WITH OPEN ARMS Portland Business Men Greeted by Large Crowd at Dallas. It was a big, good-natured crowd that greeted the Portland excursionists when their handsome special arrived in this city last Friday afternoon. Hundreds of representative men and women were present to greet the visitors, the boys' brass band played its liveliest music, and three hundred pupils of the public school joined in the cheer of welcome. The people of Dallas were glad to see their neighbors from the big town down the river, and they made their feelings known in no uncertain or half-hearted way. That this feeling was fully reciprocated was evidenced by the hearty answeriDg cheers of the visitors as they alighted from the train. A large banner bearing the words "Dallas, the Town That Does Things," caught the attention of the excursion ists, and no doubt was left in their iiiQds as to the truth of this claim when they took note of the prepara tions that had been made to receive them. After an exchange of greetings be tween merchants and customers, the visitors were escorted to the court house square where an exhibition drill was given by the hose teams of the Dallas Fire Department. Many words of praise were heard for the city's excellent water system.espeoially when two streams. were thrown hori zontally a distance of 200 feet from one-inch nozzles. The excursionists then scattered out through the busi ness district and called on the local merchants engaged in their respective lines of trade. Twenty minutes after the arrival of the train, the excursion ists were called to the depot, and amid hasty farewells and expressions of good-will, the special pulled out for McMinnville. Several bushels of big red apples from the orchards around Dallas were placed on the train dur ing the brief stay to acquaint the visitors with the fact that Polk county fruit, grown in well-kept orchards, is second to none in the world. The visit of the Portland business men was deeply appreciated and will long be pleasantly remembered. The necessarily limited stay in Dallas, however, caused general regret, and it is hoped that, when the merchants of the metropolis plan to visit us again, they will arrange to stay at least two or three hours and give the people an opportunity to show them the numerous commercial and in dustrial resources and advantages that make Dallas the best town of its size in Oregon. MOUNTAIN VIEW SCHOOL Dedication of New School Building in Polk County and Bestowal of Appropriate Name. The residents of school district No. 61 held a basket sooial at their new schoolhouse, one mile west of Salem on the Oak Grove road, Saturday eve ning, having for its object the dedica tion and naming of the new school- house, and the raising of funds to buy a new bell and other fixtures. The school house is on a new model, up-to-date in every respect. It contains two rooms, with partition so arranged as to be rolled back, thus making a fine large hall for exhibition purposes, entertainments, etc. It is heated and ventilated by the new system of cold air ducts, opening out under , the stoves, which have large steel jackets, thus sending the heat upward. The exhausted air following to the floor is drawn under the floor through venti lators, and thence out by the chim ney. The entertainment was a complete success, consisting of vocal and in strumental music, recitations, dia logues, etc. The Summit brass band was also present and acquitted itself with great credit. The baskets with lunch were auctioned off for $50. The name of the school was then voted on. and after a spirited contest, Mountain View School House" was declared the win ner. The schoolhouse is situated on an elevation, with the Cascade range and Mounts Hood and Jefferson in plain view. Injuries Cause Death. John V. Murphy died from the effects of a shock to his nervous sys tem, at his home in Falls City, Sun day morning. He had been afflicted with dropsy and heart trouble for several months, and had been con fined to the house the greater part of the time for a month prior to his death. Saturday evening he fell from the porch and broke his ankle. The injury, while painful, was not con sidered serious at the time, but later in the evening the unfortunate man began to sink rapidly, and at 3:30 o'clock Sunday morning he passed away. Mr. Murphy was born in Saline county, Missouri. October 6, 1854. and came to Oregon 20 years ago. He was an honest, kind-hearted man, and had many friends in his home community. He is survived by his wife and several brothers and sisters. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. F. Rounds, Monday afternoon, and burial took place in the I. O. O. F. cemetery at Falls City. nnue mnerueaiers i am trice, We TalK Quality and the Price.
