Interest in School Work shown By
Attendance.

Interest in the effort 10 raise the
standard Of the Polk schools was
conclusively shown by the attendance
At rallies held on Friday at Lincoln

gathering Of patrons being recorded
81 both places. At Suver many came
from Fairview, Buena Vista. Parker
and Valley View districts TO attend
the rally and the attendance was

What Happened TO It.

When asked what happened next
Mr.. Taylor remarked An enemy
came at high noon and destroyed the
pavement. " Then he explained
"The enemy was Old Sol none oth-
er. just the heat Of summer noon
day. The tar top grew soft under
the heat; there were spongy places
beneath the crushed rock. Along
came the heavy wagons. They went
through the soft top, down into the
rock and that in turn into the soft
earth. Of course the paving concern
made good and patched it up, but a
burned child breads the fire and when
q second road was to be laid with
similar type Of pavement some time
later, the taxpayers got busy and the
powers that be in that county chang
ed the specifications and put in 4
concrete foundation.
Is Prosperous Valley.
Mr.. Taylor eyes the Willamette
valley with the keen interest Of al
man who has gone over Uncle Sam
uel's domain county by county. This
is the setting for great play, he
declared For long centuries we
have been picking up modes Of gov
ernment and the means of producing
wealth in our steady march out Of
Asia, across Europe and the Atlantic
and now, at last we find ourselves at
the end Of the final stage, we have
reached the Pacific. Is it not reason
able to expect that all we have learn
ed will be set up and enjoyed here
on the coast with a relish all the |
keener BY virtue Of the choice eli
mate and scenery. Hamlets in your
valley will become towns, and towns
stirring cities almost overnight. AL
vast poulation will come pouring in
upon you, and in the upbuild Of all
The land transportation will play her
part.
Motor Truck Important.
Mr. Taylor expects to see the mo
,or truck rival the electric and steam
always. Trucks that carry many
0ns Of goods from town to town will |
appear as they have in other sec
ions, he believes. and sthe saving
hat they make elsewhere will be an
accompaniment here, and their very
weight compels the question Of per- [
nanent foundations for the roads.

BARHAM BROTHERS INSTALL
NEW WOODWORKING MA
CHIME FOR MILL
WORK.
NEW PLANER PUT IN PLACE
Contractors Unite Building Work
With the Business Of Producing
Finest Of Woodwork From Raw
Material; Gentlemen Also Add
New Brick Moulder.


The Barham Brothers, contractors,
who have built up business from a
small beginning, last week installed
large additional equipment to their
factory by placing a new planer and
attachments which win enable them
to furnish any and all kinds Of mill
work which are necessary for their
work and also will supply the trade
for any size of job or kind Of ma
terial.
While the Barhams have been put
ting their efforts more in the direc-
tion Of contracting and building,
they decided this season, by uniting
the factory work with their regular
business, it would prove an advan-
tage. They are finishing handsome
residence for C. II Crider, on North
Main Street, and are at work on
another pretty residence for Mr..
Black in southwest Dallas.
New Planer is Dandy.
To local paragrapher for The OBJ
server 1t was not an easy matter to
study out the varied attachments
that turn out pretty moulding from
the new machine, shaping the raw
material into mortises at will. The
gentlemen, however, were able to in
form the reporter that they were
equipped with a Tannewitz wood
worker, band saw. drum sander,
boring attachments, dado head, plan
er, moulder and mortises and that the
''Tannewitz" was right up to the
minute so far as everything was con
cerned
Add Brick Machine.
Fearing that the demand for ce-
nent brick might encroach upon the
Frame structure work so common, the
gentlemen provided this week
Holmes cement brick moulder that is
said to be one Of the best Of its kind
low on the market. The firm have
several cast samples on exhibition at
heir factory on the west end of
Court street where they will be glad
o show the public at any time the
lew apparatus.

With the completion Of the new
bridge uniting the main line Of the
Southern Pacific with the Salem
Falls City-Dallas lines at Salem and
West Salem many complications arise
although changes. in freight service
are greatly improved. It seems the
passenger service is somewhat incon-
venient at present between Dallas and
Salem, passengers from Salem who
cross the bridge being compelled to
purchase tickets at West Salem be-
fore proceeding over the Salem, Falls
City & Western line westward.
Sulphur Fumes Permoate.
A fare Of 90 cents is charged be-
tween Salem and Dallas, being an
addition Of 10 cents above the fare
to West Salem. Passengers from
Dallas may ride to Commercial street,
Salem, for the amount named, but on
returning it is different A 10 cent
fare is charged to cross the bridge
from Salem to the Polk county ter
ritory and tickets viii not be issued
from the Salem end to passengers
and when about 40 Of these passen-
gers "unload themselves on the
Polk side they are said to "nnIoad''

CITY CELEBRATES
CO-TO-CHURCH DAY
Almost Entire Population of
City of 10000 Attend Divine
Worship

JOLIET. ILL.,, Nov. l9.-Almost the
entire population OF Joliet and Rock
Springs, even the infants. altogether
some 10000. celebrated "go-tochurch-
day" by crowding every church In the
city Churches In which scarce hun
dred persons ordinarily worshiped
were packed 10 the doors.
The unusual scene Was due TO a
three-weeks' campaign by ministers.
priests. evangelists and citizens OF all
classes. Early this morning flying
squads of men In automobiles stopped
at almost every house In Joliet and
reminded the occupants that II was
"goto-church-day." Joliet clergymen
are enthusiastic over the results and
unanimous in declaring that the event
will result In a permanent increase OF
% per cent In church attendance In
the city.
The Rev. Frank d. Sheets, district
superintendent, asserted that the
Methodist church would repeat the
novel experiment In every city In the
United States In cooperation with
other denominations.
The Catholic churches we're SO
crowded that many found 1t impos-
sible to enter. The regular services
were increased by two extra masses.
Thousands indicated their liberal
views by walking from crowded
churches TO the nearest one which
they could enter.
Harvey Weeks. q bond salesman. is
the father Of the idea. The Joliet
newspapers published no local church
notices in order to eQualixe the pub
LEFTY OF all Joliet churches, and at
tract the people to all the churches
rather than to the ones that were adj
vertised.

city hunter who shoots men for deer
