FIRST TEST COMES
SATURDAY
DALLAS HIGH TO MEET Nc
MINNVILLE IN DALLAS.
Strength of Home Team Yet Unde-
termined; Hope to Excel in Base
Running and Field Work.

According to arrangements made
this week with the management of
the McMinnville High School base
ball team, the strength of the new
Dallas High School team will be put
to the initial test for the season Sat
urday (tomorrOw) afternoon at 2:30
o'clock. The game will be played on
the college campus, which has been
under preparation for some time and
is nearing perfect condition, say
those who are interested in the ma
tional game and have been at work
on the grounds.
No measure can be taken of the
two teams who will open the season
in Dallas, but it is safe to say that
the home team has a stronger aggre-
CATION than that of last year, al
though there are few changes in the
personnel. Barham and Herzog will
appear in the initial game on the slab
and receiving ends, Woods will be at
short, Boydston has been assigned
as guardian of the initial sack, and
Lockman and Pritchard will attend
to the other bases. Matheny will be
in left field, Cadle at center and Hell
stand in right.
The rainy weather has prevented
the team from becoming familiar
with the bat and, if they prove weak,
it is thought that it will be on this
account. Their advantage will be in
their physical condition, having been
hardened by basket ball work during
the entire winter, and it is expected
that the home team will excel at base
if they outpoint the Yam
hillers at all.
Dallas will depend upon a collec-
ton to pay for the entertainment of
the visitors and the expense neces-
sary to bring them to Dallas.

AL G.. BARNES CIRCUS MEETS
APPROVAL OF PATRONS
Good Crowds Greet Actors at Both
Performances; Intelligence of
Trained Animals Remarkable.

The second appearance Of the Al G..
Barnes wild animal circus in Dallas
on Tuesday was given a hearty well
ocme by those from country and city,
and the visitation left no bad impress
sion, so far as can be learned. The
afternoon performance drew a large
attendance from the country, and in
the evening a few from the rural com
munities and a large numSer from the
city filed the seats.
For this class of amusement the
Barnes attraction is different from
theordinary show, having no acrobatic
display except that done by the ami
mails and clowns. With three rings
and arenas filed with animals which
are intelligent enough to do every hu-
man act but talk, the lovers Of ami
NAL nature found an abundance of
pleasure in the performance. Ladies

$4,000 DAMAGE FOLLOWS DE-
STRUCTIoN OF BARN AND
CONTENTS ON HIRSCH- A
BERG FARM.
ORIGIN OF FIRE UNKNOWN
Valuable Stallion and a Running
Horse Burned; Fire of Wednesday
Night Threatens Dwelling House,
but Hard Work Saves 1t; Loss Is
Partially Insured.

Loss of more than $4,000 resulted
from a fire of unknown origin, start
ing about 10 o'clock on Wednesday
night, which completely destroyed the
large barn on the Hirschberg farm
two miles north of Independence, to-
gether with all its contents, consist
ing of is head of horses, 13 tons of
hay and several agricultural imple-
ments and farming tools. All of the
contents of the barn was the property
of C. A. Mclaughlin, of Independ-
ence, who has had charge of the hop
ranch for several years. Among the
animals burned was valuable stall
lion, and notable running horse that
had already secured some first places
at former race meets and which had
been entered at the state fair in Sa-
lem the coming fall. There was also
considerable quantity of grain con-
tained in the barn. The loss was par
TALLY covered by insurance.
Lover of Fine Horses.
C. A. McLauhglin has been in
charge of the Hirschberg ranch, one
of the largest hop farms in this sec
tion, for a number Of years. Mr.. Nc
Laughlin is a lover of fine horses and
among the number were other valua-
BILE animals 1t is said that some Of
the implements were saved, but for
the most part the building and con-
tents are a total loss.
Hired Man in Charge.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, during the win
ter months, lives in his home at In
dependence, and the farm was in
charge of hired man when the fire
broke out Everything was done
that could be in an effort to extin-
guish the flames, but the fire had
gained such start before it was dis
covered that all efforts to subdue the
angry flames were of no avail. For
tunatelv the wind was in the right
direction to prevent the total destruc-
ton of the large farm house and other
buildings.
The manner in which the fire start
ed is something of a mystery. The
hired men finished the work around
the barn before dark and it is said
that no lantern nor light of any kind
was used in the building last night.
Some have advanced the theory that
it might have been started by tramps
who may have found nights lodging
in the building, but as the farm is
some distance from the main road
this hardly seems possible, and the
true origin of the fire will probably
never become known.
Soon after the fire was discovered
a telephone message was sent to In
and in brief time many
citizens of that city were on the scene
ready to render any assistance neces-
sary, but it seemed that nothing
could be done to prevent the total
loss of the horses and other property,
but thew rendered valuable service in
saving the house situated near the
barn and the outbuildings.

TO EMPLOY COUNTY BANDS
Outside Talent to be Used During
Field Day Contests in Dallas.

Field Day contests III DaIIaS.
Carrying out the idea to employ
bands of the county to furnish music
in Dallas during the field day contests
on May IL, arrangements are now
under way to secure the Airlie band
for the occasion, according to advices
received by the Dallas band this week.
The Dallas organization cannot ac-
cept the invitation to join in the con-
test which occurs on Saturday, be-
cause many of the members will be
busy in their places of business, but
will perhaps give a short program in
the evening, giving the other bands
of the county an opportunity to carry
on the contest. There are four or five
bands in the county, and it is thought
that, outside the home band, all will
enter the contest.
This program, should it be carried
out. will add much to the pleasures
of the day, furnishing an abundance
of music. along with the sports of
the occasion.

ORDERS DIAZ PICTURES
RETURNED TO PLACES
IN PUBLIC Bull DINGS

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 25.-The re-
vival of the Diaz influence in Mexico
is indicated by an order issued by
Provisional President Huerta today
that all portraits of former President
Porfirio Diaz be restored to the places
in public buildings from which they
were removed by Madero. Several
large pictures of the old dictator were
replaced Immediately in the corri-
doris of the halls of the National Pal
ace.
The new cabinet ministers, antici-
pating the presidential order, had
already ordered pictures of Porfirio
Diaz hung on the walls of their va
rious departments.
Railroad communication by way of
Laredo is still uncertain. No trains
were able to get through yesterday
owing to the burning of bridges near
San Luis De Potosi. Communication
with the United States by way of FL
Paso is possible, but trains arriving
from that direction suffer considera
BILE delay. There has been no inter-
ruption of traffic on the line between
the federal capital and Vera Cruz.
