WOOL GROWERS TO
HOLD SALES
VALLEY ASSOCIATION MAY
SELECT DALLAS FOR EVENT.
Annual Ram Sales" Attract Buy
ers From All Portions of the Coun-
try; City's Location Ideal.

With the intention, if possible of
securing for Dallas the annual "ram
sales" TO be held under the auspices
of the Willamette Valley Wool
Growers association, the Commercial
club will exert itself to lay before
the association the advantages which
this city offers for events of this
kind.
These sales are held annually and
attract buyers from all parts of the
United States and the animals dis
posed Of are only of the best breeds
and thoroughbred stock. 4 profes-
sional auctioneer is employed and
the sales usually continue for three
DAYS. II is necessary that a tract of
Land be provided where pens may be
built and it is also advisable that
plenty of shade be available where
the sheep are confined, as the sales
take place in August.
No sale will be held during the
present season, owing 10 the limited
time available for advertising II, but
il Is planned 10 begin next year and
bold them annually however. Polk
county is noted for It's fine sheep, and.
as other portions Of the valley also
produce blOOded stock. Oregon Is not
ed far and wide among sheep men
for the quality Of IFS animals.

AUTO MAP SHOWS
WAY TO BEACH
PORTLAND, DALLAS, NEWPORT
ROAD SHOWN IN DETAIL.
Work of Hines Engineering Com
pany and W. V. Fuller to Hang in
Lobby of Abbey Hotel at Newport.

On the walls of the county court
room at the court house hangs a map
Of Northwestern Oregon, made by
the Hines Engineering company of
this city, which, it is declared, is
true in detail and correct in other
matters. W. V. Fuller who is IA
miliar with the topography of the
country, especially in Polk, Lincoln
and adjoining counties, furnished
much of the information. The map
was made primarily to show the au-
tomObile route from Portland through
Dallas to Newport via Toledo, and it
will be placed in the lobby of the
Hotel Abbey at Newport in a few
days. The map shows every foot of
the route, the different towns, post
offices and communities as well as
other roads and railroads.
According to the map, the distance
from Portland to Dallas, via the au-
to route, is 63 miles, and from Dal-
las to Newport, it is "A miles. A new
proposed route from Dallas via Falls
City to Toledo and thence to New
port is shown and the distance is
noted as 60 miles, a saving of IA
miles over the present route which
passes through Pedee and Kings Val
ley, in Benton county.
The idea of publishing map
which should be correct in every de-
tail and which could be depended up
on by autoists and others, occurred to
Mr. Fuller while a guest at the Ho-
tel Abbey at Newport last season
At that time a large map was dis
played in the lobby showing what
purported to be the auto road to
Portland, which was so erroneous
and misleading that the necessity OF
a correct route was at once appar-
ant, if people were not to be misled
hence the new map.

WHAT rs A TAXPAYER" AND
WHO MAY VOTE AT SCHOOL
ELECTIONS PROVES
KNoTTY PROBLEM.
NEW ELECTIONS POSSIBLE
Attorney General Defines Legal Vot-
er But New Phases Brings Up
New Difficulties; County Superin-
tendent Beset by Vexatious Prob
lem Appeals to State official.

That much confusion has resulted
throughout the county over the re-
cent school elections, and the right OF
women and others to vote or hold Of
flee, is the report from the county SUI
perintendent s office. According to a
recent decision by Attorney General
Crawford, no voter is eligible to cast
ballot at school election whose
name does not appear on the tax
roll but this seems to be misunder-
stood in some districts and all man
ner of mix-ups has resulted.
In the Independence district, where
Mrs. FL. b. Fletcher was elected as
one of the directors, it has been dis
covered that her name does not APP
pear on the tax rolls although it is
claimed that she has purchased prop
erty since the last tax roll was made
up, and is therefore taxpayer, with
in the meaning of the law Tuesday
Mr.. Mix, Of Independence, made an
investigation at the court house and
discovered that Mrs. Fletcher's name
did not appear on the rolls, and Su-
perintendent Seymour was asked for
ruling on the question. He refer
red to the decision of the attorney
general, but the question above re-
ferred to throws different light on
the subject and it is not known what
further action will be taken.
May Hold New Eelection.
In the Buell. district, where there
was a spirited fight over the selection
of director, it is charged that GER
tain women voted who were not tax
payers, the claim being made that
they were entitled to vote, as cO-part-
ners with their husbands in the ow-
nership of the farms. This, howev-
err, it is declared is not sufficient and,
as the vote was close in that district,
the throwing out of the illegal votes
thus east, may have the effect OF in
validatina the election in which event
new one will have to be held.
Three Women at Broadmead.
In the new district of Broadmead,
an entire board of directors we're
elected and all three Of them are wo-
men. Here again, it is claimed that
some of the new officials are not le-
gally entitled to the Office and it may
be necessary to hold another election.

