The notions brought by tho City of Dallas against Mrs. M. E. Hallock and Judge R. P. BoLso to appropriate a right-of way und cortuin water and water rights was tried before Judge Burnett this week. The trials lasted throe days, and aroused a considerable amount of interest. Mis. Hallock claimed that tho appropriation of GOO.OOO gallons of water from Canyon Creek daily would damage her in the sum of $10,000. She also claimed $100 for a right-of-way through her lands. The jury, after making an inspection of her premises and hearing tho evi dence, decided that the amount asked was far in excess of tho actual damngo that would be caused by tho appropri ation of such rights, and returned a verdict for ffioo. Judge Boise who claimed damages in tho sum of $5,100 was awarded $51 by tho jury. Tho defendants wore represented by W. II. Holmes, of Salem ; Sibley & Httkin and N. L. Butler, of Dallas. Win. T. Muir, of Portland, apjieared as attorney for the city. Tho jury was composed of repre sentative citizens of Polk county, and gavo both cases tho most careful con sideration. The defendants received full justice at their hands, and the city is satisfied with tho result. It is hoped that Dallas will bo put to no further expensive and vexatious de lays, and that the council will now be allowed to go ahead with tho importa nt work of supplying tho city with a system of water-works.

IwlUli CUbUtin U4il.il llio iKki liU BELT & CUERRINGTON n n n TRACK IS COMPLETED Trains Are Now Running; Between Dallas and i ails City. 'i'ho track-laying crew of tho Dallas and Fulls City railroad is at work in the edge of tho latter town this morn ing, and tho first train will run into tho depot tonight. The turntable is ready for use, and tho depot building is nearing completion. The road is now ready for business, and active freight and passenger traffic will be gin next Monday. General Manager George T. Gerl inger informs us that the new pass enger coach is expected to arrive next Monday night, and ho hopes to be able to begin passenger service in time for tho Dallas Street Fair and Carnival. The new coach is roomy and comfortable, and will accommo date a largo number of people. A sto&m-shovel having a capacity sufficient to load 50 cars of gravel daily has been ordered, and will be put in operation at once. Every foot of the track will be thoroughly ballast ed, and the road will be made a model ono in every respect. The gravel will be taken from the bod of tho Luckia muto near the bridge, and the work of ballasting the track will last about 30 days. The completion of this road marks an important epoch in the history of Polk county, and its influence will be powerfully felt in all succeeding time. The people of Dallas and Falls City have worked long and earnestly to es tablish rail connection between the two points and to open up tho vast forosts of the Luckiamute and Siletz. Tho benefits that will be dorived can not bo overestimated. Both towns will eventually become sawmill centers of great importance, and all tho country lying between will be brought to a high state of development. Louis Gerlingcr, the enterprising Portland capitalist, who has built and equipped the road with his own money, is entitled to tho loyal support and hearty co-oporatiou of every citizen in his endeavor to build up Polk county and dovolop its vast resources. The influonco and friendship of such a man is worth having, for, whilo it has meant much in tho past, it means in finitely more in tho future The peo ple of Dallas who subscribed to the small subsidy asked which was a more fraction of the cost of the road are rejoiced that Mr. Gerlinger was enabled to complete hi8 road within tho time named in tho contract, and will pay their subscriptions promptly and cheerfully, knowing full well that overy dollar paid to the road will be returned to thorn an hundred-fold in tho benefits that will accrue. Georgo T. Gerlingor, the rosident mauagor of the road, is a young gentleman of splendid business quali fications and is courteous and obliging in his relations with all. In addition to his office duties, ho had active chargo of all tho construction, work, and his workmen found him a kiud and reasonable employer. With Mr. Gerlinger at the General Manager's desk, tho road will bo in good hands. No better testimonial to tho skill and efficiency of Chief Engineer J. W. Coovort is needed than the road itsolf. Constructed on strictly modern lines and in tho most substantial manner, it is excelled by no railroad in the West. Mr. Coovort had chargo of all the field work, and his duties wero per formed faithfully and well. And whilo tho peoplo of Dallas are rejoicing over the completion of the railroad and are congratulating Mr. Gerlingcr on the successful termina tion of his work, they do not forget John Talbott, whoso years of untiring effort finally resulted in bringing the project to tho attention of men of capital. No man over worked more unselfishly and unceasingly than did Mr. Talbott for tho building of this road, and he will always be remem bered for his energy and enterprise Now, that tho railroad is completed, tho people of Dallas will take a few days off and enjoy tho Carnival. Then they will turn their attention to water-works and novor rest until a part of Canyon Creek is brought to tho city and every home is supplied with pure, cold, mouutain water. That is tho kind of peoplo they are. COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM Exercises at Dallas College Will Be gin June 11. June 11, 8:00 p. m. Annual meet ing of tho Homo Literary Society. Juno 12, 8:00 p. in.

Tho largest sum ever paid for a pre scription, changed hands in San Fran cisco, August SO, 1901. The transfer in volved in coin and stock $112,500.00 and was paid by a party of business men for a specific for Bright's Disease and Dia betes, hitherto incurable diseases. They commenced the serious investi gation of tho specific Nov. 15, 1900. They interviewed scores of the cured and tried it out on its merits by putting over three dozen cases on the treatment and watching them. They also got phy sicians to name chronic, incurable cases, and administered it with the physicians for judges. Up to Aug. 25, eighty-seyen per cent of the test cases were either well or progressing favorably. There being but thirteen per cent of failures, the parties were satisfied and closed the transaction. The proceedings of the investigating committee and the clinical reports of the test cases were published and will be mailed free on ap plication. Address Johj J.
