DALLAS, ORE.
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.
