DALE WINS HIS SUIT
Jury Decides He Is Entitled to Wages
tor Labor Performed for Burk-
hard YOungable.

Burkhard Youngable, an eccentric
farmer of the Luckiamute country,
will probably be in no particular
hurry to make any more wills in
favor of his hired men-at least
while the memory Of his recent
experience in County Judge Coad's
court is fresh in his mind. Mr..
Youngable, better known as Brigham
Young" was sued last week by
Nesmith Dale for the recovery Of
wages alleged to be due, and at the
conclusion OF the trial, Monday after
noon, he found the score Of 800 and
costs chalked up against him on the
Judges big book. The case was tried
before special jury, the members Of
which were J. J. Williams, U. s.
Loughary, W. q. Vassall. j. j. Wise
man, D. J. Riley and I. 7. Notson.
The evidence went to show that Dale
went to work for Brigham last October
and received pay for most Of his work.
In February last, Brigham made a
will in favor Of Dale, and, as he put
it, Dale was to "work for the will. "
The agreement was that Dale and his
wife should live on the place with
Brigham, and that Dale should do
the farm work and his wife keep the
house. Everything went on peaceably
under the arrangement until August
l, when Dale left the place, claiming
that Brigham had discharged him.
Brigham denied this, contending that
Dale had abandoned his contract
Dale then brought suit for the work
he had performed.
The hearing Of the case occupied
the greater part of the afternoon, anc
was attended by quite a crowd O.
interested spectators. At the con
clusion of the examination OF wit
nesses, the jury retired and soor
brought in q verdict for Dale for $l0O
and costs and disbursements. Th'
costs will amount to about $40.

SAVE THE SHADE TREES
Dallas Citizen Protests Against OrdI-
nance Now Before City
Council.

DALLAS, Or, Aug. 29-(To the
Editor. lin looking over the pro-
ceedings Of the last meeting Of the
city council, noticed this item sOn
motion OF VanOrsdel, the City Attorney
was requested to prepare an ordinance
providing for the cutting down Of all
shade trees in the streets where they
interfere with the wiring to the height
Of 20 feet"
If this proposed ordinance should
pass and the electric light and tele-
phone companies, in whose interests
it is evidently offered, should exercise
the privilege which it grants them, 1t
would mean the mutilation or de-
struction Of every shade tree Of any
consequence in Dallas, for the lines
OF the various companies now occupy
each side of every improved street in
the town.
OF course, we all recognize the con-
venience and necessity Of these modern
utilities, but what we should consider
is, can we afford to allow the beauty
Of the town and valuable trees, some
which have required from so to 40
years to reach their present state OF
perfection, to be destroyed when it is
not necessary, just for the sake Of
making a little less work and expense
for the companies who maintain lines
under free franchise in the city9
The Pacific States Telephone Com
pany some time ago expressed will
| ingness to carry their wires through
the tops Of the large trees in cables,
and, in some cases, have made prepar-
ations for doing so, but if this proposed
ordinance should pass, the company
will no doubt exercise its privilege
and get busy with an axe.
We have heard considerable talk in
the last year or two about beautifying
the town, civic improvement, etc, and
the council has set aside certain
amount of ground on each side OF the
various streets for park strips. Many
, people have improved these strips,
planted trees and made lawns, until il
: is the universal exclamation OF visit
: ing strangers, "What beautifultown
you have"
To those who take no pride in theil
/: homes and to those who own no prop
/ erty in the town, except trading
!. property, and whose interests are
: based only on dollars and cents, this
!, question Of preserving the shade trees
' may be a matter of small moment
!, but to those who do take pride in theil
!. homes and have helped beautify the
!, town by spending both time ant
!. money in improving their property, !
:, is matter of deep concern.

Milking Machines.

The dairy operators of the North
west will have an opportunity to wit
ness one of the latest applications for
milking mechanically" in operation
daily in connection with the Dairy
exhibit during Oregon State Fair
week Sept. 1918. This is certainly a
wonderful machine, the working Of
which is perfect, the lacteal fluid be
ing extracted gently, speedily, and
thoroughly, therefore removing
great amount of drudgery in con
nection with this very profitable
adjunct of our growing agriculture
district. The dairy section of the Fai
has outgrown its building and addi
tional space will be provided.

