THE FOLK COUNTT OBSERVER, TUESDAY, JULY 28, 19H. DALLAS LOSES SCALP FINAL POLK-YAMHILL CONTEST GOES TO SHERIDAN. Ispee Special Train Carries More Than One Hundred County Seat Fans to Witness Downfall. Fans and faneUes of Dallas and vi cinity, 150 strong saw the brainstorm ers of Sheridan win the fifth and final game of the Polk-Yamhill series of the national game on Sunday at Sheridan in a wobbly-bobbly contest, the Dal lasites being clearly outclassed at ev ery position. Mr. Tuerck of the state university contributed to the slaught er, being ably assisted at times with a few things enumerated as bonehead ers, excusable errors and a few other things that sometimes occur when the moon reaches the equinoctial parabola as it were. The score, oh, yes: Sheridan 7; Dallas 1. Mr. Foster, a youth, kept the coun ty seat wielders of the willow down to a bare three hits. Mr. Fenton stretched one of these into a home run at the finish ot the game, merely to save the reputation of the county seaters. . The teams were made up from the two sister cit ies and what had been left over from tue coast league, the nationals and federals and the little town on the banks of the Yamhill creek were treat ed to a taste of good, clean ball. There were numerous little quibbles that abound among those of the un sophisticated regarding the selection of an umpire and the game, as a re sult, began at a late hour. However, the thousand people who witnessed the contest were patient and under went the ordeal with fortitude. It has been intimated that some Dallas "dough" was left ut Sheridan. Be that as it may, the team work on both sides was good and as good as is generally seen in baseball of the league style. The Southern Pacific railway com pany kindly loaned the fans a special train for the journey and did every thing possible for the comfort and convenience of about 130. Others went by auto. Next Sunday Dallas will meet the Falls City boys in a return game at the latter place and it is expected that a large crowd will go to that place from Dallas and enjoy the hos pitality of the sister city. The Dallas team will be made up entirely of home players, says the management, and it will be an outing worth while. frcshnicnts were served during the afternoon. Those present were : Mrs. G. P. Macflregor, Mis. C. E. Adams, Mrs. Karl B. Kugol, Mrs. . A. Hanoi-, Mrs. W. 11. F. Mansion, Mrs. Herman Layher, Mrs. W. J. Kaerth, Mrs. J. R. Allgood and Mrs. Mabel Guy. NEWS FROM INDEPENDENCE.

STANDARDISES READY REGULATIONS WILL BE FOR WARDED TO SCHOOLS. State Superintendent Churchill Ex pects Notable Improvement to Result in Educational Way. MUST COUNTY ALLOW PENSION? ELIMINATE THIS WEED. Wild Parsnip Most Dangerous of All, Says John Frakes. The wild parsnip is the latest for ager of Oregon crops, according to authentic advice furnished The Ob server by John Frakes who took an Observer representative around the corner of the county jail Saturday and showed him a variety of the dangerous weed. He said that near Salem he saw a large field of this thievish stuff which had driven every other vege tation from the face of the earth. It seems there are three varieties of the wild parsnip, one being known as the Oregon variety. This carries a pretty while blossom and ripens with myri ads ot seeds. Mr. b rakes is of the opinion that there is but one way of destroying this plant and that is to refuse to allow it to go to seed. The other two pnrsnip plants have not been brought to the notice of The Observer reporter, but it is said they are not so dangerous ns the one with the pretty white (lower and the thousands of dangerous seeds. Suit to Compel Maintenance of Widow and Minor Children. A case of general importance to all counties of Oregon will be tried at the forthcoming term of the circuit court, the decision in which will be watched with more than ordinary in terest. The case refers to the wid ow's pension law, and suit is brought by Mrs. Maude E. Zachary, through her attorney, Oscar Hayter of this city, to compel the county court to make an allowance for the mainten ance of herself and five minor chil dren. While residing in Marion coun ty, the husband of the plaintiff was committed to the penitentiary, and mmediately thereafter the family came to Polk county to reside. Mis. Zachary made application to the coun ty court for aid under the law which provides that mothers of dependent minor children whose husbands are either dead or inmates of public in- siitutions ot the state shall receive fi nancial aid from the county in which they reside, but the county court held that the woman was a charge of Marion and not of Polk and re fused to make the allowance. Rules for the standardization of the rural and village schools of the state will be mailed to the County Superintendents this week by State superintendent ot Public Instruction Churchill. The rules were adopted at a recent meeting ot County School ouperitnendents held in Salem. Rules will be posted in all school rooms and when all requirements have been met certificates will be provided by the state department. It is be lieved that the plan will result in Ore gon not only having the most sani tary schools of any state, but will make the school leaders trom an edu cntional standpoint. Mr. Churchill announced his plan of standardization at a meeting of the htnte .teachers' association in Salem last December and a committee draft ed a set of rules. Oregon was one of the pioneer states in standardizing schools in districts ot the second and third classes, much progress along that line having been made in Coos, Polk, Marion, Linn, Lane, Douglas, Jackson, Klamath, Umatilla and Yam hill counties. Almost all schools in those counties have been improved, although a majority have not obtained all points necessary to be standard ized. Teachers, pupils, school boards and patrons have united to obtain bet ter equipment. The most important rule relates to sanitation and Mr. Churchill is deter mined that it be enforced if possible. He believes it will save the lives of many pupils and will make for effic iency by conserving the health of the pupils. THE CITY BY THE FALLS. Stockyards to Be Enlarged. As an indication of the tremendoui growth of the livestock industry in Oregon and other sections of the Pa cilic Northwest, the Portland Union Stockyards company has found it nec essary to immediately make a large addition to its pen space in order to keep pace with constantly inn-easing shipments. The necessity for increas ed yardage lor sheep feeding is main ly resionsible for the additions which will be made at this time, and it is estimated that, the new pens will take care of at least l.'i.dtlO head, making the total sheep capacity of the yards approximately :i."i.(MMI head. Milk By Machinery. At Sydney, this county, the Krelis liiiilhers, formerly in tiu. i, busi ness, art- const l-n.-t inir an immense dairy barn which will he up-to-date in every respect, ll will have cement floors, brass rails, modem ventilation, running water, ami will cost about t-JMltl.

Filly grades llolsteiu will be handled at first and 1(11! head additional will Ik- puichased in the near future. May Exhibit at Fair. J.

HERE'S A GOOD ONE In a dictionary published in 1754, we find this definition of fountain pen: "A pen made of silver or brass, contrived to contain a considerable quantity of ink and let it flow out by degrees. To use the pen, the cover must be taken off, and the pen a little shaken, to make the ink run more freely." All of which goes to prove that some fountain pen manufacturers have made small progress in 100 years, for their pens still have to be a "little shaken" before the ink wilt begin to flow. You never see a Conklin user iitr- ging and bouncing his pen to get the ink started. A Conklin writes the instant it touches the pnper. That's one of a dozen good reasons why we handle the Conklin pen ex clusively. Hayter'sBook Store 428 Main Street ALUMINUM WAR E -THAT- A comnlete line iust re- v ceived from Chicago.
