OLD GIVES WAY TO NEW
KIRKPATRICK INDUCTED INTO
OFFICE WITHOUT POMP.
Municipal Administration Chunges and
Elective Oilicos Aro Filled With
out Friction or Contest.
Mr. E. C. Kirkpatrick was Inducted
into office of mayor last night without
pomp or unnecessary ceremony. The
oath of office was administered prior
to the convening of the old council,
Auditor and Police Judge Gregory per
forming the duty of administering it.
The aldermanic body, after having
transacted some unfinished business,
which included the adoption of an or
dinance providing for street improve
ments, the allowing of bills and the
closing up of some matters of minor
impprtance, listened to Mayor Van Ors
del's retiring address, adjourned sine
die, whereupon the newly-elects as
sumed their respective stations. Mr.
Kirkpatrick was greeted with a hand
shake by the retiring chief executive
while Auditor Gregory administered
the oath of office the aldermen-elect,
after which performance Mr. Barbar
' succeeded Dr. Hayter as alderman-at-large,
Mr. Sweeney taking the place
made vacant by Mr. Gohrke, Mr. Card
that made vacant by Mr. Barber and
Mr. Miller succeeding himself. Fol
lowing the changing of seats and the
retirement of those who had served
the city during the past two years,
Mayor Kirkpatrick delivered his in
augural address, published elsewhere
on this page, together with the retiring
address of the outgoing mayor.
Further than this there will be no
change in city officials during the en
suing two years. Walter G. Vassall
was re-elected city treasurer by the
council, W; C. Chase city marshal, Ed
F. Coad city attorney, Peter S. Green
wood street commissioner, S. B. Tay
lorclty engineer and John Shaw night
marshal. There were no other nomi
nations except for the latter position
Mr. Shaw and John Dawson were ap
plicants for the place, and Mr. Kirk
patrick placed both In nomination and
put a choice up to the council. The
ballot was unanimous for Mr. Shaw,
the present incumbent.
Mayor Kirkpatrick then named the
following standing committees of the
council:

Immediately after having concluded
this regular annual program, the new
council got down to business and in
structed the auditor to advertise for
bids for street improvements as pro
vided for by the outgoing body, bids
to be as a whole or in part, and also
for bids for the oiling of city streets
and country roads within the corpor
for bids for the oiling of city streets,
bids will be invited for spreading the
material, and for furnishing and
spreading. Oil may now be had at
80 cents per barrel F. O. B. Portland,
and the spreading offer made the
countv is 3.6 cents per gallon. This
is about the basis on which bids will
probably be made.
The street commissioner was in
structed to wash the hard-surface
pavements. The water company very
generously offered to provide water
free of charge for the first washing of
these thoroughfares.'
The council declared its intention to
improve Uglow avenue from Ash
street to the Carpenter bridge, and the
auditor was instructed to commence
the necessary proceeding to that end.
A number of property owners on that
thoroughfare was present, and a ma
jority expressed a preference for a
forty-foot improvement with concrete
curbs. The road beyond the railroad
track will probably be sixteen feet in
width.
Alderman Westover thought the city
should have a market inspector, and
moved that the ordinance committee
be instructed to prepare an ordinance
providing for such an official, to act
without remuneration, but the motion
was not seconded and was lost in the
shuffle. This, however, reminded the
k mayor that the city is lacking a
plumbing inspector, and he recom
mended that an ordinance be prepared
to this end later.
The street commissioner was in
structed to prepare the streets for oil
ing, after which the council adjourned
to meet again next Monday evening at
the usual hour, when bids for sixty
cords of wood for the rock crusher
will be opened.
The New Playhouse.
The new picture house will not be
ready for occupancy on the date that
was originally specified, owing to
weather interferences, but will be
opened sometime during the present
month. Only one-half of the pro
posed structure will be completed be
. .-,re late in the fall. Mr. Ayers having
Vj.ase on a portio of the ite to be
occupied by the playhouse. His lease
will not expire until November. When
fully completed the theater will have
a seating capacity of 700, and will be
modern in every respect. Until such
time as the site is made vacant by
the expiration of Mr. Ayers' lease, Mr.
