CHILDREN WILL PARADE
Attractive Feature to Be Added to
Polk County School Fair
Next Week.

AS many OF the public schools OF
Polk county will have begun the Fall
term before the opening of the
Children's Industrial Fair, County
Superintendent Seymour is arranging
for a grand parade of pupils on the
afternoon of September 27. The parade
will be held at 2 o'clock, and will be
one of the attractive features of the
fair. Every school child in the county
is requested to be present. as the
management desires to make the very
best possible showing.
Encouraging reports are coming in
from all parts of the county as to the
preparation Of exhibits, and a fine
display is now assured. In addition
to the preparation of exhibits for their
own division, several girls in the
county have raised agricultural pro-
ducts, prizes for which we're offered in
the boys division only. Superin-
tendent Seymour says he will see to it
that these girls are not overlooked in
the distribution Of prizes and will pre-
pare list of premiums especially for
them. He invites the girls to bring
in their exhibits, as every article is
wanted that will add to the size and
attractiveness of the display.

FREAK RUNAWAY
Wheel From Wrecked Blackboard
Crashes Through Adams &
COmpany's Show Window.

One Of the greatest freaks in the
line Of runaways ever been witnessed
in Dallas occurred Saturday morning,
when horse belonging to Peter Red
decop made a circuit Of the business
district, scattering harness and broken
blackboard over every foot of his
course. The frightened animal started
from Simpkins & Long meat market,
ran down Court street, and by a quick
reverse in front Of H.. L. Fenton's
residence, overturned the rig. Cutting
across the corner of the court house
lawn, he started on the back track,
and in front Of Sibley & Eakin's office
the blackboard began to disintegrate.
A wheel flew off, rolled diagonally
across the street, and bounced into the
the window Of Adams & Company's
furniture store, where it reposed
among the shattered glass and over
turned bric-a-brac as though placed
there expressly for window display
Three more wheels were deposited at
various points along the business
block on Main street, and the bed of
the rig was left in a thoroughly
demoralized condition with the shafts
astride telephone pole in front of the
Palm restaurant.
When Mr.. Reddecop had made a
tour of the course and assembled the
remnants, it looked like the dregs of
a junkshop, but he stolidly sett work
with a bundle of wire and a monkey
wrench, and inside an hour electrified
the entire street by making a trium-
phal exit in a blackboard that looked
as though it had never seen runaway.

"A VALUABLE INDUSTRY
New Factory in Dallas Will Manu-.
facture Soda, Cider Pickles
and JellieS.

Speaking of the branch factory to
be established in Dallas by the Gideon
Stolz Company, the Salem Statesman
says:
"The Gideon Stolz Company, Of this
city, plans to have two auxiliary
establishments. In pursuance of this
object, conveniently located piece of
land has just been purchased at
Dallas. The first building there will
be put up next month, and the
machinery has been bought for COM
plete soda plant. Next year, cider
plant will be added, and perhaps
pickles, jellies, ETC., will be made there
'The Gideon Stolz Company was
organized some years ago, the
corporation form being adopted in
order to encourage some Of the younger
men engaged with Mr.. Gideon Stolz.
Lately, however, the stock not held by
the senior member, has been acquired
by his son, Walter Stolz, who is now
superintendent, and Chas. L. McNary,
who has been elected secretary Of the
company. 1t is the purpose of the
new management to build up, on the
firm foundation long established,
larger business. The trade supplied
already reaches from Mexico to Alaska
and further"

BIG BOILER BURSTS
BriedwelI Warehouse Engine Wrecked
and Engineer Painfully
Injured.

The engine and engine-house at the
Briedwell Station warehouse were
totally wrecked by the explosion Of the
boiler early Saturday morning. The
engineer escaped with broken collar
bone.
The explosion occurred at an early
hour, while the engineer was getting
up steam. The firebox was blown
about so yards to the west, and the
boiler was driven into the wall of the
warehouse, so yards to the east. The
engineer was standing just outside the
door when the explosion took place.
Had he been in the building, he
doubtless would have been killed
instantly.
1t is supposed that the water in the
boiler ran low, or that the safety-valve
failed to work. The boiler was an old
one, having been in use at the ware
house for many years.

"DANNY U'REN."
BY DEAN COLLINS.

