more strict and another to abolish and
repeal il altogether. Councilman A. g
Sugel offered an amendment which would
make It unlawful for a barber even TO
open his shop on sunday precluding any
further evasion of the law by giving
a man a haircut and then charging him
for some other service not mentioned spe-
officially in the law.
! The repeating ordinance was introduced
/ by Councilman l.. q. Johnson, who voted
against the original bill when II was
| passed. lie was prompted by the master
BARRIERS, who are contending through their
attorney, Stanley Rosewatcr, that they are
willing to give holidays, but want them In
rotation and different days of the week.
In that way the men would get off, but
customers would not be inconvenienced.
The proposed new laws viii he considered
I by the council in committee OF the whole
next Monday afternoon.
( Miss Anna Wilson submitted "A warranty
deed for her property on lower Douglas
street, which is to be used for emer
gency hospital and resolution was passed
by the council accepting the gift and
praisng the generosity of the donor. Miss
Wilson made her offer even more attrac-
tive to the city in an accompanying com
muncation I'm which she agreed to make
repairs amounting to $1,000, instead OF $500
as was at first promised and to wait until
January l before her rental of $l5 a month
is to begin. No Limitation is placed on
the city as TO selling the property and
devoting the proceeds to erecting a hos
pital in another place, but she asks that
all OF the money be kept devoted to that
purpose.
Omaha bidders Lowest.
Andrew Murphy Il Son, an Omaha firm,
were the lowest OF seven bidders on q
motor driven hose truck advertised for by
the Board of Fire and Police Commission
ers. Their price was A75O. and II awarded
the contract they will be the first Omaha
firm to get a contract for piece OF this
apparatus.
The veto OF Mayor Dahlman did not pre-
vent the council from opening an alley
Thirtieth and Park avenue. The mayor
stated in vetoing the proposition that four
property owners, Mary e. Heys, Herbert
A. Belt, Anna Griffith and Maria Dudgeon,
we're assessed benefits, although the alley
would cause them considerable damage
and force them to build retaining walls on
their property. The council voted to apA
prove the appraisement, only Funkhouser
and Davis standing with the mayor.

Turks IN
TINY BERRY
PORTLAND BABY EATS FATAL
FRUIT OF VIRGINIA CREEPER
Discovery Will Cause Thousands of
the Beautiful Clambering Vines to
be Uprooted.

The discovery of the fact that the
Virginia creeper berry is a pow
erful toxic was brought about by
the mysterious death of DR.. Alan
Welch Smiths 20-months old son
two weeks ago in Portland. The
death was attributed to acute bron-
chitis, but DIR. Smith, who is a mem
Der of the city health board, was
not satisfied with the cause given on
the death notice.
City Milk Chemist Galloway was
asked to make an analysis Of the
creeper berry. The milk chemist fed
dozen of the berries to a guinea
pig and the animal died 36 hours
later, exhibiting all the symptims
that had been observed in the case
of the infant. The vomit of the
child was also analyzed and found
to contain hundreds of the minute
spicules Of the deadly berry.
First Case Recorded.
Medical experts in this city say
that Chemist Calloway's experiment
is the first they know Of where a
human death has been shown to have
resulted from eating the berries of
the plant.
The Portland health board at its
next meeting will authorize the issu-
anee of a bulletin warning residents
of the city against the menace of
the beautiful plant which adorns so
many homes here, says the Journal,
and it is probable that thousands of
Virginia creepers will be torn down
and destroyed.

WILL PLANT BIG ORCHARD
Thousands Of Trees to be Set Out
Near Falls City.

FALLS CITY, Or, Oct. 21.-J. H.
Van Zant and A. ID. James, owners
of a 280-acre farm, two miles from
this city. will set out $4,000 fruit
trees. Pears, apples and peaches
will be planted, because these fruits
thrive well in this vicinity. Twenty
men and six teams will be employed
in cultivafing the land and setting
out the trees. The farm is located
in the rolling foothills of the Coast
Range
Fruit raising on an extensive scale
has proved very profitable and as a
result many ranch owners are plant
ing their farms in fruit Van Zant
and james own 500 acres in all, but
only 280 acres are suitable for eul-
tivafion: the balance will be set to
trees Is soon as it is cleared and
cultivated. Mr.. James, who owns
another farm. is extensively engaged
in the culture of English walnut
trees. Last year he planted 5000
cherry trees and 5000 walnut trees
on this place.

all these gentlemen did yeoman ser
vice, and The Observer acknowledges
its great appreciation.
To Gather Data.
During this week, representatives
will call on the other towns in the
county, as well as on a number Of
the larger breeders of blOoded stock
for the purpose of obtaining data
for descriptive articles and illustra-
tiOns.
The Progress Edition will be de-
voted to Polk county as a whole,
and every substantial industry con-
tributing to the progress and pros
perity Of Polk county will be cover
ed therein.
The intention is to close the forms
not later than November 1 and all
copy should be in by that time to
insure its publication.

