New Course of Instruction May Be
Introduced One Additional
Teacher in High School.
A new course of instruction will
probably be instituted in the Dallas
high school this fall with the estab
lishment 'of a teacher's training
school. Definite announcement has
not been made, as yet regarding the
'creation of the new studies, but from
the enthusiasm with which the idea
has been greeted it is practically cer
tain that the course will be added to
the curiculum. There is a constantly
increasing enrollment in the high and
grade schools, and with it comes a de
mand for a wider range of instruc
tion. The teacher s course will be an
especially valuable addition and will
interest many youmg folks who have
not the desire or the opportunity to
persue their studies through college
or normal school in order to secure
teaching positions. The course will
fit students primarily for work in the
grade schools of the county and state,
and the studies will be directed by
Prof. Walter I. Ford, city superinten
dent of schools, with the assistance
of other high school instructors. A
valuable addition to the high school
teaching stall this year is Miss i
Owens, a Reed college graduate, who
will have charge of the work in his
tory and German. Miss Owens comes
well recommended from the Portland
institution, and with the personal
recommendation of President W. T.
Foster. All other teachers were at
the school last year and include II. H.
Dunkelberger, mathamatics and prin
cipal; utlio U. Hart, manual training
and bookkeeping; Maude A. MacDon
ald, sciences; Gladys Cartwright,
English; Rose M. Sheridan, domestic
science and art, and Gertrude Irwin,
music. Professor Ford will personal
ly supervise the work in both the
high and grade school, and his ambi
tion, which has been shown by his
achievements in the past, will be to
ward maximum efficiency from teach
ing staff and students.
A number of important improve
ments have been made around the
high school grounds and buildings.
Outside, the result of several years
zontal bars, and the superintendent
desires, to install this equipment,
which is a feature of all school and
public playgrounds in the larger cities
and most of the small ones in the
state, as soon as money is appropriat
ed for its purchase.
The total population of the high
and grade schools last year was 731.
Of this number 155 were in the high
school. The usual annual increase is
approximately 15 per cent, of which
the greater part is in the high school
department. At any rate the attend
ance this year should be nearly 800,
including both schools.
Those connected with educational
administration in the city who de
serve cbmmendation for their work,
especially in the careful and eftec-
tive use of school funds, are the mem
bers of the school board, R. L. Chap
man, chairman; Dr. is. H. McCallou,
Mrs. Ora Cosper, Mrs. Riley Craven
and C. J. Coad, and City Superinten
dent Walter I. Ford and' Tracy
Staats, clerk of the school board.
The combined efforts of this group of
workers this year will put scholastic
affairs in Dallas on a still higher
plane of efficiency than they have
been on in the many successful years
of the city's school history, during
which Dallas institutions have sent
into business, civic and social life
some of the state's most influential
citizens and hardest workers. May
the footsteps left on the sands of time
by these men prove guiding marks of
progress tor the young people who
will enter high school this year, and
for those who are now in the griie
school who will later find themselves
at more advanced doors.

HARVEST RECORDED SINCE 1880
df diligent agitation on the part of
.Uie superintendent and school board,
showing itself in all its verdant
-Hieauty; It is the grass. At this
time of year it is at its best, and, to
the credit of those who are respon
sible for its existence, it is one of the
prettiest and best kept lawns in the
city. Inside the building the lavator
ies have been improved, and many
little things and minor repair jobs
are noticeable, and, as a whole, make
a decided improvement. The build
ing will be ready to accommodate an
increased enrollment when the doors
are opened on September 20. Last
year there were 155 students in the
high school department, and in an
interview with The Observer Pro
fessor Ford placed his estimate for
the coming year at about 170. The
greatest increase in student popula
tion of the city has been in the high
school in the last few years, and is
accounted for by the lack of such
schools in the smaller towns near
Dallas, and by the ever increasing
tendency on the part young people to
gain the greatest possible knowledge.
This last is borne out, too, by the
increasing number of collegiate mar-
ticulations irom Dallas and Polk
county. Teachers contracts call for
a report in person, prepared for duity,
on oeptemoer ju, altliougli at this
time the school board has not official
ly set that date for the opening. So
many young people and school chil
dren spend the early weeks of Sep
tember in the hop fields that the
board usually determines the end of
the hop harvest before making official
announcement of the opening date for
the schools.'
In the grade school there still re
mains a vacancy in the teaching
force, but all other teachers are those
who had the positions last year. The
vacancy is in the third grade, or, at
the option of tbi board, in the fifth
grade. The eleven teachers who have
signed contracts for the grade school
work are Miss Ruta Nunn, Miss Cora
Rossi ter, Mrs. K. N. Wood, Mrs. Bon
nie smith, Miss Alta savage, Miss
Edna Morrison, Mix Emma Jost,
Mrs. Edith Plank, Miss Alice Grant,
Miss Piola toad and Alts. F. H. Mor
rison. The grade school building has
also been improved durag the sum
mer. few fireboxes havi been built
in the furnaces, meaning practically
new furnaces, and many little repairs
and refinements are in piact. On the
outside a part of the playgiound has
been filled in and leveled with gravel
and overlaid with sand. Thi mater

