Dallas The second annual Harvest Festival and School Fair will be held here on Thursday, Friday ad Saturday, October 3. 4 and 5. This was decided upon at a meeting of the Dallas Com mercial Club held In thl city recently, and a committee on preliminary ar rangements was appointed. Last year this fair was given during the hop picking season, and this fact injured It success. However, It Is believed this year that thl festival will be one of the best event of the season. It will be larger and better than last year and will be advertised much more. It Is plauned to have a Salem and Portland day, and to have a special tralu run from Portland to accommo date the Portland visitors. Upon this day the Chamber of Commerce of Port land and the Salem It.iard ot Trade will be Invited to furnish i.rnn speak er for exercNe. to be held. It Is be lieved that the Portland Chamber of Commerce will be Interested In this, for the members who visited Dallas during the Winter with the business men's excursion were favorably Im pressed with thl city. The Commercial Clubs of Independ ence and Falls City will be asked to lend their aid this year to make this the biggest affair ever held In Polk county. The County Court has appro priated a liberal amount of money for it, and the Dallas Commercial Club has authorized an expenditure of $1,0"0 to make It a success. AGATE CARNIVAL IS HELD.

Tlcheni r. of Portland, for the best display of agates. Mr. Tlchenor suggested the Idea of an sate carnival to the Commercial Club here last year which was adopted and will he made an annual feature. He has also suggested tb3 billding of an agate pa'ace to Include hall of the same material for Oregon Sons, and this has been unanimously adopted by the Commercial Club. It will be built in time for the next, or third annual agate carnival. Port Orford has the best aeate beaches on the Pacific Coast, hut owing to the Inaccessibility heretofore the outside world has not known it. This year the ball game, foot races, horse raceg and athletic events created great enthusiasm and all agree that this was the biggest and best celebration ever held in Curry county.

Rogue River Valley fruit growers are hold ing their crop as long as possible In the hope that better price will pre vail. The pears are sizing beautifully and unless extreme heat sets In they can remain on the tree for at least another week. The Southern Pacific I anticipating the picking and has 19 cars on the side track ready for Immediate transpor tation. One carload from the Daggert ranch has already been sent East and It Is planned to forward It from there to Uverpool. This Is the first time that a carload of pears have been sent abroad from Medford. Dallas Considering Paving, Dallas An effort Is being made to set the business section of the city paved with hard-surface pavement. This city has spent thousands of dol lars to macadamize its streets, and nearly every street has been macadam ized. However, the macadam upon the principal street? that was put in first will soon need repairing, and a great many of the citizens are urging the construction of hard-surface pavement to take it place.
