In taking steps tocausethe removal of all wooden awnings in Dallas, the council has set a good example by tearing down the old and dilapidated porch in tront of the City Hall. The appearance of the building is so greatly improved that the people are all wondering why the porch was not removed years ago. Wooden awnings are a relic of antiquity, and wnen old and decayed are a constant menace to life and limb. They are also a great obstacle in the way of fighting fire, as was demonstrated in the burn of the Kirkpatrick building a few weeks ago. To the credit of the town, it should be said that there are only a few wooden awnings remaining in the business district, and as they are nearly all In a bad state of repair, their removal will occasion little loss to the owners of the buildings.

Uglow Clothing House MILL STREET, LEADERS IN MEN'S CLOTHING AND FURNISHING GOODS DALLAS, OREGON 8 BACK FROM THE ISLANDS Mr. and Mrs. Walter Nichols Return From Two Years' Stay in the Philippines. Mr. and Mrs. Walter F. Nichols arrived home Wednesday evening from a two years' stay in the Phil ippine Islands. They sailed from Manila June 15 and arrived in San Francisco July 13. During their resi dence in Luzon, Mr. and Mrs. Nichols were in the employ of the Government as school teachers. Mr. Nichols was superintendent of schools in Bin alonan, a city of 14,000 inhabitants, 120 miles from Manila. He had charge of nine schools, with 1400 pupils. Mr. and Mrs. Nichols and one other teacher were the only Americans in the town. Mr. and Mrs. Nichols enjoyed their stay in the islands, but are glad to be back in the United States. According to their view, the Philippine country is a good place for Filipinos. Mr. Nichols says business in Manila is practically at a standstill, and few Americans are going there. He says the islands offer unlimited possibilities for the accumulation of wealth, but that in order to make money one must have a largo amount of money to start with. The most serious handicap to business throughout the lslandsis the lack of transportation facilities. This drawback will, he thinks, be overcome in time. The island of Luzon is rich in natural resources, and the work of development has only just begun. Mr. Nichols says that in undertaking to educate the natives of the Philip pines, the United States has a gigantic task on its hands. Ignorance aud superstition prevail everywhere, and the older people evince no desire to adopt American customs and man ners. The average native takes no interest whatever in American institu tions, and there is everywhere a strong undercurrent in favor of Independence. The young people, on the contrary, readily take up with the ways of the white people, and Mr. Nichols thinks that the only hope of Americanizing the islands lies in the younger gener ation. He says that the Filipino children, especially those in the primary grades, learn their, lessons as easily as does the average American child. The older and more advanced pupils, how ever, are slow to learn, and the task of teaching them requires much patience. It seems that the brain of one of these dark-skinned youths is capable of absorbing about a certain amount of "book learning," and that this amount is practically equivalent to the course taught in the primary schools of the United States. Mr. and Mrs. Nichols enjoyed the best of health during their entire stay in the islands. They are visiting at the home of Mrs. Nichols' parents, Trofessor and Mrs. W. I. Reynolds, and may decide to locate in Southern Oregon this Fall. L. F. SAVAGE The new musio man in the small goods department in the Allen & Gilbert Ramaker Co's.
