ROYAL GETS THE CONTRACT
Will Build Bridge Across YamhilI
River on New Grand ROnde
Road.

@, F. Royal & Son, of Salem, will
build the bridge across the Yamhill
river, on the new Grand Ronde wagon
road, for $657.S0. The contract was
awarded this firm at an adjourned
session of the County Commissioners
Court last Friday morning. Two
other bids were received for the work,
as follows: R. NJ. Gilbert, of Cor
wallis, 1892 J, B. Teal, of Falls City,
$696,S0.
That the new road around the Grand
Ronde hill is greatly desired by the
people living in the northwestern por-
tion of the county is evidenced by the
fact that the property-owners along
the route have decided a right-of-way
to the county free of cost, and have
further agreed to build the road at
their own expense, only asking that
the county construct the bridge across
the Yamhill river The application
for permission to build the road was
signed by Lee Rowell and others, and
the property-owners deciding the
right-of-way are J. S Pettyiohn,
Glenn Butler, Frank Norwest and
Mrs, Jane Brown. Work on the new
road will be commenced at once.

MOVE FOR FREE LIBRARY
Dallas Citizens Will Meet to Discuss
Plans Next Wednesday Evening.

Dallas can have a public library,
if her citizens SO desire. This good
news comes from Miss Cornelia
Marvin, the superintendent of libra
ries, recently appointed by the Oregon
Library Commission. Miss Marvin
was in town Wednesday and explained
the plan thoroughly to Mrs. George T.
Gerlinger, who has been taking an
active interest in securing a public
library for Dallas.
The plan contemplates a travelling
library" the books to be changed
every six months. The library would
be under the control of local library
board of six members, appointed by
the Mayor This board would appoint
a City Librarian and establish rules
for the management of the library.
To secure the cooperation of the
citizens generally, volunteer associ-
alton would be formed to work in
conjunction with the board.
Mrs. Gerlinger is working earnestly
to secure the library, and is meeting
with much encouragement from the
city authorities, business men, officers
of the school boards, and members of
the churches and fraternal societies.
A meeting of citizens will be held in
the Firemen's Hall next Wednesday
evening to discuss plans for carrying
the work to a successful conclusion.
Mayor Biddle will preside over the
meeting, and large attendance is
expected.
Miss Marvin, who has had many
years of experience in library work in
Wisconsin, classes Dallas with ten
leading Oregon towns that are entitled
to. and should have, public Libraries.
She is confident that a library, once
established here, would be we'll sup
ported. Mrs. Gerlinger has been
deeply interested in securing a public
library during her years stay in
Dallas, and as soon as she learned of
the plans proposed by the State Com
mission for placing books in the
more prominent towns of Oregon,
opened a correspondence with Miss
Marvin and prevailed upon her to
come and look over the situation.
Mrs. Gerlinger will endeavor to enlist
the aid of the women of Dallas in
the movement, as substantial |
support has already been pledged by
the business men if some one will
only get the project under way. 1t is
hoped that the meeting Dext Wednes-
day evening will be attended by every |
man and woman interested in the
moral and intellectual advancement
Of the people of Dallas.

The Baker City Maverick tells of an
itinerant advertising CRATER who
drifted into Baker City and buncoed a
large number of business men, in
Guiding the proprietor Of the Geiser
Grand hotel, the latter feeding and
housing the stranger for $40 worth.
Baker City has four excellent news
papers that reach the eyes Of thousands
of readers, and yet there are many
merchants in the town who cannot be
induced to patronize the advertising
columns of their home papers, but
prefer to spend their money with some
travelling faker who is working an
advertising program, time table, or
some other time worn and weather
stained graft. Merchants who would
not think of spending dollar with
the local newspapers that pay out
thousands of dollars annually in
Baker City for wages and office ex-
penses, readily fell into the clutches
of the travelling dead-beat and helped
line his pockets by buying advertising
space in his program at ten times the
price that would be asked by local
publishers for the same space in their
papers. Happily, the business men
of most Oregon towns are awaking
to the fact that money spent with these
"Wandering Willies'' is money worse
than wasted, and when a smooth
tongued individual comes along and
offers them space on dozen bum
hotel cards at ten dollars an inch, he
is told to brush by. The Maverick
says that the suckers who bit at the
red-fannel bait in Baker City are re-
ceiving little sympathy, and adds
that, hereafter, when they feel in
clined to advertise, they will probably
select some reputable and legitimate
advertising medium, and thus obtain
"value received" for their coin.

MONMOUTH SCHOOL TO OPEN
Oregon State Normal Has Arranged
for Funds with Which to
Carry On Its Work.

The Oregon State Normal School at
Monmouth will continue as though
the appropriation asked for at the last
session of the Legislature had been
granted, says Monmouth correspond
ent in Sundays Oregonian The lack
of appropriation must, of course, in
convenience somebody, but it has not
given rise to the question as to wheth-
er or not the school would continue.
AS soon as the petitions for referen-
dun on House bill 373 were filed, the
Board of Trustees set about to find a
way of meeting the maintenance bills
of the school. Local capital offered to
advance 80 per cent on salary claims,
the certificate of Indebtedness to be
held as collateral and further secured
with the personal note of the claimant
This offer was accepted and under
these provisions the Board has been
able to retain all the old faculty. The
Board is not required to assume any
personal responsibility. Whatever
inconvenience the referendum entails
on the school is borne by the teaches.
The expenses of the last two months
of the past year were met under the
Boards arrangement for funds and
all of next years expenses are to be
met in the same manner. OF the
teachers salaries, 20 per cent is held
back and the teachers sign IL note for
the money advanced.
The salary account runs about $115O
per month. Tuition fees furnish
sufficient funds for necessary sup
plies. The Monmouth school charges
tuition fee of 1875 a year, and based
on present prospects, about $4,000
should be collected from that source
the coming year.

The Dalles was visited by $4,000
fire, Saturday. Dispatches to the
Portland papers say that the fire de-
partment was badly handicapped in
securing water from the hydrants
which were in poor condition, owing
to their not having been used for a
long time, this being the first time
they have been needed for several
months. There IS lesson in this
misfortune for all towns having
waterworks. BY making frequent
tests of fire hydrants. to make sure
that they are in working order, serious
losses are often averted when a fire
occurs. This is a duty that should
not be neglected by the fire depart
ment of Dallas.
