Many Forms of Entertainment Pro vided For the Thousand Who ". Were There. : The gigantic Joint picnic given by the Artisans and the Polk County teachers at Rickreall Saturday was a, complete success. Not a drop of rain fell, not a hitch, not an accident oc curred to mar the . day's plethoric round of pleasure. Thousands were In attendance. Polk County was there en masse . and Marlon and Benton and "old Yamhill,", and even Multnomah, were represented by : a goodly throng of recreation seekers, who helped to add toi the glory of Klckreall as the home of the picnic unsurpassable. By 7 o'clock in the morning the people were beginning to arrive on the grounds, and they kept coming In constantly increasing num bers until after noon. Tralnloads from the west and from the east came and wended their way along the winding road and they came In automobiles and they came In by hacks and in buggies from everywhere, and they were glad they were there and pitied those few who were no.t. No such vast number of people has ever attended any similar attraction in this part of the valley. Records Outdone. Long famous for the Blze and at tractiveness of their annual gatherings, the Artisans, assisted by the teachers, far exceeded all previous records and set a mark that they to borrow a phrase used by the State Superintend ent will have to "go some" If they beat next year. There was no lack of amusement 6r of entertainment. The literary pro grams were unusually replete, the sports were abundant and lively, and the conventional and time-honored concessions were there to contribute to the universal festivities. Every time you hit the cowbell you got a cigar; for every ring that could be thrown over the goose s heaa yuu tot another cigar, worse limn tne first; and for f)''p cent each you couluj throw cold-storage eggs at a suppo sitious negro's head. It did not hurt the extremely colored ge'man, but did help raise the price of a staple farm product. Nothing contributed more to the enjoyment of the picnic, "nothing was more universally admired or more generally or more deservedly praised, than the Dallas band. Their music struck the popular fancy, and al though they played many selections the cry was still for more, and the neat uniforms and fine individual ap pearance of its members won com mendation everywhere. Graduating Exercises, The event of the morning was the graduating exercises of the eighth grade classes of Polk County the largest similar class ever assembled in the state, comprising, as it did, some thing like 175 members. The appear ance of. that proud and happy band was an Inspiration in itself. Beneath the tapering firs and the broad and over-arching maples that canopied the scene, they stood in silent ex pectancy, awaiting that recognition of their studious labors which custom has decreed. No one could gaze upon those bright young faces and say that the common school system of Oregon is a failure. Not one who looked up on them but inwardly resolved that that system should be encouraged and extended and broadened, that those young learners might not be hindered In their search for the solution of the mysteries that lie before them, but that schools for the people, of the people and by the people might not perish from the arth. State Superintendent's Address. After a vocal duet, "Come Jose phine Into My Flying Machine," given by Miss Jean Mclnturff and Miss Lorette Shore, of the Monmouth high school. County Superintendent H. C. Seymour introduced State Superin tendent L. R. Alderman, who spoke as follows: I feel as If I was on top of Mount Hood trying to talk to the State of Oregon, but If you will bear witn me will try to talk as loud as I can. and I will try to make myself heard. did not expect to meet so many people as I find here today. It seems to me that this is a move In the right line. It shows progress. We are so cial beings. We have need to encour age this side of our nature. The ag ricultural commission appointed by President Roosevelt to inquire into the conditions of the rural communi ties, reported that one of the reasons why a large part of the people are flocking into the cities from the coun try wa. on account of the lack of so cial opportunities In the country. And. after looking upon the great numbers of people before me here today, I feel that this condition 1. not going to ex ist in Polk County. Fear. Were Groundless. "One of the reasons why we have gathered here today is to witness the graduating exercises of the largest class of eighth grade graduates that I class ever graduated- In Oregon." The ChatauquA Salute. - And when the class proudly stood in review, their chins held hish, their hearts throbbing with the glory of it, their class colors fluttering in the morning breeze, th vast assemblage gave the "Chatauqua salute" with hearty good will and the waving of countless handkerchiefs. "There are localities," said Super intendent Alderman, as the class re sumed their seats, "that are prouder of their livestock than they are of their boys and girls. I recently had occasion to visit a large farm given up to the raising of fine stock. The owner took me about from one place to an other of his land