In spite of the fact that enormous
crowds gathered at Smiths park yester-
day, the occasion being Barnum &c
Baileys circus, no report was received
at police headquarters of any crime
To cooperate with the corps of fifteen
Pinferton detectives which accompany the
circus, Chief Wier yesterday detailed
eight men to assist them. These officers
and plain clothes men moved freely among
the crowd and while nothing was over
looted, nothing that smacked of a con-
fidence expert came under observation.
There was ~ total absence of the pick
pocket.
The chief of the detectives employed
by the circus management is the well
known w. F. Mckenzie. Immediately
after the performance last night Chief
Mckenzie called at local police headquar-
ters and thanked Chief Wier for aiding
him. lie then escorted his men to the
station and went aboard an Alabama
Great Southern train for the next stop
which the circus will make.

catarrh to such an extent that she
could scarcely do her own work. In

Free Library Notes.

The Dallas Free Library has many
patrons who keep the reading table
well supplied with fresh magazines.
This kindness is highly appreciated.
Thirty-six new books were added to
the library shelves this week. A list
of the titles will be published next
week.
Now that the many well-kept gardens
of Dallas are full of beautiful flowers,
wouldn't it be a nice thing for the
ladies to keep the library supplied
with big boquets every day? The
bright flowers would add greatly to
the cheer of the room and make it
more attractive to the many strangers
and townspeople who daily patronize
the reading room.

An Enjoyable Play.

A more thoroughly enjoyable play
than Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage
Patch" has never been given by home
talent in Dallas. The young people
Of the Presbyterian church played
this delightful little comedy to a
crowded house at the Woodman Hall,
Friday night. The characters were
we'll sustained and the costumes were
appropriate. Mrs. d. J. Becker who
played the part of Mrs. Wiggs gave
a highly pleasing personation of the
character, and the excellent work of
the young people in the cast gave
evidence Of careful training at her
hands. The boys and girls will clear
about $50 for their society from the
proceeds of the play.

The sad news comes from Vale. Ore
gon, that Winnie Scott, a prominent
stockman Of Malheur county, died Of
heart disease at his home near Beulah
on Thursday, May 81. No word has
been received in Dallas from his
relatives. and the only particulars
obtainable are found in meager ac-
count of his death published in the
Vale Oriano. That paper says;
"Universal sadness prevails through
out the entire country from the sudden
death of M. w. Scott, which occurred
at Beulah, Thursday evening, May
81. The particulars as we learn them
are that after riding all day after
stock, he dropped dead from heart
disease soon after reaching home. He
was native of Oregon, and was A
years old.
each individual feels this as a
personal loss. Everyone knew him.
Everyone knew his kind, upright,
manly nature. Everyone loved the
man as a warm personal friend"
Winnie Scott was a son of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. John Scott, honored
pioneers Of Polk county. His boy
hood days were spent in and around
Dallas and on his fathers farm. He
attended school at LaCreole Academy,
where he was a leader in athletic
sports and games, and was popular
among his schoolmates. When he
reached the age of manhood, he went
to Eastern Oregon and engaged in

Now, that the big appropriation bill
has been approved by the people, the
state will be obliged to pay the
amounts held up by the referendum,
and possibly $4,000 or $4,000 for
interest charges besides. The four
Normal schools, which were the
especial object of attack, are as strong,
and possibly stronger, than they were
before, for the reason that many peo-
pie will look upon the vote as an en-
dorsement of the Normal school system
Of Oregon. For the present state of
affairs, we have the Governors failure
Of courage and the blind and un-
reasoning prejudice of little bunch
of Yamhill county citizens to blame.
While warned on all sides that they
were putting the cart before the horse
in invoking the referendum instead
of the initiative on the Normal school
question, these foes of the Normal
schools we're deaf to reason and went
stubbornly ahead with their referen-
dun petitions and soon secured the
small number Of signatures necessary
to hold up the bill. Had they called
the initiative to their aid and let the
appropriation bill alone, as they were
advised to do, some beneficial results
might have been obtained. There is
little doubt that bill abolishing two,
or even three, of the Normal schools
in the state would have carried in the
recent election by an overwhelming
majority.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1906-06-15

If the report is true that Washington
is to escape the 25 per cent raise in in
surance rates to which Oregon is
forced to submit, the next Oregon
Legislature already has some i'm
portant work laid out for itself. The
people of this state have tolerated the
arbitrary methods Of the Board Of
Underwriters long and patiently, and
the insurance companies have handled
past Legislatures as they pleased.
Whether the recent report of faYoritism
is true or not, it is time for the Legis-
lature to wake up and place restrain
ing hand on the methods of the
underwriters. The bill to prevent
combinations among insurance com
panies was about the only decent bill
introduced in the last Legislature,
and 1t was quietly put to sleep by that
corporations controlled body. Small
wonder that the insurance trust looks
upon the people Of Oregon as "easy
marks" Tt is to be hoped, however,
that the next Legislature will arise to
the emergency, and force the insur-
ance companies to deal fairly with the
people of the state.
