DALLAS KNIGHTS WIN.
rIany Knights Attend the Contest Be-
tween MarmlOn and Homer
Lodges Monday Night.

The contest between the degree
teams of Homer Lodge, No. 40,
Knights of Pythias, and Marmlon
Lodge, No. SO, of the same order, held
in Dallas. Monday night, was won by
Marmion Lodge. By winning this
contest, the Dallas team will have the
honor of representing Polk county in
the district contest to be held in Salem
on February 27, and also secures for
Marmion Lodge the handsome ivory
gavel, awarded as prize by District
Deputy David Calbreath, OF Inde-
pendence. A large number Of visiting
Knights were present from Inde-
pendence, Falls City, McMinnville,
and other valley towns, and a pleasant
evening was spent by all
The Independence visitors came by
special train, and we're met at the
depot by a reception committee and
escorted in a body to the Woodman
BALL, where the contest was held. The
visitors from Falls City and McMinn-
vile came on the regular evening
trains.
Two candidates, J. @. Uglow, OF
Dallas, and Sam Damon, of Inde-
pendence, were initiated into the
mysteries Of the Knight rank. Each
lodge initiated its own candidate, and
the contest was decided upon the COIN
parative excellence Of the work Of the
respective teams. The judges were
G. D. Gabrielson, Of Salem, and
Frank Adams and Dave Doty, of Nc
Minnville. The teams were very
evenly matched, and the judges found
it no easy task to arrive at decision.
When the result Of the contest was
announced, the members OF the
victorious team we're warmly con-
graduated by the members Of Homer
Lodge and other visiting brethren.
After the contest, refreshments we're
served in the lodge dining room. A
social session was then held in the
lodge room, and for an hour the
Knights were entertained by recita-
tions, songs and stories. David Cal
breath made neat speech in present
ing the ivory gavel to Marmion
Lodge, and the response by Chancellor
Commander H. L. Toney was highly
appropriate. Short talks were also
given by @. D. Gabrielson, J. T. Ford
and others.
A delegation from the McMinnville
company of Uniform Rank, headed
by Colonel Frank Mead of the Briga-
dier-General's staff, were present in
full uniform. Colonel Mead gave an
interesting talk on "The Uniform
Rank" and urged the formation Of a
Polk county company.
The members of Marmion Lodge
are highly pleased with the unexpected
honors won, and are deeply grateful
to Mr.. CaIbreath for the beautiful
present. The team will strive 70 the
utmost to give a good account Of
itself at the Salem contest. Marmion
Lodge is one Of the youngest X. Of P.
lodges in the state, but is making a
healthy growth and has already
established itself as one Of the perma-
nent organizations Of Dallas.

names in the visitors register Of the

COLUMBIA AND
ANGELO ARE
BOUGHT
By the DunWody.Aiken Towhoat
Company and Will Be Used
Here.

The big steamer Columbia, owned
by the Florida & Alabama Land Com
pany. and the steamer Angelo, owned
by the Brent Mill Company, have
been purchased from those companies
by the Dunwoody!Aiken Towboat Co.,
which added to the tugs and steamers
now owned by this firm, gives it the
largest fleet Of towboats of any com
pany on the gulf coast. Both YES
sells will continue to be used in har-
Dor work and in towing for the mills
around Pensacola.
The Columbia was owned by the w
B. Wright Co., until that company
went into the Florida and Alabama
Land Company, selling its mill, and
acquiring the Brent mill property In
asmuch as the Brent mills had no
further use for the Angelo she was
disposed of to the towboat company.
It is understood that a contract has
been entered into between the Tow
boat Company and the Florida and
Alabama Land Company, whereby the
former Is to do all of the towing for
the mill for long period Of years.

BRYAN AGREES WITH
ROOSEVELT ABOUT FORTUNES

New York, Aug. 3.-The Herald
says:
William J. Bryan has taken stand
with President Roosevelt in favor of
the limitation of individual fortunes.
He indicated this in a letter which
was received today by VIM. Hoge.
one of the prime movers in the Bryan
reception. The letter, which was
written on July 81, from the Lakes of
Killarney, contained a eulogy Of
Mayor Tom Johnson, of Cleveland,
and in part was as follows:
"Mr. Johnson is unique figure.
He stopped money-making in the
very prime of life and, at great Pc
cuniary sacrifice, gave himself I'M
reservedly to public affairs. In face
of all the abuse that intrenched
wrongdoers could heap upon him he
has been performing a great civic
duty, and 1 am hoping that his splen-
did example will inspire many other
wealthy men to put limit to their
accumulations and devote their lives
to the welfare of their fellows"
