I. O. 0. F. Block,
Mrs. J. H. Dunn has been chosen
Queen of the Woodman Carnival to
be held in Dallas, June 3, 4, 5 and
Alter a close and exciting: contest
which extended over a period of six
weeks, Mrs. Dunn, who is a popular
and talented lady, won out over all
candidates by a handsome plurality,
and will be crowned "Queen Anna
Victoria" on the morning of the open
ing day of the Carnival.
Speculation as to the outcome of the
election was rife up to the time the
final vote was announced, and a large
crowd of people gathered in front of
the bulletin board at Belt & Cherring
ton's drug store Saturday night, and
watched eagerly the progress of the
ballot as the same was given out by
the committee. Miss Laura Brown
was in the lead until shortly after 9
o clock, when 1000 votes were cast
for Mis3 Pearl Percival, bring'
ing the total ballot of the fair
young candidate from Independence
up to 1817. -Miss Brown was still a
close second, being but a few votes be
hind Miss Percival, and her friends
confidently predicted that she would
win out. Their predictions appeared
to be well grounded, for she gained
steadily during the last hour, and
iew mmuies Deiore 10 ociocK was
again several hundred votes in the
lead.
But the great surprise of theevenlng
was yet to come, and it came at the
very last minute. Just as the clock in
the courthouse tower began striking
the hour of ten, a frantic rush of ex
cited voters occurred, and tickets and
gold and silver coins were fairly
showered upon the committeemen
llckets and money representing
thousands of votes found their wav
into the committee's hands within the
space of a half-minute, and those tired
and greatly overworked gentlemen
found another hour's hard work be
fore them to ascertain the final result
They adjourned to the Dallas City
Bank parlors to complete their task,
inviting representatives of the leading
candidates to accompany them and
witness the count. When the outcome
was finally announced, it was found
that the successful candidate was Mrs.
J. H. Dunn, who had to her credit the
handsome total of 3342 votes. Miss
Brown came next with 2939, and Miss
Percival was third with 1817. Scatter
Ing ballots to the amount of several
hundred brought the total vote cast
during the contest up to a total of
10,000.
The pages elected were Harold Mad
ison, who received 507 votes, and
Harold Hart, who received 325 votes.
The pages will receive the price of
their costumes and a season ticket
each to the Carnival attractions. . ,.
Mrs. Dunn left this week for Port
land, where she will purchase her
coronation robes and court dresses.
The Woodmen are now busy making
preparation for crowning their Carol
val Queen, and it is confidently pre
dicted that the coronation ceremony
will be carried out amid a scene of
pomp and oriental splendor never to
be forgotten by those who are so
fortunate as to witness It,

DEEP, RICH PAINTING
Art Work of a High Order Carried
Out in a Style That Appeals To All.
There are beauty spots all over
nature, and there are about as many
that nature never had anything to do
with. These are the creation of man,
pure and simple. About the most
beautiful creation that we have noticed
lately, and in a line to which your
thoughts of the beautiful are seldom
inclined to run, are those handsome
vehicles on exhibition at the repository
of Wagner Brothers, on Main street,
Dallas, Oregon. Those deep, rich
colors in the painting, the piano-like
finish, the soft and elegant trimmings,
the beautiful lines in the designing of
the goods all speak of their unsur
passed quality. 'Tis a well-known
fact among those versed in this class
of goods that the make of vehicles
that they carry Is the best in the
world, and we are told that prices are
extremely reasonable even lower
than would be asked for the same
goods in a New York repository.
. Notice to Bridge Builders.
Notice is hereby given, that the

Brunk bridge and the Thielsen bridge
across the LaCreole river; also, for
repairing what is known as the
Wiiliams or Bagley bridge across the
big Luckiamuta river, and for build

ASK BIQ DAMAGES
Judge Boise and Mrs. Haltock Allege
That Proposed Water-Works
Would Injure Their Property
to Extent of $15,200.
Judge B. P. Eoiaa and Mrs. M. E.
Hallock, through their attorneys,
W. H. Holmes and Sibley & Eakin,
filed their answers in the Circuit
Court, Saturduy, in the action brought
against them by the city of Dallas to
condemn certain lands and water and
rights-of-way for a system of water-
works. J udge Boise alleges that by
the construction and operation of
such water-works he would be damag
ed in the sum of $5,100. He alleges
that on his lands there is a valuable
water power which was used more
than fifty years ago, and that if the
waters in Canyon creek were in
terrupted by means of the diversion
of the amount of water sought to be
appropriated, it would damage him
in the sum of $5,000. He asks $100
for lands and a right-of-way through
his ranch.
For a further defense, he alleges
that the city of Dallas can be supplied
with water by means of the appropri
ation of streams flowing into the
LaCreole below his water power, and
that the same can be brought to
Dallas for domestic and other uses at
a cost of 25 per cent less thuu the cost
of appropriating and bringing to the
city the waters of Canyon creek.
The answer in Mrs. Haliock's case
is along practically the same lines as
that of Judge Boise. She asks for
damages in the sum of $10,100, claim
ing that the taking of water from
Canyon creek would Interfere with
her logging operations as well as her
water power.
The cases will come up for trial be
fore Judge Burnett la this city next
Monday.
