Several of the young men of Dallas
have organized a skating club, and
will give select skating party to their
invited friends one evening of each
week.
Carl Williams, captain of the
Eugene skating basketball team, has
written to Dallas, his home town, to
secure date for game with the local
five which is playing under the man
agement Of George Morton. Satur-
day, January 1S, was at first fixed
upon, but owing to the game already
scheduled between Dallas College and
Ashland Normal, an effort will be
made to transfer it to the preceding
night. Although basketball on skates
is necessarily much slower than when
played in the ordinary manner, the
skillful and accurate footwork
required and the graceful appearance
of the skaters atones for the lack Of
speed and makes it truly enjoyable
sport to both spectators and players.
The jury in the case of Krebs Hop
Company vs.. T. A. Livesley & Com
pany returned a verdict for the
plaintiff for $4,000 Friday afternoon
after deliberation of only Is minutes.
The case arose over difference in the
price of hops on October Is, 1907, and
the contract price agreed upon between
the two parties. In 1905, the Krebs
Hop Company contracted to deliver to
T. A. Livesley & Company 100000
of hops each year for years, at IA
cents a pound. After the delivery Of
the first lot of hops in 1905, the price
fell and the law suit followed.
H. s. Butz, president of the Polk
County Horticultural Society, has
called meeting Of that association
for Saturday afternoon, January Is,
for the purpose of discussing and
taking final action upon the PROPOSE
ton which will be submitted by the
committee recently appointed to work
on the cannery project. The work of
this session will be of vital importance
not only to the citizens Of Dallas but
to those Of the surrounding district,
and it is urged that all fruit growers
or persons interested in fruit growing
be present at this meeting.
Marshal Hubbard bewails the fact
that since he issued his edict that all
hoboes arrested in Dallas would be
put to cleaning sidewalks in future,
no hoboes have trusted themselves
within the city limits, and the task of
keeping the sidewalks in the business
portions free from mud falls back
upon the shoulders Of the long suffer
ting servant Of the law. The city's free
dom from vagrants during the past
three weeks seems therefore to have
both light and dark side to it.

Simple Remedy For Lagrlppe.

Lagrippe coughs are dangerous as
they frequently develop into pneu-
monia. Foley's Honey and Tar not
only stops the cough but heals and
strengthens the lungs so that no
serious results need be feared. The
genuine Foley's Honey and Tar con-
tains no harmful drugs and is in a
yellow package. Refuse substitutes.

Noted Lecturer Coming.

The next number in the course OF
entertainments which is being put on
under the auspices Of Dallas College,
will be filed by Professor Maynard
Lee Daggy in his lecture on "Anglo-
Saxon Grit" at the Woodman Hall
next Friday evening. Although but a
young man, Professor Daggy has
already acquired a national reputation
as an orator and lecturer, and his
lecture is said to be one of the finest
features of the Lyceum Course for this
season.

b wish you a
Happy and Pros

I1dppy anu AOo
porous New Year, and
take this occasion to
thank you for the gen
erous help you have
given us that has en-
abled us to build our
business to what it is.
On November, Z 1903,
we began the Hardware
business with a total
stock of $4,000 occupying
a floor space of 1000
square feet.
In January, 1905, we
added the plumbing and
timing department to
our hardware business,
and on January 1, 1906,
added another depart-
ment, that of furniture,
by the purchase of the
Kerslake stock. This
needing more floor space
we leased the entire
Kirkpatrick building,
which we now occupy
with the addition of a
large warehouse for each
department.
We now have a total
floor space of over 5000
square feet, over 9 times
the space we had in the
beginning. We now
employ regularly te n
people to look after this
business; five times as
many as we. had in the
beginning, and we are
now doing more than
ten times the business
we did in 1904, and be-
lieve that in 1908 we
will do Is times as much
as we did in 1904.
You, our customers
have made our increased
stock possible, for which
we thank you, a n d
promise in the year 1908,
if we have your custom
it will be taken care of
in the same way that it
was in 1907.
Yours for a more pros
porous 1908.

