NEW CENTRAL OFFICE
Local Telephone Exchanges Make
Marked Changes for Better.

When the extensive improvements
now under way are completed, Dallas
will have one of the best equipped and
most modern telephone offices in the
Willamette Valley. Carpenters and
painters are now putting the finishing
touches on the improved quarters in
the Williams block on Court street.
Hereafter the Pacific States Tele-
phone Company and the Independent
Telephone Company will have their
central offices in the same building,
the Independent switchboard having
been moved from the Stafrin drug
store yesterday.
The new telephone booths and the
partition separating the lobby from
the operators room are models of
beauty and superior workmanship.
The woodwork of the partition has
been given handsome golden oak fin
ish, the coloring and varnish used
bringing out the grain of the wood to
perfection. Glazed glass panels be-
tween the windows in the partition will
give the switchboard room an air OF
privacy, but at the same time will
provide an abundance OF light.
Work on the new switchboard will
be commenced at once. The central
energy system, in use in all of the
larger towns Of Oregon. will be INSTALL
ed. BY this system Of connection with
the main office, 1t will no longer be
necessary to ring central. as the mere
removal of the receiver from the hook
will accomplish the desired result
This improvement will be greatly ap-
preciated by every business man and
patron Of the company.
The work of remOdeling the central
Office and putting the wires in the city
in first-class condition is being done
under the personal supervision OF Gem
eral Manager c. b. Sundberg. NJ
Sundberg understands the telephone
business In its every detail and Is ar
ranging to give Dallas a service that
will be equal to the best in the state.
His desire to furnish the very best
service possible Is greatly appreciated
by the patrons Of the companies and
is sure TO result in a largely increased
business.

Barnum & Bailey Coming.

The Barnum & Bailey greatest show
on earth will visit Salem early in the
regular circus season of 1910. Official
announcement of this fact was made
Yesterday. This circus began its sea-
son at the Madison Square Garden,
New York, March "a, and the engage
ment there was the most remarkable
in the history of that city's amusement
affairs. The papers, without exception
declared the performance the best IN
every particular ever seen in the gar
den. and the 100000 people of the
metropolis were amazed by the new
and brilliant parade. The program is
remarkable for its thrilling feats.
There are no less than seven sure-fire
tbrilIers. There are 400 artists and l25
big acts. After a brief stay in the far
east the show will move direct for the
west. bringing the same complete or
ganization seen at Madison Square
Garden.

entire time to the work. 1t is not sur
prising that century and a quarter of
this kind of supervision has resulted
in the present chaotic condition of our
public roads. The reforms that should
take place will provide a comparative
ly small body of trained, competent
road builders devoting their entire
time to continuous road work.
Not only must the roads be built by
trained men, but they must be kept
in repair.
The road building era has already
begun. Already great strides have been
made in recent years toward bring
ing about these needed reforms in the
road laws and administrations, in pro-
viding more adequate revenues and in
devising methods of construction and
maintenance adapted to the require
ments of modern traffic.-Logan w.

When the last legislature adjourned,

LOSES one; Wins ONE
DALLAS OUTPLAYED BY FIELDER
JONES FARMERS.
Home Boys Defeat Willamette Uni
vePsity in Sensational Game
on Local Grounds.

