MILITIA BOYS ENTERTAIN
Vaudeville Show Draws large Crowds
In Dallas and Falls City.
Dramatic and musical talent of
Company H, assisted by friends of the
soldier boys, was seen to excellent ad
vantage In the vaudeville program
given at Woodman Hall In Dallas
Thursday night, and at Wagner Hall
in Falls City on Friday night. The en
tertainment was made up of ten num
bers all of a high order of excellence
and far more amusing and meritorious
than the performances given by the
average traveling vaudeville compa
nies that visit the Interior towns. The
boys played to a $100 house in Dallas
and to a $66 house In Falls City. The
net proceeds of the two performances,
about $00 will be used in paying ex
penses Incurred in the recent armory
election. : .
The trip to Falls City on Friday
evening wasnade by special train.
Following the performance a free
dance was given In the hall and over
100 couples indulged in dancing until
midnight,'
The boys of Company H have done
much to relieve the usual winter mo
notony with their carnivals and theat
rical performances, and their enter
prise is appreciated by the people of
Dallas. After the completion of the
new armory it is expected that there
will be no lack of popular entertain
ment to be furnished by local talent.

Engaged by Lincoln County.
County Surveyor B. F. Beezley,
whose fame as an engineer and scien
tific road builder is not confined to the
boundaries of Polk County, has been
engaged by the County Court of Lin
coln County to render expert assistance
in cross-sectioning and estimating the
work to be done there this summer on
an extensive system of county roads
between Toledo and Siletz. He has
gone to Toledo by the way of Corvallis

Maccabees' Delegates.
The names of I. Mehrling, of Falls
City, and G. H. Sloper, of Independ
ence, are given as reporting at rollcall
of delegates to the sixth quadrennial
state convention of Knights of the
Maccabees, which opened in Portland
last Friday. Nearly every pn of the
97 state lodges had a delegate in attendance.
In conjunction with the annual Arti
sans' picnic, which is to be held at
Rickreall, Saturday, June 3, it is plan
ned to hold a monster school picnic
for the especial benefit of all the
eighth grade pupils in Polk County,
and everybody else who wishes to have
a good time. The big celebration
which has been held every year by the
Artisans has generally been considered
the chief outdoor amusement feature
of the season, and this year It will sur
pass anything of the past. In addition
to the usual forma of picnic diversions,
bountiful lunches, social reunions and
red rubber balloons, there will be
plenty of gala-day music and speeches
by noted men.
For some time the Polk County
School Principals Club has been plan
ning to hold a picnic, and since the
Artisans were contemplating the same
thing, it was decided at a meeting of
the club last Saturday to consolidate
and make one huge event of it. On
the date chosen, the teachers and
eighth grade graduates from all over
the county will be in attendance to
participate in the graduating exercises,
which are to be held there, instead of
at the different schools, as heretofore.
Prominent men will be requested to be
present, to assist in the presentation
of diplomas and other ceremonies in
cident to the occasion. Later an
nouncements will be made as the work
of preparation progresses.
