DALLAS
SCHOOL
IS REMODELED
Building Put Into Condition
Mo Receive Greater Num
ber of Students
DALLAS, Or., Aug. 10 (Spe
cial to The Statesman) The Dal
las high school building s being
remodeled preparatory for the
opening of school for the coming
year. Last year It was found
that there was not quite enough
room to take care of the various
classes and the school board de
cided to make some changes in
the rooms rather than move class
es to other buildings.
It the student body keeps on
growing as It has in the past
few years another high school or
the enlargement of the present
building will have to be under
taken. At present the assembly room
is being changed so that It may
be used as a class room and study
room and the rear balcony has
been entirely removed. The room
previously used by the domestic
science class as a sewing room Is
being divided and made into two
rooms and other necessary chang
es made which will greet the pu
pils upon their return to school
this fall.
'Work on the gymnasium, half
of the; amount which : was voted
by the people of Dallas at a spe
cial election held in June will
not be started this year but with
the full amount which is expected
to be voted next year the board
proposed to construct the build
ing in one year.

SCOUTS
FINE TIME IN GAMP
Letter from Alvin A. Burton,
With the Bunch at
Camp Cascasan
The followins is a letter receiv
ed by his mother, Mrs. Roy Bur
ton, from Alvin A. Burton, who
is among the Salem bunch of Boy
Scouts in camp up in the Cascades
in Linn county:
Camp Cascason, Cascadia, Or.,
Tuesday, 3 p. ia.
Dearest Mother:
I have received the two letters f
you have written me and I have
been a blooming slacker for not
writing oftener but I have been so
busy with an infin'te number o:
things that I tave'n't bad much
time. My. invisible ink wouldn't
work. I am one of the four K.
P.'s today and it sure is one swel'
Job. I worked pretty near steady
from quarter of seven tHl two
lugging water, peeling spuds and
the hundred and one pther things
to be done around a kitchen, and
I am far from done yet. Mr.
Orne, our cook, is a dandy fellow
to work for though, and of course
the K. P.'s have a few extras in
the shape of doughnuts, etc. The
way it looks now there isn't go'ng
to be any guard duty for me dur
ing this camp. I was on third
watch from 1:30 to 3:30 with
Bechtel. Brumfield and Pember
were on the first watch from 9:30
to 11:30. Albany 8cou,ts were to
have taken the second watch and
fourth watches. As it worked out
the first watch didn't wake the
second, or at least they didn't do
it well enough. Consequently the
camp was left wholly unprotected
during the remainder of the
night.
It looks as if the hike to Clear
Lake was all off. The leaders
think that it would be too hard
a trip for some of the smaller
kids. (Coises.) We had a
"snipe hunt" Sunday night. If
you don't know what this is I
will explain, It isn't the same
kind of a snipe hunt that dad
goes on; in fact it is exceedingly
different. Of course in any camp
there are a few fellers who
think that May first is a queen
This hunt consisted of three
bunches of fellows going out in
the woods after campfire each
with one of the aforementioned
fellers. The three uninitiated
ones are each provided wtth a
sack and then taken quite a ways
back In the woods where they ar,e
left with instructions to sit with
the moon over their left shoulder
and the sack held wide open. The
sack holders are told that the
rest of the fellows are beaters who
are to chase the snipe Into the
bags. Instead of chasing the
snipe Into the sack, though, they
lie around In the brush until the
poor, deluded sack holder is
chided for not holding the sack
right; all the blame for not catch
ing any game being placed upon
htm. Naturally a good laugh is
enjoyed by the whole camp at the
expense of the sack holders.
Talking about easy marks some
of those in this camp sure take
the cast Iron bathing suit. One
of them was tent all over the
camp looking for a skirmish line
tied to a tree and another made
two trips to Cascadia after a pie
stretcher.
I swam fifty yards yesterday,
which is one of the requirements
for a first class Scout. That is
Just about the best I can do,
though.
We had a regular Blight vaude
ville act here last night around
the camp fire. Some of the kids
mad a grass pants out of ferns and
shook the shimmy for us. Mr.
Leon Jennison, our singing direc
tor get it tip. "Jenny" sure ia
one swell singer, too.
Last Sunday a few of ns went
up the river a ways. It sure is
pretty up there. There are plac
es on the other side of the
stream where regular caves have
been hollowed out of the rock by
the water. On the way back we
took in the Indian caves. They
aren't much, though, just a little
depression in the rocks with a few
funny looking figures around.
There are some names around
that some fools have carved in
the rock and the figures have all
been chalked over. There's no
telling how many, if any, are
genu'ne.
I have been doing some work In
signalling and as soon as I get
time I'm going to take some tests.
The rest of the kids are out
taking drill now, but as I am K.
P., I get out of it.
We cure have a swell (literally)
t'me three times a day when we
sample (do not take literally)
Mr. Grne's products.
Vou will have to excuse the
writing, as I tm doing it in a
hurry.
ALVIN A. BURTON.
P. S. I have a confession to
make. As a special privilege I
received 1-2 cup of coffee today.
Being K. P. is good for something.
The kids Ordinarily don't get cof
fee; they get cocoa.

