morning, after pleasant visit at the
home of their parents, Judge and
Mrs. J. L. Collins. They were accom-
panied by their sister, Louise, who

The item in last weeks paper saying
that the Dallas cheese factory paid 25
cents for July butter-fat should have
read "June" butterfat. The mistake
was not noticed until the paper was
off the press. Manager Mcintyre in
forms us that it is probable that the
July fat will bring the farmers still
higher figure.

Frank A. Knox, prominent stock
man of Fossil, Oregon, visited in
Dallas several days last week as the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Muir.
Mr.. Knox attended La Creole Academy
"a years ago, when his uncle, M. M.
Oglesby, was principal. So many
changes have taken place in Dallas
since his last visit that he hardly
knew the town.
The new steam laundry is in oper-
alton and orders for work are pouring
in at lively rate. Manager De-
Haven thoroughly understands his
business, and is determined to make
the enterprise successful. Following
their motto, "Build up Dallas by
patronizing Dallas business men, the
people will cease sending their laundry
to other towns and patronize the home
concern.
Rumors are again in circulation
that the Southern Pacific Company
intends to change its Fourth street
line in Portland to an electric road
and run all West Side trains into the
city over new road to be constructed
between Hillsboro and Milwaukee,

Rock. Conductor Crocker informs us
that large crew Of the company's
engineers are now encamped at
Bryant, three miles west Of Oswego.
Hon. W. @. Brown, Hugh Hayes,
Clarence Shultz and Lloyd Launer
arrived home Monday from 20 days
outing at Kitson Springs, in Lane
county. They feasted on fish and
game during their entire stay and
greatly enjoyed the outing. Mr..
Shultz comes home greatly improved
in health, the water Of the springs
and the fine mountain air having
worked wonders in relieving him from
long and painful siege of sciatic
rheumatism.
