Tha anDroach of the Pall season

auction Saturday morning Tour lots in
Independence and three in Buena
Vista, that had been bid In by the
county at the delinquent tax sales
three years ago and had never been
redeemed. B. Wilson, of Indepen
dence, secured one of the lots in that
city and the remainder were bid in by
Virgil Massy, of McCoy, the sun
received by the county for the whole
amount, being $37.63 a trifle more
than the amountof the taxes affd costs
against the land.

Smith & Shelton, proprietors. 9-8-2t
The uninsulated surface of a live
wire coming in contact with one of the
pillars In the front of the brick build
ing occupied by the (-tores of P. A.
Finseth and Simonton & Scott yester
day afternoon electrified the whole of
the iron work in the building and was
the cause of considerable excitement
and curiosity for a few minutes until
the cause of the phenomenon was dis
covered and removed.
It was first noticed by one of the
customers enteringSimonton &Scott's
store. The sidewalk was still wet from
the recent rain and as he planted his
moist shoe sole on the iron lintel, he
received a sudden and unexpected
shock of electricity that fairly lifted
him off his feet.
Although considerably taken aback
he tried it again with a similar result,
and then hastened to ask the Inmates
of the store what had happened to their
building. In a few minutes a curious
crowd had collected about the stores,
testing the force of the mysterious cur
rent that seemed to prevade every
atom of metal in the entire structure,
and waiting eagerly to see each new
comer make the attempt and get "bit"
even as they bad been.
The impromptu joke was ended by
the arrival of an electrician who
hastened to arrange an Insulation for
the wire at the point of its contact
with the iron work of the building,
whereupon the posts and door steps
suddenly lost that mysterious "llve
ness" that had for a short time per
vaded them, and with the vanishing
ot this quality the crowd rapidly
dwindled away.
Bert Wonderly, of Falls City, wa8 a
business visitor in Dallas, Friday.
Shriners Were Royally Entertained.
The Mystic Shriners sent a goodly
representation from, Dallas on the
pilgrimage to Eugene, Saturday j and
the members of the delegation return
log Sunday were loud In their praise
of the reception that had been accorded
them. Everything from the decora
tions up was as nearly perfect as
possible, they say, and every Mason
in Eugene, Shriner or no Shriner,
kept open house and extended the
heartiest hospitality toward the visi
tors from other cities. Those going
from Dallas were: E. C. Kirkpatrlck,
R. E. Williams, W. V. Fuller, D. J.
Riley, Oscar Hayter, Conrad Stafrln,
Dr. Mark Hayter, J. L. Sweeney and
O. N. Cherrlngtoo.
T. W. Wyatt, of Black Rock, was a
business visitor in Dallas yesterday.
A number of the representative
physicians ot Polk and Yamhill
counties met in the K. P. ball In this
city last night and entered a temporary
organization, electing officers and
appointing a committee to draw up
constitution and by-laws for the.
association, which will be permanently
organized at a meeting set for the
first Monday in December, to be held
In McMinnville. The new organiza
tion will be called "The Yamhill and
Polk County Medical Association."
A pleasant and profitable hour was
spent after the close of the business
meeting in a general discussion and a
helpful exchange of ideas. The mem
bers are looking forward to the accom
plishment of much good in their future
organized aUle and anticipate large
additions to their membership from
the ranks of the medical men of other
counties adjoining these two.
The officers elected were : Dr. Oil-
strap, of Sheridan, president; Dr.
Bollman, of Dallas, secretary and
treasurer pro tern. Drs. Starbuck,
Bollman and McCallon were appointed
on the committee to draw up a consti
tution and by laws for a permanent
organization.
Nashville Students Tonight.
The Nashville Students has always
been a company, selected by the man
agement for their singing quality. It
has long been conceded that no one
can get the harmony and music out of
those songs like the real darkey.
There is also added to the entertain
ment, plenty of good, clean comedy,
and some of the latest and most popu
lar ballads of the present time. There
is nothing so entertaining as a good
singing Bhow, and the management
of the Nashville Students certainly
bad that in mind, when he selected
the present company. From the time
the curtain goes up, there is always
something doing, either in singing
their old southern ballads, for which
the negro Is noted, or some of the
latest songs of the day with the entire
company Bingtog the chorus. If you
can afford only one show this season,
don't miss this one the best ot all
colored shows. At' Woodman Hall
tonight.
Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Massy, of
McCoy, were visitors In Dallas, Fri
day, on business.
George Ball, a prominent bopgrower
of Ballston, was a business visitor In
Dallas, Friday.
Business Men Confer With Father
McDevitt Concerning Proposals to
x Found Catholic Institution. '
Several of the business men and
physicians of Dallas held a conference
with the Rev. Father H. J. McDevitt
in tho office of Dr. A. B. Starbuck yes
terday afternoon and discussed the
subject of founding a hospital in this
city.
A number of fine locations and
beautiful buildings have been offered
for the purpose, but they made no
final selection at yesterday's meeting,
preferring to inquire more fully into
the matter before arriving at a defi
nite decision. The residences that
have been offered for the purpose of
being converted into a hospital are
the James Howe, Marr, 8 to u Her, Bar
ham, Biddle, F. J. Coad and Conkey
property, all fine buildings, in pleas
ant surroundings and advantageous
locations.
Before taking action however, they
requested Father McDevitt to com
municate with his superiors and
obtain definite Instructions, so that he
might let them know just what would
be expected of them in launching and
oaring for the new enterprise.
Father McDevitt will confer with
his superiors in Portland at once, and
will let the citizens of Dallas know
within a short time what they may
expect and what assistance will be
expected of them. There Is a strong
sentiment In favor of the new project
among the people of Dallas, and many
regard the new hospital already as
practically an assured thing.
The size of this city and its peculiarly
central position to a vast number of
industries in which accidents are
liable to occur, whose victims demand
prompt and skillful attention, makes
it an exceptionally good plaoe for the
location ot a hospital, and the benefits
that would be derived from such an
institution by people residing in and
about this city will be almost
Immeasurable.
Ladies, Attention!