We are pleased TO note that the sum-
mer session of the State Normal
School at Monmouth, which will close
in another week, has been very sue
cessful. The enrolment has reached
100, and many Of the eminent edu-
Gators of the state have taken part in
the work.
The coming regular session, which
opens September 26, promises very
large increase in the enrolment
With the added apparatus and new
material for the various departments
and the renovation of the entire build
ings, the school has most promising
outlook. The demand for the gradu'
ates Of the Monmouth Normal Is ex-
tending beyond the borders Of the
state.

WILL ADD TENTH GRADE
Dallas School Patrons Vote Necessary
Tax Senator LOughary Chosen
for Director.

Supporting their public school with
the same loyalty and enthusiasm that
marks their encouragement Of every
other worthy institution, the citizens
of Dallas met on Monday afternoon
and, without a single dissenting voice,
voted the tax needed in furnishing a
room and employing teacher for the
newly-established Tenth Grade. A
goodly number of voters were present,
considering the busy season of the
year, and the best of feeling char
acterized the proceedings Of the
meeting.
DI. B. H. McCallon, chairman OF
the Board of Directors, presided over
the meeting, and Fl. G. Campbell was
at the secretary's desk. When the
chairman announced that one Of the
purposes of the meeting was to elect a
director to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Director I. N.
Woods, the name of Senator q. s.
Loughary was placed before the meet
ing by H. L. Fenton. There being nc
further nominations, the secretary
proceeded, upon motion of G. l.
Hawkins, to cast the ballot for Mr.
Loughary.
Chairman McCallon then called
attention to the vote of the taxpayers
at the June school meeting, by which
vote the directors were authorized tt
add the Tenth Grade to the presen
course of study. He explained tina
the members Of the board were ready
to proceed in accordance with the ex
pressed wish of the taxpayers, but ttha
before taking any steps toward estab
fishing the desired grade, it would b'
necessary to vote a small tax for tn
purpose Of furnishing a room anC
paying the salary of an additiona
teacher. He was Of the opinion tha
a levy of one mill on the taxabl
property of the district would b
sufficient for all purposes, but that
might be possible that slight,
greater tax would be needed. Afte
giving the matter due consideration
the taxpayers decided to authorize tn
, board to levy a tax not to exceed tw
mills for the purposes named. Tn
counting of the ballot disclosed tn
r fact that not a single vote had bee
5 recorded against the tax, and tn
announcement of the result was RI
{ ceived with much enthusiasm.
e The election of Senator Loughary
a place on the school board will /
d highly satisfactory to the patrons
f the district. He is progressiN
business man and a loyal friend
i educational institutions. The ne
o board, consisting Of DR.. McCallol
G. G. Coad and U. S. Loughary, ma
e be safely counted upon to give tt
Q affairs of the district capable an
# conscientious administration, an
S with the hearty cooperation OF Pril
n cipal w. 1. Reynolds and his alb
IS assistants, to make the Dallas publ
school stronger and more useful
a every department than ever before.

WILL SEE MODEL ROAD
Visitors to State Fair VIII Be Inter-
ested in Road Built by
Government Experts.

Visitors at the Oregon State Fair
during the week Sept 1919 will not
only find the various lines OF agri-
cultural, horticulture, mechanical and
fine arts exhibits of interest, but also
a demonstration of the leading topics
in all our rural districts at this time,
namely "good roads," Just outside
of the north fence line of the State
Fair grounds can be seen from begin
ming to end the building of modern
highway. The United States govern
ment road experts are at work upon a
mile of experimental road.
This piece of work is we'll under way
and a quarter of mile is now ready
for use. The plan is first a systematic
grading and drainage which is thor
oughly done, then a 5-inch coating o.
coarse crushed rock thoroughly rolled
when wet and the final coating OF 1nel
crushed rock sprinkled and rolled
until the print of a team and wagoI
cannot be noticed after having passed
over the finished surface. This featur'
alone is worthy Of trip to the Fair

BERRIES scarce-Bears PIentifuI.

The Newbill brothers. Of Mill Creek,
killed three large black bears on their
farm last week. One Of the animals
came into the orchard and was chased
up a plum tree by the dogs. Several
persons in Dallas reported having
seen a bear on the hill north OF town
last Friday, but when Sheriff Grant,
Joe Craven, and other local hunters
repaired to the scene, no trace OF the
animal could be found. Farmers
living in the foothills report bears
unusually plentiful this year. George
Conlee, who has had much experience
as a woodsman, says the animals
have been driven out Of the mountainf
by hunger, there being a scarcity o.
lbuckleberries and salal berries TINS