Smith will conduct the finished por
tion, which will have a seating capaci
ty of about 300. It' will be modern
in every respect, and only high-grade
pictures will be shown.
SHERIFF ORR MAKES A RECORD.
Comparatively Large Amount Collect
ed From Tax Delinquencies.
Sheriff Orr has made something of
a record for himself in the collection
of delinquent taxes, having gathered
in from this source, Including the re
demption of delinquent certificates,
more than $1,400 in good American
money. On delinquent taxes a total
of $560 has been collected, $7.31 being
for 1909; $75.54 for 1912 and $477.15
for 1913. The sheriff has issued since
the first of January 104 tax certifi
cates' these being to the county and to
individuals.
The most difficulty experienced by
Sheriff Orr has been the collection
of delinquency on personal property,
as In a majority of instances the prop
erty upon which the tax was Imposed
has been removed from his jurisdic
tion. Personal appeals to the parties,
if they are to be found, has, however,
resulted in a goodly number of col
lections of this class. The sheriff's of
fice has addressed letters to all delin
quents, requesting that they give the
matter their attention, and this has
had good effect in a considerable num
ber of instances, and this method has
been the means of Increasing collec
tions.

Ferdinand Hartman, passed away at
her home in this city on Saturday at
the age of fifty years. The funeral
was held from the Christian church
vesterday afternoon, and interment

and Hangs Himself.
Shortly before noon yesterday, C. .. F.
Wolff of Monmouth committed suicide
at that place by hanging himself to a
rafter in his barn with a rope. De-
I spondency over imaginary troubles if
I said to have been the cause for the
j rash act. He was sixty years of age,

1 far as known.
I Mrs. Wolff found her husband's
jdead body dangling from the end of
I the rope. Missing him after an ab

tuted a search, first going to the barn
at the rear of the premises, where the
horrifying spectacle met her gaze.
Crying for help, the body was cut
down. Life had been extinct for more
than an hour, according to estimate.
Mr. and Mrs. Wolff had been resi
dents of Monmouth about three years,
and were esteemed by all who knew
them. No arrangements had been
made for the funeral late last night.

REVIEWS FINANCIAL
Mayor Kirkpatrick Tells His Co-workers That Munici
pal Business Must Be Conducted With An Empty
Treasury. The Outgoing Mayor's Address.
In his inaugural address before the
Dallas council last night, Mayor Kirk.
Patrick treated upon various topics of
interest to the taxpayers of the city,
probably the most important being the
financial condition of the municipality
at this time. The new mayor also
made a number of recommendations,
as did Mr. Van Orsdel, the retiring
mayor. Both addresses follow: , ;
Gentlemen of the Council: Pursu
ant to a provision of the city charter,
which provides that the mayor shall,
at the first meeting in May of each
year, deliver to the council a message
setting forth a detailed statement of
the financial condition of the city
and containing such recommendations
for the administration of affairs as
he may see fit to make, I desire at
this time to call your attention to a
few matters which I consider to be of
paramount importance.
Permit me to say at the outset that
the financial condition of the city is
far from satisfactory or desirable.
Examination of the records discloses
the unwelcome fact that although
more than one-half of this year's tax
has been collected, the amount of
outstanding warrants at the present
time Is greater than the remainder
of the tax to be collected. In other
words, gentlemen of the council, you
are face to face with an empty treas
ury. In the figures that I shall pre
sent for your consideration, it will be
shown that the city will have to work
without money until tax collecting
time next year, a period of nine
months. This Is a condition of affairs
that should command your best
thought and energy, to the end that
the Indebtedness we must necessarily
incur may be kept down to the lowest
notch consistent with an efficient ad
ministration of the city's affairs.
