The vacancy in the office of Auditor
and Police J udge of Dallas, caused by
the resignation of H. G. Campbell,
was filled by the election of Dan p
Stouffer at the meeting of the City
Council, Monday evening. Mr. Stouf
fer was elected by a majority of one
vote over Hardy Holman, receiving
me HUDDOrt Of ( niinoilmnn n.nar,
- ' i..J,vu
oais ana Shaw. Mr. Holman
was me cnoice of Councilmen Coad,
Ayres and Stafrin. Oscar Hayter was
re-employed as City Attorney for a
term of one year, his salary being
uAeu ai wio per quarter.
The meeting was called to order at
7 :30 o'clock, with Mayor Biddle in the
chair. Present, Councilmen Belt,
Coad, Ayres, Boals, Stafrin and
Cosper; absent, Shaw.
The matter of investing the money
in the water-works sinking fund came
up for consideration, and after a
lengthy discussion it was decided to
purchase one of the outstanding water
bonds, if the same can be obtained
upon reasonable terms. The sinking
fund wa3 established two years aero,
and now contains $1500 principal and
a neat amount of accumulated interest.
It is the desire of the council to call
in one of the $1000 bonds, and to in
vest the remaining fund on good
security until next Spring, when, with
the new taxes, enough money will be
available to take up another bond
The council instructed the Finance
Committee to buy a bond, if satisfac
tory arrangement can be made with
me noiaer; otnerwse, to seek some
safe investment, for the money now
idle in the sinking fund.
The bill of $95 for painting the City
Hall and the electrio light bill for the
month of May were ordered paid.
A resolution authorizing the Mayor
and Auditor to re-employ Oscar Hay
ter as attorney for the city for a period
of one year was passed by
unanimous vote. Under the terms of
the contract, Mr. Hayter will be re
quired to prepare ordinances and act
as legal adviser to the city officers, for
which services he will receive a com
pensation of $100 a year.
An ordinance regulating the con
struction of parking strips was read
second time and passed. The ordi
nance provides that all parking strips
laid out hereafter shall be subject to
the following regulations : On all 80-
foot streets, the curb or outer edge of
the parking strip shall be 30 feet from
the center line of the street ; on 66-foot
streets, 25 feet from the center of the
street: and on 60-foot streets, 22 feet
from the center of the street. This
rule will insure a uniform curb line
on all streets, whether the fences and
sidewalks are on the property line, or
otherwise.
The ordinance to license meat
peddlers again came up for con
sideration and provoked a lengthy
discussion. Sentiment against the
ordinance in its present form was
stroncr. and it was referred to the
Ordinance Committee for revision.
The resignation of H. G. Campbell
a Auditor and Police Judge was
called from the table, at Mr. Camp-

ceived his appointment from Head
Consul 1. 1. Boak, of the Pacific juris

Eastern Oregon. By the recent ap
pointment the state is combined into
one district, and Colonel Day is placed
in charge. He is one of the best
known Woodmen of the World in
Oregon, and has had long experience
in almost every branch of the order,
so he is well qualified for the work in
hand.

