LEGISLATIVE JOBS ATTRACT


Several aspirants for the different
desk positions in the Senate and House
are pressing their claims among the
members of the Legislature. These
positions pay from $4 to $40 day
and always are eagerly sought. The
fact that as a rule more or less politi-
cal pull is necessary to land one of
these jobs, does not deter a small host
of applicants from entering the con-
test every two years
The successful candidates for these
positions generally are chosen in eau
Gus in the same manner as the Presi-
dent of the Senate and the Speaker of
the House In the absence of a cau-
Gus, the candidates take their fight to
he floor of the Senate, where the
members of each house select their
officers.
To date candidates have appeared
Cor the different positions as follows:
Senate-Chief clerk, e. H. Flagg of
of Columbia County; journal clerk,
George N. Farrin, of Coos, and ]. E.
Hunt, of Marion; reading clerk, Frank
Motter, of Multnomah; calendar clerk,
Roy Ritner, of Umatilla; mailing
clerk, Elbert Warford, of Linn.
House-Chief clerk, w. F. Drager, of
Marion; journal clerk, Gordon E.
Moores, of Multnomah; reading clerk,

clerk, Robert Nelson, of Linn, and

COURT HOUSE ROSES BLOOM
Mild Climate Encourages Flowers
While East Shivers in Billiards.

Recent press dispatches from the
East telling of severe cold and bliz-
yards serve to call attention to the ex-
tremely mild and pl -esant weather
which has prevailed here during this
Fail and Winter. Dallas and Polk
County people have become so accus-
toned to it that they cease to appre-
ciate it until they make comparison
with less favored localities.
Roses are still seen blooming cheer
fully out of doors. Visitors to the
Court House stop and admire the
beautiful and firm buds growing on a
number of Papa Gontier rose bushes
there. Milo V. Woods, janitor of the
Court House, who takes great pride
in his thrifty roses, says that this is
there that buds have appeared at this
season of the year, the first being three
years ago. A few days ago he sent a
number of buds to friends in Port
land, just to show them that the me-
tropolis was not the only rose city on
the map. His method of preparing
them for shipment is rather unique.
The end of each stem is inserted in a
potato, enabling them. Mr.. Woods
says, to be shipped long distances in
good condition. Two or three weeks
ago he sent a number of buds packed
in this manner to Chicago with good
results.

NOTED MUSICIANS COMING
Engagement Extraordinary Announce
ed For Wednesday, January IL.

Dallas will highly appreciate the in
PRODUCTION of the recital to her music
and art lovers. More especially graf
flying is the presentation of such brill
liant and famous artists as Mr.. F. c.
Wallace is bringing to this city on
Wednesday, January II.
Pauline Miller-Chapman has achiev-
ed her international popularity as one
of the foremost mezzo-sopranos dra-
matte. For years she studied under
the most skillful vocal instructors in
Italy and Germany, after which she
! toured the principal cities of Europe,
appearing before the most critical and
exacting audiences and receiving their
generous approval everywhere.
Immediately upon her return to
America she stepped into the first
ranks of concert singers, winning the
great audiences of our Eastern cities
by the matchless beauty of her sweet
tones and the dramatic favor of her
Interpretation of the roles of the
greatest composers.
Mr.. M L. Bowman began his pro-
fessional career as an actor. While
enjoying splendid success, his aspira
tions looked to the operate stage for
the fulfillment of his ideals. His mar
velous vocal power and expression
soon won him recognition, and Henry
w. Savage rendered him a contract to
tour the country as leading basso. He
appeared in all the chief cities of the
country under Mr.. Savage's manage
ment for four years, and enjoyed mag
nificent triumphs everywhere. Desir-
ing to enter recital and concert work,
which gives the fullest scope to the
artists power, he has left the pleas
ant and desirable field of opera and
the management of Mr.. Savage, to
pursue the art of music. His appear
ance in recital permits his auditors to
enjoy the highest form of musical en-
tertainment from one of the worlds
greatest bassos.
Mr.. William H. Boone has long been
the idol of American music lovers His
popularity with the elite of Newport
brought many calls for his piano and
organ recitals in the great social
events of New York and Boston and
established his career among the most
famous musicians of the country. His
work on either the piano or organ is
full of dash and brilliancy. He blends
the tonal powers of the instruments
with the peculiar art and rare skill of
an accomplished mastero.
The artists will appear under the
auspices of the High School Societies
at the Methodist Episcopal Church in
Dallas, January II. It'll

Two lots Of extra choice California
steers brought respectively $3.50 and

a tendency to discriminate more close

PROTECTION OF TREES
METHODS OF GUARDING AGAINST
RAVAGES OF RODENTS.
j. w. Jenkins, Prominent Orchard.
ist of Bethel, Suggests
Remedies.

