'MlLlTIAMEN IN VAUDEVILLE
Attractive Performance by Local Tai
ent Next Thursday Evening.

.Rehearsals which have been going
completed, and Company FL is ready
| to give its big vaudeville show Thurs
day evening. The curtain will rise
promptly at $3.50 p. m. Reserved seats
are now on sale at Stafrins drug store.
There will be a lively scramble for
| them, and all who desire good seats
! should go early and reserve them
This show promises to be the best
of it's kind ever attempted in Dallas.
No pains have been spared to make it
a complete success. There is a laugh
in it every minute. Any one dissatis-
fled with the show, and who believes,
after seeing it, that he has not secured
his moneys worth, can have the price
of admission refunded at the ticket
office.
The program is well balanced, and
will run about two hours. Specialties
by Mr.. Billy Lloyd, "The Three Tum-
blers" and by Gates, Greenwood and
Mrs. Tooze are particularly good. The
minsrel act is of high class, and the
finding of "Mirandy" by Hiram" is
going to furnish enough amusement
to repay anyone for going.
This is the first time Company H
has tried anything of this kind. The
carnival given by them last fall was a
huge success, and this vaudeville
promises to eclipse the carnival for
interesting situations and mirth-pro
voking stunts.
Music for the occasion will be fur
nished gratis by the Dallas band. This
will beua treat in itself. Watch for
the band parade on Thursday after
noon. Don't fail to go to the vaude-
vile show. 1t is being given by the
members of Company HI, for the pur-
pose of raising funds with which to
defray the expenses incidental to the
campaign for an armory, and also to
raise money with which to pay their
share of the contribution being made
for the purpose Of purchasing lot
upon which to place the armory.
Remember the date: Next Thurs
day evening, at $3.50 sharp. Reserved
seats now on sale at Stafrin's drug
store. Get your seats early. This
will positively be the best show of the
season.
On the following evening the per-
formance will be presented in Falls
City.

The most successful horse show
Salem has ever held came to a close

PORTLAND, April S.-Receipts for
the week have been as follows: Cat
tie 1889, calves 6S, hogs 1879, sheep
1898, and horses Al.
Scarcity in cattle receipts continues
and prices show a corresponding up
ward tendency. While prices received
are practically the same as the pre-
ceding week, the quality of stuff re-
ceived, as whole, was not good. The
top on good, well-finished steers, hay
fed remains steady to firm at $6.75,
with a stiff demand. Cows sold all
the way from " to cents, with the
call for the better grades, and buyers
willing to pay well for quality. The
veal market came into the limelight
again, with a jump of rs cents per
hundred, making the top on light
calves 1915, with plenty of takers.
The bull market is firm with best
grades selling at cents.
The hog market held it's own dur
ing the past week and showed an ad-
vance of cents per hundred, top now
being $3.50 for best well-finished hogs
weighing about 200 pounds. Local
and Eastern receipts were compare
lively heavy.
Demand for sheep is steady with
gradual advance in prices, demand ex-
ceeding the supply by at least one
half. Spring lambs continue in de-
mand at 10 cents, ewes at $3.50 to
$4.75, heavy wethers $4.75 to IS,
lighter grades IS to $5.25 and heavy
lambs $3.50 to Sc with dock of so
cents per hundred on sheared sheep.
The horse market continues firm
with an increasing demand for draft
horses. Delivery horses and drivers
are also wanted as the spring ad-
vances.

follows: Steers, s6.S5 to se.75; calves,
$3.50 to ss.75; bulls. $3.50 to IS; cows,
s3.25 to s6; spring lambs. $5.25 to-

UNUSUAL DROUTH is ENDED
Farmers Can Plow and F'ruitmen Lose
Fear of Frost.

After a long period of dry weather,
year, has not been equaled in the an
nails of the United States weather bu-
reau at Portland, the wind shifted to
the southwest Saturday evening and
by Monday morning the ground was
well soaked with a most welcome
rain. For some time the farmers in
the uplands have been compelled to
forego plowing, as the lack of moist
ure in the ground made it impossible.
In the valley country the drouth was
not so apparent, and cultivating was
not stopped.
Aside from putting the soil in a
better mechanical condition, the rain
will be of great benefit to all farm
crops, and especially to garden stuff.
The early spring allowed gardening
operations to commence sooner than
usual this year, and many of the fa-
miliar standbys in vegetables have
been up" for some time. With good
rain and probable warmer weather
growth will be rapid and the house,
wife will soon be able to get a meal
without worrying what to cook" and
the monotony of canned fruit will
give way before the appearance of
choice hand-picked sass" of various
satisfying sorts.
The dry weather has permitted early
working of the hop fields and most of
them are in an advanced state of cul-
tBre for this time of the year. The
majority of the yards have been plow-
ed and cross-plOwed, and in some
cases the ground has been leveled.
The young hop shoots are coming up
and "grubbing" will soon be neces-
sary

- A great many Of the counties are
holding county fairs and from the
newspaper accounts the fairs this year
have been successful. Many years ago
Newberry had splendid fair, which
was kept up for several years. 1t was
probably never a financial success, but
the attendance was always good, and
the exhibits were good, and the peos
pie got together and were encouraged
to better farming. 1t would be easier
to make a successful fair now in New
berry than 1t was then. We have Of
ten wondered why our enterprising
pitizens did not revive the old fair idea
and have a fair in Newberry.

thing that would warrant the asser-
ton that there was breach Or that
Gov. Blease would oppose Senator

The county of NeWberry is not pay
ing current expenses now, for the rea-
son that there is no money. The leg
islature has been. following the I'M
business-like method of not providing
sufficient revenue with which to
meet the current expenses of the coun-
ty. In fact, we understand that the
revenue provided lacks about five
thousand dollars annually of being
sufficient to meet the expense account.
It will not take long at this rate
for the county to be pretty deep in
debt. It will have to be paid. Then
why Lot make the levy sufficient to
raise the money necessary to pay the
actual expenses of the county. There
was a tir1e, lossibly, when the people
could be fooled by telling them you
had either not increased the levy or
that you had reduced it and thereby
reduced taxes. They can't be fooled
now. They know the only way to re-
duce taxes is to reduce expenditures
and unless this is done nothing is
gained by putting off the day of reck-
oning-the day Of debt paying. Then
it is better for the county to be run on
cash basis.

w. Robert Foran, late of the
British army. who was with Theodore
Roosevelt on his big African expedi-
ticn, recently had the following to
say of the ex-president, which, by the
way illustrates just why the great
American is so popular with healthy,
normal men:
Roosevelt has been accused of
using unsportsmanlike tactics in Sc.
curing his immense African collec-
ton, but, politics aside, allow me to
say as member of that party that
never during the whole trip did | see
the former president of this nation
unwilling to take an even chance
with any humble guard in securing
some desired specimen. And further.
after one year of observing under
many trying circumstances, will
say that in any game played by and
led by that man | would gladly fol-
low, knowing that it would be in
fairness to all concerned"
