New $20,000 Bank Building Will Soon Rise in Dallas Dallas City Bank Will Build on Cor I ner of Main and Mill Streets; I Work to Start Soon. f KxKMiditure of probably more than 2(1,000 in a modern store and office imilding, was the decision reached yesterday at a meeting of the board of directors of the Dallas City bank when a deal was closed for the pur chase of the Morris Klinger proper ly, corner of Main and Mill streets now occupied by a one-story frame imilding used as a meat market, fjater a deal was arranged for the imichase of the Mattison and Mat ihews property adjoining the Kling i'T corner on the north and west and ibis insures the erection of a build ing Ii(lx84 feet. Active building op erations will begin early in July ac cording to present plans of the bank. The present meat market building will he razed and the store room now being tiitted up for saloon pur poses will be moved off the lot to -some temporary location to be de cided. I Cream Brick Construction. i While plans have not yet been drawn, and although the exact na ture of the architecture has not been determined, it is probable that the flow building will be of cream brick construction, or facing, on Main and Mill streets. Aside from the bank ing room, which will occupy the cor ner, there will be two store rooms w Main street, and one facing on Mi!! street It is understood that lie north room on Main street has seen leased for two years, while an npiion to lease has leen given on the M il street room. There will be one ft'"!!! on Main street which has not yes lx-en leased. The upper floor will fx- litted up for office purposes and will he modern in every respect. En trance to the upper floors will be by stairway which will rise from the iter of the building on the Main 'street frontage. i Start on Masonic Building. ! A force of workmen began last "-k on the addition and improve- -'it of the Masonic temple build in i: on Main street. The first work ai !( r way is the digging of trenches ' d tiie building of the concrete foun dations for the 20 foot extension to tl e rear of the present building will give the occupants of the kver floor additional store space. A- l as already been stated in these i iinns the second floor will be used - a banquet hall bv the lodge while !i ; third floor, which will be added. ''' le used for lodge purpose. Hotel Addition Soon. J- W. Crider, owner of the prp "' announces that plans have drawn for the addition to the H -1 Xew Scott which he has in i and that this work also will be r n m a few days. A new concrete k -i-'H!.2 will be built on the lot ad t ' -it the Sterling Furniture store building on the west and the upper floor will he tittted up for hotel pur poses and will connect with the pres ent structure. This will give the furniture company the new room to the west of their present quarters while a portion of the present store room will be used to extend the din ing room of the hotel. These three projected new build ing enterprises gives evidence that Dallas will experience one of the most substantial years in the line of permanent improvements for some time and, taken in connection with the street work, means the expen diture of a considerable sum in wages and material during the pres ent year. There are two other build ing enterprises under consideration which will also mean much to the city but which The Observer is not permitted to reveal at this time. riAIIS FOR FOURTH UNDER WAY COMMITTEES TO HANDLE DE TAILS OF AFFAIR NAMED.

MULKEY MADE JUMP RECORD SAYS ORDINANCE VIOLATED Sixteen-year Old Lad of Dallas High School Surprises Attendants at Event; Dallas Leads in Points With Independence Second; Dallas Wins Ball Game From Airlie. Dallas sralloped away with the honors in the Polk county school field and track meet held in this city last Saturday before one of the larg est ciowds ever gathered here to wit ness an athletic event. The meet well repaid the crowd as it was ex citing from first to last. Dallas gathered in 74 points; Inde pendence 41 points; Airlie 28 points; Monmouth 10 nnd Bethel 1. Al though Dallas has a heavy lead in the points it is no indication that the meet was not without its sensa tional features. Makes Thrilling Jump. Mulkey, of Dallas, made a thrilling mmt) ot 21 teet 5 inches, which comes near being the record for 10 year old lad. The interseholastic record for the country is 23 feet anil 5 inches, made bv E. T. Cook of Ohio in 190(5. Mulkey 's jump is just two feet behind the woild's inter seholastic record. Considering the fact that Cook had been in splendid training for years for the event and a much older lad than Mulkey, Mul key s .pimp is remarkable. Dallas Takes Ball Game. Dallas took the ball game and the county championship from Airlie m the morning by a score ot 5 to 4 Many were of the opinion that Airlie had a little the edge on the local boys and it was certain at some stages of the game that the visitors did. Some squabble arose because it was claimed by the visitors that Dal las allowed Bevens, its pitcher, to rest for half an hour near the close of the game and that the rest allow- (Continued on Page Six) L fill MANY FAST PLAYERS SEEN IN NEW BASE BALL CLUB. Men to be Given Tryout; Ted Serr to Manage Team; List of Players With Their Positions. The Dallas base ball team has been organized for the present season and among the players who will tryout are the following: Catchers, Shaw, Serr, Ilerzog; pitchers. Barham, My ers, Clark; first base, W. Too.c, K. Bovdston; second base, r. Boydston; short. Cooper; third base, Baker; outfield, W. Barham, E. Barham, E. Rice. All other local players who are not on this list may receive a fair tryout against these players by reKirliiig at the public school grounds Sunday morning at !) o'clock. Material Looks Good. The material looks good ami a fast bunch should be the result of careful picking ami elimination. For catchers we have Shaw and his good headwork and playing; Herog has been playing with the high school and his woik is well liked by all. Serr has Im-ch playing with some of the best teams in Portland and the valley and has a good record in Cal ifornia. Barham, Clark ami Meyers are known to Im- capable of working with the best on I lie mound anil Wm. J. Coy, Complainant, Declares City Has Not More Than 2300 People; Judge Galloway Grants Injunction at Salem; Present Liq uor Interests Accused. Probability of a third thirst parlor in Dallas was placed in the problem atical class on Monday when City Auditor Gregory was served with an injunction, signed by William J. Coy and issued by Judge William Galloway at