SAM McvEIGH, OF NEWBERG,
SIGNS UP CONTRACT AND
WILL PLACE CRUSHER IN
SHAPE AT ONCE.
GRAVEL CONTRACT SIGNED
County to Use 1000 Yards From In
dependence Bunkers at 25 Cents
Loaded on Cars; Widows Pension
Law Needs Fixing, Thinks County
Judge Teal.

Rock crushing for the use of the
road work in road district No. l will
begin about July l, according to Sam
MeVeigh, of Newberg, who was
awarded the contract as the lowest
bidder and who was in the city yes
terday closing up his deal. He will
at once proceed to repair the crusher
and place it in shape for the resumpt-
ion of operations. Tharp has the
contract for hauling in this district
as noted in Tuesdays Observer.
Mr.. Larson of Larson & Skinner,
of Independence, was in Dallas We'd
nesday, signing up the contract re-
Gently awarded the firm by the county
court for supplying gravel for use on
the county roads. The contract pro-
vides that the company will furnish
1000 yards of gravel, more or less,
loaded on the cars at Independence
for flat price Of 25 cents per yard,
and expect to experience no trouble
in complying with their portion Of
the contract. They will be in shape
to begin shipping gravel as soon as
their new bunkers are completed
which, they say, will be in a few
days. The court has not yet decid-
ed which districts will be first sup
piled Il is also thought that more
favorable freight rate may be secur-
ed than that first offered the county
which will result in pairing down the
price.
Widows Pensions Bother.
Applications for pensions under
the Widows pension act passed by
the late state legislature are still
pouring in on County Judge Teal, but
no application has yet been acted
upon. The new law makes the juven-
lie court the sole arbiter in the mat
ter, and it is entirely within the
province of the court to allow any
application or to refuse to do so. In
Polk county the juvenile court is the
county judge.
Judge Teal will make a thorough
investigation as to the merits OF ev-
cry case coming before him, and de-
clares that none but the most deserv-
ING will be allowed to participate in
the benefits of the new law. He says
that several applications have already
been made that he does not believe
are meritorious and he proposes to
satisfy himself fully in this direction
before he will consent to paying out
county money for the partial sup
port of widows and their children.
In the law no account is taken of
what the applicant may earn by her
own labor. This is exempt, and II
a widow happened to be earning
S75 per month, and had but one
child depending upon her for sup
port. she would still come under the
provisions of the act. This, the
County Judge thinks, is unfair to the
taxpavers and he does not believe
that an applicant so situated, should
be permitted to participate in the
distribution of charity funds by the
county.

SiHculties of Present Schedule Re-
lated; Retaliatory Measures Urg-
ed; Matter of New Motor Service
Left With Railroad Committee;
Prize offered for Ticket Sales.

Vigorous and emphatic denuncia-
Non of the present train service fur
nished Dallas by the Southern Pacif-
Il railway, was voiced, by city bust
hess men at the regular meeting of
ihe Commercial club held on Wednes-
Nav night, and prompt and decisive
action will be taken, according to a
resolution unanimously passed, look
Inc to relief from other sources. The
Railroad company was denounced in
figorous language by several business
hen for their action in "placing
Dallas on a spur line" as it was call
ed, some declaring that the company
bad violated every promise made to
the people of this city. The present
arain schedule was roasted to rich
brown by recent patrons of the road
Who had made the trip to Portland
Over the line. Mr.. Muir said it re-
6uired just five hours to make the
Journey on the "Polk Hills grape
ZINE" and four hours to return on
the night train Others declared
that it required fully half hour ev-
ery night to transfer the baggage
and express and mail at Gerlinger,
and that more people, express and
baggage was transferred to the Dali
las motor at the junction than went
on to Corvallis. Since the new sched-
ule had been adopted it was declared
that the motors were usually from
One-half to an hour late and the
whole arrangement was generally
Unsatisfactory and wretched.
Chairman w. L. Soehren, Of the
railroad committee reported that it
might be possible to secure a motor
ear service between Dallas and Port
land, leaving here at an early hour
every day, and arriving here on the
return trip about 8 O'Clock, the Idea
being that the service would be linn
tied, the car or train only stopping
at the more important stations en-
route This met the instant APPROX
al of the business men and further
consideration of the proposition was
left with the railroad committee.

Heard.

As the time for our Chautauqua
draws nearer, the interest becomes
greater in the program which is of
fered us. Perhaps the greatest in
terest centers in the White City band
and the Thaviu Grand Opera COM
pany, which appears the fourth day.
This organization, which was the of
fetal band at the United States Land
Exposition show in Chicago in 1910,
will present the best music written
for band and orchestral work.
The Thaviu Grand Opera company
will give excerpts from musical clas-
sizes, both in ensemble and as solo
lists. Lovers of music are expecting
a real treat when this splendid or
ganization reaches us.
Many promises are made regarding
the German violinist, Carl-Frederic
Steckelberg. 1t is said that he plays
with a tone remarkable for its pur-
itv and sweetness, and that his tech
nique is equal to that of the greatest
virtuoso. Indeed. friends Of this
young man insist that he has never
as vet taken his proper place i'll the
musical world, owing to the fact that
he doesn't like to do concert work
because of the hardships of travel.
