DALLAS COLLEGE WINS
fakes Field Meet With Willamette by
70-56 Score Poling's dreat
Work.
The Dallas College track team won
a splendid victory on Willamette field
last Friday when they defeated the
Willamette University team In a hotly
contested meet by a lead of 14 points.
Dallas took 10 first places, and Wil
lamette four. A heavy wind blew
from the west throughout the after
noon and prevented any good records
being made.
Speaking of the game, the Salem
Statesman pays a high compliment to
Dan Poling, saying: "Dan Poling,
of Dallas College, was easily the hero
of the day and attracted the admira
tion of friends and foes alike. He is
one of the best all around athletes in
the state, and contested in nearly all
events, winning five first places, each
time giving his college five points,
and won a place in every event in
which he contested. He won the
highest individual score, 26 points."
Perry Castle did excellent work for
Dallas in the weight events, winning
first place in the discus throw and
hammer throw, and second place in
the shot put. Ford and Gates in the
hurdles, and Launer in the pole vault,
won out easily over their competitors.

Activity at Freeland Mines.
The Freeland Consolidated Mining
Company has added another claim to
its valuable group, on Gold Creek,
Marion county, which now consists of
eleven full claims. The new claim is
a free milling ledge and is high grude
as the gold can be seen plainly with
the eyo without the aid of a glass.
While building a new trail to the
"Five Shot Bill," a quartz cropping
about six feet wide and nearly three
hundred feet long was uncovered, and
from the surface indications it will
prove a high-grade proposition. The
work ou the main tunnel, located on
the Granger claim, is going along
very rapidly and richer ore is being
uncovered every day. Tho work on
the Granger consists of a cross-cut
tunnel 105 feet, and the drift on the
ledge is about 175 feet long running
both ways from where the cross cut
taps the main ledge. A large amount
of the stock of the Freeland company
is owned by Dallas men.

LIVELY RUNAWAY AT SALEM
Two Polk County Women Have Ex
citing Experience on Big
Steel Bridge.
An accident occurred on the Wil
lamette steel bridge Saturday morn
ing which might have proven serious
to those concerned had not men been
ut hand to assist, says tho Salem
Statesman. Two ladies from near
Dallas were crossing tho bridge on
their way to Salem for a shopping
tour, driving a gentle horse and open
buggy, and when near tho Marion
county sido the horse became frighten
ed at a noiso caused by men on the
river banks beating carpet. The
animal suddenly lunged toward the
south side of the bridge, plunged
under the wires used as a railing,
careening the buggy and tipping out
the occupants. The horse then raised
up with tho three wires on its back,
and began plunging frantically in a
desperate effort to releaso itself. The
driver pluckily held to tho lines aud
prevented the horso from going
further until Arthur Meyers and Mr.
Pasco, who were near, could como to
the rescue. They unhitched tho
animal, but ho broke away from thorn
onto the foot bridge and ran down the
Marion county approach. At tho end
of the foot bridge Eunis Waites' wheel
was leaning against the railing, and
tho frightened animal struck it, mak
ing a complete wreck. There he was
caught and returned to tho owners,
the only damago having been a few
broken straps of the harness.
Had tho horse struck the wires on
the opposite side he would have gone
over into the river, and tho buggy
been wrecked, with the possibility of
tho ladies also having been thrown
into the icy waters of the Willamette.
As it was, they were thrown near the
edgo and could easily have fallen be
tween the wires. Had none been at
hand to assist, the ladies would have
been entirely at the mercy of the
frightened beast.
There has been a feeling of in
security ever since the old wooden
railings were replaced with wire and
the accident Saturday shows that no
time should be lost in making it more
secure.
Rev. G. L. Lobdell will preach at
, tho Christian Church, Sunday.

the violin solos by Miss Marlon George
and tho cortortiouist work of Miss
Katherine George. The four Georges
are winners, and they tire welcome to
visit Dallas ns often as they choose.
Builds Cement Walk.
A new cement sidewalk on both
sides of Dr. Murk Hayter's residence
property on Main street greatly im
proves the appearance of tho premises
and tho street. The Observer would
like to seo the building of cement
walks become general in tho residence
district. The cost is somewhat greater
than that of wooden walks, but the
cement walk is more satisfactory in
every respect, and is much chenpor In
tho end.