The total tax raised for the general
fund for the year ending December
31, 1914, amounted to $8,800. This
required a levy of 7 8-11 mills. In
addition to this tax, the council re
ceived $5,400 from'" saloon licenses,
giving It a total of $14,200 for tne
general fund. Of this total, $4,000
was applied to the payment of out
standing warrants of the year before.
It will thus be seen that the council
received and spent $10,200 for gener
al expenses last year. This amount
does not include the city's share of
the county road fund, which amounted
to more than $4,600. Neither does it
include the amounts levied and spent
for special purposes, such as interest
and principal on water bonds, sewer
bonds, armory bonds, and other spec
ial taxes voted by the people them
selves. To these special funds, I shall
refer later. What I desire to make
clear is, that city expenses taken from
the general fund alone last year
amounted to $10,200. In addition to
this amount, the council contracted
a warrant Indebtedness of $5,000.
This indebtedness will have to be paid
out of this year's tax. The greater
amount of it has already been so
paid.
Of the $8,600 levied for the general
fund this year, all but $3,800 has
been collected and disbursed by the
retiring council. From this remain
ing $3,800, the following debts must
yet be paid: Outstanding indorsed
warrants, $2,063; Chitty saloon license
rebate, $750; amount due city library.
$750, or a total of $3,563. Running
expenses of the city from the date
when the foregoing figures were com
piled to this date (May 3) will approx
imate $800 more. It will be noted
that not only has all of this year's
tax been spent, but we are actually in
debt at the present time. All that the
city has left to carry it to tax collect
Ing time next year is the authority
granted by the charter to contract in
debtedness and this indebtedness is
limited to $5,000.
As the running expense for the next
nine months will approximate $600 a
month, (if no unforeseen emergency
arises), the city's finances will have
to be managed with a prudent hand,
if we would hope to keep within the
$5,000 indebtedness limit. Had the
retiring council levied a tax to replace
the $5400 loss of saloon license, it
i ,gnt nave been possiie to work
tnrough thls year without contracting
additional indebtedness. But. as mat
ters stand, the new council will have
to work for nine months with an emp
ty treasury. I would suggest tnat
you prepare yourselves, and the citi
zens at large, to expect the heaviest
tax levy for 1916 ever known In the
history of Dallas.
Water Fund Of the original Issue
of $15,000 water bonds, $7,000 has
been paid and bonds to this amount
retired. The charter requires that a
water tax be levied annually to cover
one-twentieth of the principal of the
original issue and to pay the interest
on bonds outstanding. The tax for
the present -ear was 1 2-10 mills.
Amount on hand In this fund applic
able to payment of principal, $2,500.
Voted by the people.
Armory Fund Outstanding war-
CONDITION OF CITY
rants, $1,750; tax, 77-100 mills. This
levy will raise about $800, leaving a
balance of $950 to be paid' in 1916.
Voted by the people.
County Fair Fund Bonds outstand
ing, $5,000; tax, 73-100 mills. Voted
by the people.
Library Fund. Annual appropria
tion, $1,000; tax, 9-10 mills. Voted by
th,e people, through acceptance of con
tract with Andrew Carnegie, providing
that Dallas shall support the library
forever. Appropriation from general
fund of city.
Sewer Tank Fund. Bonds outstand
ing, $7,000; tax, 1 mill. One bond and
interest payable each year. Voted by
people.
All of the foregoing special funds
voted by the people aggregate a tax
of 4 6-10 mills annually.
Road Fund Tax, 3V6 mills, bring
ing In a total of $3,500, which can
only be used in cleaning, oiling and
repairing streets, building street in
tersections, working county roads
within city limits and building and
repairing bridges. I would recom
mend that no money be paid this year
for street intersections from any fund
except the road fund. We can spare
none from the general fund, for the
very good reason that there is no gen
eral fund.
