OLD RECORDS ARE FOUND.
Contain Speech Made by E. D. Baker
in Defense of Union,

Five volumes of the Congressional
Globe, of great historical interest,
were found in an Albany secondhand
store recently. They were issued in
1860 and 1861 and give debates in
congress just preceding and follow
ing the outbreak Of the civil war.
These books were purchased by Will
lard L. Marks, an Albany attorney
The senators from Oregon at the
time the first of these volumes were
compiled were Joseph Lane, who was
one of Oregon's United States SEN
ators, and who is the grandfather of
one of Oregon's present senators,
Honorable Harry Lane and Edward
D. Baker, whose famous speech in
defense of the union is reported in
one of the books. James w. Nes-
NTH of Polk county, and grandfather
of Representative Macarthur, was al
so a United States senator from Ore
gon during part of the time covered
by these records. Lansing Stout was
Oregon S representative in congress
at that time, the entire state having
but one representative.

A Tip For Automobiles.

Speed maniacs would better beware
while within the corporate limits OF
Independence lest they are called up
on to contribute to the exchequer OF
that municipality for their folly. Re-
Gently a special officer, one familiar
with the modus operandi of automo-
bilists because of his long residence
at the metropolis of the state, has
been employed there to catch violat-
ors of the speed ordinance and is
doing lucrative business in his spec
ialty. The townspeople, says dame
rumor, are onto this individual and are
tanner than ordinarily. The explosion
of gasoline in even the most inoffen-
sive motorcycle ages the average au-
tomobilist therefor the new cop has
one of those things which he uses in
connection with his duties.

PUPILS Showing Interest.

That the industrial school fair this
fall will excel all previous undertake
ings in this direction is the expecta-
tion of Superintendent Seymour.
More than ordinary interest is being
manifested in the coming event by the
various schools of the county, and the
responses at the fair will unquestion-
ably be numerous. The campaign to
interest pupils has been under way
since the close of the industrial ex-
hibit one year ago, the superinten-
dent having lost no opportunity to ad-
vance interest among the schools of
the county. Much more space will
be required for the exhibits than in
former years. Those desiring the
premium list should make application
to Mr.. Seymour.

DEATH OF FRANK g. WOODS.
Former Resident of Dallas Passes
Away in Portland Sunday.

Frank C. Woods, aged "a years,
eldest son Of Mrs. B. Lovelace and a
brother to M. V. and l. N. Woods and
Mrs. John Holman of this city, and
J. A. Woods of Jerome, Arizona, died
at the Good Samaritan hospital in
Portland Sunday night of heart trou-
BILE. The remains will be brought to
Dallas today, and the funeral services
will be held at Chapman s undertake
ing parlors tomorrow forenoon at 10
O'Clock. Burial will be in 0ddfel-
lows cemetery.
Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. Woods
was engaged in the drug business in
Dallas, where he had host of
friends, many Of whom still reside
here and who will learn of his pass
ing with profound sorrow. Upon leav-
ing this city a quarter century ago
he engaged in the mining business in
British Columbia, but Portland has
been his home during recent years.
He leaves one son, Gus Woods, whose
home is also in Portland.

ELKs HOLD ANNUAL OUTING.
Antlered Herd Assembled at Cottage
Grove Last Sunday.

A bountiful feed seems to have
been the main feature of the Elk 's
high jinks at Cottage Grove Sunday
where twenty deer and beef fur
nished barbecued meat for about 500
lOdgemen from most of the William
cite valley cities, who report royal
entertainment and a repast too good
for the king. Twenty bushels of
roast corn and fifty gallons of crawfish
added savory relish to the big meal
and novel program of entertain
ment, including racing and boxing
matches, offered digestive influence.
The Eugene lodge was the host at the
party, and among the guests were a
number of Dallas, Independence,
Falls City and Salem Elks. They
tell in subdued tones of other things
that added joy to the feast. All day
Sunday the antlered herd made merry
and left the scene of carnage and
crime reluctantly after extending to
the Eugene brothers hearty vote Of
thanks for their splendid hospitality
and their well managed outing.

THE KAISER GIVEN A JOLT.
Dallas Automobile Party Forces Ger
. man Cavalry to Retreat.

man Cavalry to Retreat.
Until last Friday night the publish
er of The Observer had remained
neutral as regards the bloody conflict
now being waged across the deep
blue, but on that day and date he
dealt the German cavalry a severe
jolt, and came within an ace of bring
ing sudden termination to-some-
thing or somebody. And it was with
out premeditation or malice afore-
thought, too. Enroute by automobile
to the high jinks at Cottage Grove,
accompanied by party of perfectly
good Elks, near the midnight hour
the machine came in contact with a
bunch of war horses while rounding
a turn in the road at Goshen, putting
crimp in one of the animals and
forcing the others to rapidly retreat
far to the rear. There were ten horses
and two pinheads in the war party,
and all were proceeding abreast to
Eugene, where the most intelligent
members were scheduled for shipment
to Germany. After the contact had
taken place Germany was looking for
another sound horse while the auto
mobile party continued its course with
less illumination than it had previous
ly enjoyed. The Kaiser may obstruct
the high seas, but the old fellow can't
obstruct the highways as against a

CIRCUS TENTS PITCHED
AL. BARNES WILL ENTERTAIN
IN DALLAS TODAY,
Within Big Steel-Barred Arena Will
Be Presented Some Thrilling
Scenes.

The AL. G. Barnes three-ring wilC
animal circus arrived in Dallas this
morning and the tents are being
pitched on the fair grounds as The
Observer goes to press. The small
boy is in his glory, throngs watching
the unloading and the other prepara-
tions for the entertainments this af-
ternoon and evening. Depending al
most entirely on trained animals to
attract, the Barnes circus stands
forth as being distinctly different
from others. It's a big, three-ring
circus, however, with huge tents, par
ade glories, bands, clowns, sawdust
rings and general circus festivities,
yet it has none but new features on
its program. Men anw women train
ers vie with one another for the
plaudits of the people, by presenting
death-defying acts with wild animals.
Mile. Florine offers a group of Per-
sian leopards and jaguars; Miss Ma
BILE Stark presents Royal Bengal and
Siberian tigers and Maj. Thornton
has a large number of grizzly and
other ferocious bears.
What is said to be the greatest wild
animal act ever successfully shown
is given by Herr Louis Roth, he hav-
ing "a full grown jungle-bred African
lions assembled at one time. Other
features of especial interest are Tom,
Dick and Harry, juggling, horse-rid-
ing sea lions, Sampson, the aviation
lion, and the barnes troupe of beau
tiful horses and ponies. There are
$50 of them and they are absolutely
unrivaled as to beauty, breeding and
education among the worlds horses.
An especially attractive feature of
the shows program is the street par
ade, which took place this forenoon.
1t was an indication of that which is
to follow, and shows conclusively that
Barnes has added considerably to his
attractions since his visit to Dallas
two wears ago.
