CLEAN OF GRAY AND CLINT OF
GOLD MARK IMPOSING PA
RADE OF DECORATION
DAY IN DALLAS.
Twelve Veterans of Civil War March
With Firm Step to Music of Funer-
al Dirge; s6s School Children in
Line; Exercises at the Armory are
Impressive.

Under the smiling skies of a per-
feet summer morning with gentle
breeze just sufficient to ripple the
folds of the many flags, and kiss
with loving and tender caress the
countless blossoms that decked the
mounds in the silent city on the hill
side, the Decoration day parade of
yesterday morning was one of the
most inspiring spectacles which the
people of Dallas have beheld in many
days. To the solemn strains of a
dhge played by the Dallas band, the
parade moved through the streets of
the city, led by company G, o. N. G.,
under command of Captain Walter
l. Tooze, Jr Following the band
marched the veterans of the civil
war. Silver cleaned in their honor
ed locks and the marks of time
showed plainly upon their furrowed
faces. But their steps were firm
withal and in their eyes was the
gleam of loyalty and devotion to the
starry flag whose draped and honor
ed folds carried by one of their num-
Der proved the inspiration of yester-
day as it did years ago on Southern
helds amidst the shrek of shot and
shell and the dying groans of broth
ers and sons who fell. But II of
Them there were, where a few years
since there were hundreds, but the
loyalty and the love of their fellow
eountrymen went out to them in un-
dying devotion and respect for the
work they did and the privations
they faced while hundreds of the
present generation were yet unborn.
Many School Children.
One of the pleasing and inspiring
features of the parade was the school
children from the public schools of
The city. There were S6s in line in
addition to their teachers and they
presented a thrilling sight. Each one
carried a flag and the flashing folds

Club Recommends Celebration For

Decision to assist the Adjustable
Electric Socket company to the ex-
tent of not more than 5000 in secur-
ing a site for factory which the
company proposes to erect some-
where in Dallas, was made at spec
ial meeting of the Commercial club
held on Wednesday night. There
was a very good attendance of club
members and the matter was dis
cussed fully. C. w. Minnich, mana
ger of the company, was present and
explained at length the plans of the
company.
He stated that the company was
ready to begin the construction of the
factory at once and would do so as
soon as a suitable site could be Sc
cured He said that he had found
the location he wanted and supposed
that he had had clear understand
ing with the owner regarding the
sale of the lot, but later found that
he declined to sell. The location in
question comprised a lot about 15o
feet square owned by J. G. VanOrs-
daI near the plant of the Dallas Lum-
her and Logging company.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1912-05-31

Minnich said that the company
would at once begin the construction
of the factory and would enter into
any sort OF an agreement with the
club to meet all requirements asked
for within reason, in return for the
donation OF a site. He said the COM
many did not ask for a site because
It could not purchase one Itself. but
rather because he believed that the
company was entitled TO this con-
cession. He called the attention OF
the club TO the fact that he had been
offered free sites in Salem and in In
dependence. but that he preferred to
locate in Dallas. He said that the

DENY COMPENSATION PLEA
Risk Board Acts on Case of STREE
Car Conductor Killed While TAX
ing Place of Motorman.

Madison.-The application of the
widow of Robert Neumann, Milwau-
kee, for compensation under the
workman's compensation act, for the
death of her husband, was dismissed
without award by the railroad com
mission.
Neumann was conductor in the
mploy of the Milwaukee Street Rail
way company. He took charge of
the controller in the temporary alb
sence of the motorman and turning
onto q switch the car was thrown
from the track and Neumann was
run over and killed. 1t appeared at
the hearing that Neumann had never
been instructed in the duties of mo-
torman, that it was a strict rule and
always enforced that conductors
should not attempt to run the car or
in any way operate or manipulate the
motor.
The commission found that Neu-
mann, when operating the motor,
was not performing a service incident
to his employment, and that the wild
ow is not entitled to recover.

LAW TO AFFECT ELECTORS
Cost Them $500 Each-Expense
of Literature Is Stupendous.

Madison.-If the presidential cleo
tors chosen by each party to cast
their vote in the ELECTORAL college
desire to get back their qualifications
before the people as the other candi-
dates are expected to do, it will cost
each about $500. The last session
of the legislature enacted a law,
which also applies to candidates as
presidential electors, under which the
secretary of state is required to is
sue a pamphlet in which may be
found the qualifications and picture
of each of the candidates for office
in every political party. 1t is not
compulsory for a candidate to take
space in this pamphlet, but the new
corrupt practices act is so stringent
that this is about the best method
left for getting before the people. "
While the law has been tried in
Oregon with success, the task of fur
nishing information to the Wiscon-
sin electorate, nearly four times as
large as Oregon, which in 1908 was
111,000, will be stupendous. 1t is
estimated that the pamphlet will con-
sist of about 100 pages. In it will
be found the pictures and a state
ment of all the candidates for gov
ernor and other state offices, includ-
ing the senate and assembly. Be
sides space is reserved for the various
candidates for congress and United
States senator, if any.

ASK A RAISE FOR VAN HlSE
Alumni Committee Suggests That
President of State University Be
Paid $4,000 Per Year.

Madison-The executive commit
tee of the alumni association of the
University of Wisconsin has passed
resolutions urging the regents to in
crease the salary of President Chas
R. Van Hise to $4,000, the amount
received by President George E. Vim
cent of the University of Minnesota
and by President E. J. James of the
University of Illinois
A bulletin of the United States bu-
reau of education, just issued,
brought to the notice of the alumni
the fact that the president of the
University of California receives
$12, 000 of Illinois, $4,000; of the
University of Minnesota, $40, 900; of
Cornell, $4,000; of Pennsylvania
State college, $4,000; of the Univer-
sity of Virginia, $4,000; of the Uni
versity of Michigan, $500; of the
University of Missouri, $500, while
President Van Hise receives $1,000.

100000 FOR FLOOD RELIEF
Legislative Appropriation Is Expected
to Put Black River Falls Fairly
Back Upon Its Feet.

Madison.-Black River Falls will
receive flood fund of s1O6.OO0.
This amount was agreed upon by
the conference committee appointed
by the two houses. The compromise
agreed upon left the appropriation
of $1,000, as provided in bill No.
TIA, as it was. This reimburses the
relief committee for money expend-
ed in construction work and for fill
ing in overlooked lands, so they will
not be a menace to the community's
heath. The cut by the finance COM
mittee of the appropriation in No.
ia Of S65,000 to $4,000 was al
lowed to stand.
The assembly originally voted
S136, 900, and the senate cut this
amount to SIS, 900. The assembly
rejected the amendments of the SEN
ate, and the appropriation was ad-
Justed by conference, the committee
advising $4,000 instead of Sos, 900
for sanitary purposes and the relief
of restitution and $4,000 for drain
age purposes.
1t is generally felt that with the
appropriation made, the situation at
Black River Falls can be cleared up
and the people OF that city put fairly
on their feet.
The nohpartisan victory was made
complete and the fusion ticket for all
larger cities of the state at the pri-
maries and general elections finally
approved, when the senate session
concurred in the Stern nonpartisan
measure, which had been passed by
the assembly after a hot legislative
conflict. The assembly passed the
bill by vote of II to IA.
Every means in their power to
stave off defeat were resorted to by
the socialistic delegation, but the mi
nority movement was unsuccessful
The bill as passed is the substitute
amendment introduced by A. H.
Long, is statewide in it's application
and will take effect in all cities hay
ing primary elections. Smaller NUM-
.cipalities, where candidates are in
dorsed through nomination papers,
are not included.