and pointed out the numbers of fine stock that he pos sessed. He proudly pointed them out one by one and told me their records. their histories and their values. He told me their ages and their various characteristics, all of which he had at his finger tips. When we had made the rounds, and were returning to the house, I said to him. How many children have you?' Tliey Were Thoroughbreds. "'Well, well,' he stammered, 'Let me see. There's nine nine, I think. "'How old Is this one?' He didn't know. But he did know the age of the next one, because one of his thor oughbred cows had died the, day the child was born. ' " 'Is it fitting that you know more about your cows than you do about your boys and girls?' I asked him " 'Yes, but you see these cows are thoroughbreds.' "I hope to see the time come in this country when we will think more of our boys and girls than we do of our thoroughbreds. "I am expected to speak to the class, and to give them advice. There are lots of things that can be said to a graduating class. It Is so easy to give advice. It is 'easier to give ad vice to 20 people than it is to be one of the 20 to follow the advice. But I do not feel the task very heavy. They do not need much advice. They have already received sufficient. But I do want to congratulate them upon the fact that they are here that they have graduated from the great public school system of ' the Nation; that they are here numbered among the great body of 17 millions of pupils, Hope of the Nation. "We are apt to be' pessimistic after reading the papers. We are apt to get the blues. We think that maybe this government of ours , cannot endure. I want to tell you, men and women, that if you could go with me over the State of Oregon you would witness classes of young men and women graduates all over the states There you would get the opposite side of the picture. The 72,000 boys and girls of Oregon are going to make this state what it should be. They are going to carry on the work of our forefatners. "We should believe in training the mind-so that we may be enabled to make this government the best possi ble government that can be made, It Is better to raise all of the people an inch than It is to raise a few of the people a mile, and that is what the public schools of this state are going try to do. If democracy means any thing, it means opportunities for all alike for the poor as well as the rich. Flixt Indian Graduate. "I notice we have In our class a native of this country (referring to a bright young Indian graduate from the Grand Ronde school, "and I want to congratulate you as the first graduate in the public schools of Or egon in the eighth grade. May God speed you on your way! "We have here something like 175 graduates of the eighth grade. I want to say to them that we, their friend., parents and well-wishers, are here to do them honor. That they have It largely In their power to do what they want to do. We are going to try to help them to try to be what they want to be. It is a great thing to know that any person can fix an Ideal and be able to attain it. Fix that ideal high. Then by work rach your Ideals. We will not be satisfied ln their not attaining their highest ideals. We want them to value time, for time is the thing of which life is made. We want them to believe in pluck. We want you to have pluck, grit and de termination. You may be what you would be. We want you to be the best that you can be. "I want to congratulate the people of Polk County upon the fact that you are going to have other gradea within the reach of these boys and girls. You voted at the last election to provide means for a high school fund. It is a worthy ambition of your County School Superintendent to have a high school within the reach of every pu pil in the county. Karnina; Capacllbw. "Some one with a gen I us-for figures has estimated that the earning capac ity of an eighth grade graduate Is $500 per year. That may appear a large sum, but when you come to re alize that bacon Is SO cents a pound, and that spring hats how much are spring hats? You see, I do not know how much spring hats are worth, be cause I always buy my wife's hat on the Installment plan. Well, when living is so high. 1500 4s not very much. The same' authority has figur ed that the average high school grad uate is worth $1200 a year. The dlf-' NO CELEBRATION HERE MERCHANTS DECIDE BENEFITS WILL NOT WARRANT EXPENSES. Prefer to Provide Money For Saturday Everting Rand Concerts During Summer. When comes July Fourth, the pat riotic eye peering out on Dallas town will not be greeted with the fluttering of gay tri-colored bunting in the cobly pleasant morning breeze, the patrt otic ear will not bear sweet strains of national airs or the shrill tones of the bugles calling merrily, nor will the patriotic nose inhale the pungent odor of exploded powder that like sweet incense tickles the nostrils of the small boy with an ecstatic enjoyment that is not always contagious. Con trary to its custom in alternate years, Dallas will not hold a public celebra tion this year in honor of the natal holiday. A decision to that effect was arrived at Wednesday night at the special meeting of the