Mr. Thayer said, and no immed

financing probably would be ar
ranged to provide additional work

Sugar Beet Crop Will
Be Heavy This Year
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 9.
The sugar beet crop in Utah and
Idaho this year is expected to
average between 12 and 14 tons
per acre, compared with 10 tons
in 1921, according to reports
compiled here. The total ton
nage, however, will be smaller
than last year because of a lesser
number of acres planted.
The 1922 Idaho production is
estimated at 260,000 tons, or
120,000 tons under 1921. The
acreage planted in Idaho shows
a decrease of approximately 20,
000. Prevailing sugar beet contracts
in Idaho are for $5.50 per ton,
and in Utah, $5.
Samoan Chiefs Ready to
Submit to New Zealand
PAGO PAGO, American Samoa.
July 17. (By Mail.) The Sam
oan chiefs of British Samoa have
expressed themselves at a meeting
as ready to submit to the rule of
New Zealand without further com
ment, as a result of an improve
ment of feeling between the
chiefs and the New Zealand gov
ernment in the past six months.
This, reconciliation, however,
has resulted In expressions of dis
pleasure by a number of the white
residents who are still continuing
opposition to the New Zealand
An important step forward was
taken in the Salem Y. M. C. A..
at the monthly directors' meeting
Thursday, Vhen the board author-
i7ed the employment of Mead El
liott of Seattle as Boys' work sec
retary, on full time.
Last year, in addition to having
Boardman as physical director
and general superintendent of
boys' work, the local Y had the
part-time services ot Lester Day,
of Willamette. But tfce work has
grown bo rapidly, that the old
force couldn't handle 'it; the
hours weren't long enough. . So
this year, even in the face of fi
nancial instability, the directors
felt that they couldn't fail to put
on a little more force to care for
the boys.
Is Pacific Graduate.
Mr. Elliott is a graduate of Pa
cific university, a classmate of
Ross Miles of Salem. He has been
for three years with the boys' de
partment of the Seattle Y, where
he has established a real reputa
tion. He has been sought for a
number of other associations, but
in talking it over with interna
tional Y officials, he was told that
in Salem he would have a little
bk the best chance and to get in
to big work in a small city. He
and his wife -wanted to go to a
smaller place, where they could
know more folks by their front
names; and the counsel of the Y
man who recommended Salem,
brought him here.
Seattle Work Effective.
A ratheru curious coincidence
is that last year, when T. E. Mc
Croskey, chairman of the boys'
committee of the Salem Y. direc
torate, visited Seattle, he was es
pecially struck with the excellence
of the work done by Mr. Elliott,
and told of it on his return. It
was one of the things that brought
about the engagement at this time,
though Mr. McCroskey had for
gotten Elliott himself until he was
introduced again here this week.
Mr. Elliott will handle especi
ally the service membership work,
among the younger lads of gram
mar" and high school age. He
starts his work here September 1.
It happens that of all the capable
Willamette Y graduates of 1922,
four of whom have already been
placed, all wanted to take np big
city work, while Elliott wants to
come to the smaller town. Lester
Day Is already iu Boston and Ben
Rlckll and; Everett Craven are
both in Portland.
