RAPID PROGRESS ON ROADBED
Work on Grade of Salem Railroad
Extension More Than Half
Finished.

Track laying on the Salem extension
Of the Dallas & Falls City Railroad
will commence in about 10 days, If
expected switch material shall arrive
promptly on time. Steel rails for a
goodly portion Of the 14-mile extension
are already on the ground in Dallas;
several thousand ties are seasoning
on the Willamette Valley Lumber
Company's yard, and active construc-
ton of the track awaits only the
arrival of the material necessary to
make connection with the main line
in this city.
General Manager Louis Gerlinger,
Jr.. who has supervision OF all the
construction work, informs the Obser-
yer that the grading gang working
from the Dallas end has already
reached Derry-fve and one-half
miles out-and that two miles Of
grade on the Salem-Eola division Is
now ready for the ties and rails.
Forty teams are working on the grade.
Manager Gerlinger says there is no
difficulty 10 securing men and teams
and that the earth work will be rushed
to early completion.
Rapid progress is being made in the
construction of the bridge over the
LaCreole river on the Brunk farm.
This is the only bridge of Importance
on the line. The company's pile driver
will be taken to the Pierce Riggs farm
on the river today or tomorrow to be
used in constructing trestle.
While the chief activity this spring
is on the Salem extension, the COM
pany is making more substantial i'm
provements on the Dallas Black Rock
division than during any preceding
year. Heavy earth fills are being
made at several points between Falls
City and Black Rock, and several
sharp curves on the Lee hill near
Dallas are being cut out. The trestles
on the south side Of the hill are being
replaced with earth and rock and the
heavy grades materially reduced.
This improvement will greatly facili-
tate the handling OF the logging trains
on the Dallas division. With the
addition of these Improvements on the
main line and the completion of the
14-mile extension to Salem, the Polk
County line will present one OF the
finest examples of modern railroad
construction to be found in the Pacific
Northwest

EXHIBIT IS FINISHED
Pupils of Dallas Public School Will
Have Fine Display at Seattle
Exposition.

The display selected from the ex-
hibit which the pupils of the Dallas
public school have prepared Tor the
Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, has
been attracting a large number Of
interested persons about the window
of Stafrin's drugstore, where it has
been shown since Tuesday afternoon.
The papers, which fill both of the
show windows, represent only about
one-tenth of the entire exhibit, but are
SO selected as to give comprehensive
idea Of the nature Of the whole exhibit
from which it is taken.
An average of five studies from each
grade are represented in the exhibit
as it. will be made up when entered at
the big Exposition. On each of the
subjects from 90 to 25 pupils have
prepared papers. This will make the
total number OF papers comprised in
the exhibit range somewhere between
1000 and 1900.
The display at Stafrin's said by the
teachers to be fair type of the entire
exhibit, is extremely we'll prepared
and reflects great credit upon both the
teachers and the pupils. 1t is doubt
full If there will be many other exhibits
entered in which a standard of excel
lence uniformly so high has been
prepared.
The Dallas entry will be sent to
Portland in short time and placed
in the hands OF R. F. Robinson, who
is to have charge of the assembling
and care of the educational exhibit
from Oregon at the big Fair this
summer.
Another excellent feature Of the Dal-
las public schools entry is the fact
that nearly all of the work deals with
Dallas and Polk county to large ex-
tent, outlining in an attractive man.
ner it's resources, its industrial devel-
opment and agricultural wealth.
Thus, in this exhibit, Dallas will
send to the Seattle exposition COM
prehensive and convincing collection
of material which while it shows to a
good advantage the advancement and
efficiency Of our public school system,
will also convey to all visitors at the
Fair who examine it, an excellent
advertisement Of our city and oul
county.

This is the second best time from the
island port that the Asia has ever made,
and the best time, only three hours
shorter, was made in the days before a
limit was placed on the coal consump-
tion.
The Asia. which is nearly 80 yea4'
old, has been one of the most. success
full steamers ever launched under any
flag. Fifteen years ago the liner. then
the Doric, was equipped with the en-
taken out of the old Oceanic. The liner,
in command of Captain Harry Smith,
made the run from Liverpool to this
port via the straits of Magellan in Al
once, and for 90 minutes only, between
the river Mersey and the anchorage
Doric sailed for IIongkong and has
been on the run between here and there
ever since, never missing trip.
y Chief Engineer Allen, who was re-
tired some time ago, made more Inan
100 round trips in the liner. That his
successor, Samuel Aitken, has also won
the confidence and good will of the en-
gines was demonstrated by this last
run from Honolulu which is regarded
by the company officials as phenomenal.
The Asia brought 1872 passengers, OF
whom 65 were Asiatics. The liner left
1000 tons of cargo at Honolulu The
1855 tons of freight brought TO this
F,S12 mats Of Nice and 1884 rolls of
mdltlnS.
The Asias passengers included Rev.
George A. Bunbary.. principal of st.
PauTs school, Hongkong. who is on
his way to England to visit relatives.
Alfred c. Bramwell, another passenger
from Hongkong, is on his way to Eng
land to superintend the construction OF
steamship to be used on the coast
of Asia. Ralph Wolf of Castle Bros. Ss
Wolf, Manila, was a passenger on the
liner He says that business in the
Philippines is better than it has been
for some time.
Mrs David Silverados. trapeze per-
former, furnished steady and athletic
entertainment for her fellow passen-
gers and incidentally taught them that
swinging gracefully on q trapeze was
an accomplishment acquired only by
the hardest kind of physical toll. Hour
after hour she practiced on a bar that
Chief officer Hill had rigged for her
on deck, and when the Asia arrived
here Mrs. Silverados was the only soul
on board that wanted to be trapeze
performer.
Another passenger on the liner was
Goro Tsuda, second secretary of the
Japanese legation at Paris.