Cement Sidewalks Centent side
walks mean better sanitation and are
more economical to the property own
er in the long run. Such walks save
the council much labor and the city
great expense. I am in favor of
gradual extension of the cement dis
trict, and would recommend that the
boundaries be changed this year to in
elude the following territory: All that
district lying between the west side of
the center of Lyle street and the west
side of Levens street, and between the
south side of the center of Academy
street and the north side of the cen
ter of Clay street.
Macadam Streets In all macadam
work to be carried on this year, I
would recommend that all streets so
constructed be brought to such
smoothness and perfection of grade
that in the near future a hard-surface
dressing may be laid on the macadam
at a minimum expense to the proper
ty owners. Time has proved that
hard-surface dressing can be laid on
macadam even better than on a con
crete base. With a view of eventually
hard surfacing such streets, money
spent for macadam is not thrown
away.
I believe that a skillful, well-trained
brass band is an asset to any city.
That this view is shared by the peo
ple generally Is Indicated by the pe
tition recently presented to the council
asking that the band be given munici
pal aid, which petition was signed by
a large majority of the taxpayers. The
council granted the petition and pass
ed an ordinance giving $600 a year
toward maintaining the band, being
under the impression that the road
fund could be used for this purpose.
The mayor, after examining the fin
nances of the city and the law, wise
ly vetoed the ordinance and the coun
cil sustained the veto. I believe that
next year, if the band will give as
surance of a high-class organization,
some provision should be made for a
reasonable appropriation for its sup
port. General Expense In contemplating
the city's running expenses, I am un
able to discover where any material
reduction can be made without de
priving the people of actual necessi
ties and Impairing the efficiency of
our government. Our water and light
bills are already provided by contract;
crosswalks must be kept In repair to
protect the city from damage suits.
The charter demands that we have a
marshal. The marshal attends to his
duties as a peace officer and cleans
the streets as well. This officer re
ceives $60 a month, and is underpaid
rather than overpaid. The charter al
so provides for a street commissioner.
He works for the small salary of 30
cents an hour for time actually em
ployed. A city of 3,500 Inhabitants requires
a night policeman. Without such of
ficer, we simply throw our gates open
to the criminal element to rob and
burn. This night officer receives a
salary of only $65 a month. The city
attorney receives a monthly salary of
$20, and the city engineer Is paid for
the time employed. If the council,
however, can aee at any time where
our running expenses can be reduced
without impairing efficiency, I shall
gladly co-operate.
Law Enforcement I desire to say.
the mayor will not undertake to sus
pend the action of any ordinance.
Ordinances are placed on the books to
be reasonably enforced, and no officer
has a right to suspend them. In 111,
when the statewide prohibition law
shall take effect. I recommend that
our city officers put forth extra effort
to detect the sale of liquor, and I
assure these officers, as well as the
sheriff and county attorney, that they
shall have my every personal assist-
ance and co-operation. I want no of
ficer to report to me that he cannot
catch a bootlegger.
My earnest desire shall be to work
in harmony with the council; to ad
minister the office of mayor without
partiality to any member of the coun
cil or any particular section of the
city; to give my best efforts to the
righteous enforcement of law, and to
co-operate with you in all that will
lead to the upbuilding of Dallas and to
the peace, happiness and prosperity of
its people.
Retiring Mnyor's Address.
Gentlemen of Dallas City Council
Before retiring from office I want to i
thank you for the manner in which ,
you have treated me during the two ,
years that I have been mayor, and
at the same time commend you for
the good work you have accomplished
The contract for the hard-surface
pavement had been let when we were
inducted into office. We got a good
Job of work, but the people got some
very useful lessons in that kind of
improvement. It can and will be done
cheaper in the future. We have set
a good example in macadam paving.
Last year you put in the best work
of this character in the city. It cost
ninety-five cents per front foot, which
was a great saving to the property
owners in comparison to the cost of
other years, when it ran as high as
$2.25. For the present season this
council has started extensive improve
ments In a number of streets in vari
ous parts of the city, and this I leave
to the incoming administration with
the hope that it will be even more
successful in consummating the pro
jects than were we last season.