Bertha Toner will hold a grand open

cordially invited to be present and

Miss Myrtle Cotrill, who has been
visiting at tbe home of Mr. and Mra.
H. P. Shrlver, left for her home In
Centralia, Sunday.
Hop picking was commenced under
rather unfavorable weather conditions
in nearly all of the hop yards in this
vicinity yesterday morning. All day
Saturday the busy preparations for
the commencing of tbe harvest were
evident in the large crowd of shoppers
on the streets of Dallas, and In a
single day, the huge pyramids ot
woven lath bop baskets piled In front
of many ot the stores dwindled almost
to nothing under the persistant raids
of those who were preparing for the
two weeks' outing in the hopyards.
On Sunday, clouds began to hang
low giving ominous threats for the
morrow and scarcely? bad the hop
pickers commenced work yesterday
when these threats were made good by
a heavy downpour of rain, which con
tinued intermittently throughout the
day effectually putting a stop to the
picking and driving the bedraggled
orews back Into town before noon.
Hop growers do not anticipate a con
tinuance of the rainy weather, and
what little rain has already fallen will
do littleor no damage to the hops. The
season thus far has been almost Ideal
and the bops of the 190S crop will as a
result, be of a very superior quality.
The reduced yield bids fair to result
in an advance In prices, and bop
growers and dealers are viewing the
situation with much greater confidence
than they did last year.
The number of pickers employed In
the yards about Dallas is almost as
large as ever In spite of the fact that
several large yards have been dropped
from cultivation. The season will
last about two weeks, and the pickers
expect to make larger earnings than
usual this year owing to the light foil
age, which makes It possible to pick
more rapidly and still keep the hops
up to the standard of cleaness.
Injured by Falling Woodpile.
J. W. Miller was quite painfully
Injured while working with one of the
wood saws Friday, by the falling of a
woodpile. Mr. Miller was stooping to
pick up a stick from the bottom of the
pile, when the whole mass of wood
gave way and tumbled down upon his
head and shoulders bruising and lac
erating them and knocking him sense
less. Medical assistance was necurod
at once and at present Mr. Miller Is
Improving nicely.
Elmer E. Strayer came up from Port
land, Saturday night, for a visit with
his Dallas friends.
