WILL DECIDE MONDAY NIGHT
Council Will Consider Question of Sub
mining Rock Crusher Improve
ment to Vote of People.
The question of purchasing a rock
crusher and building permanent
streets in Dallas will come up for con
sideration at the council meeting next
Monday night, and a decision will be
reached at that time as to whether
the proposition shall be submitted to
tho voters at the approaching April
election.
The members of the council have
been gathering information on the
subject of rock crushers from every
available source during the last two
weeks, and are busy preparing their
reports for the meeting to be held next
Monday night. These investigations
have covered a wide range, and In
clude items as follows : Best makes
of crushers, oost of new and second
hand machines, size of crusher best
suited to Dallas' needs, cost of oper
ation, cost of crushed rock delivered
in Dallas, source of supply, relative
value of various rocks for street
purposes, etc.
Councilman A. B. Muir went to
Portland, Saturday, to look up the
prices of rock crushers and road
building machinery in general; and
a delegation composed of Mayor Hay
ter, Councilmeu Belt, Simonton and
Boals drove to Salem and spent the
greater portion of the day at the
crusher in the rock pit south of that
city. They also inspected the hill
road between Salem and Liberty, pro
nounced by experts to be equal to the
best macadam roads in America or
Europe, and gained much valuable
information as to the operation of
rock crushers and the building
permanent roads.
The movement for better streets in
Dallas has developed the fact that the
people are heartily tired of wasting
their money in a vain effort to make
permanent improvements with dii
and soapstone, and that any business
like plan of relief from existing con
ditions will be heartily welcomed.

now be required to pay the full
amount of taxes assessed against
them as the same appears udoq the
roll.
The Sheriff's office has been a busy
place for the last ten days, and collec'
tions have been heavy. The office
force has been kept working early
and late issuing receipts tor money
paid in. Hundreds of checks and
money orders have been received from
taxpayers living at a distance,and the
work of crediting these amounts and
issuing proper receipts therefor will
occupy the attention of .the Sheriff and
his deputy for the next week or ten
days.
Sheriff Ford has had no opportunity
to ascertain the total amountof money
collected, but believes it will be fully
as large as the amount received up to
the corresponding date of last year.
The total number of receipts issued
this year is larger than for thecorres
ponding period last year.
15y paying one-half of their taxes
before the first Monday in April,
property owners will be given until
the first Monday in October to pay the
remaining nair, ana no penalty or
interest will be charged. But if no
such payments are made before the
first Monday in April, the whole
amount will become delinquent and a
penalty of 10 per cent and interest at
the rate of 12 per cent will be added
LEG WAS BROKEN
John Taylor Meets Severe Accident
While Dragging Telephone
Poles.
John Taylor, a well-known farmer
living near Lewisville, met with an
accident in which he sustained severe
injuries, Monday. While dragging
telephone poles out of the woods with
a horse and chain, one of the poles
caught in such a manner as to break
the chain, and the pole struck him on
the right leg, breaking the bone just
below the knee. Dr. O. D. Butler was
summoned from Independence to set
the limb. The accident has caused
Mj. Taylor much pain and incon
venience, and he will not be able to
resume work for several weeks.

WILL SELL MILL PROPERTY
Coast Range Sawmill at Falls City,
to be Sold to Highest Bidder.
The Coast Range Lumbering Com
pany's sawmill plant at Falls City will
be sold at trustee's ' sale on Monday,
April 10. Sealed bids for the property
will be received by George T. Gerl
inger, trustee, until that date. Mr.
Gerlinger is now at Falls City selling
the lumber on the yard.
The property to be sold Includes the
sawmill machinery, the planing mill
at Falls City, contracts for 800 acres
of choice timber land, logging equip
ment, three miles of logging railroad
and a locomotive; also, such lumber
as may be on hand on the day of sale.
The machinery and equipment Is
all first-class in every respect, and
Mr. Gerlinger expects to reeeive a neat
sum of money for the company from
its sale. The mill is located in an ex
cellent body of timber, and has
splendid shipping facilities by way of
the Dallas & Falls City railroad and
the Southern Pacific railroad. The
property is desirable in every respect,
and will doubtless sell for a good
price.
Rain Spoils Ball Game.
A highly spirited and interesting
baseball game between Dallas and
Monmouth, on the college campus In
Dallas, was brought to a close in the
seventh inning by a heavy shower of
rain, Saturday afternoon. Neither
team, was in good practice, but the
players and spectators were enjoying
themselves hugely when the rain
interfered and stopped the fun. Dal-
as had a mixed team of business men
and college boys, and the visiting
team was made up mostly of students
from the Oregon State Normal School.
The score at the end of the seventh
inning was 19 to 9 in favor of Dallas.
Prof. W. I. Reynolds officiated as
umpire, and his work was highly
satisfactory to both team s.

Early Marriages in Polk.
George H. Himes, secretary of the
Oregon Pioneer Association and
assistant secretary of the Oregon
Historical Society, has an interesting
article in a recent number of the Ore-
gonian on "Early Marriages in Port
land and the Country Round About."
The earliest marriage in Polk county
of which he has any record is that of
Stephen Staats and Miss Cordelia
Forrest (both deceased). Mr. Himes
says that an account of their wedding
was published in the Oregon Spectator
of April 16, 1846. The earliest marriage
in tho county of which there ia any
record in the County Clerk's office was
that of Thomas M. Reed and Mrs
Nancy Hawkins. This marriage was
solemnized by Justice Isaac Staats on
November 29, 184C. It is altogether
probable that several weddings occur
red ia Polk county before this latter
date and that the records have been
lost or misplaced. Prior to 1853, no
book records were kept, all marriage
certificates being recorded on separate
sheets of paper, and it is not unlikely
that many of these loose sheets have
been lost.