.Ihe announcement that Isaac
Pincus & Sons, the heavy hopdealers
of Tacoma, had sold their holdings of
1U04 hops caused a sensation in the
local market, Monday. The first news
of this selling came from Tatoma
sources, u is saia tnat jf incus was
selling his hops through his Portland
representative, and that practically
every bale had already been disposed
of on the quiet Later information
was confirmed by various Portland
dealers. Pincus has been the main
stay of the bull movement in the 1904
market. His has been the loudest
voice raised in an effort to cause the
grower to hold, and the fact that he
has sold while every grower and most
of the dealers believed he was holding,
caused the market to sag suddenly
and the result is likely to prove disas
trous to the present market. '
It is said that Isaac Pincus & Sons
held about $40,000 of hops, and by the
deal which has just been closed the
firm is estimated to have lost in the
vicinity of $15,000. These hops were
purchased on the open market when
prices were fighting their liveliest to
get up to 35c, and a large amount of
the goods was purchased around 31
32c per pound. In this connection
Pincus & Sons were situated some
what different from the holding grow
er, for the amount of hops held by the
big bull firm cost them the very top
values, while the growers' interest
cost but the cost of growing and bal
ing, probably about 8o per pound.
Every opportunity to bull the market
was eagerly snapped at by the Tacoma
firm in an effort to hold themselves
up, as well as help the grower who
still had supplies on hand.
The selling by Pincus leaves but
one big lot in the market that owned
by Krebs Bros. According to late
reports from Salem, Conrad Kreba is
quoted as saying that he is still hold
ing and advises the Oregon grower to
hold likewise. The selling by Pincus,
however, took the biggest prop out of
the market for the 1904 crop. Port

DR. M'CALLON CHOSEN
Popular Physician Is Elected to Sue.
ceed William Grant as Director
of Dallas School District.
vr. is. t. Mcuauon was elected a
member of the Board of Directors of
the Dallas public school at the annual
school meeting held in the City Hall,
Monday afternoon. The Doctor was
cnosen ay a unanimous vote, no can
didates appearing in opposition to
him. H. G. Campbell was unani
mously re-elected for clerk. The
attendance of voters was light, not
more than thirty being present.
The annual report of Clerk Camp
bell shows the Dallas school district
to be in a flourishing condition. The
finances are in good shape, and the
enrollment of children in the district
shows a marked increase over that of
last year. The school building is well
equipped with furniture, and the
library contains several hundred vol
luraes of carefully-selected books.
Before adjourning the meeting, the
voters extended a hearty vote of
thanks to William Grant, the retiring
Director, for his faithful services.
Mr. Grant has worked earnestly and
efficiently for the upbuilding of the
school, and has had the satisfaction
of seeing his efforts crowned with suc
cess. His successor, Dr. McCallon,
takes an active interest in educational
affairs, and his election is highly
satisfactory to the people of the district
He is enthusiastic in any work he
undertakes, and it is the general be
lief that he will prove a competent
official in his new capacity.

Fully one thousand school children
attended the annual school picnic at
Rickreall last Saturday. Hundreds
of older people were also present, mak
ing the attendance the largest ever
seen on an occasion of this kind id
Polk oounty. County graduating
exercises were a new and novel feature,
and added greatly to the pleasure of
the da3 Over one hundred eighth
grade graduates received their diplo
mas, the presentation being made by
State Superintendent J. H. Ackerman
Professor B. F. Mulkey, president
of the Ashland State Normal School,
delivered the address to the graduates.
rroressor Mulkey is never more
happy in his remarks than upon an
occasion of this kind, and his excel
lent talk to the young people was one
that they will long remember. The
graduates were presented by County
Superintendent C. L. Starr in a neat
five-minute speech. Music was fur
nished by the Buena Vista Band.
The morning exercises were held in
the Burch grove, long noted as one of
the coolest and most pleasant retreats
in the county. With the arrival of
the noon hour., lunch-baskets were
brought out and the merry "pick
nickers" spent a delightful hour in
eating and resting in the shade of the
spreading maples on the river's bank.
The afternoon was given over to ball
games and other athletic sports, and
the day's festivities were closed by a
social dance in the Rickreall Hall in
the evening. Many voung DeoDle
were present from all parts of the
county, and dancing was indulged in
until midnight.
No one ever heard of a dull picnic
at Rickreall, and the one given Sat
urday was up to the usual standard
of excellence.
Queer Accident to Animal.
Dr. D. D. Keeler, veterinary sur
geon, yesterday performed an opera
tion upon ahorse belonging to Mr. E.
Bell, of Oak Grove, as a result of
which he extracted a piece of board
from the animal's chest which meas
ured six inches in length by two and
one half inches in breadth and one
inch thick. The block of wood, was
buried deep in the horse's breast. Mr.
Bell says he does not know how it
ever got there, unless the horse, which
has been running to pasture for some
time, plunged into the end of a fence
board and broke the piece off. The horse
seems to be none the worse for his ex
perience, except for a slight soreness
and lameness, which will be overcome
in a few weeks. Tuesday'sStatesman.
Hopmen Demand Thirty Cents.
A meeting of Washington County
hopgrowers was held in Hillsboro,
Saturday, to consider an offer for the
1904 crop. It was voted not to accept
the quotation, and the prospective
buyers were notified that no offer of
less than 30 cents would be given any
consideration. Practically all of the
hops unsold are in the hands of
growers who can afford to hold, and
there is no inclination to part with
holdings unless at the price above
named, and it is improbable that they
would even sell at 30 cents.

