FEIT HIS BOND MONEY.
Tailure of Portland Firm to Comply
With Contract Results In Trouble
f For His Bondsmen.
5- Ordered by the county court to im
mediately begin proceedings against
the bondsmen of Phil Esterday, the
: bridge contractor of Portland whose
(bid was accepted eary this year by
r.thes commissioners for the erection of
ja steel bridge across the LaCreole
fiiver a short distance east of Dallas,
Prosecuting Attorney D. H. Upjohn
(is now empowered -to proceed with
jjonf of the most important cases ever
. brought in the courts of Polk county,
f When bids were advertised consid
erable interest was manifested by the
ilarrners of that vicinity tor reason
that the proposed bridge would di
sable them to market their produce in
i Dallas without goiaig over the steep
grade of the Dallas-Salem road. It
I would also mean a shorter route to
the city. The bids were duly opened
and the Portland firm awarded the
'contract, it being the lowest bidder.
'The representative of the company,
however, submitted without protest
i to j the changing of the plans and
specifications, it is alleged. It is now
( evident to the commissioners that af
ter viewing the alterations, Mr. Es
fterday found that tflie bridge could
.not be constructed for the sum of
i $1,614.00, the amount specified in his
jbid. Some time ago Esterday visited
j Dallas and requested the commission
l era .to give him more time as he said,
owing to the delay of shipments of
(certain material, it would be lmpos-
sible for him to complete the bridge
' by September 1, the time specified in
this1 contract.
I It is now the purpose of the com
missioners in bringing suit against
the bond company to secure damages
' of - $1,614.00 or the amount repre
( senting the bond money placed with
J the county as a guarantee of the
faithful fulfillment of the contract.

and a committee was appointed to
join with the committee appointed by
the Dallas Fruit Grower's Union, and
arrange for a big public meeting of

MERICAN suffragists were keenly Interested in the plana of Mrs. Em-
meline Pankhurst, the famous English militant leader, to visit the
United States for tbe purpose of lecturing on the suffragette move
ment The greatest "hunger striker" of England announced that she
would arrive about the middle of October on the liner La Provence and would
speak In most of the big cities, provided her advance representative yes, Mrs.
Pankhurst has a press agent advised her so to do. Mrs. Pankhurst didn't
think that she would be held up at Ellis island by the immigration authorities
and barred from entering the country. Her advance woman dldnft think so
either, although she admitted it was good advertising for the militant leader.
Mrs. Pankhurst, who Is out of jail under the "cat and mouse" act that is, on
sufferance, because she nearly starved herself to death in prison will likely be
banqueted by New York suffragists, led by Mrs. O. II. P. Belmont
Growers Will Welcome Barthold
Polk Fruit Men Prepare For Visit of
Big Cannery Representative; Will
Make Address Here Monday.
Fruit growers in Polk county and
especially in the vicinity of Dallas
are interested in the visit here Mon
day of R. M. Barthold, vice president
of the Central California canneries,
and considered one of the most in
fluential men of the West interested
in the canning industry.
Mr. Barthold, who is making
tour of this section of the state, will
arrive in Dallas early Monday morn
ing from Salem. Arrangements have
been made by members of the Com
mercial club and the Polk County
Fruit Growers' association to meet
him at the depot, and at 10 o'clock
a mass meeting will be called at the
court house.
"The meeting Monday morning
will be of special interest to fruit
growers of this vicinity," said
member of the association yesterday.
.'Mr. Barthold is making a careful
study of conditions here and his re
marks as the results of his mvesti
gation, will be of untold value."
As soon as Mr. llarthold arrives
it has been planned to take him for
an automobile trip through the sur
rounding fruit country, returning in
time for him to meet the fruit grow-
ers of Dallas at 10 o'clock. Notices
have been sent out by the association
calling for every member to be pres
ent Monday morning.
Because of the efforts now being
made through the association and
members of the Commercial club to
interest outside capital in the estab
lishment and operation of a cannery
here, there will be, no doubt, a large
representation of Polk county grow
ers at the meeting Monday. What
proposition will be offered by Mr.
Barthold representing the large Cal
ifornia concern, is still problematical
but it is safe to assume that his visit
hero will result in the concentration
of efforts to establish a model pan
nery for Dallas.
