STREET CARNIVAL In JUNE
E. J. Arnold Will Bring His Many
Attractions to Dallas Numerous
Other Features Assured.

A three days street carnival for Dal-
las is now practically assured. A
considerable amount of money has
already been secured for the big event
and a meeting Of the citizens will be
held at the Courthouse tonight to
appoint committees on preparation,
and decide upon the place where the
carnival shall be held.
Two locations have already been
offered-the college campus and
those parts Of Mill, Shelton and Court
streets around the block east of the
court house square. The latter loca-
tion seems to be the more favored Of
the two, since it will bring the crowd
up into the business portion of the
town, and leave the campus open for
baseball games and athletic meets.
E. J. Arnold, of Portland, who fur
nished the attractions for the Wood
man Carnival few years ago, has
written to Dallas offering to come
here on June IL, 10 and 2O, with his
big aggregation of carnival features.
In addition to the tent attractions, he
promises balloon ascension each day
and several other sensational open
air exhibitions. The City Council, at
its meeting last night, decided to dis
pense with the usual license in Mr..
Arnold's case, and to do everything in
its power to assist reasonably in the
preparation Of the big event.
Everyone is enthusiastic over the
proposed carnival, and preparations
will be carried forward eagerly, every
effort being used to make it the most
enjoyable event Of its kind ever held
in this city.

FROM ALL OVER OREGON
Thousands of People Will Witness
dwelling of Pioneer School
Monument at Rickreall.

A widespread and active interest is
being shown in the preparations for
the School Picnic to be held in Rick
reall, Saturday, in celebration Of the
founding of the first school in Polk
county, 6s years ago.
The fund for the purchase of a suit
able monument to mark the spot is to
be raised by contributions of one cent
and no more, from every child attend
ing school in Polk county, and Super
intendent Seymour reports that the
required sum is nearly completed.
Yesterday afternoon he went to
Rickreall, and with the assistance Of
Mrs. Josephine Boyle selected the loca-
tion for the monument. Mrs. Boyle
was a daughter of Colonel Nathaniel
Ford, and one Of the 16 pupils who
attended the first school.
G.. L. Hawkins, of this city is pre-
pairing the monument, which will be
in the form of a neatly carved slab Of
marble with the following inscription,
Erected by the school children Of
1908, in honor of the members Of the
first school opened in Polk county in
1886"
The celebration will be one Of
universal interest, and it is believed
that an enormous crowd will be In
attendance. The program will occupy
the greater part of the day, and some
Of Oregon's most prominent men will
be present and participate.
At 10 80 o'clock In the morning a
concert will be given by the Dallas
band, followed by a program ii which
every public school 10 Polk County
will be represented. After an hours
intermission for dinner, the crowd will
reassemble for the program Of the
afternoon. Hon. George Fl. Hines,
of Portland, secretary of the Oregon
Historical Society, will speak on "The
Early History of Oregon" and P. L.
Campbell, president Of the State Uni
versity, and State Superintendent. H.
Ackerman will deliver short addresses
on subjects of educational interest.
After the close Of these three addresses
the school children Of Polk County
will form in aparade fully 1900 strong,
and march to the Joshua Mcdaniel
property, where the monument is to
be erected.
At that place DR.. t. V. B. Embree,
one of the pupils of the first school,
will deliver the occasional address,
and the ceremony will be closed with
the unveiling of the monument. Mrs.
H. L. Veazie, Of Portland, daughter
of J. e. Lyle, who taught the first
school, will probably do the unveillng.
From all sides, offers Of assistance
in the big memorial celebration are
being received from those who are
eager to do honor to the pioneers OF
Oregon's educational system.

Good News For Dallas College.

DR.. @. A. Mock, president of Dallas
College, attended the Annual Confer
ence Of the Evangelical Association
at Little Falls, Washington, last Fri
day. Although no definite decision
had been made when he returned to
Oregon, DR.. Mock says that the Asso-
citation is extremely friendly to Dallas
College, an d everything indicates that
it intends to recognize the college for
mally as its own institution as we'll as
the school Of the United Evangelical
Church. Such action will give the
college almost double the support.
both in patronage and in financial
backing, that it now enjoys, and will
mean the opening Of an era of
increased prosperity for the institu-
tion. DR.. Mock was accompanied on
his northern trip by the Rev. A. A.
Winter, OF Portland.