Loganberry King.
A. M. LaFoliette of Mission Bottom,
near Gervais, is the loganberry king
of Oregon. Mr. LaFoliette has nine
acres planted to the berries, and they
are said to be a sight that is worth the
trip to see. Mr. LaFoliette says the
loganberry is the coming berry in
this market. It is a direct, cross be
tween a red raspberry and a wild
blackberry, and tastes better than
either. Out of the nine acres owned
by Mr. LaFoliette, he will have a crop
of 4,000 crates this season. Besides
this, about 1,000 crates were lost by
the late frosts.
The Salem Statesman's corres
pondent in Portland writes his paper
as follows : "It is said by those who
know that President Goode is sitting
up nights looking for new words in
the dictionary. The poor man has
been compelled to deliver an address
of welcome every day since the fair
opened, to somebody, something or
other, with the pleasant prospect of
delivering one or two per day, till next
October, and he i3 said to be on the
verge of a collapse in an effort to say
something original. Not only has he
had to deliver his addresses, but he
had to listen to from one to twenty
speeches a day in reply, all written
and delivered with the sole and com
mendable purpose of pointing out to
Mr. Goode and the community what
the Lewis . and Clark Exposition
typifies.
'One and all, from Vice-President
Fairbanks down, have carefully and
painstakingly followed the footsteps of
the explorers across the continent
never failing to pay tribute to their
Indian woman guide.and to see in their
ourney an opportunity for brilliant
flights of oratory In which they paid
glowing tributes to the west, and
finished mightily pleased with them
selves and their originality. One and
all, they have said the same thing.
Westward the star of empire takes its
course,' has been their Inspiration,
and, boiled down, that well-worn motto
about says all that they have said.
"They have told us of the trials and
tribulations of our pioneers, described
the country as they found it, compared
to what we have today, praised
Captains Lewis and Clark, praised
the west and westerners and western
products, praised the exposition and
the exposition officials and the city of
Portland and. finished with a superb
effort in predicting what glorious
things are yet to be ours. It was
rather nice at first, for we all like
praise, but after we had heard a dozen
or so wo wearied, and now leave it to
President Goode to listen to. And we're
wondering how long he will stand it."
CROPS ARE THRIVING
All
Indications Point to Big
of drain In Oregon.
Yield
Indications for a record-breaking
grain yield in Oregon, and the whole
Northwest, this year continue to be
most favorable. The grain is heading
out splendidly and the heads are well
filled. It is lust a little too earlv to
make estimates of the probable yield.
The crop might be affected so much
during the next two weeks that present
estimates would be far from right,
but if this critical time Is passed
safely, grain experts will then be able
to get a reliable lino on the probable
yield. The acreage of wheat In the
Northwest is 5 to 10 per cent greater
than that of last year, and the increase
in percentage of the oats acreage is
even larger.
From the rate at which it is matur
ing now it is expected that harvesting
will be about two weeks earlier this
year than last. This means that
harvesting will begin early in July in
the Inland Empire, and in the latter
part of July or early in August in the
Willamette Valley.
