BUY FALLS CITY HOTEL.
G. w. Matthews ana M. w. Walker
Are New Owners of Pop
uIar fiOsteIry.

/
@. w. Matthews has sold his inter
est in the Belvedere saloon in this city
to his partner, d. A. Madison, and, in
partnership with Moss W. Walker
has purchased the interest Of William
Chaddock in the hotel at Falls City.
The transfer of property has already
taken place and Messrs. Matthews
and Walker will go to Falls City to-
day.
Extensive changes and improve
ments in the Falls City hotel are
planned by the new proprietors, chief
of which will be the addition of ten
rooms and large new kitchen. The
house will be refurnished throughout
with the most modern furniture, and
the building will be repainted inside
and out. The bar will be moved out
Of the building, thus providing much
needed room.
The Falls City hotel is doing a
thriving business, and those who
know the new proprietors best do not
doubt that they will build up a greatly
increased patronage. Colonel Mat
thews is a progressive business man,
and enjoys a wide acquaintance
among the travelling men Of the state.
Mr.. Walker has few equals as cook,
and his good work for his brother-in-
law, J. B. Thompson, in the kitchen
and dining room of the Hotel Gail has
done much to make Dallas big hotel
popular with the travelling public.
Messrs. Matthews, Walker and Chap
pell will give the people of Falls City
a hotel second to none in the Villa
mette Valley.

NEW SKATING RINK
Kerslake and White Are Building
Large Auditorium on
Oak Street.

Dallas is to have a new auditorium
and skating rink. Ground for this
purpose was purchased by Frank
Kerslake and w. j. White from J. B.
Thompson, Monday. The new build
ing will be located at the corner of
Oak and Jefferson streets on the site
OF the old Chinese laundry. Messrs.
Kerslake and White also purchased
from Mr.. Thompson the Schneider &
Sears livery stable building and
grounds, giving them frontage Of
43 feet on Main street and 90 feet on
Jefferson street.
The new building, which is to be
rushed to completion as rapidly as
carpenters can do the work, will be "a
by 100 feet in size, with an entrance
on Oak street. A hardwood floor 60
by 90 feet will be put down, and a
gallery will extend along both sides
of the building.
The building will be used for
skating rink in the winter months,
and will be open to all kinds of public
gatherings in the summer. 1t Is the
intention of the owners to conduct
first-class rink, and to this end they
have contracted with T. G. Stockwell
to furnish a band for the opening
month at least. With good music
and good floor, the new rink should
receive liberal patronage from those
who are fond of the popular sport of
roller skating.

not far distant when the automobile

some day, but there will have to be an

CATION of BaII-TOSserS.

The sporting editor of the Evening
Telegram has the following to say OF
Jimmy Shinn, a former Polk county
boy, who has signed to play with the
Portland baseball team this year, and
who recently spent several days visit
ing relatives In Dallas:
James Shinn, the first of the 1907
Portland baseball team to strike town,
came in on the boat from The Dalles
yesterday. He had been visiting a
brother at Sumpter, and was tied up
by the slides on the o. r. & N. Jim
my Shinn is the California busher
that Manager McCredie has picked up
on recommendation of Pitcher
O'Brien, of San Jose.
''Shinn is really an Oregon boy. He
formerly lived at Independence, Or
egon, but moved to Healdsburg, Cali
fornia, with his parents, eight years
ago. He is "a years old, he says, but
looks to be about 10 years. He is Of
slight build, a good deal like Jerry
Kane Jimmy stands S feet inches,
and weighs $50 pounds. He made
great record with the willow and on
bases while playing a few games with
San Jose last fail. He certainly is
active, and if he can find the horse
hide as hard and as often as he did
last fall, he will make good with Nc
Credie.

Newberg pays her night watchman
$50 month, and the business men
add $S5 more to his salary. Such an
arrangement should be made in Dal-
las. The merchants and property
owners stand ready to do their part,
and it only remains for the city coun-
Gil to appoint a night man. Dallas
has absolutely no need of salaried
marshal in the daytime.
