Main St, Dallas, Oregon GILPIN IN THE TOILS Salem Officers Arrest Him on Charge oi t-assing Bad Check on Dallas Merchant. John Gilpin was arrested in Salem last Friday on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. The complaint alleges that he passed a worthless check on R. B. McDonald, a confectioner of Dallas, a few weeks ago. He may also be brought to face a charge of forgery. Gilpin was brought to Polk county by Deputy Sheriff M. A. Ford and placed in the county Jail. The check in question was drawn on the Independence National Bauk for the sum of $50. It was made pay able to "J. R. Snyder," and was signed "John W. Gilpin." Theeheck bore the endorsement of "J. R. Snyder" on the back. When Mr. Mc Donald presented the check for pay ment, the bank refused to honor it, informing him that it was worthless. At the preliminary hearing before Justice Hardy Holman on Monday afternoon, Mr. McDonald testified that the prisoner borrowed $20 from him about the first of June, repre senting himself to be J. R. Snyder. On or about June 21, Gilpin came to the store and offered him a check for $50 in payment of the debt. Mr. Mc Donald did not have enough money in the cash drawer to pay the $30 difference, and Gilpin went away. Later in the day he returned and Mc Donald gave him the $30 and took the check. McDonald says that Gilpin at all times represented himself to be J. R. Snyder. It is believed that the endorsement is a forgery, as the handwriting bears a strong resem blance to that on the face of theeheck. Justice Holman placed Gilpin under $500 bonds to appear before the Circuit Court, and the prisoner was returned to jail. Judge Burnett's court will not meet until December, and an effort will be made to have the trial take placo in Judge Galloway's de partment and save the taxpayers the expense of boarding the prisoner for four or five months. The Salem Statesman says that Gil pin has kept company during the last two years with Myrtle Wallace, an Indian girl with a shady character, and has given the police a great deal of trouble. The two were repeatedly arrested and on many occasions served time in the city jail. They were made to leave the city at different times, but would always work their way back. Dallas Boys Lose Game. A nicked-UD team of Dallas base ball players went to Salem Sunday afternoon and were defeated by George Waters' team by a score of 22 to 21. The Dallas boys were in the lead until near the end of the game, when a change of pitchers proved their undo ing. Perry Castle pitched winning ball, but was unable to hold out for the nine in nines and Claud Shaw was sub stituted. The latter was freely batted by the Capital City boys, and the game was lost by Dallas in the ninth inning. Three home runs were scored by Dal las during the game. A large crowd witnessed the contest, and good feeling prevailed throughout. The only acci dent of the day occurred when Castro Syron, crack second baseman and tower of strength for the Dallas team, collided with a fat base-runner of the Salem team and received a bump that caused him to forget everything else for a few seconds. Castro conducted himself bravely, all things considered, but it was noticeable that his playing was lacking in its usual vim and vinegar during the remainder of the game. The Salem Statesman says the game was long-winded, and the score certainly indicates it. A Tillamook merchant advertises his place of business as "the store that put the mail-order traffic out of business in Tillamook couuty." J. C.

Belt & Cherrington s Leonard Livermore and L. L Shreve drove to Newport this week for a few days' outing. Mr. Shreve was preparing to return to Eastern Ore eon when he received word that his employers had sold their store and that his services would not be needed. He will probably remain in the valley several weeks before seeking a new location. FOIETSnOIitrTAR BLOSSOM BLIGHT APPEARS Hop Crop in Marion County Said to Be in Great Danger From Scourge. With the reappearance of pests upon the blossoms of the growing hops, growers in this section are confronted with a condition regarded as serious, says the Salem correspondent of the Evening Telegram. The new trouble consists of the effect of the excessive and extraordinary visitation of lice and honey-dew, the effect of which has been to sap the vines so that the blos soms, which appear to be in a perfectly healthy condition, except for the lice, drop off at the merest touch. Another discovery which is claimed to have been made only Sunday afternoon, by a grower who has been in the business for 15 years, is that the leaves of the vines, when held to the sun, show unmistakable evidence of mold. This is a condition heretofore unknown. Inspection of every yard along the road north of Salem, about 25 in all, leads to the conclusion that there are few growers in that district who will harvest more than two-thirds of an ordinary crop, while the majority of them will be fortunate if they succeed in saving a half crop. Many growers have sprayed with good effect, but the vermin have come on again in over whelming numbers, and many are making preparations to go over their yards a second time with the spray. ADDS DIPPING MACHINE R. L. Chapman Makes Many Improvements on His Prune Dryer in North Dallas. R. L. Chapman is making ex tensive improvements and repairs on his big prune dryer north of town and will soon have one of the most completely equipped evaporating plants in the valley. The work is nearing completion, and the dryer will be ready to handle the present year's output of Mr. Chapman's 40 acre orchard. The principal addition to the plant is a dipping and spreading machine of the latest pattern. This machine dips the prunes in a lye bath, rinses them in running water, and spreads them on the trays. It will dip and spread 500 bushels of prunes a day, and is a valuable labor-saving device. The machine will materially increase the capacity of the dryer, as prunes dipped in lye will dry in about six hours less time than those not similarly treated. Heretofore, Mr. Chapman has not dipped his fruit on account of a scarcity of water. Another important improvement added this year is a first-class water system to protect the plant from fire., A two inch main from the city system furnishes an abundance of water and good pressure, notwithstanding the fact that the dryer is a mile from town and nearly 100 feet above the street level. Five hydrants are distributed around the dryer and warehouse, and a water-pipe running through the furnace is so arranged that the drying tunnels may be filled with steam at a moment's notice, Mr. Chapman says that the pressure on the hydrants is sufficient to throw water to the top of both buildings. The plant will begin operations about September 1. Health Officer's Notice.

