BUILDING MINIATURE CITY
Spokane Will Show Herself in Hand
Carved Reproduction at Lewis
and Clark Fair.
One of the most novel exhibits at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition will
be the city of Spokane, Wash. The
city is to be removed to Portland
aboard a car, and it will not require a
very large car, either. Spokane in
miniature is now being built. A civil
engineer and an artist are the builders,
and the Spokane Chamber of Com
merce is the sponger. The miniature
city, a beautiful reproduction, with a
stream of real water to represent
Spokane Falls, will occupy a room in
the balcony above the mining exhibit
in the Washington state building at
the fair, and Spokane people will
proudly point out the places of interest
in their city without finding it
necessary to take the tourist thither.
It is the expectation, however, that the
tourist who sees the reduced fac-simile
of Spokane will be so charmed that he
will go up and see the actual city.
The plan is to reproduce the city in
detail from Jefferson street to Division
street, between Mallon avenue and the
Northern Pacific railroad. To the
sightseer the city will appear as if
seen from an elevation over the river
at Jefferson street, and he will be look
ing away to the north, the east and
the south.
The foundation of the city, which
will include the streets, curbs and
sidewalks, will be of cement from two
inches to six inches thick. The district
to be represented will be made on an
absolute scale of 30 feet'to the inch,
which will make the exhibit 10x12 feet.
The cement foundation will be divided
into 10 sections, weighing 120 pounds
each, so that it can be safely moved.
The buildings will be hand-carved
from pine. Each city block will be
made separately, and will be fastened
upon the cement foundations by
dowels. That will permit the whole
thing to be taken apart for shipment.
After the details of all the business
buildings are carved chey will be
painted in actual colors of the struc
tures. The bridges will be reproduced
of wood and wire. The out-lying por
tions of the city will be painted upon
canvas and adroitly joined to the little
city so as to appear in actual
perspective.
General VanOrsdel Promoted.
Governor Brooks, of Wyoming, has
appointed Attorney-General J. A. Van
Orsdel to be a member of the Supreme
Court of that state, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Chief Justice
Knight. Mr. VanOrsdel went to
Wyoming in 1891, and was appointed
Attorney-General in 189S. He has
filled the office continuously since- the
last-named year, and is a very popular
official. He is a brother of Ex-Shenff
J G VanOrsdel, of this city. Many
Dallas people who had the pleasure of
meeting him on the occasion of his
visit here three years ago will be
pleased to learn of his promotion.

GONE TO; HER REWARD
Mrs. John B.";Smlth Died at Her
Home Near Bridgeport,
.Saturday.
miiYSHiBifiicins
Mrs. Maggie Smith, wife of John
B. Smith, died at the family home
near Bridgeport, Saturday, April 22,
1905, aged 37 years. She had been in
failing health for several years.
Mrs. Smith was a daughter of L. C.
Hill, of Bridgeport, and was born in
Knox county, Tenn., December 27,
18G7. She came with the family to
Oregon in 1884, and was married to
John B. Smith on the 8th of September,
1886. She leaves a husband and four
children, the oldest being aged 17
years and the youngest two years
She is also survived by her father and
two sisters, Mrs. I. F. Yoakum and
Miss Nellie Hill. Mrs. Smith joined
the United Evangelical Church in
1898, and wag a faithf ul and consistent
member to the end of her life.
The funeral services were held in
the Bridgeport church, Monday morn
ing, and were largely attended by
sorrowing neighbors and friends of
the family. The seryices were con
ducted by Presiding Elder M. J.
Ballantyne and Rev. D. M. Metzger,
of Dallas, The floral tributes were
many and beautiful. One of the
largest funeral processions ever seeD
in Polk county followed the remains
to their last resting place in the Odd
fellows' cemetery, south of Dallas.
Mrs. Smith was a woman of noble
qualities, and was universally beloved
by her acquaintances. Her pleasant
disposition and charming manners
made her a social favorite in her
community, and her isfluence was
also for the very best in church and
Sunday school work. Her death will
be deeply mourned, and the bereaved
family have the sympathy of all in
their sad loss.

Perfect Easter.
.Easter Sunday was appropriately
observed by the various churches in
Dallas. The day was perfect, and the
places of worship were all well filled.
The floral decorations were the most
beautiful ever seen in the Dallas
churches. The weather was delight
fully warm, and the pretty hats worn
by the feminine portion of each con
gregation made the interior of the
churches resemble veritable flower
gardens. After the close of the
services, hundreds of people strolled
about the city, enjoying the welcome
sifnshine. In the afternoon, the
thermometer climed up to 84 degrees,
and the usual Sunday calm once more
prevailed, the weather being too warm
for comfort on- the street. The
weather statistics disclose the fact that
Sunday was one of the hottest April
days ever experienced in Oregon.

