appeal has been brought

Portland Business Man Visits Dallas

Thursday. October 10.

Blazing the way for Charles Fl.
Shields, secretary of the Oregon Ed
ual Taxation league, r. S. Alexander,
a well known business man of Port
land was in Dallas Friday.
Mr.. Alexander has stolen away
from his business interests in Port
land to make arrangements for a
speaking tour in Western Oregon for
Mr.. Shields who is expected to hold
a meeting here on Thursday, Octo-
Der 10.
81 represent" said Mr.. Alexander,
"an organization of at least 10000
farmers and business men of the state
of Oregon. These men have aligned
themselves together to combat a po-
litical scheme being put forward by
a millionaire, Joseph Fels, an Oregon
City lawyer. w. S. U'Ren, and a num-
ber of paid hack writers in Portland
and known as Single Tax.
This scheme is a device that orig
mated many years ago in the mind
of Henry George who declared that
his intention was to so tax the land
that II would all be cOnfiscated TO
the state"
Mr.. Alexander went on to say that
the ultimate end Of single tax and
graduated single tax, as the measure
is known in Oregon. was bound to
be confscation OF the land. It would
take from the farmer his farm, from
the lot-owner his lot. and from the
home-owner his home. by imposing
a severe and heavy form Of taxation
lnovrn az single tax This would be
so heavy because all improvements
OF every kind from the millionaire
with his 15-story building in Port
land. down the line, would escape
taxation.
