Turns again home.

initiative measures of the last few
wears had been enacted this state gov
ernment would be nearly perfect }
when in truth the government OF the
state has become one of experiment
and that to the detriment of the peo-
ple who make up the population. .
"Under such circumstance Oh
what practical use is the pledge OF
the candidate for economy IN oiiice
when the voters shift more and larger
tax burdens to themselves? Partlcu-
larly when there are other methods
now provided, for getting the horse IN
the barn. Adoption of one amend
ment proposed would result IN de-
stroying the value of extensive farm
lands in the Willamette valley; would
destroy the value of large investments
in the manufacturing industries, and
would certainly put a large number
of men out of employment who now
patronize and use the avenues OF
trade throughout the state"

PUT UP sIGNBOARDS.
Dallas Should Keep Pace With Neigh
bors in Publicity Campaign.

The principal cross roads IN FOLK
and Marion counties will be decorated
with signboards giving the distances
TO Salem. in the near future, the Com
'mercial club of that city having de-
cided that an expenditure Of few
dollars for this purpose would prove
beneficial to the capital city. The
Dallas Commercial club recently con-
sidered that advisability of perform
ing the same stunt, but as yet moth
ing has been done in the premises.
McMinnville long since put up hun
dreds of signboards throughout the
valley, and stranger automoblllsts
travelling the highways are thus given
the idea that the Yamhill town is the
"whole works" in this section OF the
country. =,
The idea is good one, and should
be acted upon forthwith by the local
organization, thus giving Dallas equal
prominence with its neighbors. Mr.,
Vassall, who not long since made an
automobile trip southwark, called the
attention of the club to the impor-
tance of having indicators at the var.
ious crossroads within fifty miles OF
Dallas, and offered the suggestion that
a number be painted and put out.
The suggestion was considered favor
ably, but up to this time no action
has been taken to carry it into exc
cution.

PLANNING BIG EXHIBIT.
Willamette Valley Association Will
Meet at Salem Tomorrow.

The Willamette Valley Exposition
association will hold a meeting Sat
urday at the Commercial club rooms
in Salem. The plans of the associa-
tion for collecting fruits and vege-
tables to display at the fair are be-
ing rapidly worked out and from the
present indications the Willamette
valley will have the best display at
the San Francisco Exposition that
they have ever displayed at any fair
yet. They are not gathering extreme
ly rare specimens of the different
fruits and vegetables but are collect
ing the best of our staple lines, fruits,
vegetables and grains that are grown
all over the valley and are the rear
wealth producers. The intention is
that the people who are attracted to
this section by this exhibit shall be
people that are looking for a valley
that grows just what they see on ex-
hibit.

ASKS CHANGE OF vENUE|
HIS ATTORNEY WANTS DAVIS
TRIED IN MARION COUNTY.
Motion Contends That Prejudice
Against Defendant Exists in Polk
Preventing Fair Trial.

Application for a change of venue
in the case of Louis Davis was filed
with the clerk of the circuit court
yesterday by Attorney Walter Tooze,
Jr., who is defending Davis, charged
with murder, the ground taken be-
ing prejudice. The affidavit filed in
support of the motion alleges that
petitions addressed to the state peni-
tentiary authorities asking that Dams
be not pardoned or paroled because
of his dangerous character were cir
culated in this county: that the news
papers of Dallas published articles
concerning the first trial which preju-
diced public opinion, and further that
the jury in rendering its verdict also
recommended that the prisoner be
retained in the pentitentiary the full
time of sentence. The motion for the
change of venue asks that trial be
had in Marion county, that being the
nearest county where the defendant
can secure a fair and impartial hear
ing.
The motion will probably be given
consideration by Judge Holmes early
in the session. 1t is not known
whether or not the state will file a
counter affidavit contesting the mo-
ton.

RESEMBLES THE PIED PIPER.
Eastern Oregon Paper Warns Against
Sending Taxes Higher.

Very sensibly realizing that nearly
all the new laws proposed to be enact
ed under the initiative, or by the leg
islature, will add to the burdens of
the taxpayer, the Moro, Sherman
county, Observer, has the following
editorial on the thirty-one measures
that are before the people 1t shows
that not only will they send taxes

destruction of property and indus
tries. 1t says:

affairs and more particularly and in

SLAY A BIG BRUTE. -
Messrs. Collins and Grant Have Ex-
perience en- Newport Road.

While travelling the Newport road
eleven miles from Falls City last Sun
day party of Dallas vacatlonists ran
across a huge animal by the roadside,
and nearby was the following:
"Mountain lion, killed by Grant
and Collins after hard fight; weight
100 pounds if good and fat, but ow-
ing to the condition Of the brute he
won't weigh quite that much" "
The "brute" had evidently given
its slayers a hot fight, for the earth
plainly showed that lively skirmlsh
had taken place, it being torn up for
a distance of several yards in all di-
rections. The animal had been killed
in one of the most lonely spots on
this much-traveled highway, but
whether of not Messrs. Grant and
Collins had been attacked by the rab-
bit the note did not state.

