RAILROAD WORK IN POLK
Dallas and Falls City Line Is Being
Pushed Forward Into the
Big Timber.
Active work has been commenced on
the four-mile extension of the Dallas
, and Falls City railroad into the big
timber west of Falls City. Chief En
cineerJ. W. Coovert has a force of
men clearing the right-of-way and
orettinir evervthine in readiness for
the grading ciew to begin work with
teams and scrapers. No teams will
be put on until enough right-of-way
is cleared to enable the crew to work
to an advantage.
The bridge carpenters are making
good progress and will soon finish
their part of the work. There are fou r
bridges on the new line, all within
two miles of Falls City. Each bridge
will consist of but one span, 56 feet in
length. Some delay in the bridge
work was caused by the inability of
the company to secure suitable tim
bers from the Falls City sawmills,
and it was found necessary to place
the order with the Johnson Lumber
Company's mill in Dallas. The tim
bers are being sent forward as fast as
needed, and work on the extension
can now proceed without further
delay.
No State Fair will be held In 1905,
but the annual appropriation will be
used for the construction of buildings
and the making of such permanent
improvements as may be needed. To
the annual appropriation of $10,000
the Legislature added $5000, and all
of this sum can be used in putting the
State Fair grounds in good condition.
Tho Marion County delegation, which
always looks after the interests of the
Fair, even though it is not a local
institution, displayed good judgment
in making this arrangoment for the
present year, for it promotes harmony
and good feeling, and will prove most
advantageous to all concerned. It Is
very doubtful whether the State Fair
could have been made a success in
1905, for tho reason that no county ex
hibits would be made. The several
counties are putting forth greatefforts
to make a good showing at the Lewis
and Clark Fair, and could not have
undertaken work at tho State Fair at
the same time. So far as attendance
is concerned, it is not probable that
the State Fair would have interfered
in any way with the Lewis and Clark
Exposition, but the holding of two
fairs in one year would mean a
division of effort that could not be
productive of good. Oregon ian.
The action of the Lewis and Clark
Fair committeo in refusing to give
space to a certain class of merchants
in Portland who refused to contribute
to the funds for the fair, is a deserving
rebuke to the drones in tho hive of in
dustry, remarks the Astorian.
Died of Consumption.
Thomas Wrightdied of consumption
at tho home of his parents in Falls
City on Friday, February 24. Had
ho lived until next Sunday he would
have been 26 years old. He had lived
in Falls City a little over one yeur
and was a member of the I. O. O. F.,
under whoso auspices he was interred
in their cemetery just oast of town
He loaves a father and mother, four
brothers, one sister and a host of
friends to mourn his demise. Falls

READY FOR BUSINESS
Dallas National Bank Will Open
Doors Next Monday
Morning.
Its
The Dallas National Hank will open
its doors for business next Monday
morning, at 9 o'clock. The opening
of the bank has been delayed several
weeks on account of the failure of
needed office furniture to arrive from
Chicago, but the officers have decided
to wait no longer and will use
temporary furniture until the belated
shipment arrives.
The new bank commences business
with a capital stock of $25, 000. The
stockholders comprise some of the
leading capitalists of Dallas, Portland
and Salem. The promoters of the new
enterprise are all practical business
men, and it is doubtful if another
banking institution in the Willamette
Valley has more capable managers.
The officers of the Dallas National
Bank are : It. E. Williams, president ;
Claud Gatch, vice-president; Eugene
Hayter, cashier. The directors are Dr.
B. II . McCallon, Walter Williams,
Claud Gatch, R. E. Williams and I. N.
Woods.
R. E. Williams, the president of the
new concern, has been connected with
the Dallas City Bank in various
capacities for the last fifteen years.
Entering the employ of the latter in
stitution as bookkeeper when but a
mere boy, he soon demonstrated his
fitness and capability for the duties
assigned him, and it was not long
until he was promoted to the more
responsible position of assistant to
the cashier. He served his employers
in this latter capacity with such suc
cess that, upon the resignation of
Cashier C. G. Coad, he was elected to
fill the responsible position vacated
by that officer. Mr. Williams con
tinued in the active management of
the Dallas City Bank up to the time
of resigning his position to become
president of the new bank. He is
succeeded in the old bank by W. G.
Vassall, the former efficient assistant
cashier.
Claud Gatch, the vice-president of
the Dallas National Bank, is cashier
of Ladd & Bush's bank in Salem,
and is well known in financial
circles throughout the Northwest.
Eugene Hayter, a former Clerk of
Polk County, and until recently a
bookkeeper in the Dallas City Bank,
is the cashier of the new bank. Mr.
Hayter is an experienced office man,
and has a wide acquaintance in Polk
county.
The furnishings of the new bank
are as fine as can be found in any
city on the Coast. No expense has
been spared in providing modern
equipment, and the effect must be
seen to be appreciated. The counter
and furniture are of the finest grade
of mahogany, and the wainscoting is
of a beautiful mahogany finish, with
base boards of mottled-green Georgia
marble. The floor of the lobby is laid
in handsome patterns of white and
gray tile, and the art metal ceiling has
a buff field, elaborately decorated and
delicately shaded to green and brown
in the cove. This ceiling is a triumph
of the decorator's art, and challenges
the admiration of all who have seen
it. The front of the building is of
finest quality plate and prismatic
glass.
Inside the substantial vault is one
of the latest improved Hibbard-Rod-man-Ely
system manganese steel
safes a make of safe that has, up to
the present date, baffled the skill of
the most expert burglars and success
fully withstood all tests to which it
has boen subjected.
The Dallas National Bank has
bright prospects for a successful
career from the date of its opening,
and promises to become an important
factor in the development of Polk
county. Dallas is a prosperous town,
surrounded by a prosperous country,
and is therefore a banking point of
more than ordinary importance. The
old and firmly established Dallas City
Bank, with an honorable and success
ful business career behind it, and the
new Dallas National Bank, with
ample capital and officered by con
DKiwuivu anu yei progressive men,
should prove a strong team in pro
rooting the material welfare of Dallas
and Polk county, by leading in every
move to secure new and important in
dustries and by furnishing ample
capital for all woithy business enter
prises. May both institutions grow
ana prosper.
