Dallas Lawyer Frightened Away From ;

With our lumber mills and logging
camps running at their greatest
capacity, our grain fields yielding
bumper crops, and the price of hops
such as will make the yards a paying
proposition, Tolk County can justly
look for such prosperity this Fail as
has hever been equalled in the history
of the county. Money will be plentiful,
and the merchant, mechanic and
farmer alike will have the smile of
good times on their faces.
After reading the story of the dis
honest failure of the Milwaukee Ave
nue State Bank in Chicago, the
Chinese custom of chopping off the
heads of dishonest bankers doesn't
seem so heathenish after all.
The market quotations on prunes
are not encouraging to the growers.
The market has dropped from a 2J
basis early in the season to a lj-cent
basis now. The present price will
scarcely pay the cost of picking and
drying. Some of the heaviest growers
in the Dallas district were so fortunate
as to contract their crops at a higher
figure early In the season, and those
who have not sold believe that the
price will be better after the new crop
is harvested.
The report of the expert accountant
on the financial condition of Polk
county, printed elsewhere in this
paper, cannot beotherthan gratifying
to every taxpayerin thecounty. With
the big $100,000 indebtedness wiped
out, the county has a cash balance of
over $17,000 on hand, and all warrants
are cashed promptly upon presentation
at the Treasurer's office. The faithful
officers who have had a part in bring
ing about this desirable condition of
affairs are entitled to the thanks of
every citizen of the county. The ex
pert's report furnishes interesting
reading, and the County Court does
well in having it published In all the
newspapers of the county, thereby
giving it the greatest possible
publicity.
The executive committee of the Ore
gon Press Association met in Portland,
Monday, and decided upon Newport
as the place, and September 22, 23 and
21 as the time, for holding the annual
meeting of the association. Arrange
ments practically completed with the
railways will permit leaving Portland
on Friday, September 21, at 8:30 A. M.,
going direct to Newport on that day,
returning the following Tuesday. By
meeting late in September, the summer
rush to the beach will bo avoided and
the editors and their families will be
able to secure the very best hotel
accommodations at this popular sea
side resort. Every effort will be put
forth to make this a business meeting,
and the members of the executive
committee are at the opinion that
butter results will bo secured by wait
ing until the annual rush of visitors
is over. An excellent program is
being prepared for Ihe meeting, but
the greater portion of the time will bo
dovoted to the discussion of needed
legislation and uniform advertising
rateB for local papers throughout the
state. A profitable meeting and an
enjoyable time is anticipated, and
the attendance of newspaper men
promises to be large.

Aged Veteran Dies.
Alonzo Swartz, a veteran of the
Civil War, died from the effects of
paralysis and cancer at the home of his
son-in-law, Taylor Dunn, Wednesday
evening, at 7 o'clock. He was a native
of Pennsylvania, and was 70 years of
age. He came to Dallas from the
Soldiers' Home at Eoseburg about
three weeks ago. The remains were
taken to Salem for burial yesterday.

The orderly and law-abiding town
of Dallas has been enjoying a little i
notoriety of the unpleasant sort daring j
the last "few days. The existing state j
of affairs was caused by the arrest of
J. H. Flower, charged with corominicgj
a statutory crime, and the unfortunate!
incidents growing out of his pre-j
liminary hearing and acquittal. j
Flower was arrested Friday morn-j
icg upon a complaint charging him j
with having committed rape upon the ;
person of the 8-year-old daughter of;
James Boss, owner of the White Fiont j
livery stable. The alleged crime was j
said to have been commuted in
Flower's law office on Sunday after
noon, July 22. The preliminary hear
ing was held in Justice Hardy Hol
man's court, Friday evening, and
resulted in the discharge of the de
fendant The hearing was conducted
behind closed doors, and a large
number of witnesses gave testimony.
At the conclusion ot the hearing,
Justice Holman decided that Flower
had proved a clear alibi and was
entitled to be set free.
After the hearing bad been con
cluded, a number of citizens, who
were dissatisfied with the action of the
court in discharging the prisoner,
gathered on the street and organized
to take Flower's case into their own
hands. They went to his house in the
west end of town and made a thorough
search of every room, but were unable
to find him. It appears that Sheriff
Grant had warned Flower earlier in
the evening that the enraged citizens
might do him some injury, and
Flower, being thoroughly frightened,
had left town. Just what action the
midnight visitors had decided to take,
in the event that they should find the
suspected man at home, is not known,
After completing their, search and
satisfying themselves that Sheriff
Grant had told them the truth con
cerning Flower's flight from town, the
men withdrew from the bouse.
Flower is about SO years of age, and
has a wife and two children. Hecame
to Dallas from Salem about two years
ago and opened a law office next door
to the postoffice. He was a candidate
for the office of Representative from
Polk county last spring, but was de
feated at the primary election.

Lyle and his good wife. Mrs. Veazie's
children are Arthur and Clarence
Veazie, prominent lawyers of Port
land j Mrs. Julia Glenn, wife of Prof.
Glenn, of tho Oregon State University,
and Mrs. Editli Bryson, wife of E. J.

scientous officer and his retirement is
regretted by the patrons of the school.
