When at last they drew up before
the dark archway OF Middle Temple
lane he descended hastily, and as he
mechanically turned to protect Ewes
dress from the wheel he looked at her
fully for the first time since their en-
terprise had been undertaken. As he
looked he felt his heart sink. He had
expected TO see the marks of suffering
on her face. but the expression he saw
suggested something more than mere
mental pain.
All the rich color that usually deep
ened and softened the charm Of her
beauty had been erased as If by
long Illness, and against the new pal
lor Of her skin her blue eyes. her
black hair and eyebrows seemed
startlingly dark. A chill colder than
remorse. a chill that bordered upon
actual fear. touched Ioder In that
moment With the first impulsive
gesture he had allowed himself, he
touched her arm.
Eve he began unsteadily. Then
the word died Off his lips.
without a sound. almost without q
movement, she returned his glance, and
something in her eyes checked what he
might have said. In that one express
i've look he understood all she had de-
sired. all she had renounced-the full
extent of the ordeal she had consented
to and the motive that had compelled
her consent. He drew back with the
heavy sense that repentance and pity
were equally INTELLECTUALLY out Of
place.
Still in silence. she stepped to the
pavement and stood aside while Loder
dismissed the cab To both there was
something symbolic. something prophet
ic, in the dismissal. without intention
and almost unconsCiously they drew
closer together as the horse turned, its
hoofs Gathering on the roadway, its
harness tingling. and. still without real
ization. they looked after the vehicle as
it moved away down the long, shadow
ell thoroughfare toward the lights and
the crowds that they had left. At last
involuntarily they turned toward each
other.
Come" Ioder said abruptly. "It's
only across the road
Fleet street Is generally very quiet
once midnight Is passed. and Eve had
10 need of guidance or protection as
they crossed the pavement. shining like
ice in the lamplight. They crossed it
slowly. walking apart for the dread Of
physical contact that had possessed
them in the cab seemed to have fallen
on them again.
Inconsistencies has little place in the
region Of the city, and they gained the
opposite footpath unnoticed by the cas-
nal passerby. Then. still holding apart,
they reached and entered Clifford's inn.
Inside the entrance they paused, and
Eve shivered invountarily. How
gray It is" she said family. And how
cold Like a graveyard
Loder turned to her. For one mo-
ment control seemed shaken. His blood
surged, his vision clouded. The sense
that life and love were still within his
reach filed him Overwhelmingly. He
turned toward Eve: he half extended
his hands. Then, stirred by what i'm
pulse, moved-by what instinct. it was
impossible to say, he let them drop to
his sides again.
Come" he said. Come! This is the
way. Keep close TO me. Put your
hand on my arm

CITY BUYS STEAM ROLLER
Council Closes Deal For TweIve-TOn
Machine to Be Used in Making
Good Streets.

The city council recently purchased
first-class rock crusher, and at a
special meeting yesterday morning
placed an order for a 12-ton steam
roller. The two machines are expected
to arrive on tonight's freight train.
The big roller is known as the
Oasler roller, and is one Of the best
machines Of its class. 1t is a second
hand machine, but is in perfect
repair. Councilman Coad and Sibley,
who went to Portland, Saturday, to
negotiate for the purchase of the
roller, took Ed Biddle, an expert
machinist, to examine it, and after
Mr.. Biddle had completed his inspec-
tion and pronounced the machine as
good as new, the purchase was made.
The original price Of the roller was
$350O, but the council succeeded in
buying it for $17OO, thus saving the
neat sum OF $500 to the taxpayers Of
the city.
Immediately upon the arrival of the
crusher in Dallas, it will be taken to
the city rock quarry on the Boise
farm, where everything has been
made ready for its installation. The
rock bins, in which the various sizes
Of crushed rock will be stored, were
completed several days ago, and
nothing remains to be done but the
placing of the crusher in position for
work.
1t is the intention of the council to
do as much work on the streets this
winter as the weather will permit, and
then begin a general Improvement of
the city thoroughfares early in the
spring. The officials only regret that
the crusher did not arrive in time to
permit them to do large amount of
improvement during the fine weather
Of September and October, but in the
face of the rush of orders in the
factories and the freight congestion
on the railroads, they consider them
selves fortunate in receiving the
machine even this late in the Fall.
The first street work will be the
improvement of the east end of Court
street, where the grade has been made
ready for the rock. No pains will be
spared to make this model street,
and it is believed that after the COM
pletion of this work, there will be a
general demand from the property
owners for the improvement of every
street in the city, including the pave
ment of a goodly portion of the prin-
cipal business thoroughfares.

