Depot Phones Taken Out.

The free telephones have been taken
out of the Southern Pacific depots IN
Dallas and other valley towns on ae-
count of a disagreement between the
railroad company and the Pacific
States Telephone Company. The ex-
act nature of the difficulty is not
known here, but it is said to be
practically as follows: When the
telephone company first began plac-
ing telephones in the valley towns,
permission was asked of the railroad
company to install free instruments
in the depots to help develop the tele-
phone business. This permission was
granted, and the phones were put IN.
Recently, the telephone company
asked the S. P. company to pay for
these phones in the future, and this
the railroad company refused to do,
declaring that the depot phones had
been valuable to the telephone CON-
pany in increasing the list of sub
scribers. and that the free service was
worth more to the telephone company
than to the railroad. The people OF
Dallas are of the opinion that depot
phone is mutually beneficial to each
company, and it is hoped that each
will make reasonable concessions and
reinstate the service. A free Mutual
phone was placed in the Dallas depot
yesterday afternoon.

AN URGENT NEED.

One of Dallas urgent needs at the
present time is suitable facilities for
shipping livestock The town has
never had stock yards Of any kind,
and, as a consequence, much trade
that rightfully belonged to Dallas
has been diverted to other points. The
Board of Trade has taken the matter
In hand, and hopes to be able to
remedy existing conditions. An
urgent appeal for suitable stock-ship-
ping facilities was forwarded to the
Portland office Of the Southern Pacific
Company this week, and it is expected
that this letter will be backed by a
strong petition from stock-buyers,
business men and farmers.
With the rapid settlement Of the
vast grazing country west Of Dallas,
stock raising is rapidly becoming one
of our important industries. Dallas
is the center of the Angora goat in
dustry in Oregon, and the raising Of
cattle, sheep and hogs is being en-.
gagged IN by the farmers on larger
scale than ever before. The stock
buyers in this field are urging the
Importance Of suitable stock yards in
Dallas, and the business men have
interested themselves in their behalf.
1t is generally believed that when a
proper showing Of existing conditions
Is made to the railroad company,
needed shipping facilities will be pro-
vided

SAW LUMBER HERE
L. Gerlinger says Another Large
SawmiII in Dallas Would Prove
Paying Investment.

L. Gerlinger, president Of the Dallas
and Falls City railroad, came up from
Portland last Thursday, and on Fri
day morning went to Falls City, where
he spent the day looking over the
work that has been accomplished in
extending the road into the timber
west of that town. He returned to
Portland Saturday morning.
Mr.. Gerlinger says that his road
will soon be completed into an ex-
cellent body of timber, and that haul
ing of logs will then begin. These
logs will be hauled to Portland and
other points, if there is no demand for
them at home. He is strongly of the
opinion that another big sawmill in
Dallas would be one Of the best in
vestments that the people Of this city
could possibly make, and adds that he
is ready to take liberal share OF
stock in such an enterprise
"With the extensive investments I
have made in timber in Polk county
in the last few years, and the heavy
expense OF building and equipping a
railroad, I cannot see my way clear
to build sawmill in Dallas at this
time" said Mr.. Gerlinger; "but 1 am
confident that a large mill costing not
less than $4,000 or $4,000 would
prove a profitable investment from
the day the mill was put in operation.
We are in a position to furnish logs
to such mill at rate lower than
could possibly be obtained elsewhere,
and there is no reason why the mill
should not run every day in the year.
Another sawmill would mean much
for the future prosperity of Dallas, as
it would furnish work for a large
number of men at good wages, and
all lines of business in the town would
profit thereby. 1t would mean a
rapid increase in population and a
prosperous commercial future.
"The people of Dallas should not
wait for outside help, but should
build and operate this mill them
selves" continued Mr.. Gerlinger.
"There is ample capital in Dallas to
build and equip the mill, and every
business man can afford to take stock
in the enterprise. I am willing to
subscribe literally, and will do all in
my power to get the enterprise estab-
lished. Dallas is the right location
for mill to saw this timber, and her
people cannot afford to see the logs
hauled through the town to be sawed
at other points. Tell the people that
1 am interested in Dallas growth and
prosperity" concluded Mr. Gerlinger,
"and that 1 will do all in my power to
help them make a success of a big
new sawmill at this place. Organize
a stock company among your people
and build the mill, and you will hold
the prestige that belongs to Dallas as
the natural outlet for the great timber
tracts Of the Lucklamute and Siletz
basins"

continue. With mohair at 323 cents

who raise sheep and goats are
In better shape financially than

A remonstrance against the reno,

A remonstrance against the removal
Of the United States Land Office from
Oregon City to Portland received
numerous signatures in Dallas this
week. The opinion generally ex-
pressed among our citizens is that
there are no good reasons for the
change, and that the removal OF the
Office would be a serious blow to Ore
gon City, while it would mean little to
Portland, one way or the other Bruce
@. Curry, Of Oregon City, who is cir
culating the remonstrance, says that
he finds public sentiment throughout
the district strongly opposed to the
proposed change.

LIVELY Class Shirt.

A small sized riot occurred at the
Monmouth Normal last Friday. The
occasion of the outbreak was the hoist
ing of the Freshman flag on the flag
pole The harmless looking flag was
discovered by an observant Junior
who soon spread the news and in a
few minutes most of the students were
"hard at it" in an attempt to have the
flag removed or remain. The seniors
and juniors combined forces and were
finally successful in lowering the
cause of the trouble. Then a fierce mix
up ensued. Dean Butler appeared on
the scene at this juncture and was
able to talk down the battle till he
secured the flag and locked it in the
safe. No fatalities are reported.
Queer thing this college spirit. Dur
ing the outbreak the entire work Of
the school was at a standstill, aud the
most stern and commanding orders
Of the faculty were Of no avail.-In-

MONTH is SHOWN.

During this month the fire department
has not had a serious loss from fire. The
heaviest loss was the residence of John
C. Forney, when the damage by fire and
water was something over $500.
This is rather a remarkable record in
consideration of the fact that January is
generally a month Of many fires and seri-
Gus losses If the remaining days of the
month are as devoid of losses as the first
twenty-one days the month will be a
record breaker and the losses will not
be over $500 or 5000.
During this month the weather has been
very cold at times and brisk wind was
blowing. conditions conducive of fire
losses. but in every instance the depart
ment has done effective work.
1t is rare even in summer for a month
to pass without fire losses of more than
5000 or $4,000. During one entire week this
month there were but two or three alarms,
and for six days there was only one
alarm.