Commercial Club, after the question had been thoroughly threshed up one side and down the other by nearly every mem ber present. At first, the general sen timent was against the usual form of celebration, and In favor of a general picnic in the city park without any fuss and feathers, but It was flnallly decided to cut it out altogether, as the merchants did not think the bene fltB would warrant the expense neces sary. Prefer Band Concert, By way of atoning for this action, and for the purpose of assisting Dal las' peerless band, and at the same time adding to the social gaiety of the city on Saturday nights during the summer months, the Club enthusias tically paved the way for weekly con certs to be given on the court house plaza, and In order to back up its the ory that such entertainments would be of value to the town, the Club voted to contribute the sum of $10 toward the cost of each performance, the remainder of the amount required to be made up by popular subscrip tions. A committee consisting of R. E. Williams, W. A. Ay era and C. L. Crlder was appointed to solicit the subscriptions. Manager J. L. White, of the Oregon Power Company, offer ed to furnish gratis the necessary electric lights and current for the concerts if the band would provide proper supports. Street Lighting. At the suggestion of R. B. Wil liams, Manager White presented to the consideration of the members of the Club a project of providing the main business streets with the latest and most successful form of cluster lights, such as are being adopted by most of the leading towns. His plan Included the installation of 25 iron posts, to be placed on Main street, between Oak and Washington, and on Mill and Court near Main, and for half a block on the north and south sides of the court house . plaza. On behalf of the company he offered to donate $50 toward the cost of install ation, and to provide for the mainte nance and to furnish the current at a cost of about $1 per month per mer chant. The matter was referred to the board of managers for consideration. The Club is making strenuous ef forts to obtain a fruit packing estab lishment for Dallas, and a representa tive of a big Eastern company has been here looking over the situation. Further data required by the agent will be gathered and forwarded. A Kansas City commission mer chant who wished to come to Dallas to establish a commission house, dealing in farm produce, Is in correspondence with the Club, and an effort will be made to induce htm to come here. A fruit evaporating plant and a furniture factory are among other enterprise, that are seeking location, here. DANDELION EXTERMINATOR Iron Sulphate Spray Said To Remove 'Them From Iawm, WILLAMINAS NEXT SUNDAY If you follow the appended direc tions, you will be able to kill all the dandelions in your lawn without dig ging It full of holes or keeping a man busy for several days at considerable expense. Furthermore, the weeds will stay killed. Of course; if your neighbor's lawn is full of ripened seeds, in the course of time yours will be re-seeded. This, however, will not be difficult to manage. ' The chemical used is Iron sulphate. A 100-pound sack will last quite while. Obtain a small hand sprayer of brass, with glass, wooden or rubbei fittings. Iron or other metals are soon eroded. Put the well-mixed solution, after carefully straining It, into the sprayer at the rate of two pounds of the chemical to one gallon of water, Pump up the sprayer till you get in the neighborhood of 100 pounds pres sure to the square inch. If you cannot obtain that pressure to a certainty, pump as much as you can, for on the pressure depends the success of t.ie work. Have a small hose attached to the sprayer, on the end of which is brass tube about three feet long with the nozzle on the end of it. Hold the nozzle about six to eight Inches from the ground and apply the mixture to; the lawn. The spray should not be used as a sprinkle, but as a very fine mist, to be effective. The chemical will turn the tips of the grass black, but this will not last long, for one clipping will remove it Old and large heads may require second spraying to completely remove them, but usually one treatment will completely get rid of the pest, says writer in the' Oregonian. Along with the dandelions, all rough leaved plants will go too, leaving only the grass to grow. " The principle on which the results are obtained is simply that the grass, being a smooth, waxy-leaved plant, does not hold the poisonous chemical on its blades. It falls off, but remains on the rough surfaced dandelion and, If the spray is line enough, attacks the plant on the under side, entera in to the pore, and poisons the plant root and branch. Clover, being rough surfaced plant, is affected like the dandelion. In applying, do not let the chemical or spray come in contact with, good clothes, iron, building, or' cement sidewalks, for all are discolored more or less , Strain the mixture before you put it in the sprayer and do not be alarmed if you lawn looks black for a short time. It will recover easily. SATURDAY NIGHT CONCERTS Dallas Band Gives First Weekly Fro gram on Court House Plaza. ever assemmea .n me u.

