F : : i I rvri a W V TT TTa I I S B8 MBKI 1. mil The Secretary of the Treasury rec om mended an appropriation for Crater Lake Natkmal Park of $21,745. Out of this amount $14,000 is to be ex pended in the construction of roads and trails. The Secretary's estimates are based upon the estimates submitted by the superintendent of the park in bis annual report to the Secretary of the Interior. "Guilty," the jury has said after a long consideration and Abe IJeuf, whom Justice has been so long follow ing like a ferret, through the Intricato aud tortuous paths that he bas been traveling in bis efforts to elude it, is at last driven from cover, to receive the sinister reward for his sinister and blighting work in the city of Sao Francisco. A just verdict and one that will meet with the unqualified approval of every worthy citizen of the United States, but a verdict neverthe less, that should have been given nearly three years ago. The Polk County Poultry Raisers' Association will hold its second annual iMtiltry show at Dallas next week. At least four hundred tine fowls will be on exhibition during the three days of the show. Fine plumage, elegant carriage and weight above the aver a will b points of interest in this exhibit. But what the general public would most like to know is whether the Polk county poultry raisers have succeeded in developing a breed of hens that can be depended upon to supply the market with eggs through out the year. Oregon lao A brei'd of hens that could do all that, would bo (to adhere strictly to technical terms) almost as rare as the proverbial hen's teeth, but It Is a cer tainty that if they are to be found any where, Polk county is the place to look for them. The most important subject dis cussed at the meeting of the Mer chants' Protective Association last night was the prospect of the Spauld lng sawmill being removed from Dal las unless satisfactory terms can be made between the company and cer tain parties owning property along the LaCreole. with regards to the company's rights to drive logs down to its sawmill by means of flooding. Already the logging company claims that it has made concessions to a greater extent than should be reasonably demanded, but several property owners aie demanding still further concession on its part, which if granted would make it -impractic able for it to continue to operate the mill in Dallas. As the easiest solu tion of the problem, the company pro poses to tear down its mill here and move the equipments to aewberg, where the supply of logs may be brought in over the railroad. Such a step, if followed out, would take an important industry out of this city, cut off a pay roll of several thousand dollars a month, and event ually oblige a large number of the residents of Dallas to seek homes else where, seriously impairing the indus trial prosperity of the city and check ing its development to a marked degree. The members of the Protective Association realizing the importance of the matter have taken it up and will use their influence to bring about its speedy and satisfactory adjustment. Messrs. L. H. Shultz, E. N. Hall and Willis Simonton were appointed on a committee to draw up resolutions bearing on the question and the association will make an effort to bring about an agreement between the parties concerned, that will make it possible for Dallas to retain this important industry, BLUFF If you will come and get our prices you will be convinced that we are selling at cost and below.

I DISCOUNT Fine up-to-date garments, broken in sizes but lots of different styles to choose from and every one a It seems that the "doad wall ad," like the poor, Is a thing that we are to "havo always with us." A few years ago, came men with paint and brushes who uiu ueenrato (,ir tne word may be indeed be used legitimately. In thut sense) every blank wall available, with raw und audible blazonry, setting forth the merits of a certain cigar. One by one, as walls were torn down or mercifully repainted, these boister ous atrocities were obliterated until It was, In some parts of the city, possible for ono to walk as many as four blocks without being confronted by their (laming letterings. Hut now, just as tho milloniiim seems about to dawn upon us, come-yet othor men with yet other paints and brushes and proceed toextol Hull Durham tobacco in riot ous profusion on every available wall that has been laboriously reclaimed from tho devastations of their pre decessors. And truly the lattnr con dition of those walls is far worse than the first. COURT HOUSE NOTES Item of Interest From the Records in the County Office Hriefly Told. ritOHATK.
