he had been confined to his bed for
two weeks with what was supposed to
be light attack OF typhoid fever, but
complications have arisen and he is
in a very critical condition. He is re-
ported to be paralyzed and unable to
talk but the physicians have not given
up all hope of his recovery. Besides
having the best medical experts in
Portland, his brother-in-law, DR.. II.

on the brain was the cause of the
paralysis, but the latest report is that
il is typhoid with serious complica-

POULTRY MEN MEET
Lay Extensive Plans For Next Annual
ShOw-Dates Are Brought For
ward Two Weeks.

The Executive Committee of the Polk
County Poultry Raisers' Association
met in the Courthouse, Saturday, and
outlined the work of the Association
for the coming summer, in prepara-
tion for the poultry show which will
be held next winter.
Owing to the fact that the State
Poultry Shows dates have been
brought forward to December SIS,
the local association deemed it best to
set its own dates earlier than last year,
so as to keep the county show two
weeks before those Of the State Show,
as they have always been in the past.
The dates set are accordingly, Novem-
Der 1926, period of four days
Elmer Dixon, of Oregon City, who
has served in most satisfa ctory
manner as judge of the exhibits dur
ing the last two years has again been
selected for the work. The matter of
badges and prizes will be definitely set
tied sometime during the present
month, as will also the matter OF pre-
pairing the catalogue for the next
show.
Although up to the present time the
Show has always been held in Dallas,
the matter Of shifting it about from
year to year was brought up and SER
iously discussed Saturday. Those
in favor of the new plan claimed that,
inasmuch as the Show is country in
stitution and not purely local affair,
every town in the county should in
turn be given an opportunity to reap
such benefits as might come from
holding the Show in it. 1t was sug-
gested that the next show be held in
Independence and definite action on
the subject will be taken at the next
meeting, which will be held within
the next three weeks.

ing Evening.

The first Annual Inspection Of Com
pany H., Fourth Infantry o. N. G..
was held in the Armory. Friday night
by Major McGlachliD, who had come
up from Vancouver, Washington for
that purpose.
A number of the citizens of Dallas
were present and the work Of drill
and inspection was watched with
great interest. The members Of the
company were all present, with the
exception of few who were kept away
by unavoidable circumstances, and
drawn up, fully equipped in heavy
marching order, they made very
creditable showing.
The inspection of arms was passed
rapidly, everything being found in
excellent conditions, with bat few ex-
ceptions. The inspection Of the rolls
followed the results being equally sat
isfactory. The company, although
working at times under considerable
disadvantage, has made great pro-
gress during the few months since its
organization and bids fair to make
an even more rapid advancement in
the future.
A campaign for additional member
ship will be begun and carried on Wig
orously in the near future and such
q ra tho n Il Won't n voc sooiul opd otbor
wise, that the company is able to offer,
that a large increase in its member
ship is anticipated.
On Saturday evening following the
Inspection night, highly successful
dancing party, arranged and given
by the Social Committee under the
auspices Of the company, was held.

LIBRARY BOARD MEETS
Elects officers, Settles Length OF
Terms And Lays Plans For
Future Work.

A business meeting Of the Library
Board, recently appointed by Mayor
A. B. Muir, was held in the Reading
Room of the Dallas Free Library,
last night, considerable business both
in routine and in special work being
transacted.
M. M. Ellis, appointed temporary
chairman by the Mayor, was unan-
imously chosen permanent chairman
of the board, the remaining members
drawing lots, according to the state
law, to determine the length of term
for each. The three year terms
fell to J. G. Van Orsdel and M. M.
Ellis, the two year terms to Mrs. f. H
Morrison and Mrs. George Gerlinger
and the one year terms to Hon. U. s.
Loughary and r. E. Williams.
Mrs. George Gerlinger was chosen
secretary and Mrs. F. H. Morrison
treasurer of the board, Mrs. Gerllnger
being also elected Librarian to serve
without salary. She will have as a
paid assistant, however, Miss Jennie
Muscott, who has for the past two
years capably filled that position.
The treasurer's report shows that,
unless the remainder of this years
half mill appropriation be paid over
by the city council, the Library Board
will have to face a considerable deficit
at the close OF the fiscal year, April l.
Since the council has already paid
over portion Of the appropriation, it
was the consensus Of opinion Of the
board members that the payment of
the remainder could not, in justice, be
refused. Unless it is paid, however
the board, instead of having small
margin to its credit at the end of the
year, will have to devise means of
meeting a deficit. This phase of the
question will be considered at the
next meeting which will be subject to
the call OF the chairman OF the board.