POLK HEADS THE LIST Angora Goat Industry Has Been Brought to Highest Stage of Development Here. Speaking of the Angora goat in dustry of Oregon, the Oregonian of July 18 says : "Polk, Benton and Lincoln are the counties raising the largest number of goats. It is astonishing that more men engaged in clearing upland do not utilize the Angora goat to aid them. To put on a clearing machine which not only does the work but re pays over 30 per cent of its cost would seem to be a good proposition. It cannot be too strongly stated that on Oregon brush-covered lands there are few farming industries that will justify paying out from $30 to $50 an acre for getting rid at one operation of brush, trees and roots. "To increase the grass and clover growing area of the farm, on the other hand, is to enable an immense increase of the number of stock that the farm will carry, and therein lies the chief source of profit. The slash ing and burning of the brush and sowing the field down in grass and clover can in most cases be done for $10 an acre or even less. The next year sheep and goats can be turned in on the land.' Each sheep on an average yields $1.10 a head for wool, and each goat $1.25 for mohair. On land where cherry, hazel and vine maple are the chief brushes, the sheep and goats will kill the brush out in from three to four years, and do well on the feed all the time. The roots can then be knocked out with ax or grub-hoe, and then burned. The land can be plowed and cultivated and thrown into the acreage of plow land on the farm. Meanwhile the sheep and goats will have more than paid for themselves and be ready to repeat the work on the next field. "It is estimated that, in clearing land, six goats will do the work of one man. Before passing on let it be noticed that in no branch of stock is quality more important than when securing goats. A good lot of grade nannies at $5 a head, and a thorough bred buck at $20 or $25, will be a very paying investment, when well cared for." Pays Respects to Gosslpers. (Guernsey, Wyo. Gazette.) Gossip is a hummingbirds with eagle wings and a voice like a fog horn. It can be heard from Dan to Bersheba, and has caused more trouble than all the bed-bugs, ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, coyotes, grass hoppers, chinchbugs, rattlesnakes, sharks, sore toes, cyclones, earth quaKes, blizzards, smallpox, yellow fever, gout and indigestion that this great United States has known or will know when the Universe shuts up shop and begins the final invoice. In other words, it has got war and hell both backed up in the corner yelling for icewater. Sale of Indian Lands. About 25,000 acres of land, com prising a portion of the Grand Ronde Indian reservation, will be sold by the Government on October 10, 1905. Sealed bids will be received by the Portland land office for the land3 as arranged by schedule, and each bidder may present bids for any num ber of tracts. Each bid must be accompanied by a check for 20 per cent of the amount of such bid, made payable to the Secretary of the In terior, but no offer of less than $1.25 per acre will be considered. A sample bid and a schedule of the land to be sold may be seen at the Observer office by any of our readers who are interested. Change In Evening Service.

HARRIS jeweler0,clan NEAR POST OFFICE ON MAIN STREET, DALLAS, OREGON LAST ILLNESS WAS BRIEF Mrs. Angeline Sites Passes Away at Home of Her Daughter Near Prineville.

The news of her death came as a great surprise to her many friends in Dallas. While it was known that she had been in declining health for several months, her con dition had not been considered serious. Mrs. Sites was the widow of Dr. J. R. Sites, one of the prominent pioneer physicians of the Willamette Valloy. She was an intelligent aDd accom plished woman of fine social qualities, and had a host of friends in Polk county.
