Others intimated that the senator's "fever" couldn't be charged to the water, but the intimation was spurned in dignantly by the senator. The fact of the matter and those who have been so fortun ate as to en.iov the snlendid artioU found in Dallas are slow to use any more of the Salem stuff than is ab solutely 'necessary. The big tank in the capitol lobby has a filter attached to it .while the members of the legis lature have access to boiled aqua pnra, which, while it may be "aqua" all. right, isn't so "pura" as it might be. Representative Hill, of In dependence, is having a hard time of it. He is a teetotaler, does not even imbibe to the extent of coffee or tea, and his favorite drink is buttermilk. But Salem butter has been milked so effectually that the supply is limited and so Hill is put to it to quench his consuming thirst. He says he hates to drink the water and the boiled article is poof stuff. Verd may eat snow this week. Appropriations Will Get Ax.

The same is true of the Panama-Pacific appro priation. Everybody is agreed that something must be done along this line, but there is vast difference in opinions as to the right figure. The question of the appointment of a commission to handle the fund also bothers the legislators. It is made the province of the Governor to name this commission, and there are many of the more rabid partisans who would like to arrange matters so that he wouldn't have this plum to hand out. Patronage Plums Bother. Nor is this all. The several bills proposed for changes in the judiciary system invariably call for new offi cials, or changes in those now in office, which require the appoint ment of others, and this duty is usually given the governor. One bill by Senator Carson, of Marion, which contemplates a new judicial district to be known as the Twelfth and to be composed of the counties of Polk ana lamniii, requires the naming of a circuit judge and the governor is given the power. Another, which contemplates the elimination of the district prosecuting attornev, and seeks to create the office of county attorney in every county, also pro vides that the governor shall name these county prosecutors, but an amendment mill be tacked on to that, permitting the present deputy prosecuting attorneys to act until the nest election.

Those who were averse to braving the storm on Friday night to witness the scrimmage between Pacific Col lege, of Newberg, and the Second Militia team, of this place, missed the opportunity of the season for rapid work, the home guards winning by the outrageous score of il to 17. The first half ended with the score 13 to 14 in favor of the Newberg team. After that three points were all that the Dallasites would allow although the visitors insisted in no timid way upon ' an- increase of points. The college team increased in rouhgness, but gained little by this style of play. In several in stances the college boys neglected the work of finding baskets and pro ceeded to administer some sort of punishment to the soldier boys, and at the end of the game matters were at fever heat. The attendance was very small, notice of the game having been nec essarily short, the weather being stormy and the walks covered with snow. The new home team made up for this occasion to meet the Yamhill fellows was composed of Smith and liiestand, centers; Boydston and Van Orsdcl. forwards: Foster, Ma- theny and Burk, guards. The visitors showed plainly lack of seasoning for their rough stive ot play, but may win the Willamette Valley pennant, for which they are striving.

Four hundred and fifty-five peopl witnessed the program given by the Woman s club at the Armory Saturday night, the program lasting through three hours of delightful en tertainment. There was very little variation in the program, the only change being the addition of two violin solos by Mrs. Holman, of Salem, which met with favor. Prac tically every seat was filled and the ladies of the club express them selves as highly pleased with the at tendance. Very few had expected that Mrs, Gilbert MacGregor, or any other person, could have handled the large huterpean chorus under her in struction in such masterful way, and many compliments have been heard upon her able work. The chorus was made up of untrained students and the musical score oeupied 41 pages of music, which were committed to memory in a remarkably short time. It has been decided to retain the chorus for the opening of the Libra ry, and the members will be kept in preparation for this event. The folk dance, with its pretty movements, captured the audience, and the enocres which were respond ed to with catchy Insh and Swedish songs, threw the vast audience into a happy mood. One-half of the proceeds of the entelainment goes to the Students' Loan fund of the Federation of Wo- man s cfuos, ana tne ouier nan 10 the piano fund, which is to be used for the purchase of a piano for the assembly room of the Carnepe lib rary.

The tracks were covered to a good depth, but where the- grades ere heavy or extra power was need ed to move the trains extra engines ere used. On Saturday extra loco motives were used in giving the pas senger and freight trains a clear ance from the yards and an extra force of men was employed to clear the yards and tracks of all element of -danger. The two rural mail carriers were unable to complete the routes, one reaching a distance of eight miles on Saturday and the other being com pelled to turn back after a three mile journey.

Ay res, couhcilman at large, acted as mayor at the meeting of the city council last night in the absence of Mayor Craven, who is at Portland. The surveying of Mill street, prepar atory to establishing grades as far as the county road, the petition of prop erty owners along Uglow avenue for standard sidewalk and the offer of the Warren Construction company to give the city hard-surface paving, were the matters occupying the larg er part of the time of the council. Adjourned Meeting Necessary. In order to hasten the matter of getting an accurate survey of Mill street and having it brought before the voters at the next election, it wn deemed necessary that an adjourned meeting of the council be held next Monday night to take special action upon the matter. The matter wn.o placed in the hands of the street com mittee with full power to act. The light and water committee re ported the installation of three lights on Maple street, which have been asked for by residents of that sec- tion. A request from Councilman Bar ham for an extension of 30 days leave of absence, in addition to the 90 days' leave, which expires today, was not granted, the precedent being deemed dangerous. Mr. Barham ad dressed his request from Oakland, iUiiiorma. Place for Prisoners. The committee appointed to pro cure jail space reported that the county would allow city prisoners to occupy the county jail, the county court having left the .matter in the -hands of the sheriff. It is understood that city prisoners may be placed in the county jail so long as there is not a surplus of county prisoners, so as to conflict with the work of tha sheriff. The committee's report was accepted. Ld I, Coad, ex-county indue, was elected by ballot to succeed City At torney Tooze, resigned. John Ashbaugh asked for electric lights on Fairview avenue, appearing in person. The matter mas left with the street committee, with power to act. Join the Boosters. W. V. Fuller, president of the Commercial club, appeared before he body and requested, on behalf of the club, that the entire council ac company a committee from the club to Portland today, to meet wiih the ofTicei-s of the Oregon Electric com pany, in the effort to secure the ex tension of their line from McMinn- ville to Dallas. All who were able to go signified a millingness to accom pany the "booster" committee. Paving Offers Made. Representatives of the Warren Construction company, of Portland, were present and asked, in an infor mal way to have the couneilmen in spect the mork done at Portland by this company, agreeing to pay the espouses of the couneilmen. In view of the fact that Dallas is to have hard surface paving, and after hav ing investigated the condition of the streets, the company mas miiling, said the representative, to put down their sort of hard surface at the rate of ll.iTi jk r quare yard mhere the streets had already been macadam ized. It was e-timated by the gentle man that on streets where there ma grading or filling to be done, that the amount mould reach in the ni.'t.bor hd of 12.30 per square vrd. The "Drys" Stab Toe.
