CITY TAX LEVY is 6 MILLS
Will Raise Sum Sufficient to Paw All
Running Expenses and Reduce
City Debt.

The tax levy for general city pur-
poses in Dallas has been fixed at 6
mills This tax, together with the
revenue received from licenses and
fines, is expected to pay all the run
ming expenses Of the city for the next
year, and also to pay warrant for
$432 issued in the purchase of the new
fire apparatus. The levy is the same
as that of last year, ard one mill less
than the levy of two years ago. The
city has been running on a6-mill levy
for the last two years, and during that
time, with the aid of licenses and fines,
has paid all running expenses, as we'll
as $500 on the City Hall debt. 1t has
also built and equipped house for
the hose-carts at a cost Of $149; paid
1927 on fire apparatus, and $64 for
extra fire hydrants. In addition to
the above purchases and improve
ments, this levy has also paid the cost
Of the outlet sewer at the foot Of Court
street amounting to $3.50, so that no
sewer bonds were necessary. This
makes total of $144O that has been
paid off by the council in the last two
years, aside from the regular running
expenses Of the city. The tax to be
paid this year will be as follows: City,
6 mills; water tax, 43 mills-a total of
1O3 mills, as against III mills for the
year 1904.

WILD TRIBES AT FAIR
Native Filipino Villages VIII Show
Manners and Customs Of the
Islanders.

Native villages will be a feature Of
the Philippine display at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, and they will
embrace a more comprehensive show
ing of the manners and customs Of
the wild tribes Of the Islands than did
those at st. Louis.
The villages will be inhabited by
about three hundred natives repre-
senting several different tribes. There
will be the dog-eating Igorrotes, the
fighting Moros, the Negritos, who are
the real aborigines Of the Islands, and
the gentle, civilized Visayans. The
natives will arrive at the Exposition
some time in April and will build
their own houses out of bamboo and
nipa. The villages will be located on
the Government peninsula in the
center of Guilds Lake. The Moros
will build their houses on poles over
the water as they do at home, while
the Igorrotes and Negritos will build
squatty little huts in the wooded por-
ton of the peninsula. The VisaYans
will be located on the Trail where they
will conduct native theater.
The natives who were at the st.
Louis Exposition are now on their
way back to the Philippines, having
left Seattle, December 10, on the Iyo
Maru, a japanese vessel. They are
returning home with the intention OF
telling the people of their tribe Of the
wonders of America, and many are
also looking forward to their return to
Portland next Spring. Antonia, chief
of the Bontoc Igorrotes, visited Port
land recently with DR.. t. X. Hunt,
who collected and had charge Of the
exhibit at st. Louis. AS Antonia will
return to the Lewis and Clark Exposi-
ton, he desired to look over the
grounds, so that he could tell the peo-
pie where they were coming next year
Antonia was much pleased with the
Exposition and the Rose City, and
will exert his influence in DR.. Hunts
behalf, in the collection Of the natives.
When DR.. Hunt was arranging for
the st. Louis exhibit, he was handi-
capped by the fact that the Igorrotes
had never been more than ten miles
away from home, and knew practically
nothing of the outside world. They
had no idea where they were going,
how they would get there or whether
they would ever return. But, never
theless, some Of them put explicit con-
fdence in DR.. Hunt, who had lived
with them for a year and who had
always been their friend. Naturally
there were some OF the warriors Of the
tribe, fighting men Of six feet in stat
ure, who refused TO make the trip.
But the glowing accounts ofthe safely
returned travellers will create a desire
in the rest Of the people to visit
America, and DR.. Hunt can take his

DALLAS WINS GAME
Albany Basketball Team Defeated
by Score OF rs to 7.

