beard, appointed to Investigate the Los
Angeles phases of complaints to the state
realty federation relative to Mr.. Peters
methods and the merits or demerits of the
property advertised as Home Acres, re-
ports as follows:
That ID. L. Peters advertised Home
Acres by means of a plat showing the
subdivisions of sec. "a and 26, twp. ~
s. r. Is E., Fresno county. That two
editions of such plat or circular were
issued and distributed by Peters. That
printed on such plat or circular, were
the following statements, among others:
-Just thirk of itl Five acres of land
that will earn a living for yourself and
family for 5000"
Under the head of water cd edition of
circular): Surface water 40 to 100 feet
artesian or flowing swater 500 to 300 feet
Domestic and irrigaEng water will be
furnished to buyers of this land from

The facts are: Mr.. Peters has admitted
to the committee that he published the
first edition of the map or plat and cir
cular before he had visited the land in
question; that upon visiting 1t he ascer-
tanned that the original statement as to
the depth at which surface water is con-
eidered obtainable in that locality was
erroneous and that he corrected 1t by
suppressing the first edition of his plat

IMPORTANT TRANSACTION
r. A. Rowan and Tod Ford Dispose ot
Three-story Brick Structure.
Sale Is Among the Most
important

The price paid Friday for a three
story brick building on South Broad
way was $325,oO0. g. A. Cline of Chi
cago was the buyer, The size of the
lot is 60x165 feet.
The structure is at 443 to 447. and is
known as the Rowan n-Ford building. II

Rowan & Co.
The yearly rental Of this building is
$21,000
The sale is one of the most important
that has been made recently. The new
owner has made no definite plans, but
it is probable that for the time being
at least he will allow the present
structure to stand.

managers Of the show were Mrs. +. "A.
Morrison and r. e. Williams. The
names Of the judges are, for certain
good and wise reasons, kept In the
dark.
The streets were set In an uproar by
the afternoon parade Of the Plug Ug-
lies. Kleppin's band, In grotesque
costume, headed procession thathur
Iesqued In a most laughable manner
the parade Of the morning. The "ora-
tor Of the day" rode In an old decrepit
automobile, steered by highly comi-
cal "shuffer," and propelled from
behind by a mule. John Embree,
who has taken part in more
plug-u ugly parades than most men
ever saw, was the Goddess Of Liberty,
disguised as a beautifully Indian
maiden and bearing aloft huge tur-
key buzzard. Sam Ray did the ben
Hur" stunt In a chariot made OF o
wheeled road scraper Happy Hooli-
gan and the Cop and all Of the rest Of
the bunch were In the parade. Glenn
Holman delivered humorous speech,
which was cut short by the refractory
capers OF the mule behind the auto.
L. o. VanWegen, a lariat thrower
from Buffalo, Wyoming, entertained
the assembled crowd for few minutes
with some truly remarkable rope
work, after which the dusky lads
from Chemawa proceeded to take
advantage of the awkwardness Of the
Forest Grove Colts and the z, A.
Finseth team and win two consecutive
baseball games by scores Of 7 to 4 and
10 to 3, respectively.
With evening the lines Of incandes-
cent lamps hared up along Main
street and two crowds assembled, the
one to watch the little lads bob about
in the sack race and to yell at the
excitement of the relay race. and the
other to listen to the concert by the
Normal band.
From Q to 10 O'Clock, thousands Of
people sat on the College hill and
watched the grand display Of FIRE
works. Rockets hissed aud pinwheels
whirled, and the heavens we're illumi-
mated with showers OF bursting stars
that brought out squeals OF delight
from the little tots, and numerous
"ohs" and ''ahs" from the older peo-
pie. The display Of fireworks was a
pleasant surprise 70 all.
After the words Good Night" had
blazed themselves away, announcing
the end OF the beautiful illumination,
the crowd rapidly melted away,as car
riage after carriage bowled away with
it's happy occupants. The streets
we're soon deserted, but the mellow

seum told that the merriment was not
yet all at an end. and that there were

NOTES.


