D. P. A. MEETING.
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

A g reat deal depends on the kind of
man who wishes to take part In the
feasting, wrote the late Joslah Flint
In Good Housekeeping.
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.
T he well dressed and skilled beggur,
on the other hand, expects and looks
for delicacies on fete days. lie may
have to look a long while before he
finds all th a t he thin k s he is entitled
to, but the genuine seeker perseveres
until he believes th a t be has cele­
brated the day as a man of his parts
should.
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.

SENTIMENT AGAINST.;
People at Adjourned Council Meet­
ing Turn Down Proposition.
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. W right a t A m itv on
Wednesday m orning prevented the loot­
ing of the bank a t Amity and the loss
of several thousand dollars to th a t in ­
stitution. 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. He was ordered to halt
or to be shot, but took to his heels, and',
it was not long before he had the whole?
