VISITED HIS OLD HOME
M. q. Flynn Returns From Extended
Tour of the United States
and Canada.

M. G.. Flynn, a former Polk county
logger and now of the Benton County
Lumber Company. returned Friday
from his five weeks eastern trip. He
went via Union Pacific through Ogden
and Omaha to Chicago, thence to
Philadelphia where he visited a
brother, a professional draughtsman.
While there he and his niece visited
the National capitol, going through
all the big government buildings and
viewing other sights of interest. From
Philadelphia, he went to New York
and from there to Montreal and
Quebec; thence to Ottawa, where his
aged parents still reside, and to see
whom particularly, he made the long
transcontinental journey.
From Ottawa he took the Canadian
Pacific homeward bound. This part
of his trip through the great north
west was particularly delightful, as it
was spent in viewing the rolling
prairies of Manitoba, the picturesque
grandeur of the mountains, cut by
deep gorges and in almost every de-
preston a beautiful clear blue lake.
Mr.. Flynn states that there was some
thing new almost every minute.
Arriving at Vancouver, he visited
the capital of the island, Victoria,
and while crossing the Juan de Fuca
straits sailed into a school of whales,
being not more than SO yards from
one Of the largest. He says the water
was flying lively for awhile. The
whole trip occupied aboutthree weeks,
the weather being fine and everything
favorable for most pleasant trip.
This was Mr.. Flynn's first vacation
in six years, or since he and Mr..
Ewing started and developed the
great lumber company they now con-
trol.-Benton County Review.

Elizabeth Pollock to about forty Of
her young friends at the hospitable
home OF her parents, Tuesday evening.
The guests made their appearance in
ghostly garbs, and much amusement
was caused by their efforts to discover
each others identity. Later in the
evening this spooky raiment was dis
carded and merry social hour was
enjoyed. Delicious refreshments were
served.
Another merry social party was en-
joyed at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
George L. Hawkins on Wednesday
evening, when guests to the number
OF twenty met and held a Stick Party.
A pleasant hour was spent in popping
corn and telling ghost stories, followed
by an old-fashioned taffy pulling.
The students of Dallas College OBJ
served Halloween by playing games
and enjoying lunch Of apples,
doughnuts and cider.
At Falls City, Mr.. and Mrs. D. J.
Grant entertained a number of their
friends on Wednesday evening.
Games were played and several
musical numbers contributed to the

decorated with autumn leaves and
jack-o'- lanterns. Miss Halle Morri-
son assisted the hostess in receiving.

Dallas MIn ttave Strong Team.

The prospects for a good season of
basketball at Dallas College are very
promising this year. The team, under
the able management Of Walter
Critchlow and Captain Lloyd Launer,
is already getting into working
trim and expects to be able
to give o. A. g. a hard rub for
the championship. Morton, the only
man in Oregon that is able to hold
Swami down, will be in school, as will
also Ned Shaw, the crack center.
Orrie Arnold, one of last years
players, is recovering from a severe
illness and it is believed that he will
soon be in shape to play his usual
strong game. For forwards, Dallas
has Launer and Craven, both ex-
perienced players. Two games have
already been booked-one with the
Crescents Of Illinois and one with the
Salt Lake City team.

PEEPING TOM CAPTURED
Plucky Young Women Hold Up
PrOwIing Celestial at Point of
Revolver.

Toy Sing, a Chinese hop raiser
living south of town was arrested by
Marshal White, Sunday night, on
charge Of disorderly conduct. He
was taken before Police Judge Stouffer
where he pleaded guilty and was given
fine Of $40. The Chinaman has
been annoying the people of South
Dallas for several months by prowl-
ing around their houses and peeking
in at the windows at night, and so
offensive had his actions become
recently that several women were in a
state bordering on nervous collapse.
Sunday night he made his appear
ance at the home of John Lynn and
was proceeding to make himself dis
agreeably familiar when Miss Sadie
LYNN and Miss Wells, a neighbor
girl, decided to effect his capture.
Rushing upon him, they commanded
him to surrender. The Chinaman
gave no answer, but started to run. A
shot in the air from Miss Lynn's re-
volver brought him to a sudden halt,
and the thoroughly frightened offender
was held at bay until Marshal White
arrived and took him in charge.
It is not believed by those who know
the Chinaman best that he has meant
any harm by his queer behavior, and
it is the general opinion that he is
mentally unbalanced. His actions.
however, have been such as to cause
much alarm among the women of the
neighborhood, and it is hoped that
his arrest and punishment will have a
saIutary effect. While he has been
given his liberty, he will be closely
watched by the officers, and in case OF
a repetition of his offense, he will
doubtless be sent to the asylum or
prison, as the necessities Of his case
shall seem to require.

had been discoursing sweet music kept per

a different proposition faced the Judges
IN the next class, for the horses ranged all
the way from fifteen TO sixteen hands high
and we're judged on their suitability for
road work. Ability to get over tho road
counted for considerable in this class and
the judges had their hands full in deciding.
The parade was exciting and almost de-
veloped into a race led by Mr.. Kenyon's
Star. w II. McCOrd cut the corners and
beat the bunch in the race. Merry Mary
was given. the blue, Honor Bright the red
and Rajoh the yellow.
Park FOur-in-Hands.
The foIr-in-hand class was for the team
best suited for park purposes and the
colors Of the horses and the rigs them
selves were supposed to be quieter and less
nsshy than in the previous classes OF the
week, which have been mostly for road
work. There the most highly marked and

his little daughter Marjorie by his side.
for two of his more steady horses. Law
renee Jones won FIRST, w. II. MoCord Sec
ond and Crow and Murray third.
The class for the best woman rider is
one all like at horse show for what is
more graceful than a pretty woman hand
ling spirited horse. Miss Esther Byrne
was winner of this prize last year, but
has not been riding as much this summer.
Miss Helen Cudahy rode her Contralto
and showed she knew the horse, which re-
sponded to her every command Miss
Frances Nash rode the sprightly Lady
Babbie and gave a good exhibition Of horse
manship as the spirited creature fairly
danced TO the music Mrs. l.. f. Gro
foot rode her Gena, a horse which re-
quired skill to handle, although Mrs. Crow
foot was able to put her through the re-
auired gaits. Miss Helen Cudahy won the
blue Miss Frances Nash the red and Mrs.
Crowfoot the yellow.
Again did the women appear in the local
harness class, for the number required the
entries to be driven by a woman. Miss
Ruth Brandeis drove her fathers big black
team, Peacock and ChatteEbox, and showed
she was not afraid, although the team was
high spirited. Mrs, Joseph Barker, who
won the prize Tuesday night as the best
woman driver, drove A. c. Smiths chestnut
pair and Mrs. Ward NJ. Burgess drove
her Prairie Queen and Roseleaf. AS the
decision of the judges rested on the suit
ability Of the horses for women TO drive, the
judges had to take this Into consideration.
Mrs. Barker won first, Mrs. Ward M.
Burgess second and Miss Ruth Brandeis
third.
The Jumpers class last night depended
solely on the ability OF the horses to take
the high jumps. The bars were placed al
five feet, then Eve ana a half and then
raised three inches az a time until won.
Three trials were given the horses UP to
i've and one-half feet, and then FIVE trials
were given. The bars were not held, which
made the opposition harder. Pearl won
the honors By skimmng the bars at six