PIONEER WOMAN DIES
Mrs. Sidney A. Burnett, Mother of
Judge Burnett, Dies in
Albany.

Mrs. Sidney A. Burnett died at her
home in Albany, Saturday, of senile
exhaustion, at the age of 80 years and
months.
Mrs. Burnett, whose maiden name
was Sidney A. Younger was born in
Kentucky, February 25, 1917. In
childhood she emigrated to Missouri
with her parents and was married
there to George W. Burnett, November
10, 1881. In 1916 she and her husband
crossed the plains to Oregon with their
family, then consisting of four little
girls. After spending a year in
Washington county, they settled in
Yamhlll county, near McMinnville.
Her husband died there on Christmas
day, 1877. Mrs. Burnett continued to
reside there until about four years
ago, when she moved to Albany.
She-was the mother of seven children,
three of whom survive her: Mrs.
Anna M. Martin, of Rochester, N. Y;
Mrs. Emily J. Smelling, of Albany,
and George FL. Burnett, Of Salem.
She was deeply religious woman
and was affiliated with the Baptist
church. The remains were taken to
McMinnville and inferred in the family
lot in the Masonic cemetery.

SUE FOR CONTRACT PRICE
KrebS Bros. Claim 10000 Damages
for Alleged NOn-PerfOrmance
of Contract.

A suit was begun Friday in the first
department of the State Circuit Court
for Marion county by Krebs Bros.
against the firm of T. A. Livesley &
Co., both hopgrowers and dealers, ask
ing for a judgment of damages in the
sum of $4,000 for failure to take in a
contract for 100000 pounds of the
1907 growth Of hops at IA cents per
pound.
This is the same lot that was sold to
the highest bidder by Krebs Bros. at
Independence last week, which was
knocked down to Donald Mccarthy, a
hop dealer of this city, at "a cents per
pound. The contract held with T. A.
Livesley & Co. for term of four years
was repudiated by that firm before or
during the harvest season, and Krebs
Bros. sue to collect the difference in
the price of the contract and that for
which the hops were sold.

1000 MARK
Observer Completes Count and Finds
1000 People Living in Thriving
City of Dallas.

Dallas population has passed the
1000 mark. From town of 1871 people
in the year 1900, Polk county's seat
has grown to be thriving commercial
and manufacturing center Of 2O9O
souls. The latter figures have been
reached by the OBSERVERS house-to-
house count, completed late yesterday
afternoon. The result is highly graft
flying to the paper, and cannot prove
otherwise to all who are interested in
Dallas growth and prosperity. While
few guesses on the outcome of the
count have ranged higher, they were
but mere guesses after all, and we
think that no person who will make a
careful study of the following figures
will have room to doubt the accuracy
of the enumeration.
In reaching the total of 2O9O, no
people outside the city limits were
counted save those who may be
properly classed as suburban resi-
dents. Taking the courthouse as
starting point, our enumerator covered
the following territory; North to the
Chapman prune orchard East to the
Clifford farm; South to the Hibbard
orchard, and West to the city reservoir.
The property embraced in this area is
all strictly city or suburban, none of
the aforementioned being more than
a quarter Of mile outside the city
limits.
The count was not made by wards,
as time was valuable and the enumer-
ator was instructed to cover the city
as quickly as possible, only taking
care to miss no residence, business
house or factory. A hasty examination

Pleasant Surprise.

Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde Beckett, who
live on the Wallace road, were given
a very pleasant surprise party on the
evening Of Saturday, October 10, the
occasion being the goth anniversary
of their wedding day. The affair par
took somewhat of the nature OF a
"housewarming" this being their first
year in their beautiful new house.
Miss Nellie Taylor superintended the
serving Of a delicious lunch, each
lady having brought a basket. About
40 friends and neighbors were present.

Has Fine Scenery.

''The Cow-Puncher" which opens at
Woodman Hall on Wednesday, October
80, is not only one Of the finest scenic
productions of the road, but has the
largest piece Of scenery ever seen on
local stage. There is a cyclorama
drop 10 feet long and 80 feet high,
which encircles the entire stage,
excepting the opening at the foot
lights. All the remainder of the
scenery sets inside of this gigantic
drop. 1t shows the cactus covered
plains and the Santa Cruz River
maiestically vending its way along
the base of the famous Santa Cruz
mountains. Inside of this gorgeous
cyclorama sets the ranch adobe house,
with high stone wall, and in the
distance stands the cattle corrals.
Together with its great company Of
players and the electrical effects, this
play stands one of the hits Of the
season.

Spring Valley Couple Wed.

A very pretty wedding was that of
Miss Mabel L. Bradford to Mr.. j.
Frederick Purvine on Wednesday
evening, October 90, at o'clock.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Robinson at the home of the
brides parents, near Zena.
About thirty of the most intimate
friends and relatives of the contracting
parties were present. Many beautiful
and valuable presents were received.
They will spend their honeymoon at
Seaside and visit relatives at Fort
Stevens and Portland, after which
they will be at home to their friends
in Spring Valley.-Salem Statesman.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1907-10-29

of his records proves, however, that
the three wards are of nearly equal
population, with the greatest growth
being made in the First and Second
Wards.
The number of dwelling houses in
Dallas is SOB, as compared with 361
when the OBSERVER made it's count
three years ago. Almost without ex-
ception, the new houses are of modern
design and substantially built, and
many Of them have cost their owners
from $4,000 to $45OO. Only three va
cant houses were found, and these
may have been rented so far as our
enumerator knows.
The number Of small families in
Dallas is astonishing. One hundred
and thirty nine homes are childless,
and in each Of 143 other homes there is
but one child. One cannot help wonder
ing if it is the climate or the poor
neighborhood-well, we'll, that will be
about all out of you you grouchy old
bachelor over there in the OBSERVER
office! Never you mind! And, besides,
there are many homes in which there
are half dozen little "olive branches"
and in three different households
eight were enumerated. Guess there's
hope for the country yet!
One pleasant feature of the count is
that no signs of poverty or privation'
were in evidence in any home. The
people of Dallas are happy and pros
porous, contented with their lot, and
proud of their town.
For the courtesy shown our reporter
at every home visited, and for the
hearty cooperation of all in the work,
we desire to express our sincere thanks.

Net proceeds
Confirms Reported Sale.

An Eola item in the Dallas Observer
says: ''T. @. Gosser has sold his
farm to Squire Johnson Of Salem. "
The Statesman man inquired of q. A.
yesterday the meaning Of all this, and
learned that the jovial ex-iustice Of
the peace had really made the buy. It
consists Of 14O acres near the old town
Of Eola, part Of it being in hops and
fruit, and there are several acres of
cultivated land. the remainder being
pasture. The price paid was $40 per
acre, which is considered very reason
able. The new owner will have a
bonanza in it in few years.-Salem

tains a picture and brief biographical
sketch Of Ralph R. Casey, a former
Dallas boy, who has just been admitted
to the bar in the state of Washington.
The picture might easily be mistaken
for that Of Bill Bryan. The Times
says: "Ralph R. Casey has just been
admitted to practice law in this state
by the supreme court at Olympia. Mr..
Casey has been a resident Of Seattle
