His main topic was Looking Into
Jesus. His text was Heb. 12:1,2
Wherefore. seeing me also are
compassed about with no great cloud
of witnesses. let us lay aside every
weight, and the sin which doth Sc
easily beset us, and lei us run witA
patience the race that is set before

and finisher of our faith, who for
the JOY that was set before him en-.
dured the cross. despising the

Rev, Martin brought out clear y
and convincingly the fact that the
thing of prime Importance was to
Look Unto Jesus" All other

into line.
Echoes Of Martin Harding Revival
Z "Trot out your hypocrites. I'll
give you dollar apiece for them. II
n Christian swears or commits sin
of various other kinds, he is not a
hypocrite If folks know it. A real
hypocrite is one that deceives. A
man that makes profession Of
Christianity for business or selfish
reasons is a hypocrite.
"A favorite trick of the devil is
to pick out some weagened poor
weakly Christian and compare him
with an honest, moral successful
man outside OF the church. The
fairness of such a procedure is just
like the devil, who is liar from
the beginning.

BASE BALL LINEUP
LOOKS GOOD
MANY FAST PLAYERS SEEN IN
NEW BASE BALL CLUB.
Men to be Given Tryout; Ted Serr
to Manage Team; List of Players
With Their Positions.

The Dallas base ball team has been
organized for the present season and
among the players who will tryout
are the following: Catchers, Shaw,
Serr, Herzog; pitchers, Barham, My
ers, Clark; first base, w. Tooze, r.
Boydston; second base, +. Boydston
short, Cooper; third base, Baker;
outfeld, w. Barham, +. Barham, l.,
Rice. All other local players who
are not on this list may receive a
fair tryout against these players by
reporting at the public school
grounds Sunday morning at 9 o'clock.
Material Looks Good.
The material looks good and a
fast bunch should be the result of
careful picking and elimination. For
catchers we have Shaw and his good
headwork and playing; Herzog has
been playing with the high school
and his work is well liked by all.
Serr has been playing with some of
the best teams in Portland and the
valley and has a good record in Cal
ifornia. Barham. Clark and Meyers
are known to be capable of working
with the best on the mound and
Tooze and Boydstou rank with some
of the best semi-pro men in the
country. Boydston's work at second
will be hard to improve and with
Cooper at short that position will be
one Of the strongest ON the team
Home Run Baker" as he is known
by all. has a fine record and has
broken up more games by his slug
ging at Opportune times than any
other player in the valley. l. Rice
and w. and f. Barham will be hard
to beat in the outfeld. for they are
fast and are hard hitters.
Ted Serr who has had eonsidera-
bic experience IN managing some OF
the best teams In Portland and else
has been selected a. manager

Drawn by engine 1861, gaily deco
rated and screeching greetings, men,
bers of Moose lodge 1861 of Dallas
invaded Salem Friday night for one
of the roundup times of the year.
Over 500 Dallasites were in Salem on
that day, Salem-Dallas day of the
Moose carnival.
And it was all Dallas on that day.
If there was ever any doubt of the
boosting proclivities of the people
of this city they were swept away
in a tide of enthusiasm Friday.
In the parade Friday afternoon
Dallas was practically the "whole
thing" :" Out of a sparse number of
automobiles Dallas carried away
the honors with over half the ears
and for decorations the cars of this
city were far in the lead. With gid
dy advertisements of the Fourth of
July celebration and Chautauqua
here as well as of the Dallas suprem-
acy in the world of prunes and fruit
the thousands who had gathered at
the carnival will have a vivid re-
membrance of this city and undoubt-
edly the showing will mean that hun
dreds of Marion county people will
be in Dallas for those big events.
Dallas Crowd Helps.
At night Dallas was also the main
feature. Without the Dallas crowd
and the Dallas band, Friday, the big
day of the carnival, would have suf-
fered materially. This is admitted
by those who were in charge and Sa-
lem Moose and Salem people have
been singing the praises of the Dallas
contingent ever since.
In speaking of the showing made
by this city The Salem Statesman had

Cream Brick Construction.
While plans have not yet been
drawn, and although the exact ma
tnre of the architecture has not been
determined, it is probable that the
new building will be of cream brick
Construction, or facing, on Main and
Nil streets. Aside from the bank
be room, which will occupy the cor
ner, there will be two store rooms
d Main street, and one facing on
Jill street. 1t is understood that

Wins Ball Game From Airlie.

Dallas galloped away with the
honors in the Polk county school

last Saturday before one of the larg-
est crowds ever gathered here to wit

though Dallas has a heavy lead in
the points it is no indication that
the meet was not without its sensa-
tional features.
Makes Thrilling Jump.
Mulkey, of Dallas, made thrilling
jump of 21 feet inches, which
comes near being the record for a
16 year old lad. The interscholastic
record for the country is % feet and
5 inches, made by E. T. Cook of
Ohio in 1906. Mulkey's jump is just
two feet behind the worlds inter
scholastic record. Considering the
fact that Cook had been III splendid
training for years for the event and
a much older lad than Mulkey, Mul-
keys jump is remarkable.
Dallas Takes Ball Game.
Dallas took the ball game and the
county championship from Airlie in
the morning by score of to 4.
Many were of the opinion that Airlie
had a little the edge on the local
boys and it was certain at some
stages of the game that the visitors
did. Some squabbe arose because it
was claimed by the visitors that Dal-
las allowed Bevens, its pitcher, to
rest for half an hour near the close
of the game and that the rest allow

LOST U. S. WOMAN FOUND
Taken to Hospital In Italy She Ex-
plains She Was Overcome by H.
ness and Had tainted.

Rome.-Mrs. William Mansfield, the
American woman, whose disappear
ance has caused much anxiety to her
friends and occasioned an investiga-
ton by the Italian authorities, has
been found in Venice, according to a
dispatch to the Giornale d'Italia.
Mrs. Mansfield arrived in Venice a
fortnight ago and took a room at a
boarding house, which she left. The
police came upon her lying uncon-
scious in the street and removed her
to hospital. On regaining conscious
ness the woman said that she had
been overcome by illness and had
tainted. She remained in the hospital
all night and left in the morning.
The police say she told them she
belonged to wealthy New York fam
lily, and that the name of her hus-
band. from whom she was separated,
was William Mansfield.
Mrs. Mansfield left Salo, on Lake
Garda, about two weeks ago after
cashing an American check for $50 at
a bank. She said she was going to
Verona to buy paint brushes, but there
is no trace of her having stayed at
any hotel in Verona. Apparently she
went direct to Venice.
