and undoubtedly will, have the sup
port of every progressive citizen.

The formal dedication of the splen-
did new Dallas Armory and the turn
ing over of the building to the state
which takes place next week on the
occasion of the meeting of the Ma
tional Guard association here, marks
an epoch in the advancement Of Dali
las and Polk county. In all oregon
there is no better edifice for the uses
for which it is intended than this
new building, and every citizen of
Polk county takes a pardonable pride
in it, and is animated with spirit
of thankfulness for the enterprise
and the ability displayed by every
one who has taken part in the Sc
curing of the appropriation from the
state and, afterward, in contributing
to the construction Of the building.
Dallas now has, not only a home for
her militia company, but also
building in which all large gather
ings may be held. Heretofore The
Observer has had occasion to call at
tention to the fact that Captain Wal
ter L. Tooze, of company G, was
largely instrumental in securing this
building While others have helped,
it was Captain Tooze who persevered
when failure was predicted, and who
the proposition at Salem
and worked night and day for the
needed appropriation. With the ut
most confidence in the progressive
ness of the people of Dallas and Polk
he assured the members of
the legislature that this city and
county would meet the state half |
way in the construction of build
ing which would not only be credit
10 the state and the National Guard,
Dut to the community, as well How
we'll he succeeded is emphatically
shown in the fine new building to be
dedicated next week, and this news

The weekly "get-together" lunches
of the Salem board of trade are hav-
ing beneficial results and the plan
has already become very popular. The
Dallas Commercial club could employ
no better scheme to promote har-
mony and good feeling and, at the
same time. increase the popularity of
the organization than by the adopt
ion Of the plan. II is worth consid-
ering anyway.

Dallas people will have an oppor-
tunity next week to extend the hand
of hospitality to the visiting mem
bers of the Oregon National Guard
association, and that they will be
welcomed to the city and made to
feel at home Is apparent to all ac-
quainted with the spirit of warm
hearted hospitality which prevails
here. The securing of state gather
ings of every kind is much to be de-
sired and these meetings can be made
of value if the visitors are welcomed
and entertained, and sent away with
the best wishes of the new friends
they have made. The members of
the National Guard association come
from all portions of the state and
are a representative class of men.
Many of them are leading citizens
of their communities and some hold
positions of trust in city and county
official life. 1t is therefore up to
the people of this city to give them
a warm welcome and make them
realize that Dallas is a wide-awake
community, and is pleas
ed with the opportunity offered to
meet and greet these representatives
Of the states citizen soldiery.