NOTES.
Dallas will help her good neighbors
celebrate next year.
The banquet will be a regular
feature Of the pioneer reunions here
after. Not BIT Of doubt on thatscore.
The large electric sign on the roof
of Chapman's furniture store won the
admiration Of all. 1t was a beauty.
Does Dallas deserve the title OF 'The
Town That Does Things?'' Ask any
one Of the 10000 visitors who we're
here July 8 and4.
Every cent of the big celebration
fund has been collected; $lO26.25 was
subscribed by the business men and
$1O26.25 has been turned over to
Treasurer Guy. How is that for
patriotism and prosperity?
The OBSERVER has no apology to
make for devoting 80 much space to
the big two days celebration. It was
the biggest thing that ever happened
in Dallas and deserves all the good
words that can be said for It.
Proprietors OF the various eenfec-
tionery stores say that the big crowd,
Thursday. fairly submerged their
stores. Ice cream, peanuts and fresh
fruits were entirely cleaned out: rec
ord sales Of fireworks we're made.
It was the biggest crowd and the
best-natured crowd that ever assem-
bled In Polk county. Not case OF
drunkenness or disorderly conduct
was reported, and the policemen had
nothing to do but enjoy the celebration
with the rest Of the people. The crowd
was admirably handled and no accl-
dents occurred either day.
The electrical illuminations 10 the
business district won thousands Of
words Of praise for Dallas enterpris-
ing people. "DalIas has the city idea
alright, said one visitor to the writer.
''It has the most metropolitan appear
ance OF any country town ! have ever
visited" Hundreds Of visitors voiced
the same sentiment

NEW PILOT BOAT
FOR MAUI HARBOR
WILL BE LARGER AND HEAVIER
THAN BOATS IN USE BY HONU-
LULU PILOTS.

Captain Nicholson, the pilot of Ka-
hului, was in conference yesterday
with Superintendent of Public Works
Holloway, relative to the construction
of the new pilot boat for service at
Kahului harbor The last legislature
appropriated $3.50 for the construction
and expenses of a new boat of this
kind and Nicholson came to the city
to arrange about it,
Walker, the boat builder, will con-
struct the new boat. 1t is proposed
to have it slightly larger and heavier
than the boats used by the Honolulu
pilots and also to fit the new boat
with larger air compartments in order
to prevent it from sinking should 1t
capsize or meet with other similar
mishap. The pilot work at Kahului is
much more dangerous than that of
this local harbor, so a heavier boat is
needed. The new boat may be finished
by the end of the month.

ASIA'S FIRST TRIP
UNDER NEW NAME
MADE OVER SIXTY VOYAGES TO
THE ORIENT AS THE DORIC-
OFFICERS THE SAME.

Now making her first voyage under
the name of Asia, and having under
the name of Doric made more than
sixty voyages to the Orient without
any serious accident, the p. M. S. S.
Asia, Captain Gaukroger, arrived this
morning from San Francisco, docking
at the Hackfeld wharf at 1850 o'clock.
She sailed from San Francisco on June
II at l o'clock in the afternoon. She
resumes ner voyage to the Orient at
o'clock this afternoon.
Thirty saloon passengers are en- route
to Far Eastern ports and the Asia is
carrying a full cargo of merchandise
for distribution among all ports of call
beyond Honolulu. The personel OF
the officers has not been changed
Although the Asia sails under the
British flag and under the name of the
Occidental and Oriental S. S. Com
pany it is really the property of the
Pacific Mail steamship company. Fol-
this reason the name of the Doric was
changed to conform with those of the
vessels belonging to the company, al
of which end with the letter "a.
The other Pacific Mail vessels plying in
the Oriental trade are the Mongolia
the Manchuria, the Siberia, the Korea
the China and the Persia, formerly the
Coptic.

WILL TAKE
TRIPtATER
LAND COMMISSIONER PRATT TO
DEFER VISIT TO KAUAI-IM-
PORTANT WORK DETAINs HIM.

Land Commissioner Pratt will have
to defer his trip to Kauai, where he
was to go over the Kapaa lands and
arrange for reopening that tract. He
had booked for passage by the steamer
this afternoon but after conference
with Acting Governor Atkinson, de-
cided to concel his booking.
The cause for this postponement OF
the Kapaa trip is the fact that more
immediate matters demand Pratt's at
tention in Honolulu. He expects TO
receive this week the report of the ap-
praisement of the Alawa lands and
then he will have that tract restaked
and advertised for sale. The adver-
tising will probably be done the last
of the week
Some leases also, require Pratt's at
tention and he will settle them. The
delay in the Land Commissioner go
ing to Kapaa will not cause any great
delay in the opening of the Kapaa
lands. The surveyors are there and
| will proceed with their work as II the
commissioner were personally present,
Pratt will not be able to go to Kauai
before next month.