"Why squalls the Bird of Freedom?
said the Public-on-Parade.
"'E's losin' OF lis feathers" the gal
liant U'Ren said.
For a mighty corporation is a.
graspin' of lis tail,
They're maxim is pin-feathers fly
through the air like 'ail,
An 30 the big bald eagle raises up
a doleful wall,
An there's surely somethin' doin'
in the mornin'.
"What is that sullen, scrapin' sound?"
said the Public-on-Parade.
That's the Pacific Telephone" the
gallant U'Ren said.
That's diggin' at the cornerstone Of
all our liberty,
An chopin at the tap-root of
Freedoms mighty tree;
They swear that it's all wrong, an
they will sure demolish the
Initiative and Refundum in the
mornin'.
"What is that ON m'nous crackin'?"
said the Public-on-Parade.
"Our fair States swayin' to it's fall, :"
the gallant U'Ren said.
For all these bloomin' plutocrats as
marshaled their cohorts,
An will chase the Initiative and
U'Rendum through the courts !;
They swear that they will rout us
from the ramparts of our forts,
For we've broke the Constitution in
the mornin'.
"Who is that wise appearin' guy?"
said the Public-oh-Parade.
'That is an expert chemist" the
gallant U'Ren said.
The Initiative and the U'Renendum
e as tried
With acid, an e says it's full of
brass on the inside,
So the Pacific Telephone is tannin'
of my 'ide
For passin' you gold brick in the
mornin'.

Coad won out in the Oregonian Yel-
lowstone contest, and Miss Maude
Robertson went to jamestown Exposi-
ton as guest of the Evening Tele-
gram.

S. P. IMPROVES ROADBED
Better Connection at Whiteson-
Material Arriving for Big Bridge
at OSwegO.

At least five minutes will be cut of
the running time Of the Dallas-Port-
land passenger trains by the use of
the new curve now being built to con-
meet the Yamhill division and West
Side tracks at WhitesoD. With the
completion of this connection, it will
no longer be necessary for the Yam
hill division trains to back through
the Y at that station. A large gang
of men and teams are engaged in
scraping and clearing away the
surplus earth for the new track.
After the curve is finished, the cross
ing will be taken up, and all tracks
east of the main line, except the sid
ings will be removed. The depot will
be moved about 100 yards north to the
intersection of the main lines. This
improvement will be greatly appre-
ciated by the train men and the
travelling public.
The contractors are getting the
material on the ground for the big
bridge across the Willamette river at
Oswego, and construction of the new
line will begin in the near future.
But little of the old track for the first
four miles south of Oswego will be
used, as the company will straighten
the curves and avoid grades as far as
possible. The West Side track from
Beaverton will connect with the YAM
hill division about three and one-half
miles south Of Oswego, where Y will
be established
The company has been operating a
big steam shovel in cleaning out a
deep cut just south Of Lafayette. The
dirt from this cut was used in filing
some small trestles between Lafayette
and Dundee. The shovel is now at a
point about one mile south of Middle
ton, where sharp curve will be cut
out and a small trestle filled in. 1t is
the company's intention to straighten
the sharp curves Of the Yamhill line
wherever practicable and to put the
roadbed IN the best possible shape for
the operation of heavy trains.

HERE'S A GOOD ONE
Advantage Of Trading With Home
Merchants FOrclbIy Illustrated
in Small Purchase.

A rather amusing story is told on a
man who went into a hardware store
of neighboring town and wished to
purchase an ak. Being shown the
article and informed that the price
was $1.15, he said: "Why, I can get
the same kind of an Ak from a mail
order house for 80 cents"
Every well," said the hardware
man 81 will give it to you for the
same price, provided that you do the
same with me as you would with
them"
GAIL right" replied the customer, as
he handed over a dollar bill, the
merchant giving him back ten cents
in change.
"Now," said the hardware man, 81
want rs cents more to pay express
charges" which the purchaser gave
him. ''How much did your ak cost
you?"
zone dollar and Is cents" the man
answered
very good, now give me s cents
more for money order fees and pos
tage," which the purchaser had to
hand over. "Now how much did your
ak cost you?"
Zone dollar and 20 cents" said the
customer.
"Not so cheap after ALL" said the
merchant, whereupon he picked up
the ak, tossed it back on the shelf and
told the customer to call for it in ten
days, as that would be as soon as he
could get it if he had ordered it from
the mail order house.

BUCKEYE STATE TOO SLOW
Former Ohio Man Glad to Get Back
to the Live, Busy West.

T. J. Cherrington arrived in Dallas,
Friday, from a months visit to his
old home in Ohio. He also attended
the reunion Of native Ohioans held in
the city Of Columbus, in that state.
Although he enjoyed his visit greatly,
he is glad to be back in Oregon once
more, for having lived SO many years
in the lively, business-like West, he
felt out of place in the sleepy old cities
of the eastern states.
''The climate of Ohio" said Mr..
Cherrington yesterday, sis just as
good as that Of Oregon, but the cities
seem so old, so quiet and dilapidated,
in comparison to those 1 have grown
accustomed to, that am glad to get
back where the people have some
ambition and activity. The people Of
Denver, st. Paul and Chicago are the
only ones 1 saw that moved about and
seemed to have purpose in life, like
they do out here on the coast. In
other places, everyone looked like he
had either done his work and retired
from business, or had not yet begun. 1"