The Dallas College baseball team
experienced its first defeat of the
season in game played with Fielder
Jones fast o. A. C. team at Corvallis,
the score at the end of the ninth inn
ing standing to in favor of the
Farmers.
The loss of the game to o. A. c. can
be attributed more to hard luck than
to poor playing. The game was prac-
tically lost in the first inning, when
Shaw became wild and allowed the
Corvallis boys to pile up four runs.
Dallas scored three runs in the same
inning.
After the fatal first inning, Shaw
settled down and pitched great ball
until the eighth inning, when two hits
were made and like number of runs
scored by the Aggies. Dallas made its
fourth run in the fourth inning.
The Dallas boys are not discouraged
by the showing made against o. A. c.,
for the state school has the strongest
college team in the Northwest. Fielder
Jones, the Corvallis coach, is rated as
one of the great ball players of the
United States. The people of Corval-
lis unhesitatingly pronounced the Dali
las team the fastest visiting aggrega-
ton that has played on the O.. A. C.
grounds this season.
Defeat Willamette University.
On Saturday afternoon, on the home
grounds, the Dallas boys partially
atoned for their loss at Corvallis by
defeating the Willamette University
by a score of 7 to 8.
The victory on the home grounds
may be credited to the good pitching
of Shaw and the fine support accorded
him by all members of the team. The
game was witnessed by a large crowd
and was full of sensational plays. In
one inning, Salem made a beautiful
play in which three Dallas men were
retired. The visitors were in the air
in the first inning and Dallas was per-
mitted to score four runs. Many err
rors were made by both teams. Walter
L. Tooze, Jr., officiated as umpire and
performed the duties of that exacting
position in a fair and efficient manner.

icism to offer. Neither should objec-
ton be heard from any other source,
for the reason that the vote of April
rs placed the selection of site solely
in the hands of the directors. We are
certain that the board, in selecting
the Howe property, acted for what it
considered the best interest of the dis
trict, and it is also certain that high
ly valuable tract of land was secured
at a reasonable cost.
That the Howe property is not
large enough for both High School and
public school purposes, we think all, in
cluding the directors themselves, will
agree. That the district should come
to the rescue and purchase the greatly
needed additional ground, while prop
erty in Dallas may still be bought at a
comparatively low price, seems too
apparent to admit of further argu-
ment.

LEG BROKEN BY FALL
MOTHER AND CHILD HURT IN
ACCIDENT AT OAKDALE.
Mrs. j. S. Macomber Escapes With
Severe BruiseS-Daughters Leg
Fractured Near Ankle.

While returning home from the
closing exercises of the Oakdale school
Friday afternoon, Mrs. ]. S. Macomber
and her S-year-old daughter were
thrown from a hack and painfully
injured Mrs. Macomber's hip was
badly bruised and one of her thumbs
was dislocated. The little girl es-
capped less fortunately, her left leg be-
ing broken by the fall. The accident
occurred on the Garwood hill. short
distance from the Macomber home.
In company with the family of o. e.
Dennis, Mrs. Macomber and children
were returning home from the school
house in Mr.. Dennis hack. While
driving down the steep hill near the
old Garwood place. one of the wheels
of the hack gave way and the vehicle
was overturned. All of the occupants
were thrown out and Mrs. Macomber
and daughter were pinned to the
ground by the bed of the hack. The
infant child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dennis and little son of Mrs. Ma
comber were Thrown clear of the
wreck and escaped with slight bruises,
Mr.. and Mrs. Dennis and other mem
bers of the party were pitched head
long into the road, but all escaped
injury except Mrs. Macomber and
daughter.
Mr.. Macomber was working in a
field near the road when the accident
occurred. Hearing cries for help
he hastened to the rescue. All of the
victims were found to have escaped
serious injury except the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Macomber. The
weight of the hack was resting on the
childs legs, and the combined strength
of the two men was required to move
the heavy vehicle.
After the little girl had been rescued
from her perilous position, she was
carried into the house and made as
comfortable as possible until Doctor
McCallon arrived from Dallas. An eX-
animation of the childs injuries re-
vealed the fact that her left leg had
been broken between the knee and
ankle. The broken limb was at once
placed in a plaster cast, and she is
now on the road to recovery. Mrs.
Macomber's bruises, while painful, are
not serious, and she will soon be able
to resume her household duties.

Everyone probably has wondered
why certain size paper, familiar to
all who write, Is called foolscap. AS
early as the year 1901 water marks
were employed by paper manufacturers
to distinguish their products One
grade of paper much in demand during
the Middle Ages, resembling what we
call fooIscap and known by that name,
had for Its water mark fools head
wearing cap and bells. The mark ap-
peared on this grade Of paper until the
middle Of the seventeenth century
when the figure of Britannia was sub
stitutea by the English manufacturers
and other marks by other papermak-
