H. V. Gates, an engineer well known
here, was in Portland Monday. He
has been engaged of late in putting
in a gravity water supply for the town
of Dallas, which is to cost about
$35,000, and will be the best in the
state, outside of Portland. The water
comes from the mountains aud Mr.
Gates says, is equally as good as
Portland gets from Bull Bun, which
ia good enough for anybody. The
work ia about three-fourths completed,
and will be finished about April 1.
Such enterprise is very creditable to a

While swinging on the flying rings
at the College gymnasium Monday
afternoon, Norval Gates, the 12-year-old
son of Mrs. D. M. Metzger, fell to
the floor and broke his right arm at
the elbow. The injury is serious, and
it is feared that it will result in a
permanent stiffening of the muscles
of the arm. The little fellow is re
ceiving the best of care and attention,
and is resting as comfortably as could
be expected under the circumstances.

MAY GET SPECIAL TRAIN
Effort Being Made to Bring National
Livestock Delegates to Dallas
Goat Show.
If the plans being worked out by
the managers of the Dallas goat show
are successful, a special trainload of
prominent stock breeders from all
parts of the United States will visit
the coming Angora exhibit in this
city. Only a small guarantee is asked
of the people of Dallas by the Southern
Paciflo Company, and the comnjittee
feel confident that the train can be se
cured. The matter was taken up with
General Passenger Agent W. E
Coman last week, and that official
with his accustomed enterprise and
liberality, has agreed to furnisn
special train from Portland to Dallas
provided 150 tickets at $1.00 each are
sold. No difficulty is anticipated in
disposing of this number of tickets,
and it ia reasonably safe to say that
the excursion will be run and that
Dallas will see one of the biggest and
best days in her history.

LET THE LIGHTS ALONE
Removal of Danger Signals at Street
Crossings Constitutes a
Serious Crime.
While the water mains are being
laid in-Dallas, it occasionally becomes
necessary to close a street to travel
for a few days, and when this is done
lanterns are hung but at night to
warn . persons driving teams to take
some other street and thus avoid driv
ing into the open ditch. This is a
wise and necessary precaution, and it
hardly seem a possible that any per
son would disturb these lights, but it
appears that several times recently
these lanterns have been removed
without the owner's consent. Con
tractor Gates says he does not mind
the loss of the lanterns, as they do not
cost much being bought at wholesale
in large numbers. The contractor
only desires to inform the guilty
persons that the removal of one of
these lanterns at night is a serious
matter in the eyes of the law, and that
whoever has been taking them is
guilty of a grave crime. The law
wisely provides for the erection of
these danger signals, and it also pro
vides a punishment anything but
pleasant for the person who disturbs
them.

Two burglars made a bold attempt
to crack the safe of the Dallas Post
office at 9 o'clock last Friday night,
but were disturbed by the deputy Post
master, who happened to return to the
office after closing hours. One of the
burglars wont t.hrnnwh
window; the other walked rapidly
past the official as he came in, and
disappeared in the darkness. Burglar
tools lay scattered about the floor, but
the safe had not been touched. Noth
ing is missing.
The postoffice closes at 8 p,
Many of the business houses
still open at 9 o'clock, when Deputy
Postmaster Fred Toner entered the
building to attend to some unfinished
business. Owing to a breakdown at
the electric light station, the town was
in darkness, and only a dim lightwas
burning in the corridor. As Mr,
roner entered tne Dunaing, a man
walked rapidly away from the door
and disappeared up the street. Not
suspecting anything wrong, Mr. Toner
paid no particular attention to the
stranger and walked back to the door
of the business office. When he open
ed the door, he noticed that the rear
window was open, and as he stepped
inside he heard a scrambling, and
figure was silhouetted for a moment
by the light from outside as a man
bolted through to safety. Striking a
light, Mr. Toner found a brace, jimmy
and other burglar tools on the floor in
front of the safe, lying in convenient
fashion for the forcing of the de
pository of money and stamps,
black mackintosh coat had also been
left behind when the burglar took his
flight.
Mr. Toner at once notified City
Marshal Grant of the attempted rob
bery, and that officer, spent the re
mainder of the night in what proved
an unsuccessful search for the burg
lars, who had left not the slightest
clue that would lead to a disclosure
of their identity.
Three suspicious looking characters
were hanging around town Christmas
day and were closely watched by the
Marshal, but nothing was discovered
in their actions that could be taken in
any way as connecting them with the
attempted robbery. Postoffice robbers
are seldom caught, and it is altogether
probable that this case will prove no
exception to the rule.
