fEN THOUSAND DOLLAR BUILD
ING THOUGHT NECESSARY
TO KEEP PACE WITH
CITY'S GROWTH.
Iake formal application
imount of Original Request to Be
Doubled Ample Funds Available
For Maintenance Curfew Ordin
ance to Be Enforced After Tap of
Bell at 8 0' Clock Each Night.
I Dallas is to have a $10,000 Carne
fie public library building. In an-
fwer to the application of the city
for a $5000 building, the great steel
imimfacturer has suggested that the
latter amount was too small for the
growing needs of a town the size of
t,is, and named $7500 as better. At
the meeting of the city council Mon
thly night it was decided to accept the
fecommendntion and increase the
jvquest to $10,000, and the mayor and
city auditor were instructed to make
formal application for that amount.
I The Carnegie libraries are built by
Carnegie's money on condition that
the city wherein they are located
jKhall raise each year a fund for main
tenance equal to ten per cent of the
Original cost of the building. A half-
Jmill tax on the property in Dallas
now produces about $(i()0 annually,
'and it is safe to say that with the
Increase in valuation, together with
jthe amount raised by the tag-day
jKalfs, there will be no trouble in
meeting the conditions requiring the
ten per cent of maintenance.
Enforce Curfew.
I The eurfew ordinance is to be en
forced hereafter. The night officer
.lias been directed to tap the fireliell
at 8 o'clock every night, and after
J hat time every person under 18
ears of age is supposed to be at
bome, unless in the care of a parent
'r guardian.
I Thf ordinances calling for street
.mprovemonls to be made next year,
jas heretofore announced in The Ob
server, and for the construction of a
j-ewer on Oregon avenue, Ash street
t and 1'glow avenue, were read the tirst
s'ime.

Present Planting Is 22,000 Acres,
But Counting Proposed Addition,
Fully 34,000 Acres Will Be In Crop
During Coming Year, More Than
Ever Before.
With the. hon market now firmly
established at 45c a pound and with
nrosriects that 50c niav be paid be
fore' the season is over, excitement in
the local trade is the most intense
ever known, says the Portland Jour
nal. The aerensre at the present time in
the Willamette Valley is estimated
at 22,000 acres. There will be an in
crease of 12,000 acres in the growth
during the coming year, making the
probable total acreage in hops next
year 34,000 acres, or 2000 acres more
than ever known before. A few years
ago when hops reached 32c a popund
here there were 32,000 acres in hops
in the Willamette Valley. This was
gradually cut until only about 20,000
acres remained.
Increase Expected.
Growers are refusing offers for re
maining supplies of hops and on all
sides efforts are being made to in
crease the acreage. While it will
tnke about two years for hops to pro
duce, the increased planting is ex
pected to influence next year's
prices.
The sensation of the trade yester
day was the purchase of about 250
bales of hops in the St. Paul district
by McNeff Bros, at 45c a pound.
This cleaned up the entire district.
Recent Sales.
'The purchase by McNeff Bros, at
the 45c mark Saturday brings to
mind the contract made by the same
firm on August 17 of 250 bales at
the same price. At that time it was
generally stated by the trade that
the price was several cents aDove me
actual market and was not paid, but

MONMOUTH CITIZENS EN MASSE DEDICATE HIGH SCHOOL
Modern $20,000 Building Erected
dependent
MONMOUTH, Or., Nov. 21. The citizens of Monmouth turned
out in large numbers Friday afternoon to dedicate the new public
school building recently erected Dy
When the proposal to, erect a
maintained by some that since the state wished to use the children
of the district in the normal training department the state should
house and equip the school. In a measure this had been done in
years previous, but those who headed the movement for new things
insisted that the district should maintain its own school at its own
expense, just the same as Dallas or Independence or Roseburg, or
any other district in the state does, and that if the state wished to
use the Monmouth schools for training work it could have the privi-
lege, but must stand the expense of all extra cost made necessary
by the normal school's demands.
So at the present time the citizens of the Monmouth district
have built a $20,000 house, are equipping it. with apparatus for a
good public school, are paying their teachers salaries the average of
those of three neighboring towns, all larger than Monmouth, pay
their own janitor, own fuel, light and power bills in fact, are edu-
eationally independent and ask nothing of the state.

625,000 OF NEW VARIETY SE
CURED FROM YELLOWSTONE
PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 21. Six
hundred and twenty-five thousand
black spotted trout are being held at
the Bonneville hatchery, all of which
will be released in the various waters
of the state as soon as the special
tanks that are being constructed are
completed and the little fish are old
enough to take care of themselves.
These trout eggs were secured from
the Yellowstone country, where they
were taken by the Government.
This release of trout is especially
rWiirnated to assist in tbe re-stock
ing of several of tbe streams of the
state. Under authority of the State
Fish and Game commission, War
den Finlev has been instructed to
designate the waters into, which the
trout will be liberated. Under the
state law, any stream may be closed
hv the commission for a period, for
the purpose of re-stocking or protect
ing fish.
Close Small Streams.
To entail as little hardship as pos
sible upon tbe anglers of the state,
the State Game Warden believes
that some of the upper small tribu
taries of the rivers of the state would
ba the best grounds for the trout
Tbe tributaries will then be closed
for two or three years, and at the
expiration of that time opened again,

No such numbers have ever attended