I want to speak with regard to the
septic tank, for the construction of
which the people of Dallas generously
voted $7,500 worth of bondB. The
council built It for $7,000 by buying
a cheap tract of land to place it on,
saving $900 to the taxpayers. If this
council had purchased the other tract
at the price named $1,600 it would
have left the city $400 in the hole. I
want to commend the council for
standing with me in this matter. In
the two years that I have presided
over this body I have vetoed but one
measure, and that was the appropria
tion of $560 for the band. I did not
like to exercise my veto power, but It
was the only thing to do under the
circumstances, as we did not have the
money to expend for that particular
purpose.
The incoming mayor and council
wHlflnd a clear shect'as far as old in
debtedness is concerned. When we
came into office we found nearly
$2,000 of back claims against the mu
nicipality, and these we were obliged

THEIR TRIKOLIAPSED
AUTOMORILISTS HAVE DIFFICUL
TY NEAR PERRYDALE.
Rescue Car Sent to Scene of Accident
Falls to Reach Port, Also En.
countering Difficulties,
Automobillng has its trials and
tribulations as well as its pleasures
and Joys. , Last Saturday afternoon
Messrs. Paul Hunter, Ed. Dunn, Ralph
Bennett and Nevin Palmer left Dallas
in high spirits for Portland in the
former's machine. Happily they bowl
ed along over smooth roads until they
reached Perrydale, when one of the
rear wheels collapsed, casting gloom
over the excursionists. Another wheel
was called for from the garage, and
with one from Henry Stump's car Al
bert Bennett and his companion,
young Shepherd, were started by Mr.
Catherwood to the scene of the mis
hap. But a hoodoo hovered over the
entire bunch, for when within four
miles of Perrydale the thingabob of
the rescue car gave way, and the
chauffeur couldn't budge 'er an Inch.
Appreciating the dilemma in which
the excursionists were in, the lads un
dertook to carry the wheel forward to
Perrydale, leaving their car by the
roadside.
The wheel soon became too heavy
to carry and the rescuing party de
posited It upon mother earth and roll
ed It a distance of about four miles,
but being unable to find Perrydale on
the map were forced to return with it
in the same manner. In the meantime
another S. O. S. call had come In from
Mr. Hunter, and Mr. Catherwood him
self, armed to the guards with supplies
and other things, hurried to Perrydale
with another wheel of the same pat
tern, and the unfortunate tourists
were thus enabled to return home, ar
riving about nine o'clock, singing
"Home. Sweet Home." It was then up
to Mr. Catherwood to ascertain the
whereabouts of the other car, but In
this he experienced no difficulty.
Ralph Savery had telephoned to the
garage that he had witnessed two
weary wayfarers trundling an automo
bile wheel along the highway, and In
quired as to the meaning of the
strange performance.
This straightened out the entangle
ments, and the second car was brought
back to the garage without delay. The
only sufferer wss a certain farmer
near the scene of Mr. Hunter's mis
hap, and It Is said that he was oblig
ed to come to Dallas early Monday to
replenish his stock of edibles, remark
ing Incidentally that the county town
sent out the hungriest sutomoblllsts
that he had ever seen.
'TWAS GRAND GALA DAY
FESTIVITIES AT NORMAL SCHOOIi
PRESENT PLEASING SIGHT.
All Previous Attempts in Observance
of May Day Eclipsed by the Ex
ercises of Saturday Last.
