The program which they put on was
In many ways superior to any OF the
entertainments given here previously
by the same company, their work 10
quartette and trio being especially
effective. The cello solos by the
younger Mr.. Dunbar were greatly
enjoyed and ELECTED much applause.
While the bell ringing itself was by
no means the best feature Of the enter
taiument their dexterity in handling
the bells and correctly executing pieces
OF intricate composition and rapid
movement was highly interesting.

Grand Chancellor Visits.

Grand Chancellor Gus @. Moser
came up from Portland on Wednes-
days evening train and paid an
official visit to Marmion Lodge, No.
SO, Knights of Pythias. The dis
tinguished visitor was met at the

was held prior to the opening of the
lodge. Many members OF Marmion
Lodge and visiting Knights were
present to welcome the popular pre-
siding officer OF the Oregon juris-
diction. During the evening, Grand
Chancellor Moser delivered a highly
instructive and entertaining address
on the objects and benefits Of the
Pythian order. Refreshments were
served at IL o'clock. Marmion Lodge,
although among the young lodges OF
the state, is making steady increase
in membership, and the Grand Chan
cellor congratulated the members in
the warmest terms on this substantial
growth and prosperity. Mr.. MoseI

WILL SOON BEGIN ROAD WORK
County Commissioners Plan to Have
Four Miles of Crushed Rock Laid
This Season.

I. E. Bradley, of Forest Grove, a
representative of the company which
has secured the contract for the work
of macadamizing the roads In Polk
county, was in Dallas, Wednesday,
attending to some Of the preliminaries
of the work, such as ordering material
and arranging for the hiring of his
crews. The actual work of road con-
struction will be commenced between
May and 10, and will be continued
almost without intermission until the
beginning Of the Fall rains.
The county rock crusher is now
located on the Frink quarry near
Falls City, and the work will be COM
menced near Luckiamute. The Sec
tion proposed for improvement lies
within easy hauling distance from
the quarry and no delay will be
caused by necessity of moving the
crusher to a new quarry during the
time in which road work is being
carried on in that section.
When the Luckiamute section has
been completed, the crusher will be
moved back to the Lyons quarry
near Salt Greek and work on a new
stretch Of the road between Dallas and
that place will tie commenced. The
move from the Frink to the Lyons
quarry will probably be the only one
necessary this season and during the
remainder of the summer, after the
move has been completed, the work
will be prosecuted practically without
interruption.
Last season an aggregate Of more
than three miles Of road in the vicini-
ties Of Ballston, Salt Greek, Luckia-
mute and Falls City was macadam-
ized All of the stretches on which
crushed rock was placed have stood the
test Of the past winter excellently and
where year ago they were considered
VIGOROUSLY the worst sections of road
in the county they are now regarded
as the best.
A total of about four miles is the
extent of the macadam work planned
by the county commissioners for this
season. This may be extended even
further, il the sections already
planned for improvement are com
pleted in time. The crushed rock
beds will be gradually extended each
season in future, the main Travelled
roads in the county being first i'm
proved and afterward those on which
traffic is lighter and less frequent.
Aside from the building of macadam
roads this summer, large amount OF
gravel work will be done in the eastern
portion of the county where it is
lnconvenient and expensive to use
crushed rock and where a good
quality Of river gravel can be secured.

POLK COUNTY LEADS In PRICE
sidered Finest and Best in the
State.

The Portland Telegram, in its report
of the sale of the Dallas mohair pool
contains the following: Tuesdays
sale should not be taken to mean that
the mohair situation has undergone
any improvement said member Of
the local trade, for conditions so fa1
as Eastern trade and manufacture
are concerned are exactly the same as
for several weeks past. 1t is well
known that the Dallas pool, all things
considered, is the best in the state, and
it is for this reason that dealers are
willing to pay from half cent to a
cent and a half more for this hair
than for any other. Mohair from the
Dallas section runs fine and is well
bred.
Nevertheless, the price paid for
that pool Tuesday was more than
present conditions of the market war
ranted, and the deal was unquestion-
ably speculation on the part OF the
Salem dealer Mohair in the East al
this time is not worth to exceed 273c,
and when freight and ballng charges
are considered it can easily be seen
that the quotations that have ruled
here for the past two weeks are actually
out of line with conditions In the East.
"Dealers say the mohair clip of the
state will total about the same as that
of last year, which was approximately
100000 pounds. Shearing will be
finished within a few days"
