MANY SAW PICTURES
Large Audience Hears Prince Illus.
trated Lecture on California"

An audience that crowded the
Courthouse to overflowing greeted
Frederick w. Prince in Dallas last
Friday night. Every seat in the big
courtroom was occupied, and many
sat within the railing and in the jury
box while enjoying the two hours
travel talk" on California"
Mr.. Prince is in the employ of the
Southern Pacific Company and his
lecture is a description of a tour over
the lines of that company in the states
of Oregon and California, with atten-
ton to the many places of scenic in
terest easily reached by short side
trips from the main line. He is an en-
tertaining talker, and his lecture
proved highly instructive to those of
his hearers who have never visited the
Golden State, while to those familiar
with it's attractions and beauties it re-
called many pleasant recollections and
associations.
The lecture was illustrated with a
wealth of handsome colored views,
taken largely from the Southern Pa
cifics booklet, THE Road of a Thous-
and Wonders" Many industries of
Oregon and California were also
shown by the aid of moving pictures.
The entertainment throughout was
pleasing and instructive and should
prove valuable advertisement for the
two great states as well as for the rail-
road company.

Returns from Spokane.

J. L. Brown arrived home Friday
from a business trip TO Spokane. He
says homeseekers are paying from
$400 to $500 an acre for fruit land in
Eastern Washington, when they could
come to Polk County and get better
soil for $50 an acre. He returns home
more firmly convinced than ever that
Oregon is the land of opportunity and
that it will enjoy a growth little
dreamed of by its present inhabitants
as soon as it's attractions and advan-
tages become better known in the
Eastern states. While in Spokane, Mr..
Brown enjoyed a visit with Judge
Henry Sullivan, a former Dallas boy.
He also called on King Tetherow and
Green Smith. Mr.. Smith is son of the
late Perry Smith and is employed as
head salesman in a large implement
house.

STATE OFFICERS AID
Send in Petition Asking Relief for
SiIetz Homesteaders.

To offset the activity of the Siletz
claim jumpers, who, since the intro
duction of the bill in Congress provid-
ing relief for the settlers, have been
flooding the mails with letters protest
ing against the passage of the meas
ure, the state officers of Oregon, have
forwarded to Washington a petition
setting forth the justice of the original
entrymen's prayer that the trespassers
be ousted and the claims passed to
patent The petition is headed by
Governor Benson and contains the
names of twenty-five other state and
county officers.
The petition, which follows in full,
was forwarded Saturday by Railroad
Commissioner Oswald West to Wash
ington. A copy was sent to each mem
ber of the oregon delegation, one to
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger and
one to the public lands committee:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States or
America, in Congress Assembled.
We, the undersigned, citizens OF the
state of Oregon, respectfully petition
that the bill for the relief of SiletZ
settlers, introduced by Senator Cham
berlain January "a, 1910, and by Con-
gressman Hawley January IT, 1910, be
speedily enacted into law, belieVlng
that Justice demands the passage OF
such a law, and further believing that
its provisions could not possibly harm
or injure any right or rights to which
any other person or persons are enti-
tied. an,

SHOT VICTIM TWICE
Ancient Grudge Leads to Shooting
Array In Salmon River Country.