Walker, the absconding cashier OF
the New Britain. Conn, Savings
bank, will fight extradition proceed
ings in Mexico and will not return
to the United States until every
means of defense in this country
has been exhausted. That is the lat
est phase, 1t was announced yester-
day, of the case of the fugitive Amer

II is also believed that Walker has
not squandered the entire amount he

but that he is still in possession of a
large sum, and that he is now trying
to gain liberty by making a settle
ment with the bank.
The extraditiOn papers are now on
their way to the district Judge. be-
fore whom the case will be tried.
The judge has appointed as attorney
for the defense NJ. CabaIlero of En-

There is good reason to believe that
the magnifying power Of transparent
media with convex surfaces was very
early known. A convex lens Of rock
crystal was found by Layard among
the ruins of the palace of Nimrud.
And it is pretty certain that after the
invention OF glass hollow spheres
blown of that material were commonly
used as magnifers. The perfection Of

CHATFIELD CASE
Attorney Bronson Bss MOI Much
Faith in Safety Board.

Attorney N. r. Bronson takes 1t
for granted that the board OF safety
will GUST A. l. Chatfield from his
position of inspector of buildings,
and then will begin the real trouble.
BY special amendment to the city
charter made in 1903 it was pro-
vided that the board of safety by a
majority vote can dismiss the build
ing inspector, but its action must be
confirmed by the board of aldermen.
Such is Mr. Bronson's Interpretation
of the amendment.
Mr. Bronson, in fact, says that the
board of safety has prejudged and
already dismissed Mr. Chatfield, and
the hearing called for next Wednes-
day he considers mere matter of
form, for the board has already filed
a finding against him and it cannot
consistently repudiate that act.
Therefore Mr. Chatfield has all but
walked the plank in his counseps es-
timation.
Mr. Bronson then considers that
Mr. Chatfield is all but out of office
and all that remains to be done is to
get the endorsement of such course
by the board of aldermen, or rather
two-thirds of the board, which is ten
of its fifteen members. Mr. Bronson
does not think the board of safety's
dismissal of Mr. Chattield will be APP
proved by the board of aldermen.
Where then is the city for building
inspector? So far as the board of
safety is concerned Mr. Chattield has
been or will be dismissed, but so far
as the board of aldermen view the
matter Mr. Chatfield is still in Office,
for the action of the board of safety
will not be sanctioned by the alder
men. Will Mr. Chatfield then at the
end of the month present himself for
his months salary? On the advice
of his counsel of course, he will.
And will he get it? Comptroller
Russell, on the advice of the city at
torney, will not give it to him, I'M
less it be in the neck. Mr. Chatfield
will accordingly bring suit for his
money and then the lawyers are
started going.
Meanwhile Deputy Inspector of
Buildings Mackie will be the actual
Inspector receiving for every day he
is so employed IS, unless a salary is
stated.
Talking over the matter to-day in
a conversational way, Mr. Bronson
saw lots of fun ahead. He expects
to be able to produce at the hearing
next Wednesday evidence to show
that Mr. Chatfield is both competent
and honest. But he has taken it for
granted that Mr. Chatfield will be
out of job after that public hear
ing.

WINDING THE CLOCK.
Janitor of New Haven City Hall
Finds 1t Good Exercise.

New Haven, Jan 25.-Few people
who look at the clock on the top of
city hall and see there the time, day
and night, except for the occasional
times when the hands are stopped by
ice or other actions of the elements,
realize the trouble and expense that
the city is, put to to give passers an
idea of when it is time to go home.
Winding the clock alone is almost a
good days work, but luckily it only
has to be done once week. When
the week is about up Janitor Schap-
pa, with a crank as big as a crow
bar, has to go up into a little two by
four room and for exactly twenty
five minutes pull and tug, turning
the wheels to bring the weights back
to the roof. On account of their
weight not more than a half dozen
revolutions of the wheel can be made
to the minute and it has been fig
ured that to wind the clock it takes
about 2S5 turns of the wheels.