Salem on Saturday, re straining liim (Gregory) from issu ing a license to James V. Chitty, as granted by the council at a recent session under the provisions of a new ordinance carrying an emergency clause which also passed the council. By the terms of his complaint up on which the injunction was issued, William J. Coy declares that the city council is attempting to violate the provisions of ordinance No. 14!), passed November 21, .1010, which provides that but one "license shall be issued for each 1000 inhabitants or major fraction thereof within the corporate limits of the city. Coy sets up the allegation that there are now but 2300 people within the cor porate limits and cites the fact that but 2124 were here in 1910, accord ing to the government census, as proof of his assertion. Members of the city council who voted for the is suance of the license to Chitty de clare their belief that there are more than 2500 people here. Mr. Coy, who is a resident of this city, and a well-known prohibition ist, gives a bond in the sum ot .flOO with J. P. Rogers ns additional surety to hold the city against dam age in the event that the final hear ing on the injuction shall bo decided agaist him. Bnngs Strong Contention. Since the filing of the injunction and even before, the probability that a third saloon might soon bo in op eration here caused the widest com ment, some declaring that, the city ouncil had deliberately violated the provisions of ordinance 14!) while others asserted, with equal vehe mence, that the council was entirely within their rights. The first draft of the present sa loon ordinance was published in the county pners for (he information of the voters on October 11, 1!)10. The ounty was dry at that time, but the council explained to the voters that this ordinance had been prepared iin advance ot the election to let the M'ople know how the liquor business would be controlled and regulated in the event that the county went wet at the November election. The sec tion limiting the number of saloons in the city was worded as follows: "In issuing such license, or or dering them to be issued, the said city council shall permit but one license to be issued for every 10110 inhabitants or fraction (hereof, re siding wil hilt the- corporate limits of Dallas." The election was held on the Hth day of November following, nnd the county was voted wet. Thirteen days later or on November 21 the city council passed the liquor ordinance as originally drafted, with the excep tion that the foregoing section was changed to read "one license for cv.iv HMHl iniialiitanls, or major fraction thereof." Liquor Interests Blamed. Chitty and friends of the third sa loon idea declare that the proprie tors of the two saloons already in business here are the real movers lie- hind the injunction proceedings, and that they are using the prohibition forces as catspaws to keep out com petition. I Ins is o:eniei by the pres- nt saloon interests while those op posed to the liquor business state that Ibey are against the move be- Too.e and Bovdston rank with some cause the honor of the city was of the best semi-pro men in the ' pledged to the dry element prior to country.

THIS CITY IS WHOLE PARADE Enthusiasm Runs Riot; Visit Means Hundreds of People at Big Fourth of July Celebration and Chautau qua Meetings; Engine 1361 Carries Moose Lodge 1361 to "Doins." Drawn by engine 1361, gaily deco rated and screeching greetings, mem bers of Moose lodge 13(51 of Dallas invaded Salem Friday night for one of the roundup times of the year. Over 500 Dallasites were in Salem on that day, Salem-Dallas day of the Moose carnival. And it was all Dallas on that day. If there was ever any doubt of the boosting proclivities of the people of this city they were swept away in a tide of enthusiasm Friday. In the parade Friday afternoon Dallas was practicnlly the "whole thing." Out of a sparse number of automobiles Dallas carried away the honors with over half the cars and for decorations the cars of this city wei-e far in the lead. With gid dy advertisements of the Fourth of July celebration and Chautauqua here ns well as of the Dallas suprem acy in the world of prunes and fruit the thousands wdio .had gathered at the carnival will have a vivid re membrance of this city and undoubt edly the showing will mean that hun dreds of Marion county people will bo in Dallas for those big events. Dallas Crowd Helps. At night Dallas was also the main feature. Without the Dallas crowd and the Dallas band, Friday, the big day of the carnival, would have suf fered materially. This is admitted by those who were in churge and Sa lem Moose and Salem people have been singing the praises of the Dallas contingent ever since. In npenking of the showing made by this city the Salem Statesman had (Continued on Page Six.) PAVI IRK TO M SOOII NEW PLANT FOR USE HERE ALREADY ON WAY. Curb Work May Begin Next Week; Work on Clay and Ash Streets Re sumed; Requisitions I Necessary. Paving operations in the city of Dallas will begin soon after the first of June according to members of the Clark & llenery Construction com pany which has the contract. A new paving plant has been shipjied to Dallas and will probably arrive next week. The first work undertaken will be the building of the curbing. Work on Clay ami Ash streets which was susMUided when the rainy season began last fall was resumed this morning and will be pushed for ward to completion as rapidly as weather conditions will ermit. Ad ams & Martin who were awarded the contract for hauling all rock requir ed by the city at 70 cents er yard, signed up Monday morning and will ilo the work on Ash and Clay streets. They will also haul rock for the pro mised improvement of Fairviey av enue, the city doing the grading. Decision that hereafter all mater ial purchase, f,,r the city must oniy lie on requisition signed by the com mittee, or some member thereof, has been made bv the street committee which has lieen designated purchas ing agents for the city. Heretofore, it is said to have ltecn the practice to order supplies and other material indiscriminately but hereafter all who exet to have their bills allow ed must l,e supplied with requisition for each item thereof. A nobby new sign gracefully at tached to the d'Mir jamb on the Nortb side of the city hall now conveys in formation as to the whereabouts of the office of the "City Auditor, Po lice Judge and City F.ncineer" and hereafter it will not lie necessary for visitors who have business with these officials to blunder into the city jail or climb the nice stefd b !l tower to locate them.
