MACADAM STREETS.
The Observer gave the macadam
streets five years In which to wear out
and become worthless. So much time
was not necessary. Three years would
have been enough. But we desired to
be liberal about It and threw in two
years for good measure. Eighteen
months have passed, and what do we
see? Mud! Just plain, old-fashioned
Oregon mud! What shall we see
next? More mud and, also, chuck
holes! Then the expense of patching
will begin, and every year it will grow
worse. Such is the history of mac
adam In every other town in the Un
ited States, and Dallas will be no ex
ception to the rule. What will follow
next? Disgusted property-owners will
arise in their wrath and demand the
Improvement which they should have
asked in the first place smooth sur
faced pavement. And they will get
It. If the council then In power re
fuses to grant it, the people will elect
a council that will. The hard pave
ment will come.
The hard pavement should have
been adopted when the city abandoned
the old method of street Improvement.
It was short-sighted policy and poor
economy that prompted the property
owners to avoid the expense of
smooth pavement and substitute mac
adam. There are three periods in j
the evolution of a town the gravel
period, the macadam period, and the
hand pavement period. That Is to
say, in the evolution of most towns. A
few towns are wise and skip the mac
adam period altogether and thereby
save money. Dallas should have been
In this latter class. It would seem
that a town which Is decidedly a "live
one" along all other lines of growth
and development, ought to have been
among the live ones In the Improve
ment of Its streets. A former resi
dent of Dallas, who is still a loyal
rricna to the town and Interested in
its welfare, said to the writer not long
ago: "Why didn't the people over at
home put down hard pavement? Dal
las is too good a town to be fooling
with macadam." lie was right. A
live, growing town like Dallas owed It
to Itself and to the good reputation It
enjoys over the state to improve its
ousiness streets with the smooth sur
face pavement. Both of the newspa
pers of the town, and many of the
property-owners, cried long and loudly
for the hard pavement, but a few tax
payers objected and the council saw
v iu listen to the objectors. It
seemed as If, In our state of evolution,
we had to pass through the usual
course of experiments. We have pass
ed through the gravel stage, and are
now in the macadam stage. Some day
we shall go on to the hard pavement
stage the stage of permanent im
provement But let no one deceive himself into
thinking that by resorting to mac-1
adam we have saved moncv fi
wm prove the folly of that course.
Thousands of dollars were wasted In
Dallas on gravel streets; thousands
more have been wasted on macadam.
It is true the property-owner.

Just beginning. It is louder now than
it was last winter, and another year
It will be louder still. Already the
o, uecoming dlngusted with
the sloppy, muddy crossings which
have replaced the old-time crosswalks
and pretty soon, when the expense of
patching begins, the murmurlngs will
develop into a roar. The roar will
bring the desired results. The town
will never go back to the gravel; the
.rU,B wm object to a further use of
crushed rock, and smooth pavement
will afford the only relief In sight
When that method of Improvement
shall be adopted. Dulla. will begin to
grow as It deserves to grow.
For proof of the correctness of thi.
sumem. we have only to look at
town, about us. Salem wus an over
grown crossroads village until It be
gan to pave Its streets. Today It Is
one of the liveliest towns In the val
ley. For forty years, it had only one
prominent street. Today It has three

few Jeors iro
'away. Let us refuse, then, to throw
away more. Crushed rock Is not pave
ment. It is a substitute for pavement
and a poor substitute, at best. It
serves Its purpose fairly well in the
residence district, where the traffic Is
light, but on the business streets Its
life is short and its appearance Is
shabby. We would all like to be able
to feel proud of our streets, especially
those of us who have been obliged to
dig up our good money to pay for
them; but there are some things that
stretch loyalty and patriotism to the
breaking point, and prominent on
this list are our macadam thorough
fares.

Youthful Sweethearts Are Located
In Chicago and All Ends
Happily.
You may lock a maiden in a tower,
Full fourteen stories hieh;
And guards by the dozen, whom none

On her may keen their eye:
Though an angry sire may boil with

Whatever may be his "nay."

That love will find a way.
day and the 111 fortune which for a
time pursued William A. Schneck and
his bride after they eloped Tuesday
from Wauwatosa, Wis., was forgotten
at the La Salle hotel last night in a
pretty wedding ceremony of whose
legality there could be no doubt. So
after all the youthful! sweethearts
will not be separated and they will
tnke their wedding trip to Cuba Just
as they secretly planned.
It was late yesterday morning that
F. W. Schneck, father of the groom,
and Charles E. Wilson, father of the
bride, after a long conference an
nounced that the matter would be
amicably adjusted if the runaways
would consent to a second ceremony.
The bride, who had spent the night
with her father, and young Schneck
readily agreed.

So runs the song in a popular opera
and since the beginning of time some
thing more than a million love-sick
young couples have given ample d
onstration that the librettist knew
what he was writing about when he
penned the above lines. That their
truth has been demonstrated to the
full satisfaction of Charles E. Wilson,
once a popular Dallas boy in the em
ploy of a local drug firm, but now a
leading business man of Wauwatosa,
Wisconsin, Is evidenced by the follow
ing story from the Chicago Inter-
ocean. As usual, the angry fathers
chased wildly in pursuit of the elop
ing youngsters, and, as usual, the af
fulr ended happily by the irate sires
coming ir -"-'uHy off the perch and
prono- the expected "filess you.
my Ci-.w.en!" The Inter-Ocean says:
To be wedded and parted within
twelve hours was the experience of
Naomi Wilson, a 15-year-old high
school girl of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin,
who yesterday eloped to Chicago with
William Schneck, who Is not quite 21
years old.
Married In Waukegan and, as they
believed, safely lost in Chicago, they
were suprised at the Morrison hotel
by two Central stution detectives, act
ing under orders of the girl's father,
Just as they were starting for the thea
ter. "But we're married now and though
they may keep us apart for a little
while, I know it will nut be for long."
was the statement of the pretty little
bride last night, as her father led her
away with him and left her boy hus
band to spend the night alone at his
hotel,
Naomi is the daughter of Charles E.
Wilson, of Wauwatosa, connected with

Ever abreast of the times, Charles
H. Morris has thoroughly remodeled
and refurnished his beautiful Jewelry
store on Mill Street. Mr. Morris has
had this improvement in mind for
several months, but was unable to
carry it Into effect until the Independ
ent telephone office was moved Into
another building.
The new furniture consists of wall
cases, show cases, desks, and Jewelers'
benches, beveled plate mirrors, and a
handsome linoleum. The furniture is
all of quarter-sawed oak, of simple
but rich design. The window fixtures
are built of oak, mirrors and French
plate, and are as modern as can be
found in any of the large cities on the
coast.
The new store is creditable alike to
its owner and to Dallas and has no
superior among the Jewelry stores of I
Western Oregon for beauty and rich
ness of design, or for quantity and
quality of stock. Mr. and Mrs. Morris
are proud of their remodeled store
and are glad to have their friends and
customers call and see it.
