ANGLING APPEARS POPULAR
Issuance of Fishermen's Licenses Fal
Exceeds Number Made Out to
Huntsmen Last Week.

II the showing Of the county records
be taken as authority, it really would
appear as II hunting were decadent
sport in comparison with the gentle
art of angling. for the demand for
anglers licenses exceed the demand
for huntsman's licenses by an over
whelming ratio.
The law requiring all fishermen to
carry licenses went into effect May 25.
Previous to that date, Deputy County
Clerk A. F. Toner and f. j. Craven, OF
the Dallas City Bank, had placed
themselves we'll within the protection
of the law and at the same time gained
the distinction of being the first two
anglers to take out licenses under the
new law, by securing the required
documents on May II and 1S respec-
lively.
Since that time the issuance has
averaged between four and five
licenses a day, a total Of 40 having
been issued up to Wednesday night.
This total lacks but eleven OF equal
ling the total issuance Of huntsman's
licenses during the past five months
or since the first Of January. or the
total 81 hunters licenses, FIVE have
been issued since May II. Since thai
day the ratio of the demand has aver
aged about to and has been gradu
ally increasing In favor OF the angler
The reasons for this preponderanc'
of the disciples Of Isaac Walton. thu
archetype and patron saint OF th'
angler, over the follower Of the hunts
mans trail may be many anC
varied. The principal reason, how
ever, is probably because, In addition
to being a more fascinating and les
exhaustingly strenuous sport thai
hunting, it is much easier and cheape
for a man to take day of from hi
work and go-a-fishing In a nearo.
trout stream, than 1t is for him .

tions where the game birds and AMI
mails abound.

Big Hatch at Krebs Farm.

With l4OO baby chickens running at
large and the incubators "peeping"
with 1000 more at the Krebs- Reynolds
Poultry and Pigeon Farm the three
chicken tenders are said to have been
"going some" Of late. While this is
not the first season Of phenomenal
matches at the farm, 1t is by far the
most successful, as the chickens have
fiourished from the beginning OF the
Matching season, and the hatch OF
1000 next week has already been sold
and will be delivered one day after
Matching. Local people are the pur-
chasers, attesting more than anything
else could do to the faith that has

APPROPRIATION ENJOINED
Preparations Made To Contest Con-
struction of The Crater Lake
Road.

L. Ell. McMahan, acting as attorney
for J. X. Sears, of Mccoy, Polk county,
and other taxpayers Tuesday filed in
Department No. Of the Circuit Court
for Marion County, complaint in an
action to enjoin State Treasurer G. A.
Steele from paying out the 100000
authorized by chapter 19l, laws of 1909.
for building the Crater Lake high
way. Discussing the case Monday
night, Attorney McMahan said: "The
action OF the Legislature in appropri-
ating this money was plainly uncon-
stitutional. Governor Lord in his opin-
ion in the case Of Maxwell vs.. Tilla-
nook county, said that any law appro-
priating money for highway within
county or district Is unconstitutional.
1t is planned to take this 100000 out
of the general fund of the state and
make the entire state pay for a local
road In Southern Oregon. It is law
less proceeding and I do not believe
the Supreme Court will stand for II"
In the Tillamook county case it was
held that the appropriation to build
road in that county violated the con-
stitution by calling for the construc-
ton of road In special locality. In
writing the opinion Judge Lord en-
phasized especially the point that the
benefits derived from the construction
of the proposed road would be purely
local and would fall only to those who
resided along the proposed route.
II the Crater Lake road case Is
carried to the Supreme Court for final
adjudication, as is undoubtedly the
intention Of those opposing the road
at this time, it will hold up active
operations toward carrying out the
provisions of the act for at least IL
months and possibly longer. An at
torney from Ontario came up to Salem,
Tuesday, to take possession OF the
warrant, but Mr.. McMahan declares
that the step will not prevent him
from enjoining the state treasurer
from paying the money on the war
rant or from enjoining the county
from authorizing the construction oil
the road.

WORK ON WATER SYSTEM
Company Will Build New Machine
Shop and Install Many Needed
improvements.

The construction work on the new
reservoir west of Dallas is now COM
pleted and only the hardening OF the
coating of cement and concrete is
needed to make it ready for use.
W. L. Soehren, superintendent OF the
Dallas Water Company, says that II
all conditions remain favorable, the
cement will have hardened properly
by the end of next week and that after
that time the new reservoir can be put
into use at any time 1t becomes
necessary.
The reservoir would have been
finished nearly two weeks ago, but
after the concrete work had all been
put in, it was discovered that there
was a serious leak in the connection
between the newly constructed reser-
voir and the old one. In repairing
this, it was necessary to tear up por-
ton of the concrete and replace it
after the leak had been stopped.
No main is to be run direct from
the new reservoir to the city, but it
will be used more as supplementary
storage basin to insure safe reserve
fund Of water in case of fire or other
occurrences that are liable to cause
sudden and heavy drains of the city g
water supply. At some later date, the
main may possibly be transferred to
the new reservoir and the entire water
supply of the city be drawn directly
therefrom.
The work OF installing water meters
is being carried forward as fast as
meters can be secured, although the
water company is considerably ham
pered by its inability to secure all thai
are needed Immediately. About l2t
have already been installed and
shipment of rs is on the road from
New York. The Neptune Meter Com
pany of New York, from which thu
meters are secured is so overcrowdet
with orders that the demand cal
scarcely be met and the machines
have to be shipped in small install
ments to the customers, as they ar
manufactured.
The meter rate announced by Super
intendent Soehren, which is to go int
effect on June /. will be 80 cents pc
1000 gallons, with a minimum rate o
,, $l.25. This rate, it ls claimed, allow
. an ample supply of water for irriga
: tion purposes and for general use a
a comparatively light rate.
Another improvement soon to b
made by the Water Company, is tn
replacing of its present shop, whic
has been in use since the system wa
installed, with new and modernl
: equipped machine shop, which wi
|. make the repair work necessary
keep the system in good condition
much easier and cheaper to accom-
, plish than heretofore.
A new building rs by 100 feet will
built near the site of the shop now
use. A new power drill press, lath
a high speed cutoff saw and othe
up-to date machines are to be installe'
The power is to be furnished by ele
tricity and a new 10 horse-powt
motor has been ordered. The old dil
> ping plant is to be discarded and r.
|" placed by new and thoroughly MOI
ern plant, which will greatly simplii
the handling OF the repair work on o.
y pipes and the preparation OF new pill
ing for use.
