BURT'S THEATRE.

"The Great White Diamond" which
comes to the Burt's Sunday, is a gem
of the first water and one of the best
equipped scenic productions travel
ling. The idea of the play is original
and the action strong.
There is little scene in "The
Night Before Christmas" which al
ways appeals straight to the heart
about Il grave; a man tells of his re-
morse and voices his determination of
vengeance on the wrongdoer Near it
the lovers come and tell the sweet
story and by its quiet sward, the
tragedy upon which the dramatic incl
donts of the play hangs, is erected.
Very seldom the most blase theater-
goer can look upon the mound with
out feeling a lump rising in the throat
over the sad life of "Poor Nell" who
lies beneath. "The Night Before
Christmas" will be seen on Thursday,
for three days.

The fact that it is the best

to why it does what it does.

Ready For Business.

Fred J. Oberer, who recently moved
his oak sawmill from the Luckiamute
hills to Independence, was in Dallas
yesterday on a business visit. He in
forms us that his mill is now ready
for operation, and that he expects to
begin cutting logs at once. The mill
has been thoroughly overhauled and
large amount Of the very latest-im-
proved machinery added. The plant
will be operated to its full capacity,
cutting ash, maple, and other hard
wood timber in the Willamette river
bottom near Independence. There is
steady demand for lumber of this
class, most of the orders coming from
San Francisco. Mr. Oberer has had
many years experience in operating
hardwood sawmills, and knows how
to turn out a first-class article of lum-
ber. This sawmill is an important
industry for Independence, as several
hands will be given employment at
good wages, and there is timber near
at hand to keep the mill running for
several years.

REPORTS ARE CONFLICTING
Former Polk County Boy Meets
Death In Philippines.

News was received last Saturday of
the death Of Lieutenant Richard Davis
in the Philippines. Lieutenant Davis
was a son of Mrs. John Finn, of Nc
Coy, and brother of Miss Myrtle
Davis, a former well-known school
teacher of this county The reports of
his death are conflicting, the news
papers saying that he was killed in
an escape of Filipino prisoners, while
it is reported that his mother received
a cablegram to the effect that he died
Of heart disease. The correct particu-
lars will not be known until the
mail steamer arrives from the
islands. Lieutenant Davis was popu-
lar both in army circles and in private
life, and the news Of his death has
caused deep sadness among his
friends and acquaintances. His
brother, Captain Milton f. Davis, is a
prominent officer in the United States
Army.

BASKET BALL TONIGHT
Dallas College First Team VIII Meet
Vancouver Athletic Club.

The lovers Of basket ball will turn
out in force tonight to see the lads in
crimson do battle with the basketball
team Of the Vancouver Athletic Club.
This will be the first game of the year
for the first college team, and every
body will be anxious to see the new
men in action. Arthur Wilson, one
of the crack players on last years

Vancouver team, and he has doubt
less given his men many valuable
pointers on Dallas style of playing.
But no one knows what new plays the
college boys may have up their sleeve,
and some neat surprises may be
sprung on the visitors. At any rate,
lively game is expected, and stand
ing room in the gymnasium will
doubtless be at a premium. Seats are
now selling at Belt & Cherrington' S
drugstore.

prairie another cloud OF dust more
rapid than that stirred up by the SOW
moving emigrant wagon. Sam, the

halfway on his journey. Obviously
the courses of these two vehicles
must intersect, and at tho natural
point of this intersection the driver
of the faster pulled up and waited for

common in that region that the stage
driver, natural news agent, must not
pause for investigation.
The driver of the wagon, a tall,
dark man, drew rein with grave SAL
utation, his tired horses standing with
dropping heads while there took place
one OF the pregnant conversations Of
the plains.

Waits for His Master.

"Fello, Ribs, he amt on this train!'
Thus brakeman or baggagemaster
greets big black and white dog
which every evening trots down tc
the station in a small Pennsylvania
town to meet the train on which his
master used to come home.
Ribs master has not come home on
the train for many months. He was
conductor of a train which was
wrecked, and was killed. But Ribs
has never missed train. He stands
on the platform wagging his tail, his
tongue hanging out, an expression OF
anxious hope in his eyes, waiting for
his master.
When one of the trainmen explains
"He amt on this train" the red
tongue goes slowly back into the big
mouth, the strong jaws close, the
shaggy tail drops and Ribs turns and
walks back to his kennel. But on the
following day he appears promptly
in time for his masters usual train.
and waits until some one of the pity
ing train hands tells him. "He AIM
come in yeti"