joe. tnJ f.cx. A'l iruzput
Sixty of the leading hopgrowers of
Oregon met in Portland, Tuesday,
and without a dissenting voice agreed
to hold their hops until August 1, un
less the price goes up to 30 cents.
There are only about 17,000 bales left
unsold in Oregon, and as 13,895 bales
were withdrawn from sale at this
meeting, the success of the movement
is assured. It is known that of the
holders of the remaining 3000 bales
the majority have signified their ap
proval of the pool and will add their
names to the agreement as soon as
they have an opportunity.
One of the strongest indications of
an actual shortage of hops in the
United States and England at the
present time is found in the action of
the short sellers, who, through their
attorneys, attempted to prevent the
formation of the pool by praying for
an injunction by the circuit court
restraining the growers from holding
their hops. It is claimed that back of
this suit, are the brewers, who claim
that a pool at the present time, with
the supply less than the demand, will
ruin them in business. So desperate
is the situation for the shorts that
they talk of carrying the fight into
the Federal court.
The growers are not worried in the
least, and declare that if their enemies
had laid awake all night trying to
think of some way to help the growers,
they could not have done a better job.
If the suit has had any effect upon
growers still holding hops, it has
encouraged them to hang on. One
heavy holder expresses the views of
growers thus:
"There were a few who were in
doubt about the dealers needing all
thejremaining hops to fill their con
tracts, but in bringing this suit the
short-sellers have admitted the ex
tremity in which they find themselves.
Those who are opposed to the pool
acknowledge that they must have
hops. This they have been denying
heretofore.
"It makes no particular difference
whether the courts enjoin the forma
tion of the pool ; the growers will hold
their hops in any event until the
price goes to 30 cents or better. Grow
ers will hold individually, if not by
agreement. The courts may enjoin
the formation of a pool, but they won't
compel the growers to sell their hops."
COMMERCIAL WIRE TO AMITY
Work on Mutual Telephone Com
pany's Long-Distance Line Is
Under Way.
J. B. Long, manager of the Amity
Mutual Telephone exchange, informs
the Advance that there has been "some
thing doing"recently toward extension
and improvement of the service in this
locality, and as a result Amity, Dallas
and intervening points will very soon
be able to realize the added conveni
ence and advantages to be derived
from a commercial line connecting the
Amity and Dallas mutual exchanges.
The money and labor required to build
this line will be contributed by mutual
subscribers at Amity, Ballston, South
Sheridan and other points which will
derive a direct benefit from such exten
sion of the service. Active work on
this project was commenced Wednes
day when 107 poles were out and peeled
for the line and its construction from
now on will be pushed to completion
with vigor. The new line will be nine
miles in length and it is expected that
the same will be completed within a
month. The success of this project,
which is sure to very materially Im
prove and extend the mutual service
In this locality, Is due in no small de
gree to the energetic efforts of Mr.
Long, and it is expected after the line
is completed its supervision and
mainten ance will devolve on the Amity
mutual company. Amity Advance.
Serious Attack of Heart Disease.
James P. Starr, an old and highly
respected citizen of Dallas, suffered a
serious attack of .congestion of the
heart, Sunday morning, and for a
short time it was feared that he could
not recover. Medical aid was promptly
summoned, and treatment such as is
usually adopted in an emergency of
the kind was resorted to, with the re
sult that the old gentleman was soon
resting easy again. The attack left
him in a greatly weakened condition,
however, and he is still confined to
the house.

DALLAS WINS FIRST GAME
College Boys Defeat Salem High
School Baseball Team by
One Run.
The Dallas College baseball team
began the season most auspiciously
last Saturday afternoon by defeating
the Salem High School nine by a score
of 8 to 7. The game was played on the
Dallas grounds, and was closely con
tested from start to finish. The local
fans turned out in full force to root
tor the home team and were furnished
plenty of excitement and entertain
ment. Myer, although a little slow in
his delivery, pitched au excellent
game for the home team and kept the
hits scattered at all critical points.
The Salem team led until the sixth
inning. Then the Evangelicals put
on their batting clothes and began
straightening King's curves into two
baggers and triplots in a way that
was good to see. Salem's lead was
soon overcome, and the game was
closed with Dallas one run ahead.
Dr. H. L. Toney acted as umpire, and
proved a fair and competent official.
A return game will be played on the
Salem diamond tomorrow afternoon.
The next game on the homo ground
will be with State Normal team one
week from tomorrow.
Many Will Go to Portland.
Arrangements have been made with
the .management of the Lewis and
Clark Exposition to admit visitors to
the fair grounds in Portland on Sun
day, May 7, the date of the conductors'
excursion. Entertainment will be
provided and the various buildings
will be almost entirely in readiness
for the opening of the big exposition.
In most cases, the exhibits will be in
place and can be seen. The Oregon
building will be completed and will be
thrown open to the visitors, and this
will doubtless prove oneof the greatest
attractions for the crowds that will be
iu attendance from all parts of the
Willamette valley on that day. The
conductors will spare no expense or
pains to make the excursion attractive
and enjoyable, and all who can should
arrange to embrace this opportunity
to enjoy a Sunday at the Lewis and
Clark fair grounds. The fare for the
round trip will be only $1.50. .
