An Interesting Session at House Last Night. Court At S o’clock last, evening President U 8. Lou^hary called to order a spe cial m eeting of th e Dallas Protective association, called for the purpose of listening to a proposition from Mr. J . R. Cfaven for the betterm ent of our sys tem of doing business. The business interests of the town was largely rep | resented a t this meeting, and it devel o p e d into a most interesting one. Mr. Craven being called upon, gave the au dience a plan th a t seemed to meet the favor of all, he showing by practical examples just how the proi>osition had worked out in Pendleton and U m atilla county, where he was formerly in te r ested in business. His plan consists in giving every man in the county com mercial rating, just as every business man is now rated by the big agencies, such as Bradstreet’s, D unn’s, etc. Pocket books will be printed, contain ing the name and address of every citi zen of the county, with blank leaves for the insertion of new names as they may develope. If a man has property un- I tram elled, and is prom pt in meeting \ bis obligations, be will be given the | first ra tin g ; if be has property and is slow pay, another rate will be given him, if no pro|»erty and still good pay. a certain ra te ; if no property and poor pay, a certain rate, etc., so th a t every m erchant can see at once by consulting his book just bow each m an stands in the eyes of the business comm unity The acceptance of the pro|>osition will do away with the black list and the fine of member« of th e association for tru st ing people on it, vet it will be in as act ual operation as before, for th e reason that if a man is rated say I). no m er chant is going to take the chance of giving him credit and getting left. The new proposition was discussed in all its bearings, and a com m ittee, consisting of G. N. C herrington, W. L. 8oehren and J. R. Craven, appointed to look further into the advisability and coet of estab lishing the same, and to report a t the next regular m eeting oil th e second Monday in February. W. L. Soehren brought up th e m atter of getting better freight rates for our citizens and the having of better depot facilities, etc. After discussion, this m atter was referred to W. L. Soehren, V. P. Kiske and U. 8. Lotighary to confer w ith the Southern Pacific officials and see if som ething cannot be agreed upon in the m atter. The telephone m atter was brought up and thoroughly discussed. This was the result of a rum or th a t there is a possibility of another sw itchboard be- I ing installed here. It was th e sense of the m eeting th at there were about one ! too m any sw itchboards here now, and th a t one of the two should be done away w ith. G. N. Cherrington was ap pointed a com m ittee of one to confer with the representatives of the different rural routes who hold a m eeting here Saturday ami see if some arrangem ents cannot be agreed upon to lessen rather th an increase the num ber of lines now in operation. The m atter of night watch wap brought up, it appearing th a t the pres ent system of handling th e m atter is not entirely satisfactory to all concern ed. The result of the conference on this subject was th a t N. L. Guy and V. P. Fiske were appointed a com m ittee to get up a petition and have it signed by our business men, designating the am ount they will pay to the city coun cil, not the night watch, for this service. The council will then appoint whom thev see fit the m erchants having no sav in the m atter. The am ount due for th is service will be collected by the sec retary of the Protective association when he collects the regular m onthly dues, and the same turned over to the council, they m ailing np whatever dis- orepency there may 1» toward a fair salary for such a purpose.

A pan han dler from the Bowery will have u h arder tim e finding his T hanksgiving dinner *han will a well dressed hobo from tue west. In general, the pan handler has to rem aiu content with the sam e sim ple fare on holidays that he is accustom ed to the y ear through.

The favorite procedure for a great many roadsters is first to beg for money w ith which to buy the m ate rials for a feast and then to cook the meal them selves a t some improvised camp or “hangout.” This Is the g reat delight of a num ber of w estern tram ps. Some days before the holiday Is due they begin to save up th eir spare pen nies for the coming “gorge,” or “scoff,” ns It Is also called. Perhaps there is a party of them together, and they combine th eir forces and funds. Many of them can cook fairly well, and all lend some assistance in pre paring the meal. Ouc atten d s to c ar rying the w ater, another arra n g e s the different purchases so th a t they can be handily reached, while others as sist In making the fire and a ttending to the actual cooking. The men who are not chefs sit arouiul the fire, sm ack their Ups and sw ap stories about the places they were In the year before. Perhaps some man will be reminded of having been In jail the year before. Ho tells about the poor “feed” th a t he received and how he scolded against fate and the law for having sh u t him up on such nn occasion. A nother man will rem em ber how he was in the far west where there was no meal at nil. Still another will recall how he thought of reform ing and had practically made up his mind to go to work when some housewife tem pted him with a fine T hanksgiving “set dow n,” and his good resolutions went to pieces.

At the ailjonnied mooting of th« vitv council Monday evening to hear the in ihod of proeeeilure neceanury under the new law to bond th e city for im provements, the m iih ' was explained by the city attorney, fully and Huceintly, so th at we are now aware juxt w hat ac tion ia neceaaary in a caae of the kind. The m atter niUHt be referred to a vote of the people ut a general election, and it take» about 90 dava to go through the operation. The mayor then called upon the crowd present for an expreae- ion as to w hether thev thought it a d visable to bond th e city for $40,000 to buy Mr. Gates out of th e w ater plan t. Judge N. L. Butler opened the argu m ent with an eloquent plea for m untci- ple ownership even a t the price nam ed and gave figures to show th a t it would prove a paying investm ent. Judge Sib ley followed with a plain statem en t of uncontrovertable facts and more figures upholding Ilia and Mr. B utler’s side oi the question. I)r. McCallon, E. C. Kirkpatrick, Frank Kerslake, Abel Uglow and others took the opposite side of th e question, and a vote being taken resulted very m aterially in th eir favor. This action turns down the w ater plant proposition as far as is now- known, although a petition signed by 15 per cent of the voters may yet be p re sented to the council a t its next m eet ing, as there are many earnest a d vocates of the course. The Item izer would suggest th a t there is one tiling th a t lias been entirely lost sight of in ail the argum ent, auii th at is th a t ns long as we have private ownership we may never expert to have lower w ater rates. W ith m unicipal ownership the lowering of rates would be more th an a probability, as the greater patronage soon to be" derived from the introduc tion of new sewers would still hold the city's income at about what it is now. It may be th a t the citizens of Dallas^ are turning down a goisl thing and one th a t they cannot avail them selves of until the franchise runs out. It is n m atter th a t a little more thought should be put to th an has been a t present. BANK ROBBED. Cracksman are Scared Away Ju st at Right Time. The death of J.

Archie Massey going after the undertaker prevented the consum mation of their plans. The yeggmen had already opened the outer door and posessed them selves of $325 worth of stam ps and several hundred dollars worth of jewelry, and were about to take a shot at the inner vault, which had by th a t tim e been rendered com paratively easy, when Mr. Massey hove in Bight with a lantern.