Fred Elliott, who has bwn taking careful Inventory of his fruit trees, believes that the scare about a short age to fruit this year is unjusunrc. The Dallas band gave Its first week ly concert on the court house plaza last Saturday evening, to a fairly good sized audience, who braved the un comfortably cool air to listen to the Impromptu program of musio prepar ed by Director U. S. Grant The band boy. had been on duty all day at the Rickreall picnic, and were somewhat fatigued, but they did well and their effort, were appreciated. At the last meeting of the Com mercial Club, step, were taken to en gage the band for regular weekly concerts throughout the summer, and beside, pledging $10 per week from the Club, a committee consisting of R. E. Williams, W. A. Ayre. and C. I Crlder waa appointed to solicit sub scriptions to pay the remainder of the amount required. The Idea proved popular from the first, and the bus! ness men subscribed willingly, and it Is now assured that the concerts will be given regularly each Saturday night on the plaza from now until the first of September. The idea of holding the concerts has met with universal favor, and they will draw big crowds throughout the Mason. Through the courtesy of Manager J. L. White, of the Oregon Power Company, a streamer of electric light bulb. ha. been provided for the use of the band during the concerts. A still better system of lighting will be furnished later.

One artificial lake la divided in half by a low wall, over which is a board walk. On one side are rainbow trout three years old, some of them 14 Inches in length. Dr. Starbuck and Fred Toner, of Dal las, each caught some of the larger ones, Sunday. On the other side are 6,000 small speckled trout from the Clackamas government hatchery. To see ' the water "alive" with ' these beautiful fish is a most attractive sight ' Mr. Teal feeds them with a spoon of good size, and none of them are allowed to go .hungry. The Hatchery. The hatchery building, snuated at the base of a hill from which Issues a large spring, is arranged for hatch ing the spawn from the larger fish in the lake, and caring for the "Infants" until they are old enough to care for themselves. The building is designed for the propagation of mountain trout, and contains three troughs, one at each side and one In the center. Pure cold water from the spring run. through the troughs. Many applianc es required in the work are within easy reach. The artificial lake In front of the building is larger and deeper than the other lake, and has an iron pipe in It which extends back to the spring a number of curved and perforated pipes extend upward from the main pipe several feet above the water, and from these come streams that cool' the lake in summer, and . help to scare the greedy kingfishers. ! Caring- For the Eggs. The eggs, after being taken from the fish, are placed in a wire basket, which is suspended In one trough; when hatched, the young fish leave the basket, and when of a certain age are transferred to the- breeding and feeding ponds. The whole process is carried on in a simple and scientific manner by Mr. Teal, with little re gard for profit, labor and expense. Mr. Teal has done a great deal of work on his place, and people are Just beginning to learn that here 1. one of the beauty spots that is well worth a day's visit The many springs, the hills and vales and pine covered mountains, the fields, gardens and orchards, and the peace and quiet that prevails everywhere, furnish at tractions that are alluring to all who love to commune with nature.
