Crowds Large.

With record breaking crowds in at

fruit. the Seventh Annual Cherry Fair
at Salem which closed on Saturday,
is declared to have been the most
successful of any. AS usual Polk
county growers carried off the ma
iority of the prizes and made the fair
q snccess but, for the first time since
the affairs have been held this county
received credit, in some of the news
paper dispatches, for their displays
rather than insisting that Salem
growers won the prizes" as has here
to-fore been done. 1t Is noticeable
however, that Salem newspapers are
10th to give credit where credit is due
but as usual try to hog all the honors
for the Capital City.

BIC STEAM ENGINE
IS SUCCESS
ADAMS REPLACES GASOLINE EN-
CINE WITH STEAMER.
Former Engine Fails 10 Haul Loads;
New Machine Has No Trouble
and Climbs Grades With Ease.

Following a month or more OF
strenuous endeavor with big gaso-
line tractor in efforts to coax the
roaring monster to haul four or five
loads of crushed rock at one time
from the city rock crushing plant
northwest of town to the city, Ralph
Adams abandoned the attempt ana
has substituted steam road engine
which arrived Saturday night. Mon
day the engine was used the Hrst
time and at the initial attempt walk
ed away with three big wagon loads
of gravel. and did it with less noise
and buster than the gasoline AFFAIR
expended in hauling half that num-
Der. IT negotiated the "tannery
hill" with it's load and never lost mo-
ton nor slipped a cog.
Street Work Retarded.
street work in Dallas has been re-
tarded somewhat It is claimed, by
the failure of the former engine to
work properly and last week II was
found necessary to employ teams 10
haul rock from the quarry. The gas
oline engine seemed too light for the
work and simply shook itself TO
pieces. 1t is said that pieces OF the
machine are strewn from the city to
Tho rock quarry. Mr.. Adams has
been doing his best to make the AZ
fair work properly but found 1t impos-
sible 10 do so hence the change.
All Of which goes to prove that as
a utility proposition, the steam en-
pIne has the snorting gasoline mon
ster beaten a city block.

Charged with larceny from
dwelling, r. Baker was bound over
to the December term OF the POLK
county circuit court following a pre-
Iiminary examination on Saturday
before ESQUIRE Holman. The pris-
oner protested his innocence and de-
MED ALL knowledge OF the crime.
The complaining witness was Rob-
ert f. Loe, who lives about four
miles east of the city. Loe alleged
that while the family was tempor-
arily absent from his home on We'd
nesday of last week, that someone
entered the dwelling and stole re-
volver and watch. EIe says that
he noticed a party lettering along
the road near the house on the day
in question and at once came 10 the
conclusion that he had taken the ar
tlcles He came to Dallas Thursday
and about o'clock, notified SheriH
Grant of the theft. Three hours lat
er Baker was safe in the Polk county
tail. He was located through an at
tempt which he made to sell the re-
volver at Watson's second hand store
on Main street finally pawning II
for 81.
After his arrest Baker denied an
knowledge of the crime declaring
that he had purchased the revolver
from man In Corvallis, although
Mr.. Watson says he told him he had
bought It in Salem. No trace was
found Of the missing watch and tie
prisoner says he knows nothing about
n Although questioned several
times he sticks to his original story.
The revolver has been Identified bF
I,oe as his property. He was bound
over under $500 bonds which he has
50 far been unable 20 furnish. Baker
claims 10 be English and Is about 80
years Of age.

Night Policeman Dave Grant ana
asked for bed in the JAN declaring
that he was dead broke. lie remain
cd around town the next day ana
when I.oe reported the theft to the
