of Marion county on Saturday in a
letter to G. S. Costello of Portland.
Mr. Costello had written asking if it
were true that (lie county courv umi
decided not to call for competitive
bids on plans.
"The county court has not decid
ed to call off competition for bridge
.lacima nrifl nlnns. " writes Mr. Geh-

have made an effort to have this done
to destrov comnetition and to perpet

PRUNES GO EVERYWHERE.
Packing Plant Hurries to Supply
Christmas Demand.
To Biipply the local demand for
small Christmas boxes of prunes the
J. K. Armsby company's plant is
packing this week. Although most
of the grocers in town handle a Sa
lem packed prune, one of the stores,
Vassall and Company, has sold only
the local pack, and the prune busi
ness at that store has been a big
item of the Christmas trade. The
proprietors conceived the idea of gst
tiner the prunes ud in neat little box
es and making a flat rate for ship
ping them anywhere in the Unite!
States. As a result it would appear
that nearly half the population of
Dallas has sent prunes for Christmas
gifts. Among the orders taken for
these small packs are some to prac
tically every state in the union. If
there is a state to which customers
haven't consigned prunes Ma-. Vassall
and Mr. Viers failed to recall it. The
boxes in which the prunes are packed
all bear the label of the local packers
and the name of the city and county.
BRIDGE TRUST IS CHARGED.
Surprise at Perrydale A most
pleasant surprise in the nature of a
party was given Mr. and Mrs. Cald
well at their Jiome in Perrydale. A
beautiful silver tea set was presented

chosen words in behalf of the com
pany present. This present was only
a small token of the esteem held in
that vicinity for Mr. and Mrs. Caul
wll. All wern deliarhtfullv enter
tained throughout the evening by the
Perrvdsle orchestra. At a late hour
nuts and dainty candies were distrib
uted and a very pleasant evening was
thus sDent. Those present were Mr.
and Mrs. McKee, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Morrison, Mr. and Mrs. Gilliam, Mr.
and Mrs. Elliott, Mr. and Mrs. Lee,