News of a shooting affray came over
! the telephone wires from Salmon
River yesterday. The message was
sent to DR.. A. B. Starbuck, request
ing that he start at once for Salmon
River to attend to the injuries of the
| victim. Dr. Starbuck left at once for
the scene of the trouble, intending to
drive to the mountain ranch of Dave
Leno, and from there to proceed on
horseback to Bear Camp, to which
latter place the wounded man had
been taken.
Details of the shooting are very
meager, although the Observer has
made every attempt today to learn the
particulars. Information received over
the telephone from Sheridan, and lat
er verified from the store at Butler, is
to the effect that the row took place
early yesterday morning between two
settlers, Leonard Palm, aged so, and
Matt. Zettle, aged So. 1t is reported
that Palm shot Zettle twice with a
S8-caliber revolver-one shot taking
effect in the leg and the other just be-
low the heart.
The trouble occurred on the Slab
Creek road. Zettle had been to the
postoffice and was returning home
when he met Palm. A quarrel led to
blows and the shooting followed. 1t
is said that the wounds are serious,
but that Zettle may recover.
When the news of the affair reached
Dallas, it was feared by many that the
trouble might have been between some
settler and a claim jumper, but it ap-
pears that such is not the case. Our
informants say that both were old
settlers in the Salmon River country,
and it is probable that the row was the
result of an ancient grudge.
Further particulars of the affair
will not be available until DR.. Star
buck returns to the valley. The noun
tain roads are in bad condition, and
it is not believed that he will be able
to reach Dallas before late tonight or
early tomorrow morning. His return
will also be largely governed by the
condition in which he finds his pa
tient.

SCARES BOLD ROBBER
Governors Private Secretary Finds
Burglar in His Room.

Genial Pat" McArthur's house wa,
entered late Wednesday night and his
pank roll taken, therefore the smil.
ing secretary of the governor will have
10 curtail on his grocery and meal
pliis Tor some time, to catch UP in his
weekly ante to his reserve account al
the pank, says the Salem Statesman
rat went to see the girls in the
snow Wednesday evening and re.
turned home short time after the
curtain went down. When he left the
mouse, earlier in the evening, he had
turned the light out in a spare guests
room. On returning home, he saw a
bright light in the window of this
room and the shadow of a man mov-
ing back and forth behind the curtain,
ShlVering with fright he didn't know
what to do until young man also re-
turning from the show with his girl
happened along Court street. Stopping
this man, he had him watch the house
while he ran across the street to the
state house and, tearing through the
building, he found Nightwatchman
John Slattery. He told Slattery of the
bold robber and John hunted up an
old gun that is kept in the Capitol
building for appearance sake. The two
started with stealthy steps for the
scene of action. Passing along the low
er floor light was seen in Head Jan
itor Rockwell's rooms. Tearing Rock
well away from an after-theater smoke
they made for the street.
After consultation big John, with
the gun, slipped into the house, Pat
watching at the front door and Rock
we'll at the back. Making his way to
the second floor he went from room to
room but all was empty. The robber
had escaped The front door had been
guarded and there was watch dog at
the back door, but on walking around
the house Pat found that there was
also side door and that was open
and the man was now outside and Civ
ing him the laugh. He dismissed his
brave crew and boldly entered his own
house.
The robber had turned things top
sy-turvy in G. N. s room, and took a
few nickles and dimes that he was
saving up for the next dance, and in
Mrs. McArthur's room everything in
the dresser and about the room was
ransa cked.

Dallas Wins from Multnomah in Fast
Basketball Game.

In the fastest and most interesting
basketball game played on the Dallas
floor this year, the Dallas boys won
from their old rivals, the Multnomah
Club team, Saturday night by score
of 21 to 16. The loss of this game was
Multnomah's first defeat this year,
Dallas having lost the first game,
played in Portland few weeks ago, by
score of Is to 13.
The contest Saturday night was wit
messed by a crowd that filled every
available foot of seating and stand
ing room in the big gymnasium. At
no stage of the game were the Port
land boys able to show the team work
and fast play put up by Dallas. At the
end of the first half, the score stood %
to 10. The tie was partly due to few
questionable decisions of the referee
and the poor basket throwing of the
home team. In this half, nine fouls
were called on Dallas and four on
Multnomah. In the second half, with
the referee working better, Dallas took
the lead and maintained it until the
end of the game.
For Multnomah, Barton and Morris
played the best game, while for Dallas,
Captain Ballantyne and Fenton made
all of the points. Ballantyne made Is
out of the 81 points scored by the
home team. The lineup:
