Dismissed from Service.

Some time last April, Conductor
Berry and the freight engineer failed
to call at Whiteson for orders, while
enroute to Portland. Agent Brodie,
of Whiteson, desiring to protect the
conductor and engineer, telephoned
the orders to McMinnyille, and Mr..
Connoway and Mr.. Cogill Of this sta
ton delivered them upon arrival OF
the train. All five Of the boys have
been summarily dismissed from the
service for this apparent breach OF
railroad etiquette. Everybody feels
sympathy for the boys, and a petition
is being circulated asking the rail
road company to reinstaCe the boys
here. since their offense lay chiefly in
attempting to help friend out OF
trouble. Since Harry Connoway and
Charles Cogill have had charge OF
McMinnville station, there is a better
feeling between the railroad company
and the shippers than there has been
for some years. The boys are oblig-
ing and courteous, and we would all
dislike to see them deposed at this
time.-McMinnYille Reporter.

summer Normal at Monmouth.

The Oregon State Normal School
will conduct a summer school in Mon
mouth, beginning June 26 and con-
tinuing to August 4. While the chief
object is to prepare students for the
county and state examinations, the
instruction in each branch will in
clude some discussion of the methods
Of teaching in the public schools.
In addition to the subjects required
for county and state papers, classes
will be organized in other branches of
the regular Normal course, as re-
quired. Special attention will be
given to principals and teachers in
small high schools,
If desired, private individual in
stTuction will be given az reasonable
rates. This will accommodate those
who feel the need of more time than
is devoted to general class instruction
in six weeks term.
Private individual and class lessons
will also be given in the state course
in vocal music and drawing in voice
culture, piano, organ and harmony
and in violin and other string instru-
ments.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days, when
as somebody has said, men drop by
the sunstroke as if the Day of Fire
had dawned. They are fraught with
danger to people whose systems are
poorly sustained and this leads us to
say, in the interest of the less robust
our readers, that the full effect of
Hoods Sarsaparilla Is such as to sug-
gest the propriety Of calling this med
icine something besides blood puri-
fer and tonic, say, sustaining diet
1t makes it much easier to bear the
heat, assures refreshing sleep, and
will without any doubt avert much
sickness at this time of year.

HIS DAYS DONE
E. II. Hibbard Passes to Rest After
Long and Painful Illness,
Aged II Years.

Edgar H. Hubbard, prosperous
farmer and fruit raiser, died at his
home two miles south of Dallas, July
6, aged II years. He had been in
failing health for many years, and
had been confined to the house since
last November. He was stricken with
paralysis on the 23rd of last February,
and sank gradually until the end
came at 10 rs o'clock Thursday night.
Mr.. Hibbard was born in Rochester,
n. Y, January 30, 1884, and was the
youngest of family of ten children.
In 1845 he went to Minnesota and took
up a homestead near Clearwater,
Wright county, where he was joined
by his parents about year later. He
worked at the carpenter trade for two
or three years prior to the beginning
of the Civil War, and then went South
to join the army, He received an
injury which prevented him from
enlisting, however, and returned to
the North by means of the last boat
and last train that left Cairo, Illinois,
before the blockade.
After the death of his father, seven
years later, he returned to Minnesota
to care for his aged mother, and again
worked at his trade for a few years.
He was married in st. Cloud, Mimi,
April 16, 1870, to Miss Harriet Trafton,
of Lynnfield, Charlotte county, New
Brunswick. He owned a livery stable in
Clear Water for three years, but sold
it on account Of ill health and moved
to farm near Clear Lake, Sherburne
county. He came with his family to
Dallas, Oregon, in 1891, and lived here
until the time of his death.
He leaves a widow and six children
1.-TWO sons, Harry and Percy, of
Dallas and four daughters, Mrs. E. E.
Hoover, Of Roseburg, and Kate, Amy
and Hattie, of Dallas. One son and
one daughter died several years ago.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. James Moore, pastor Of the
Dallas M. E. Church, at the family
home, Saturday morning, alto o'clock,
and were largely attended. Burial
took place in the Odd Fellows ceme-
terry.
Mr.. Hibbard was an honorable and
industrious man, and enjoyed the
esteem and goodwill of his neighbors.
In his death, Polk county has lost one
of its best citizens, and the loss will be
keenly felt in the. community where
he had so long made his home.

BETTER LIGHT SERVICE
Power at Dallas Electric Light Sta
tiOn Will Be Doubled
Town Is Dark.

Extensive Improvements and repairs
are in progress at the Dallas electric
light station. A large amount Of new
machinery is being added, and the
plant will be thoroughly overhauled
and remodeled. The furnace room
has been enlarged and new SO-horse-
power boiler set up by the side of the
old 65-horse boiler. The 65-horse
engine has been taken out and a new
Improved Russell engine of 1870 horse
power will take its place. Work on
the concrete foundation for the big
engine is under way, and will be COM
pleted by Contractor Olin this week.
No new dynamos will be added to
the plant at this time, as the machines
already in use are amply large to meet
all present demands. The arc rcmachine
has capacity of several more lights
than are being operated, and the big
incandescent dynamo purchased a
few months ago is carrying only half
load. The principal drawback at
the station heretofore has been a lack
of power, and the indoor lighting
service, while better than that of many
towns, has not been entirely satisfac-
tory to either the patrons or the
company. With the new engine in
operation, ample power will be fur
nished for strictly first-class service.
The plant was shut down Monday to
permit the improvements being made,
and will not be started up again until
some time next week. Manager
Thompson regrets the inconvenience
caused the patrons of the company,
and says the work will be rushed to
completion as rapidly as possible.

Mountain Water for Corvallis.

By vote Of nearly three to one, the
citizens of Corvallis have decided to
bring mountain water into the city
for domestic and fire purposes. Rock
Greek will be the source Of supply,
and the pipeline will be 17l miles
long. The system will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. Forty fire
hydrants will be installed. Corvallis,
has only nine hydrants at present.
The result Of the election was a sweep
ing victory for the progressive ele-
ment in the city, and the people are
anxiously looking forward to the time
when they will no longer be obliged
to drink Willamette River water.

Goats TO Alaska.

The government is now trying the
experiment Of raising Angora goats
in Alaska. For Angoras, the govern
ment Of course would come to Polk
county, and this it did, After looking
the field over, the Angoras Of Polk
we're selected to start the breed In
Alaska, and the first shipment out OF
here was on Saturday. 1t consisted
of fifty head of goats and they were
billed through to Valdez, from which
point they will be driven 100 miles
inland. The goats were shipped by
George Boothby. If the experiment
proves successful, the Alaskan country
will be stocked up with goats.-Inde'

VIII Move SawmiII.

The Bryan-Lucas Company's big
sawmill in the mountains west of
Falls City is to be moved to the Carl
Peterson timber claim, two miles east
of its present location, and about
three-quarters of a mile west Of the
old Rowell mill OH Brown creek. A
large force of men began clearing
away the timber for the new millsite,
Wednesday, A new fume will be
built to connect with the present hume
at a point near the Boughey mill, and
the company will continue to float its
lumber to Falls City, where the large
planning mill is located. The COM
pany owns several hundred acres OF
choice timber within easy reach of the
new site, and it will not be necessary
to move the mill again for many
years. The greater part Of the tim
ber was purchased from John and
Albert Teal and can be easily floated
to the new mill by the aid Of flood
dam in Brown creek.

PAYING THE DEBT
DALLAS City Council Calls in Dallas
Water Bond for One ThOus-
and Dollars.

Although the debt was contracted
less than two years ago, the City o.
dallas has already begun paying of
the city water bonds. A bond for $1,000
was purchased from the holder. A. O
Condlt OF Salem, last week, and is now
IN the Auditors hands for canceIla.
tlon' The payment of this bond leaves
onlyfourteen bonds outstanding, none
OF which will be due until after &C
years from the date of their issue.
The payment of the bond at this
early date was made possible by the
city law which provides for the estab-
IlShment of sinking fund to pay the
city water debt The charter provides
that when 2O-year bonds are issued, at
least one-twentieth of the entire
amount of bonds must be collected
each year in addition to the sum levied
for interest charges. This principal
must be invested in gilt-edged securi-
ties or unincumbered real estate, or in
the purchase Of outstanding bonds of
the city.
Last year the council collected $7fO
on the principal and loaned it in two
amounts at and per cent interest,
respectively, This year another $3.50
was collected and has been lying in
the city treasury awaiting a desirable
investment. The council decided,
after due deliberation, to purchase one
of the outstanding water bonds if pos
sible, and thereby reduce the annual
tax levy for the water fund. The
owner of the bond was consulted, and
was induced to part with it for
the same small premium that he paid
for it, namely, $3.50
The purchase of this bond will make
material reduction in the amount of
water tax next year, and the portion Of
the principal collected at that time,
added to the balance now on hand
will enable the council to call in
another bond, if it shall so elect, and
still leave II neat balance on hand.
In providing for the payment of the
water bonds, two courses are open to
the city. 1t can call in a bond when
ever there is a sufficient amount of
money on hand, or it can leave the
bonds outstanding and compound the
interest on the sinking fund. By
pursuing the first-named course, the
water tax will rapidly decrease with
each succeeding year as the bonds are
called in, but it will be necessary to
levy a tax each year for practically
the entire 20 years. If the last-named
course is followed and the full amount
is levied each year and loaned at COM
pound interest, the debt will be paid
long before the expiration of the 90
year period. 1t will be seen at a
glance that each plan has its advan-
tages and disadvantages, but that in
either case the interest of the taxpayer
is carefully guarded. The Dallas
water debt was placed on practical,
business basis at the time it was con-
tracted, and the burden on the individ-
ual taxpayer will grow rapidly less
as property values increase and the
sinking fund aids in the payment Of
the bonds.

Regarding the proper pronunciation

Regarding the proper pronunciation
of chauffeur, the spoilers on the Trail
at the Portland fair have mastered it.
II you hear one of these hoarse-voiced
exposition followers shout, "Come
hyar, hyar, right hyar. Steninclose-
hyar an don't-will that fat man let
those six ladies take his place-don't
blockade the passage way. You can
20 clear down the Trail and hit 'er as
hard as you want, but this hyar is the
best show'fur-"show'fur." That pro-
nunciation is absolutely correct.

Money in Cherries.

A Royal Ann cherry tree twenty-six
years old and sixty feet high, at the
farm home Of B. Rasmussen, two and
half miles northeast of town, pro
duced this year 800 pounds of cherries.
Mr.. Rasmussen sold most of the fruit
at four cents a pound, realizing the
sum of $27.95 for what he sold. He
used the balance, which, at the price
quoted would have brought the value
Of the crop from this tree up to $32. 80.

During the races of the Albany
Driving Association last week, Mrs.
Clarence Ireland of Corvallis, was
seriously injured and a valuable
horse killed, as the result of a run
away. Mrs. Ireland was standing
upright in her buggy watching a race,
when her horse became frightened
and began Plunging, throwing
her out. The horse then dashed for
ward against a dray team the buggy
shaft striking one of the horses
h1tched to the dray, piercing its side.
The animal died as result of its in
juries.
The Albany Herald, speaking of
the recent race meeting in that city,
says: "The races were called promptly
at 2 o'clock by w. w. Perclval Of
Independence, president Of the Inde-
pendence Driving Association, Mr.,
Percival started the races, with the
ability and fairness Of years Of exper-
ience, and received many compliments
for his good work in this trying and
important position"
Every one taking part in the pro-
gram in Salem on the Fourth was
either in the newspaper business or
connected with it. Mrs. Minnie De
Long-Wells is a typo. Darcy and
Davy and Manning, the orators
Averill, who gave the recitation, and
Snyder, who sang, are all newspaper
men. No wonder the celebration was
a success.-Capital Journal.