Rearing Of Wild Game Birds to Re
ceive Cooperation From Oregon
Authorities Who Are Willing to
Provide Eggs and Personal In
struction to Aid in Success.

The rearing Of wild game birds
suggests an industry that is practi-
cally unknown. Raising pheasants
is no more difficult than raising poul-
try, yet it is far more profitable
In the same measure that everyone
fails to succeed in the latter will
the facts demonstrate the former
There is wide market for pheas-
ants, and the demand originates in
all parts of the United tates.
Permit Required.
Under the Oregon law, pheasants
raised in captivity, whose wings
have been pinioned before they are
able to fly, may be sold directly to
the consumer, providing permit to
ship alive IS secured from the state
game warden. This law is definitely
set forth IN section 1925, Lord s Or
egon Laws, which is provisional
exception to section 23O4. The re-
cent fuss over serving China pheas-
ants at the presidential banquet in
Portland, October IL, arose over the
failure of the newspaper writers to
read the whole law. The statutes
would not have been overridden had
the pheasants been served, as a
plain reading of the law proves.
No Sale During Open Season.
Such law is a greater protection
to pheasants than if no such law
were on the books. 1t is unlawful
to sell birds during the open sea-
son, only during the closed, which
enables the game warden to keep a
perfect record of every bird that is
shipped in the state. 1t encourages
the rearing Of the birds, which is
benefit. In other words, an industry
is thereby created.
The state is willing to cooperate
with those who wish to raise pleas
ants, even to providing the eggs, in
struction as to rearing and personal
attention when required. Reeves
pheasants bring $25 for a trio, con-
sisting Of one male and two hens.
China pheasants sell readily for
$3.50 for cocks and from $500 to
$4.O0 for females.

The result of only two days work
in the progressive and prosperous
sister city is that the Progress Edi-
tion will contain a Falls City de-
partment of eight pages or more and
there will be no doubt in the minds

Edition of The Observer by Pho

scriptive Matter.

One of the most pleasing indiea-
tions of the interest which is being
taken in the Observers forthcoming
Progress Edition by the citizens of
Polk county generally is shown by
the splendid recognition given by the
business men and Commercial Club
of Falls City.
A representative of The Observer
spent two days in that hustling lit
tie city last week, and that the bus
mess interests there know a good
thing when they see it is amply evi-
deneed by the gOOdly number of or
ders which he brought back with him.
Readily Accepted
The proposition was submitted to
the Executive Committee of the Falls
City Commercial Club at a special
meeting called for that purpose and
the "live wires" who compose that
committee were so favorably i'm
pressed with its possibilities that
arrangements were Immediately made
for four pages Of space in the big
issue, to be occupied by Illustrations
and descriptive matter relative to
Falls City's resources and OppOrtu-
mites, and orders were also given
for the purchase Of 1000 copies Of
the Progress Edition for distribution
in the East.

quick to realize the value Of having
their own business represented IN an
issue Of this kind that viii have a
widespread circulation IN Polk

DAUGHTER OF CAPTAIN AND
MRS. v. P. FISKE, WHILE IN
SPOKANE, rs CALLED
TO REST.
Beautiful, Courageous and Cheerful
Life Comes to an End After Twelve
Years of Uncomplaining Suffering
Universally Admired for Her
Kindness and Fortitude.

Vivian Hester Fiske, the eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. V. P.
Fiske, died at the home of her aunt,
Mrs. W. p. Grubbe, in Spokane,
Wash, Friday, October 20, 1911, at
10 30 p. M, aged 26 years, 4 months
and 20 days. Her death was caused
by complication of ailments.
The news of the death of this
well-known and popular young wo-
man was received with great sad
ness in Dallas, where she was univer-
sally beloved and admired for her
many beautiful traits of character.
The news of her sudden departure
came as a surprise, for while it had
been known that she had been in del
icate health since her early girlhood,
no word had been received Of her
sudden change for the worse. Her
mother, who had gone to Spokane a
few days before to visit her, was
at her bedside when the end came.
Medical Skill Unavailing.
Miss Fiske was born i'll Dallas,
May 21, 1885. She enjoyed vigor-
Gus childhood and it was not until
she had reached the age Of IA years
that any indication of failing health
appeared. Her parents, quick to re-
alize her condition, gave her every at
tention and employed the best medi-
cal skill in the hope that her health
might be restored. The hope was
vain, however, and for the past
eleven years she had been constant
