District Attorney Will Enforce Law
After Tonight.
The punch-board brigade lias been
ordered to disband by District Attor
ney Sibley, who has given it this even
ing to muster its members together,
and to complete an inspection of its
various tickets and chances. During
the year pjjnch-board operators have
grown rich in Dallas, and likewise the
players have grown poor. The sim
ple looking punch board is the cause
of many broken dollars and dozeim
of broken pledges, Ib might also be
responsible for a broken heart or two
in the cases of wives who have been
promised a fine cut glass water set
or a ten-pound box of candy if hubby
won at .the game. The harmless look
ing punch-board, into which one puts
a peg and gets a numDer eniuiin
him to a chance on some beautiful
nrize. is barred from the circle ct
snorts in this city. And those nd-
dicted to the habit of punching the
numbers will regret to observe its
demise. There are countless changes
out now on guns, waitches, water sets
and what not, that are to be called in
where the winner will be announced
this evening. In many cases all
chances have not been taken and the
merchants who own the boards will be
the loosers. Orders are commands,
however, and prosecution is in store
for any who evade or neglect to ob
serve the law.
VALLEY & SILETZ ACTIVE.
Luckiamute Residents Expect Large
Crew to Appear Soon.
People living in the Luckiamute
country are enthusiastic and see great
prosperity in store for them as a re
sult of the activities of the Valley &
Siletz railroad company. Within the
last ten days or so the company has
delivered about forty carloads of
steel alone its route, and it is the
opinion of those who have been watch
ing the activities that a crew of near
ly 200 men will be put to work in a
very short (time. In tact, it is tlie
word-given by officials of the company
that work will be under way before
the end of January. Settlers arc con
stantly coming into the district, along
the new railroad, and their coming is
rapidly increasing the population of
that section of the county. Yesterday
steel was unloaded along the railroad
right-of-way and I. M. Simpson is one
authority tor the intorntation that
the construction gang will be at it
with pick and shovel within a fort
night.
TO IMPROVE CHURCH STREET.
Holiday Party Mre. E. V. Dalton
and Miss Edna Holmes were hostess
es at a delightful holiday party at
the Dalton home on Wednesday even
ing. The rooms were tastefully dec
orated in keeping with the season and
the occasion, and iter a very pleas
ant evening the guests enjoyed ia
beautifully appointed two-course
luncheon. The evening was spent in
holiday games, many of them novel
and all interesting, and in enjoying
the musical numbers. Mrs. Dodge
Bicknell played at the piano and Ed
na Morrison rendered very pleasing
vocal numbers. The prizes ill the
principal games of the evening were
won bv Mrs. W. L. Soehren and Miss
Georgiana Fiske. Though Christmas
day had passed the party was one at
which all enjoyed the Christmas spir
it. The games especially were of the
Christmas season and gift packages
of all kinds figured in the contests.
One of these was a search throughout
the house for little packages, hidden
in every conceivable place. The lady
whose Christmas stocking held Due
greater number of packages was
awarded the prize.

were: Mesdames Conrad Stnfrin,

Pleasant Gathering The Young
Woman's section of the Woman's
club held the last meeting for 1915
at the home of Mrs. Maurice Dalton
Monday evening, December 27. The
occasion was a Christmas exchange
party. An exchange, not as someone
suggested, oi the unwelcome pit 6 tor
something really desired, but exchange
of bright ideas tor dett fingers to
work into material torm. Each girl
brought from among her store one or
two gifts which embodied especially
attractive features, and carried away
from the display a goodly number ot
clever ideas for future use. The
crackling logs in the grate sent a jol
ly invitation to the corn-popper and
the evening passed merrily, for the
hearts of the company were as light
as the white dancing over the glowing
coals. The first meeting of the new
year will occur January 10. The
membership of the club is growing and
they are planning some interesting
events for 1016. . .

Coldest Weather of Year Now Being
Experienced.
Why haven't Dallas people a per
fect right to shiver and hug the fire
these daysT The mercury has gone
racing down the thermometer tube
twice this week until it reached the
year's lowest temperafure at 20 de
grees above zero. That much cold is
unusual in this particular pant of the
earth, and those who bundle up have
a perfectly legitimate alibi. In other
parte of the state the thermometer is
breaking records for cold weather,
for instance at Portland, where, in
going down to 24 degrees it was colder
than at any time in the past several
years. This morning Dallas temrtera
ture signals registered about 24 de
grees at 8 o'clock and yesterday
morning the thermometer was at 20
degrees exactly. , ,
Dallas Police Are Notified.
Dallas police were notified Tuesday
night by Sheriff Hurlburt of Multno
mah codntyi to be on the lookout for

young married woman at Gresham
Tuesday afternoon and shot her when
she resisted his advances. Kemp is
described as being 21 years old but
appears to be a few years older, and
is 5 feet 10 or 11 inches tall. He has
light brown hair and light blue eyes
wnd wore a dark colored suit, a light
hat and a blue shirt. He has the ap
pearance of a workman but formerly
was a sailor.

There was a wine end beer famine
in Falls City yesterday, and several
Dallas orders were necessarily turned

session of the procrastinating ones,
who had awaited the arrival of the
eleventh hour to lay in a supply. By
tonight practically all the intoxicants
within the county will have gone in

Southern Pacific Company Will Rock
Its Right of Way.
The Southern Pacific company will
forthwith improve either side anil be
tween the rails of its track on Church
street between Washington and Oak
streets, the material for whieh ha
been otilered for delivery within the
ensuing few days. At present there
are several places on this thorough
fare where it is practically imxs
sible for a vehicle to cross the rail
road track by reason of the iron bands
being far aliove it lie grade. .It is the
purpose of the company to eliminate
this difficulty bv placing crushed rm-k
upon the street and between the rails. I
thus making it possible to traverse
any part thereof without difficulty.
Open Year With Near Beer.
Fixtures are being installed in a
Main street room of the City hank
building by Robert Cofelt and Har
vey Greenwood; who will open a soft
brinks parlor, and probably a near
beer saloon, shortly after the first of
the year. The owners will fit up a
first-elass place that will have many
of the earmarks of the ordinary sa
loon, and if the liquid can be secured
will serve near beer in place of the
amber fluid of the saloons of 1015.
The owners say that the beveraee tiiey
plan to serve is so nearly like real
beer that only those of the most epi
curean tastes can distinguish the dif