Outplayed at every point the basket
ball team of Company G, Oregon
National Guard of Albany, went down
to an overwhelming defeat before the
swift team Of the Dallas Athletic Club
at the College gymnasium in this city
last Friday evening. The soldier boys
were no match for their skilled
opponents, and the game was too one
sided to be of much interest to the
spectators. No field goals we're thrown
by Albany in the first half, and it
looked for time as if the visitors
would have to content themselves with
the points made from the foul line;
but as the game was nearing an end,
the ball was dropped by Dallas
man, and an Albany player was
quick to sieze the advantage and
throw a field basket. Marks was
easily the star player for the visitors,
and it was his good work that saved
his team from worse defeat than it
received The final score was rs to
in favor Of Dallas.
The game demonstrated the fact that
the Dallas Athletic Club has material
for first class basket ball team. The
boys handle the ball quickly and
accurately, are excellent in team work,
and are good basket-throwers, With
little practice, they will be able to
hold their own with the best college
teams in the state.
The Albany boys won the admiration
Of the crowd by their clean playing
and gentlemanly department. At no
time did they resort to trickery or
underhanded work to win their points,
and the remark was heard on all sides
at the close Of the game that a more
gentlemanly lot of players had never
appeared on the Dallas floor. The
Albany basketball boys are a credit
to their company and their town,
The lineup was as follows:
Albany Position Dallas
Marks Forward Ford, Southwick
Coates T. Teats
Nelson Center Burch
Schultz Guard Myer, Southwick
Cleek Ford, Myer
officials Referee, Bert Teats; um-
pire, Shaw timekeeper, Walter Ford.
The teacher was giving talk on
government. She began with few
remarks on the Office Of president, and
to further interest the children asked
the little boys If they would like to be
president of the United States. All in
the affirmative were to raise their
hands. Up went the hands of all save
one small urchin with red hair. In
stead of elevating his fist, he bored it
into his eyes and wept violently. The
teacher was much concerned and
pressed to know his trouble Wouldn't
you like to be PRESIDENT" she asked.
Il can't; I'm democrat" came the
heart-broken response.-Ex.

Do We Eat Too Much

Professor Russell H. Chittenden says
that we eat too much. Yet most of us
are in constant scramble to get more
But the professor has proved his con-
tention by means of experiments, which
he recently recounted to a meeting of
the National Academy of Sciences in
Washington. He said three classes of
men were experimental on-several
professors at the school, including Pro
lessor Chittenden himself; several stu
dents and a squad of United States SOL
diers. There was u gradual reduction
of meat and other proteid foods, with
litlle If any increase in starch and 9th
er foods, in nearly all the tests. No
fixed regimen was required in any
case, the endeavor being to satisfy the
appetite of each subject. In only one
case was meat entirely eliminated
from the diet.
At the end of the experiments, which
lasted nearly a year and were conclud-
ed only few days ago, the entire lot
of men who had been Professor Chit
tenden's subjects were in the best of
health. Their weight in some cases
was almost exactly the same as when
the experiments were begun and in
some slightly lower. Their bodily Wig

holders have arranged to receive visit
ors. These houses are in every section
of the city, and the rates at which
guests will be received is matter Of
record on the books of the bureau.
The Inside inn, hotel on the Ex-
position grounds, has capacity for
5000 guests. The Exposition manage
have been fixed at from $3.50 to $3.50
per day, European plan, including ad-
mission to the grounds. On the Amer
lean plan the rates range from So to 50
per day. The hotel is 400 by 800 feet
and is three stories high.
There are more than 100 established
hotels in ST. Louis, and signed agree
ment has been made between many OF
their managers with the Exposition Of
ficials that rates shall not be raised
during the Exposition period. Many
new hotels have been built on sites ad-
jacent to the Exposition grounds, and
the published fixed rates warrant the
assertion that no one need pay exor-
bitant rates for accommodations either
at hotels or private houses.
Among the new hotels may be men
toned the Hotel Napoleon Bonaparte,
which stands at Clayton avenue and
Skinker road, overlooking the Exposi-
ton grounds. This hostelry will ac-
commodate 5000 persons. The rates,
European plan, are from 81 to So per
day. The Grand View hotel, south of
the Exposition, on Oakland avenue, has
a capacity for 5000 guests, and the
rates are 81 to $3.50 per day, European,
and So to $3.50 per day on the Amer
lean plan. The Kenilworth, on West
Park boulevard and Billion avenue, has
a capacity of 1900 guests, with rate
of $1.50 per day.
The above mentioned are few OF the
new hotels that have been erected near
the Exposition grounds for the accom-
modat ton of Worlds Fair visitors. All
told there are about twoscOre. All are
within easy walking distance, and all
are situated on high ground, with com.
prehensive views of the grounds. All
of the structures are well built, and in
some of them the most luxurious quar-
ters are obtainable. The rates are es
ia .lished and will not be increased dur
ing the Exposition.