playground and will be thankftlly re
ceived by the youngsters when, they

playground apparatus that the btard
had hoped to install has not been tjur

"dren should be provided with swings.

Guesses and Estimates Make Year's
Yield Look Large and Small.
The first recorded hop harvest in
the state of Oregon was that of 1880,
soon after the first hops were plant
ed on the fertile lands along the Wil
lamette river. The crop that year
amounted to only 1935 hales. That
is quite a contrast to the yield in
1900, just twenty-two years later,
when 160,000 bales were harvested.
The largest crop in the history of the
hop industry in this state was picked
in 1906. Between 1880 and 1915 the
hop crop has advanced steadily in
quantity and quality, although, like
any other growing thing It has vaTned
Irom year to year. lor instance
1883 the harvest amounted to 4664
bales and the following year 10,902
bales were packed. In 1885 the crop
was reduced again to J09 bales. Dur
ing the first five years of the hop in
dustry in Oregon the crop increased
'tenfold, and in the following five
years it increased only a very little
over 50 per cent. In 1893 the crop
was 37,200 bales and by the next
year had just exactly doubled. From
that time on until 1910 the harvest
went up and down, due to many con
ditions. It reached 'the maximum
yield in 1906 when 160,000 bales were
harvested, but within three years had
fallen to 88,;00 bales again. The
closest approach to the crop record
was made in 1913, when 152,000 bales
were harvested. Last year the har
vest was 122,000 bales, and the yield
of the piesent year is most aptly rep
resented by a large question mark.
Many hop authorities, both growers
and buyers, have estimated the 1915
harvest at various figures, some . of
which are seriously questioned by the
growers in Polk county. One judge
says the crop will amount to as much
as 175,000 bales, while more conser
vative estimators bring it down as
low as 95,000 bales. It will be purely
a matter ot opinion, therefore, until
the entire crop is harvested and its
total given out by the growers.
More than twice as much improve
ment has been completed and is now
under way in the city than was done
last year. The expenditure will be
correspondingly large. Last year the
cost of street improvement, which
was confined to curbing and macada
mizing, was $7067.22, of which ap
proximately $1236.43 was expended
on curbing. Eight blocks were im
proved as compared with 2V2 blocks
which nave been improved or are un
der way this year. Although it is
difficult to determine costs before the
end of the year, when the total of
all warrants and claims have been
figured up, Auditor Gregory estimates
that the cost to property owners for
improvements now being carried on
will be about $800 a block. This is
figuring on an average, as some of
the blocks are 300 feet long while
others are twice that length. On some
streets, too, curbs have already been
built, or curb will be built on only
one side of the street, and some
streets are only 25 feet wide while
others are double that width. Figur
ing with the cost of the work last
year as a basis the city auditor's es
timate should be very nearly correct.
The work will cost more than $800 a
block, but the city bears part of the
expense. The cost of constructing
street intersections, cross-walks and
extending the curb beyond property
lines is paid by the municipality. The
average cost last year was $883.40 for
each of the eight blocks. On the same
basis this year the total cost will be
nearly $19,000.00.
Of the 21V2 blocks of macadam
pavement being constructed this year
part is on each of ten streets, includ
ing Uglow avenue, Academy, Church,
nobb, Levens, Ash, Birch, Court. Clav
and Hayter streets. Most of this
work will be completed this year if
plans or the street commissioner work
out, and all will be done, if possible.
before the rainy season sets in. Lat
er in the year City Auditor Gregory
will prepare an accurate cost sheet
covering the street work and segre
gating the various charges under their
proper healings.
HOME CREDITS POPULAR
PARENTS OP POLK COUNTY
DEMAND FOR SYSTEM.
School Pupils, Too, Eager to Get Rec
ognition for Work Accomplished
at Home After Honrs.
A. J. LUCE DIES IN EAST
The home credit system as an in
centive to more and better work out
side of the schoolroom will be con
tinued in the schools of Polk county
during the coming year on the par
ents' own demand. Pupils have ac
complished so much in the household
and on the farm during the past year,
when home credits were shaped to
meet changing conditions, that their
parents have given final indorsement
to the system.
Under the plan the school princi
pal keeps a set of books; fupils do
work at home. They bring to school
their own message of what they have
done. The work is credited to them.
At first a parent's statement of ac
complishments was required, but as
the system became firmly established
the messages were entrusted to the
pupils themselves.
Credit is given tor milking cows,
sweeping the house, cooking, sleep
ing wiMi open windows, as well
for care of teeth, hair, etc. Credit
is given, too, to pupils who walk
more than a mile and a half to school,
One of the results has been a higher
attendance record. In the Fail-view
district, where the work has been car
ried for four years, the school start
ed with an average of 94 per cent and
ended last year with an average of
98.5.
Pupils have vied strongly for home
credit honors, competition growing
more keen as the end of the term
nears. The districts offer prizes to
be distributed at graduation exercises
to the three best home credit work
ers.

