DALLAS, Or.. April 8. (Special.) A most Interesting' and at the same time perplexing situation now confronts the city of Dallas. In 1S10 the City Coun- 11 adopted an ordinance which was known generally as a "model license liquor ordinance, in which provision was made for the issuance of one saloon license for each 1000 inhabitants or "major" fraction thereof residing within the city. The census of 1910 gave Dallas a population of 2124. and under the ordinance only two saloon icenses were granted. Prior to tne city election in 1913 i was deemed by many that Dallas should have more than two saloons, and that to grant only two licenses was creating a monopoly. With this idea in mind, a hard campaign was fought and a Council known to be In favor of a third saloon was elected. Immediately on being sworn In, the new Council considered the application for an additional license, and a week later the application was granted. Be fore the license could be issued, Wal ter J. Coy brought an injunction sui to restrain them from issuing the thii- license, joining with him as a party plaintiff the state of Oregon. Taking the stand that the Coun 1 was the exclusive judge of how many people there were in Dallas for the purposes of this ordinance, the third saloon was permlted to open. Koon after the injunction was issued the Council passed an ordinance amend ing the "model license ordinance mat tne word major Traction wa changed to read for each 1000 or frac tion thereof. Before the 30 days allowed by law had expired a referendum petition wa tiled against this new amending ordl nance, asking that the ordinance be referred to a vote of the people at the anuual election, which was held Mon day. At the election this amending ordi nance was turned down by almost a two-to-one majority, leaving the "mod el license" ordinance, with its. provis ion for the Issuance of one saloon license for "each 1000 or major frac tion thereof of inhabitants residing In the city in force. The effect of this being in a way a vote against the third saloon, the question that now presents itself is. What will the Council do In the premises? It is not believed that anything will be done before the ex piration of the license issued. ' which will be in July of this year. However, at Monday's election it is understood now many who favored the third sa loon and who desired to sustain the Council's action and adopt the amend ing ordinance voted "no." thinking that the question was. "Shall the referen dum be sustained?" rather than, "Shall the ordinance be adopted?' STORAGE EGGS APPROVED Idaho Vniversity Professor Has Mctliod for Preservation. MOSCOW. Idaho. April 8. (Special.) The storage egg. which is. per haps, the most friendless article ot diet on the American market, has found a loyal friend in Professor Pren Moore, head of the poultry Jeparnent at the University of Idaho. It is not he storage es:g most commonly seen. but the one which is properly stored that he refuses to condemn. Professor nloore's method of storage. the water-glass method, Is not in aa common use as are some of the older and less successful methods of egg preservation. Eggs packed .in water- glass. 1 parts water, boiled ana then cooled, and one part water-glass, says Professor Moore, will retain for many months their natural appearance and flavor. 'Much of the trouble with storage eggs, says Professor Moore, "arises from the fact that the eggs are stale when packed.

"stock Completely Sold That will express the condition of affairs as regards the new Encyclopaedia Britannica in a very few days. Meanwhile immediate delivery following receipt of order can be promised, but at the present rate at which the work is selling, the stock on hand will not last longer than the 21st of April. IN the case of most things that you needand are thinking of buying, it is possible to assume the leisurely attitude and rest upon the comfortable assurance that "some day" will do just as well as today. Unfortunately, this does not apply to things for which the demand is greater than the supply. Eight times it has been necessary to print the new Encyclopaedia Britannica, and some 16 presses have been constantly running for more than two years. Very soon there will be a shortage of stock, due to the announcement that the present extremely favorable prices can no longer be continued. The daily volume of business has doubled within a month, because many of those who have been promising themselves that they would buy the work "some day" have decided to translate intention into action and are registering their orders now, so as to be certain of immediate delivery of the books. $5.00 in Cash.

In England the prices were increased on December 20th last, and the work is now selling there at the advanced prices, but owing to the much larger territory to be covered in this country and in Canada an extension was granted by the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press until May 28th.

A BOOK FOR EVERYBODY ON TERMS FOR EVERYBODY THE new Encyclopaedia Britannica is not a rich man's book, but it is a book primarily for all ordinarily intelligent per sons of moderate means. If it were published for the rich only a very few copies would be sold, the venture would not yield a profit, and the price for a set would run into thousands of dol lars. At such a price its publication would serve no useful pur pose. It would, in fact, defeat the very object for which the book was originally designed, namely, the dissemination of useful knowl edge among all classes of the public The contents of this new 11th edition, as of all previous editions since the first (Edinburgh, 1768), have to do with the vast body of essential knowledge upon which the activities of our busy world in every direction are based.
