PLANT SOON FINISHED IMPROVEMENTS AT Mill
Dallas Lumber and Logging Compa-
ny Keeps Pace With Increased
Business and Modern Methods.

That the Dallas Lumber ana Log
ging company is abreast of the tlnes
and finds need to increase its capac-
ity, is evidenced by the fact that a
new planer will be installed next
week in their big plant in this city.
The new modern dry kiln is practi-
cally ready for use and is decla'Gd to
be one Of the best in Oregon. rhe
company also will install an electric

SATURDAY TO CONSIDER
SOME IMPORTANT
QUESTIONS.
MUST HAVE 100 BIRDS
Valuable Prizes offered by State Fair
Stimulates Competition; Associa-
ton May Also Exhibit at County
Fair; to Issue Advertising Booklet
Soon.

That the Polk County Poultry as
sociation is planning an exhibit at
the coming state fair, and that every
effort will be made to install one that
shall be a credit to the county and
maintain its position at the head of
its class, is evidenced by circular
letter issued to the members by Mrs.
Winnie Braden secretary, calling
meeting at the court house in Dallas
on Saturday, August TO- at which
time the matter will be discussed and
an effort made to make a creditable
exhibit, The matter of making an
exhibit at the coming school and in
dustrial fair, to be held in Dallas, will
also be taken up at that time.
Means Much Work.

a county exhibit at the oregon State

is necessary to enter at least 100 birds
in order to compete for prizes. 1t viii
mean great deal of strenuous work
for us to secure the required number
and to get all of the members togeth-
er to decide upon the question. we
have called a meeting at the court
room of the court house for Saturday.
August 10, at 1880 p. M, and we hope
that all of the members that are able
to do so will attend or send in their
report to the secretary"
Casn Prizes.
Prizes are cash this year and win
be well worth working for, State fair
catalogues and prize lists can be Sc
cured by writing to Frank Meredith,
Salem, Oregon, and | wish all the
members could have one. The in
ducement to exhibit would be much
greater If all members might read of
the valuable premiums offered.
The soliciting for the catalogue
and prize list booklet has been far
more successful than we expected IT
to be. We have already reached the
$50 mark and have been promised
several local ads. which will advance
our funds to at least $50. The book
lets will be illustrated with local cuts
of prize birds and will contain a list
OF the trophies offered for the finest
fowls. Local ads. of Dallas business
men will fill an important factor i'm
the composition of the booklets. and
about 200 will be distributed at the
state fair, which will serve as an ad-
vertlsement for Dallas individually
as well as for the whole of Polk
county"

That the recent rumpus in the Or

mutiny of five officers during the ma
neuVers at Gate, Wash, has dCGenor-
ated into a mere tempest in 4 teapOr,

superior officers, have been renstated,
and the orders pronouncinS the dis
banding of the Second battalion, and
the subsequent order by Colonel Poor

been allowed to slumber peacefully
Scandal Bubble Punrtured.
The alleged action Of the men at
Gate was made the occasion for the
use of much space in the newspapers,
and military men appeared TO he
greatly concerned over the blow"
dealt to Oregon's citizen scld'ery by
the "mutinous" officers. There was
great hue and cry from one end of
the state to the other and many
prominent newspapers devoted con-
siderable editorial space N d9nounc-
ing the action of the men and up
holding the statement of the officers
in command of the mancUNc"S. FIRST,
it was declared that the officers would
be tried under the articles of war,
and might have their citizenship
privileges removed; then came the
order disbanding the Secord fattal-
ion. But it appears that the whole
matter was merely bluff. The oiIi-
GERS haven't been tried, and the pc
riod of eight days having elapsed,
without charges having lccn iiled, the
men were restored 10 their COM
mands. The disbandlnent order, pro-
mulgated by the general staff after =

Finding Out Things.

1t is evident, in the light oS recent
events, that the general staff is ind
ing out a few things and that it is Lct
nearly as anxious TO force an invrstt-
CATION as it thought. As has been
intimated by the accused officers,
there are many things in connection
with the Gate maneuvers which mlEht
prove sensations if the public were
placed in possession uf them, aId
the apparent willingness ard tven
persistency Of he ollirers "a wanting
to tell their side, has cHGscd the

intimated that things have ben dis-
covered which. fnr The Snod NJ the

cant
Say No Orders DisObeyed.
While the accused officers generally
have been keeping their own coun-
sci. il Is nevertheless known that they
declare that no orders were disobeyed
and that the Second battalion was
never ordered TO move from Gstc to

DECIDEDLY PRIMER
 TONE IN COTTON
Unexpected Strength in Liy- erpOOl-Demand Active
 for Spot in South

New York, January 9L-The cotton mar ket showed a decidedly frmer tone today owing to unexpected strength in Liverpool and reports of more active demand for spot cotton in the south, both from ex- porters and domestic mills. There was no appearance of aggressivive bull sup port, but offerings were limited and the market closed steady at a net advance of 1S to 10 points on covering and scat tered buying.
 Tho opening was firm at an advance Of : to il points in response to the cables. There was a good deal of realizing at the advance, but while part of this was as- oribed to the large spot interests who were prominent buyers toward the end of last week, the offerings made little impress on prices being well absorbed by foreign buying, covering and a scat tering fresh demand for long account.
 After showing a net advance of about 13 to 15 points slight recessions occurred as a result of realizing, but the market became still firmer and rather more ac- tive in the afternoon owing to reports of a better spot demand in the interior and rumors that English buyers were ne- gotiating for supplies out of the local stock. Prices in the late trading showed a net gain of from r to 20 points, and active positions closed within or points of the best.
 Reports from Manchester indicated that the three non-union weavers whose em- ployment had precipitated the recent labor disputes, and whose appearance in the mills had led to the recurrence of the troubles in two or three of the mills yes- terday, had joined the unions and re- moved to other localities, while private cables from Liverpool reported that Lan- cashire was a good buyer in addition to sharp demand from the continent The failure or the local market to meet with any important hedge selling from the south on the advance here in connee- ton with the fact that local stocks are now diminishing rather than increasing. appears to color bullsh claims that the south was finding demand for its cot ton above parity with contracts and southern spot raarkets officially reported were unchanged to 1sc higher.
 Receipts today, 46293, against fl, 704 last week and 2S,120 last year. Today's re- ceipts at New Orleans, CO.'S. against 551S last year; at Houston. 15,237, against 55s0 last year. and at Galveston, 62S7, against S75S last year.