May day brought hundreds of peo
ple to Monmouth to witness the annu
al festivities, held in honor of the
queen of May. By nine o'clock tha
street in front of the Oregon Normal
school was lined with automobiles and
the seats in the grove on the campus
. t ovf(rnowine. To the mu
glo of th(J school orChestra the whole
b of atudents walked in stately
procession to form in a huge semicir
cle in front of the queen's throne,
where they waited to receive her. With
her retinue of herald flower girls and
maids of honor, Miss Beatrice Chaneay
ascended the throne, accepting the
homage of her subjects. Her maids of
honor, the Misses Merle Stearns, Flor
ence Fleldhouse, Orrie Steinberge,
Elaine Longabaugh, Ruby Rasmussen,
Gladys Pearson, Jean Anderson and
Helen Hall performed a most Intricate
and graceful dance followed by tha
huge chorus in spirited song. The
chief herald, Mr. Ranie Burkhead,
then cleared the court for competitions
before the queen. The senior girls,
some in white, some in yellow frocks
wound their maypole first and liberat
ed two white doves as their climax.
The juniors dressed in blue and white
wound a pole decorated to correspond.
Gowned In the green and yellow colors
of the Oregon grape the combined
sophomore-freshman classes danced
about their pole. The different grades
in the training school each presented
some attractively costumed drill: the
first and second grades, representing
sweet peas, sang and danced prettily;
the third and fourth, in daisy cos
tumes, put on a dainty dance; the
girls of the fifth and sixth grades
performed an intricate pink and white
parasol drill; the seventh and eighth
grades In green costumes were grace
ful in a garland dance; the boys
marched splendidly in a sunflower
drill.
The next events to claim the Inter
est of the huge crowd were the pa
geants staged by each class as a part
of the competitive work of the day.
Each pageant consisted of three scenes
(representing life in colonial times.
The senior pageant showed first Co
lumbus at the court of Ferdinand
and Isabella. Spanish dancers per
formed before the court in a gay
dance. The spirit of discovery lead
Columbus on regardless of distraction,
until in the second scene he was
shown landing on American shores
and claiming the soil for Spain. Here,
were the first Indians, too. The last
scene here was' the showing of the
Spanish missionaries' rescue from
martyrdom at the hands of the In-
dlans. The Juniors portrayed French ,
colonial history, showing first Cartler
claiming America for France. Their
second scene showed the fur traders
in an Indian camp. An especially
effective Incident in their scene was
the hurried entrance of an Indian on
a pony, announcing the coming of the
traders. The last scene of the Junior's
pageant represented peasant life in '
Acadia. From the church merged a
wedding procession which, while seat
ed feaBtlng later was entertained by
a dance of French shepherdesses with
their crooks. The final pageant, put
on by the sophomore-freshman class,
portrayed the English in America. The
Pilgrims were shown marcning
through the forest. The second scene
showed the home life of the Pilgrims
as the maidens were spinning and
teaching an Indian maiden to spin.
The last scene depicted the well
known story of Pocohontas and John
Smith. The Indian medicine man, in a
huge buffalo robe attracted much at
tention. All the pageants were re
markable for the use of dramatic sit
uations, the perfection of detail and
the unusual cleverness in presentation.
After luncheon the spectators again
assembled to watch the contests In
tennis, the competitors In folk danc
ing, club swinging, volley ball and the
relay races. Threatening clouds and
gusts of rain almost drove the events
Into the gymnasium, but it was finally
possible to finish them out of doors.
When the chairmen of the various
committees had assembled before the
green to receive their respective hon
ors, it was found that the seniors and
juniors had tied with 13 points and
that the sophomore-freshman class
had taken third place. The juniors
had won first In the pageant and the
other scores were rather evenly di
vided between the upper classes. Ths
decision was received In good part by
all. The Judges were Miss Lewis from
the Oregon Agricultural college. Miss
Porter from Portland and City Super
intendent Elliott of Salem. The f ann
uity members of the May day commit
tee, Mr. Ostein, Miss Hoham, Miss Tay
lor, Miss Green and Miss Cohoon cer
tainly deserve much credit for ths
general planning and arrangement of
the day, which was one of the most
successful ever held In Monmouth.
Besides visitors from the neighboring
towns, a large number of graduates
and former students mads May 1 a
home coining day.
A number of K. P.'s will go to
8ilvertoD Saturday night to assist to
giving ths D. O. K. K. degree.