The exhibits, which more than 3000
persons viewed during the three days,
were Indian products displayed in a
modern way. From a grave was due
a basket so beautiful in design and
color that Dr. Frachtenberg offered,
only to be refused, $100 for it.
A woodpecker headdress, which
would have bought a wife in olden
times, made of ten woodpeckers' bills
and topknots, such as only a chief or
medicine meu might be privileged to
wear, was displayed. Beads which
the Hudson Bay company had made
especially for trading with the . In
dians, baskets of bark, willow, maid
enhair ferns, etc., woven into beauti
ful designs, beaded mocasins, -a
smokehouse made of grass, ferns and
rushes and models of Indian dugout
canoes were displayed.
The Indian dresses of bullrushes
and beaded ornaments were especial

Ten Acres Make Big Yield.
The best yield of small grain in
Benton county is believed to have
come from lO1 acres farmed by Wal
ter N. Locke, five miles north of Cor
vailis. Mr. Locke threshed 1134 busH
els of oats, a net yield of 108 bushels
an acre. The land on which the oats
was grown was homesteaded by Mr.
Locke's grandfather in 1847. A few
years ago, after the farm had "run
down," Mr. Locke brought the land
back by means of clover and rotation
of crops.

Many Deputies on Duty.
In addition to the regular police
force, Independence has thirteen dep
uty sheriffs on duty during the hop-
picking season, a sufficient number of
qualified officers to quell a riot. Sher
iff Orr made the additional appoint
ments on Saturday, the purpose being
to apprehend individuals guilty ot
misdemeanors with neatness and dis
patch. Hop picking began in some of
the Independence yards today, and
there are many pickers on the ground,
but the harvest will not be well un
der way until later in the week.
Licensed to Wed.
A marriage license was issued on
Saturday by County Clerk Robinson
to Albert Cox, age 23, and Grace Bo-

party motored from Independence.
William C. Wood, age 27, secured a
license at the eountv clerk's office to
marry Queen A. E. Dickinson, age 20.
Ibe young couple came from Inde
pendence.
Word has been received from Onei
da, N. Y., of the death at that place
on August 5 of A. J. Luce, known by
all hopgrowers and dealers of the Pa
cific coast as "Pop" Liice. He oper
ated in this state for a number of
years and made several fortunes in
Oregon hops. In 1880, when hops
went to a high price, Mr. Luce's Ore
gon purchases made him a rich man.
He bought a section of land in Cana
da and set out a great hopyard,
spending about $125,000 on the ven
ture. AH of this he lost in a reverse
of the market.
Beginning again as a poor man, he
returned to Portland in 1886 and
opening an office there acted as a deal
er for several years. Later he invest
ed in a large number of three-year
contracts with Oregon growers and
the rising markets of 1901, 1902 and
1903 brought him wealth. Unlike
most speculators, he knew when to
quit. Closing up his affairs here, he
returned to his old home in Oneida,
where be invested bis money in bus
iness property and spent the remain
der of his days in ease. Mr. Luce
was about 68 years old. A widow
survives him.

from which schoolboys get their dog

Indian tomtoms or drums made of
skins and gambling, sticks, and hun
dreds of other interesting things best
told by the Oregonian correspondent
on the ground in the following letter
to his paper:"
"There are 426 Indians on the Si

these, representing both sexes of var

Indians managed everything them
selves. Walter S. Hall of Siletz,
president of the fair, was the only
white man on the committee. In the
opening exercises John Adams, an In

tribes and eight distinct languages.