AS the acreage of fruit increases,
the question of preserving the young
trees from the possible depredations
of small animals becomes of great inn
portance, and the planter is compelled
to turn his mind to ways and means
of safeguarding his orchard. 1t has
been reported from several sources
that some damage is being done this
winter by the ravages of squirrels and
rabbits. j. w. Jenkins, proprietor and
manager of Bethel Heights Walnut
| Groves, large tract of fruit lands
near Mccoy, who has made a deep
study of horticulture, and who has
had great success m growing trees,
suggests the following preventives in
communication to the Observer:
"Sir Rabbit is strictly a vegetarian
Secure a few quarts of blood from
slaughter house, and with a brush or
cloth wash the trunks of the little
trees, and the rabbits will not disturb
them. The rabbits, or Belgian hares,
as the case may be, will run about
through the orchard, but they will not
touch a tree that has the scent of
blood upon it.
Squirrels do much more damage to
fruit trees in this section than rabbits.
They bite off the terminal bud from
the walnut, and gnaw and strip the
bark from other trees. I will set out
over 5000 trees this winter and spring,
and the loss from the depredations of
squirrels in the hills will be quite
heavy, unless they are killed as fast
as they appear on the premises. /
have tried various things as prevent
i've, but the only sure remedy I have
found is to kill the squirrel, which is
not always an easy thing to do.
Il poison them with tablets made as
follows: One quart of flour, one quart
of corn meal, one and a half cups of
sugar, two tablespoonfuls of salt. Dis
solve one-half ounce of strychnine in
warm water and mix it, with the in
gradients named, into stiff dough,
and roll it out to about the thickness
of pie crust. Cut this into waters
about half an inch square Drop two
or three of the waters into the squir-
rel holes, and along their runs and
about the trees near the fences
prefer this to poisoned wheat, because
it is cheaper, and, being soft, the
squirrels will not carry it to their dens
and bury it. 1t is also more effectual
Carbolineum has been recommend
ed, and l have tried it, but I have not
given it sufficient test to judge of its
of its merits or demerits. 1 hestated
to wash the trunks of valuable trees
with it full strength, for fear it would
injure the bark or kill the tree"
If any one has given this remedy a
thorough trial and can speak from ex-
perience as to its merits and it's ef-
feet on the bark of the young tree, a
word from them on the subject would r
be appreciated by many who are
troubled with the squirrel pest, and
the Observer will be glad to publish
the results of their experience.

GROWTH OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
New Books and Equipment Added
During Past Year.

The Dallas Public Library, in keep
ing with the developmentof the city,
made commendable advancement dur
ing the year 1910. Many facilities of
comfort and convenience were added
during that time, and the excellent
manner in which it has been man
aged has served to make it one of the
cherished institutions of the city.
Scarcely a town of similar size in Ore
gon can boast of having anything to
equal it. 1t is intended not for the
use of the people of Dallas alone, but
for those of the surrounding territory
as well, and as it's patrons increase
it's popularity becomes greater.
The growth has been such that it
will not be long before action must be
taken to provide a more commodlous
location. During the past year, there
were added to the equipment three
new book cases, one magazine rack,
large terrestrial globe, an up-to-date
card index catalogue, a number of
rugs, ornamental plants, etc, all of
which contribute to the usefulness
and attractiveness of the room.
During 1910 the number of callers
reached a total of 1852, and the
total circulation was 9616. New books
to the number of 254 were added,
making the aggregate number of vol
umes now in the library 1908. The
total circulation for 1909 was S770,
and the number of callers was 1876.
The regular monthly report for De-
cember, compiled by Miss Jennie Mus
colt, librarian. is as follows: Child
ren's books loaned. 9S5; fiction, 522;
non-fiction, 1S1; total number of books
borrowed, 1888; number Of callers,
1895; new borrowers cards issued, %.
