Dallas will soon have a third rural
telephone line. The farmers of Smith
field and Polk Station are now mak
ing preparation for direct communi
cation with the county seat, and will
soon have their line in operation. The
Smithfield company and the company
building into town from the South
will use Oregon phones, and will con
nect with the city central office, thus
practically becoming a part of the
local exchange which includes about
125 instruments. The Salt Creek line
is operated by an independent
company, and as yet has no central
office in Dallas, although one may be
put in later on. These rural telephone
lines are a great convenience to the
farmers and a good thing for Dallas,
and the Observer hopes to see the
time when they will stretch out in
every direction like a spider web.

stock of Fall goods, the Bee Hive
store will be completely remodeled.
Carpenters will begin work in a few
days putting in additional shelving,
and a large gallery will be built in

at greatly reduced prices. The bar
gains offered will clear out this stock
quickly. See the big ad elsewhere in

FALLS CITY, Or., June 7-The
graduating exercises of the Falls City
public school were held tonight, and
were largely attended. The program
was pleasing and impressive. Shortly
after 8 o'clock, the band played a few
selections, and the class was ushered
in to the strains pf a march played by
Mrs. B. A. Bristol.
The graduates delivered orations as
follows ; Clark H. Travis, "The Value
of a Definite Aim ; Grace L. Stoddard
"The Power of Time ;" Clara A. Mont
gomery, "Monuments We Should
Build;" Irene F. Dodd, "Character;'
Josie E. Moyer, "A World's Hero;"
Elnora Syron, "Personal Influence ;'
E. Fern Raymond, "The Influence of
Environments;" Maud M. Mont
gomery, "The value of the Public
School." Mina B. Alderman read the
Class Prophecy.

Miss Hallie Morrison, of Dallas, ana
a quartet, "Golden Days," by J. C.
Talbott, N. A. Emmitt, Fred Talbott
and R. Davenport. ,
The address to the class by Supt.
C. L. Starr was replete with practical
advice, as was also the talk of Princi
pal Scott Leavitt in presenting the
diplomas. Two members of the gradu
ating class, Willie E. Tice and Henry
Pfandhoefer, were unable to be present
on account of sickness.
At the close of the exercises, the
Alumni Association held its annual
reunion and banquet.
The school year just closed has been
a most successful one. -The Falls City
school has always enjoyed the reputa
tion of turning out thorough students,
and the bright young people finishing
the course this year are no exception
to the rule. The standing of Miss
Maud Montgomery in the final ex
aminations was higher than that of
any other publio school graduate in

Baptist church, handed in his resign
ation Monday evening, having de
cided to seek a new field for. work.
The resignation was accepted with
reluctance by the members of the con
gregation, as Eev. Russell is held in
the highest esteem. During his two
years work In Dallas, Oakdale and
Bridgeport fifty-five people have
united with the church. In accepting
his resignation, the congregation pre
sented him with a fitting testimonial
of appreciation in the shape of appro
priately worded resolutions of respect
and good will.
Abel Uglow narrowly escaped death
from poisoning at an rnly hour Wed
nesday morning. He was working
about his building, and, desirinc; a
light stimulant, stepped into the drug
store of Belt & Cherrington for a glas3
of wine. Going to the shelf where the
wine bottles are kept, he picked up
what he supposed to be a bottle of
sherry wine, but which in reality was
battery fluid, a powerful poison, and
pouring out a glass of the deadly
stuff, took a swallow of it. Realizing
in an instant his mistake, he hurried
to the back room and informed Ches
ley Embree, the night clerk, what he
had done. Antidotes of limewater and
magnesia were quickly administered,
and everything possible was done to
counteract the effects of the poisonous
mixture. He was placed in bed in a
rear room of the store, and for a time
his condition was such that it was
feared that he could not recover. But
the prompt administration of the
proper antinotes soon begau to have
its effect, and in less than an hour he
was out of danger. Early in the after
noon he was removed to his home,
where, barring a slight sicknens
caused by the action of the poison, he
was soon resting comfortably.
Liquor Electropoeicus, or battery
fluid, as it is commonly called, is a
mixture used in carbon and zinc
batteries. It is made of sodium
bichromate and sulphuric acid, two
deadly poisons, and water. A tea-
spoonful of the stuff has been known
to produce death in 35 minutes. Mr.
Uglow may well congratulate himself
upon his narrow escape, for had not
the proper antidotes been near at
hand, he would not be alive today.