MAKES SENSATIONAL CHARGES
Judge Holmes Alleged to Have Been
DISQUALIFIED in Hotel Hearing.

Sensational charges were made
against Judge Holmes in the argu-
ment of the Tilamook hotel receiver
ship case before the Supreme court
on Monday. 1t was asserted that he
was one of the main figures in an
alleged plan to get the hotel out OF
the hands of the Worrells, that he
owned stock in the hotel company and
was thereby disqualified from acting
as Judge in the case, and that he
cleaimed to have sold his stock day
or so before the receivership hearing,
thereby making himself eligible to act.
"He is back of all this" declared
counsel for the Worrells in his argu-
ment before the supreme court.

U'Ren Declines Nomination.

All campaign activities at prohibi-
tion headquarters, at Portland, in be-
half of w. S. U'Ren. who was the
party's nominee for the Office of gov
ernor, were stopped upon the receipt
from U 'Ren of a letter formally de-
clining to accept the nomination be-
cause of a provision in the law which
prohibits him from running as an in
dependent candidate and also as the
candidate of a political organization.
He was required to make a choice
between the two. and chose to run in
dependently.

HERE'S A
GOOD ONE

In a dictionary published in 1854,
we find this definition of fountain
pen: "a pen made of silver or brass,
contrived to contain considerable
quantity of ink and let it flow out by
degrees. To use the pen, the cover
must be taken off, and the pen little
shaken, to make the ink run more
freely"
All of which goes to prove that
some fountain pen manufacturers have
made small progress in 16O years,
for their pens still have to be
."little shaken" before the ink will
begin to flow.
You never see Conklin user jig
ging and bouncing his pen to get the
ink started. A Conklin writes the
instant it touches the paper.
That IS one of dozen good reasons
why we handle the Conklin pen ex-
clusively.

DALLAS ALSO HAS A JOE
ENTERS FASTNESS OF FOREST
WITHOUT PUBLICITY AGENT.
With Nothing to Eat But Focd, Moth
ing to Wear But Clothes, Preacher
Initiates Knowles.

While Joe Knowles, who is in the
Klamath Forest reserve in Southern
Oregon demonstrating to the world
that it is possible for a nude human
being to dwell in the deep woods oil
the Pacific coast country thirty days
without being fly bitten, Dallas has a
man who is living equally close to
nature, but whose publicity bureau
is not working with such remarkable
rapidity. The Rev. George II. Ben
nett, pastor of the Methodist church
of this city, and one who has spent
years studying the subject of how to
live thirty days in the wilderness with
but a single companion, one suit OF
clothes, eight sacks of pancake flour,
seventeen pounds of bacon, ten pounds
of beans, one can of condensed milk,
a pinch of SALT and fishing outfit
consisting of rod, line, reel, and seven
teen dollars worth of flies and spin
ners, is now in the Siletz country try
ing out his theory that it can be ac-
complished. He is accompanied by
Mr.. Harrington, and when The Ob-
server found their last note, written
on perfumed bond paper with an ink
manufactured in the wilds-of Chica-
go-they were still going, threading
their way through a dense under
growth of salal brush toward the
setting sun. The reverend gentleman
was without anything on his feet ex-
cept shoes and stockings, and wore
nothing except clothes and broad
smile of satisfaction and determine
ton. The note had been left at a
postof1ice, and the postoffice having
been erected upon the ground, the
missive was somewhat defaced by the
canceling stamp. which was also used
by the postmaster as pile driver.
With woodsman S instinct the
preacher was evidently making the
best of it, and with warm blankets
and a blazing campfire he is manag-
ing to keep quite comfortable, al
though he has somewhat bruised his
pent up feelings on the branches of
hard luck.
At last accounts from the front,
Mr.. Bennett was preparing to dig a
pit with his bare hands and shovel
borrowed from a numbering camp, for
the purpose of adding to his food
supply. He will undertake to drive
speckled beauties from the Siletz in
to this pit, and fight them unto death
unattended. He wants to show to
the world how much a minister of the
gospel can accomplish in providing
the inner man with fry without even
the use of dynamite. The weather
is warm and the sun is shining
brightly, principally because it is sum-
mer and there are no clouds. 1t IS
predicted by his manager that he
will emerge from the fastness of the
forest with the trademark of the ever
bearing blackberry upon him as an
evidence that he has really been alb
sent from home. No cougars have
been captured, although one was en-
countered about five years ago in the
Portland museum.