are certainly making great record

are played on strange courts and in
some cases under rules that are new
and also that many OF the teams try
to defeat them regardless Of fairness
or science. l believe their playing so

Oldest Horse in Oregon Is Dead.

The Oldest horse in Oregon died on
January 81 at the old Captain Kelley
home in Burns, Oregon, where the
animal has had the most tender care
since the death of his old master few
years ago. This Indian pony was
once the property Of Captain Jack. "
the Indian fighter of Lava Beds
fame, and was captured among other
ponies, by a company Of soldiers Of
whom Captain Harrison Kelly, then
of Jackson County, was the com
mander, and was presented to Cap
tain Kelley in the Spring Of 1873,
being then nearly seven years old,
making him at the time Of his
death nearly 4S years old. The
animal was evidently Of royal
Indian pony blood, as he was remark
able for endurance, superior intelli-
gence and a gait that was very easy
for his rider Up to short time before
Captain Kelley's death he rode the
pony quite often, but Of late years the
animal has been a privileged charac-
ter, roaming at will during the Spring
and Summer, and receiving careful
attention during the Winter. Oregon

VALUABLE LANDS
Court Holds Cleveland Had No
Right to Lease Roadway.

Columbus. o., Oct. 1S.--By n de.
cision of the Franklin county circuit
court the state is held to be the
owner of property in the heart OF
the city of Cleveland valued at $5,-
100000, and occupied by the Cleve.
land Terminal and Valley railroad
and the Baltimore e Ohio railroad.
This property was leased to the Val.
ley Railroad company, OF which the
two railroads mentioned are the sue
cessors, by the city council of Cleve-
land, on Nov. 3, 1879, for period OF
80 years, with the privilege OF renew
ing the lease forever.
BY act OF the legislature the state
gave the property TO the city to be
used as a public highway, and Il
brought suit TO recover the land on
the ground that the city, by failing
to comply with the terms of the
grant. had forfeited its right to the
property, and thus could not convey
II to the railroad company.
The case was started by Former
Attorney General Wade II. Ellis
early in 1908, and was taken up by
Attorney General Denman after he
took office last January.

EDITORS WIN FIRST
ROUND OF BATTLE
Need Not Go to Washington to
Be Tried For Libel

Indianapolis, Ind. Oct 19.-Judge
A. b. Anderson OF the United States
court of this district dismissed the
proceedings against Delavan Smith
and Charles II. Williams, proprietors
of the indianapolis News, who were
resisting removal to the District of
Columbia for trial under grand
jury indictment charging them with
having committed criminal libel in
publishing articles alleging that there
was corrupt profit of $2S000 900 In
the sale of the Panama canal TO the
United States.
"That man has read the history Of
our institutions too little purpose"
said Judge Anderson in concluding
his decision, who does not view
with apprehension the success of
such a proceeding as this to the end
that citizens could be dragged from
their homes to the District Of Colum-
bia, the seat of government, for trial
under the circumstances Of this case.
The defendants are discharged"
Continuing, the Judge said: 81 am
OF the opinion that the fact that GER
tain persons were called thieves
and 'swindlers' does not constitute
libel per Sc. A newspaper has Ger.
tain duty to perform. AS former
president has said, 1t is the duty Of
a newspaper to print the news and
to tell the truth about it. Il is the
duty of a newspaper TO draw infer
ences for the people"
The court then briefly reviewed
the history of the canal zone deal,
intimating that there were many pc
culiar circumstances about the whole
business, and placing particular
stress upon the action Of William
Nelson Cromwell in refusing to an
swer certain questions when called
before the senate investigating COM
mittee.