PAVED STREETS
FOR DALLAS
Property Owners Enthusiastic, and Will
Meet Friday Night to Discuss
Proposed Improvement.

out on the main business streets. A
mass meeting Of the property holders
in the districts in which improvements
are contemplated will be called at the
Courthouse, Friday night, and an
earnest effort will be made to get the
interest and cooperation of all to
make the streets of Dallas the best
and most beautiful to be found in any
town Of its size on the Pacific Coast.
The meeting Of the City Council was
a busy one. Although it had been
called only to decide on the bids for
hauling crushed rock for the streets,
many other important matters were
brought up and acted upon during the
session.
The bid of F. J. Morrison and Frank
Rowell for hauling crushed rock at
70 cents a cubic yard, to be measured
on the wagons, and to be delivered at
the rate of not less than so cubic yards
day, was accepted. The council
also'fixed the daily wages for ordinary
labor at the city quarry on the Boise
Farm at SO day.
Councilman M. M. Ellis reported
that $48. so a month had been pledged
by the business men Of tffe city for the
support Of night watchman, and
asked that the city vote sufficient
additional sum to insure salary of
$50 a month for such an officer. The
Council voted $1l.5O a month toward
the salary, and appointed w. G.
Campbell to actas Dightwatchman.

Dallas can have paved streets II the
nropertv-owners desire them. Senti-
ment in favor of bithulitic pavement
irstead of crushed rock on the prin-
cipal business thoroughfares has been
growing rapidly in the last few days,
and in Difference to the wishes OF many
business men, the city council decided
last night to call halt in the move
mept already under way for macadam
streets and permit the question to be
decided by the interested property
owners. The action of the council was
largely influenced by the enthusiastic
report of Councilmen F. j. Coad and
Conrad Stafrin, who had spent Friday
and Saturday in Eugene, inspecting
the paving work, and securing
statistics on pavement and paving
machinery.
The cost Of paving Oh Main
Street, said Mr.. Coad, will be
about $7.34 for front foot of pave
men to the center of the street. At
first glance this seems exorbitant, but
considering the fact that on such a
pavement, repairs would be less fre-
quent and less extensive than on
macadam, it is believed that it would
prove to be fully as economical in the
long run.
Many of the business men Of the
city we're present and all declared
that they were in favor of making the
streets of Dallas the best possible, and
that they were anxious to see the paw
ing project introduced and carried

the hardness of solid rock, making the

Henry Clews' anaucisl letter of February 2l, is of a tone quite different from those that have preceded it for many moons.
 The financial depression has seen Its worst, he says, and the lOug-dIstance view is more encouraging than at any time within the last twelve montes. Investors have DO reason to feel other wise than confident, while speculative operators should be satisfied for the present with moderate profits and quick returns.

THE ANARCHISTS IN AMERICA

The anarchist is becoming very much in evidence in this land of the free. And probably in no land on the earth will he be given such short shrltt once the people are thoroughly aroused to his presence. The busy member of the ilk just arrested in Chicago, arrived iu this country just three months ago. Is it likely this sort of thing will be eOl- erated?
 Police Commissioner Bingham, of New York places the blame properly On the lax immigration inspection. In arecent interview sent out by the as- Boclated press be says:
 We have bad records of fifty Italian criminals which would exclude them yrom this country, or once here should bring about their deportation, Out of these fifty only six have been dsported, notwithstanding the fact that the police have been ready to furnish the imni- grafton department at sll times with information to keep out and send out of the country these habitual crimI- nals."
 Perhaps nothing but the active oper- atious of the dynamiters themselves will bring about their suppression but they seem to be look ng after that. These fore. gners do not conceive the character of the people they have come among but the iron hand they have ecome accustomed to at home should be made by comparison with that which they fed here a soft and velvety affair.