The leading players are Francis X.
Bushman, Beverly Bayne, Thomas
Commerford and Helen Dunbar. Mr.
Bushman appears as Grenfall Lorry,
the young American hero; Miss
Bayne is the princess and Mr. Com
merford and Miss Dunbar are the un
cle and aunt of the heroine. The film
is a picturization of George Barr Mo-
Cutcheon's most popular novel. Some
of the scenes are laid in New York
and Washington, and some on the
train from Denver to Washington,
but for the most part the action is
in the mythical kingdom of Graus
tark. It is replete with thrills, and
teems with delightful romance, mak
ing an absorbing combination. The
hero, Grenfall Lorry, is the type be
loved by all picture play patrons. He
is tall, handsome and daring, and his
pursuit of the idol of his eye, though
it takes him half way around the
world, make a picture that you should
not tail to see.
In reviewing "Graustark" James
S. McQuade, the well-known critic
says: "A close analysis will reveal
that the production required infinite
care and constant attention to detail.
in order to keep the spectator in close
touch with the thread of the narra
tive." Liberal praise is given the
actors and actresses in the. cast for

there was not a single jarring note to
'disturb the harmony and pleasure
created by intelligent, artistic act

bell, who fifty years ago stood in the
same manner as bridesmaid and best
man at the wedding of the Dashiells. ,
Fifty years of successful, happy mar
ried lite has been the allotment of the
former. What is means to have been
married fifty years was evidenced by
the close attention and the keen ap
preciation of fhe large audience. Dur- '
ing the reading of a brief history and ;
euology of the happy couple who
have passed the half centuiry mark
together on the road of congugal fe-
lieity, the principals were seated on
the platform beneath a large golden
bell. The color scheme of the dee
orations was gold and a rich shade of
brown. Fern fronds and flowers gave
life to the setting and a mass of hap
py faces in the audience indicated
the many hearty congratulations that 1
were extended to the celebrants. Bar
ton Z. Riggs of Corvallis read the ,
anniversary service and the marriage
license by which Mr. and Mrs. Dash
iell were united fifty years ago. Mr.
Riggs, in the service, wished for the
couple a continuation of their happi
ness, after pronouncing them well
worthy for having spent to many
years in success, happiness and pros
perity. In his preliminary address
Mr. Riggs condoned the idea of hasty
marriage, and the divorce evil, saying
that divorce perhaps was the right of
man or woman, but that there never
was justification. for' another start af
ter divorce. ...
After the anniversary service the
celebrating couple and the bridesmaid
and groomsman, proceeded by Mr.
Riggs and followed by a number of
the remaining twenty-four of the
thirty people who witnessed the origi
nal ceremony many years ago, formed
a procession which marched to the
hallway of the church. Here the cou
ple received the good wishes and con
gratulations of hundreds of relatives
and friends. Following this the re
ception was held in the church base
ment. Great quantities of cakes and
refreshments indicated the nature of
the reception.
Robert Dashiell and Orpha A.
Campbell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. G. Campbell, were united in- the
holy bonds of wedlock in Salt Creek, .
August 30, 1865, tbe Rev. G. W. ' "
Richardson, a Christian minister,
performing the ceremony that united
them in marriage. The wedding was
attended by a goodly number of
neighbors and friends from this then
sparsely settled section of Oregon,
among those present being J. M.
Campbell, T. J. Campbell, Mrs. Sarah
Black, nee Campbell, Mrs. M. M. El
lis, nee D'Lashmutt, W. G. Campbell,
then of Fort Yamhill, Mr. Alliert Al
len, a brother of Mrs. Hardy Holman,
who now resides at The Dalles, John
Morris and Mrs. W. C. Campbell, nee
D'Lashmutt. The latter two crossed
the plains with Robert Dashiell in
1860, and acted as bridesmaid and
groomsman at the wedding, and again
Monday night, after fifty years.
Mr. and Mrs. Dashiell resided on
a farm in Salt Creek four years fol
lowing their marriage, after which
time they moved to Eastern Oregon
and then to Eastern Washington,
where the greater number of their
children were born. The husband was
in Spokane, Washington, when that
now populous city bad but two slat
shanties, and it was he who hauled
the first wagonload of merchandise
into that place from a landing on the
Columbia river, there being no rail
way connections at that early day.
Until 1890, when tbe family returned
to Dallas to make a permanent home,
Mr. Dashiell fanned, raised stock and
followed other like occupations. Be-
ng honest and upright in all his deal
ings with his fellow men, conservative
in his business enterprises and care
ful about making useless expendi
tures, Mr. Dashiell, during his long
life of activity, reared a family of
eight children and besides acquired
sufficient means for tbe rainy day
that comes with the ripened years.
Those children who are living, and all
of whom will be present on this not
able occasion, are : Ernest L. of Tur
