Will Organize Fine Concert Orchestra. Verne Bartlett will organize the con cert band which he has planned for this city as soon as he can secure enough men to begin practising. Mr. Bartlett is a skilled director and thoroughly acquainted with all cf the important instruments that go to make up a band. It is his purpose to begin with the rudiments and lead up rapidly and directly to the more Intri cate music, and he maintains that he will be able to have the band playing the higher class of compositions with in two' months after beginning his instructions, even though half of the bandmen were practically ignorant of music when they started in. Mr. Bartlett has secured the agency for the instruments put out by the Holton Instrument House, and will be able to furnish Instruments to the band men at the lowest possible rates either on cash payments or on pay ment of monthly installments. Those desiring to join this band may communicate as soon as possible with Mr. Bartlett.- Those who already play band instruments will be especially desirable for membership, but prev ious knowledge of music Is not abso lutely necessary and the organization will be open to all who desire to join. The band will consist of 28 pieces and will be made up as follows: four cornets, five B-flat clarinets, four sax ophones, oboe, bassoon, baritone, two basses, four melaphones, two slide trombones, E-flat clarinet, flute and piccolo and two drums. A fruit cannery ror Dallas is now practically assured. The Horticul tural Society, after hearing the report of the cannery committee at its called meeting Saturday afternoon decided at last to establish this industry inDal las, and instructed the committee to begin soliciting forthe sale of stock in the company which will be organized Immediately. The purpose of the association is to make the enterprise purely local and to sell stock only among the fruit raisers of Dallaand vicinity. In this way a double interest in the success of the cannery will be assured that of the farmer seeking a constant and ready market for his produce, and of the business man laboring for the benefit of the company In which he hold3 shares of stock. The plan has met with the ready approval of all, as Is shown by the fact that the fruit men who were approached on the subject, subscribed a sum of nearly $400 before the close of the same day in which it was decided to organize the company and build a cannery. The committee has continued the work of solicitation with unceasing diligence and uniform success during the past two days, and It Is believed that a sufficient sum will be subscribed before the end of the present week. O. H. Cobb has offered to turn over his wagon shop in North Dallas to the company to be converted Into a can nery building. If his proposition is accepted this will make an idea! loca tion, as it is situated near the rail road, and It will be an easy matter to load the produce upon the cars for shipment direct from the cannery. It is also proposed to build a pack ing and finishing house in Dallas for the handling of the enormous prune crop of this locality, as weil as the packing of apples and other fruit for shipment to the Eastern markets. PRETTY FAWN EXHIBITED Pet Deer Belonging to Oakdale Boy Attracts Much Attention at Goat Show. Old-time residents of Polk county will be grieved to learn of the death of Dr. L. L. Rowland, whith occuried In Salem last Saturday. Dr. Rowland came to Oregon in 1844, and settled in Polk county. He helped to organize BHbel college, and was afterwards President of the Christian college at Monmouth. He waa Oregon's first Superintendent of Public Instruction, and served as Superintendent of the Insane Asylum for four years. Dr. Rowland was a good man, and had many warm friends throughout the state. One ot the most interesting exhibits at the Goat Show, although it could be classed with none of the entries of domestic animals, was a 6-months-old fawn entered bv L. M. Dennis, a son of O. E. Dennis, residing near Dallas, The little animal was a trifle larger than a goat, and beautifully formed, It was perfectly tame and crowded up close to the wall of its pen to receive the caresses from the hands of the throng that crowded around to look at it. Although no prize had been offered, the judges decided that it was only fair that it be awarded a blue ribbon, and throughout the remainder of the 6how the fawn wore its decoration with the grace of one born to patrician rank. It was caught .when very 6mall carefully raised by hand, and has now developed so great an affection for its young master that it would, if permitted, follow him everywhere with the persistency of Mary's lamb, cele brated in the verses of the famous nursery rhymester. Cass Riggs returned from a trip to Bellingham, Wash., last wek. He says business is not so lively in the Sound country as in Oregon. He reports Frank Gibson to be slowly ImDrovinsr from a long and serious illness of pneumonia at his home In Bellingham. Hon. G. W.

SalficKy, Prop. Electricity for Lighting Is only expensive to people who are wasteful and careless. To you, who are naturally careful, it does not come high. , v It is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than electric light, but does it save you anything when it limits op portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals butitwouldn t be economy. It is not so much what you save, but how you save that counts. , . WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.
