HANDSOME GARAGE
COMPLETED
FINISHING TOUCHES GIVEN TO
NEW $4,000 STRUCTURE.
Solid Concrete Used in Making of
Large Building Which Will Soon
Be Ready For Occupancy.

The $4,000 garage erected by Geo
Clanfeld on Main street is practically
completed, the roof and supports be-
ing finally placed during the week,
and the building will be ready for
occupancy and business begin by the
first of March. The structure is 50x-
100 feet in size, is conveniently To-
Gated, and the lessees, Messrs. Black
& Robbie, expect to put in line of
Overland cars for the market, besides
operating a first class garage.
The firm members are experienced
auto and repair men, Mr.. Robbie be-
ing we'll known in Dallas as ma
chinist and expert handler of autos
in the past few years. Holmes &
Grant held the contract for the ce-
ment work on the building and the
which is almost entirely of
concrete, equalled former efforts
made in construction of Dallas build
ings.
The building, which is only one of
many which will be built in Dallas
during the year, will prove a credit
to the city, and the new business en-
terprise will have many to give 1t
hearty support.

Wife ASKS SEPARATION
Independence Lady Wants Bonds of
Wedlock Severed; Husband Accus-
ed Of Cruel, Inhuman Treatment

In denartment No. 2 of the circuit
court the complaint of Lille M. Hill
is made against her husband, William
Hill, asking for a release from the
bonds of wedlock, accusing defendant
of cruel and inhuman treatment, and
of having inflicted personal indigni-
ties upon plaintiff, redering life un-
bearable, which caused plaInhn to
cease cohabitation with defendant.
The petition recites a tale of do
nestle woe covering a neriod from
October %, 1912, when they were
united in marriage at Independence,
Oregon, until the time plaintiff eeas-
ed to make her home with defendant.
Plaintiff charges her husband with
having jealous, suspicious disposi-
tion, and recites that soon after their
marriage her husband charged her on
three different occasions with improp-
er conduct with a neighbor, the name
of whom is given in the petition, all of
which were .seandalous, abusive and
violent in their nature. Mental suffer-
ing caused her removal from their
home, it is alleged. No property
rights are involved. B. +. Swope ap-
pears for plaintiff.

S|LETzSETTLERS
ARE HAPPY
DISPUTE OVER RESERVATION
CLAIMS MAY END.
Good Faith of Settlers Shown at
Court of Inquiry Held at Portland;
Settlers Happy.

After trying for several years tt
prove up on their claims on the Sileta
reservation, the original homesteaders
won a victory last week that it is ex-
pected will conclude for all time the
rights of the settlers. P. A. Finseth
of this place, returned on Saturday
from Portland, where he took an act
i've part in the investigation, conduct
ed by Louis L. Sharp, chief of the
field division of the general land Of
flee, and John McCourt, United States
District Attorney.
Mr.. Finseth says that this was the
only fair opportunity yet given to the
settlers. who have been fighting for
their rights since 1890, being court
hearing where the evidence could be
presented without being given into
the hands of few department clerks
at Washington, only to be lost or go
without action Mr.. Finseth said
that about 40 of those interested
were in attendance, many of them
being old-time settlers who had al
ready received patents to their home
steads, but were interested in seeing
others get square deal.
Under the original homestead law
that has been amended several times
since by congress, Is claims were en-
tered upon and the entrymen tried to
make homesteads out of them but with
poor success, as the claims were heav-
lily timbered and each is now said to
be worth from $4,000 to $4,000 for
the timber alone.
Subsequently the law was changed
so as to permit such lands to be filed
on as timber claims and on those in
men were located by tim
Der filings, the assertion being that
the original homesteaders had not
complied with the full provisions of
the law protecting their rights. Fol
lowing successive hearings before the
land Office the matter reached the
VI iuC AAeallh
Office at Washington for final decis-
ion. After reading the documentary
evidence he was unable to arrive at
conclusion and appointed Mr.. Sharp
and Mr.. MeCourt to investigate the
matter, and upon their findings he
would base his final decision as to who
we're entitled to the properties.
At the conclusion of the investiga- |
ion Thursday, which lasted all of
he week, the arbitrators announced
hat the evidence showed that the
original homesteaders had acted in
rood faith in all their dealings with
he government and had lived up to
heir contract as far as it was in their
power to do so, so that every equity
vas in their favor and they should be
,iven patents to the land.
This was teeleraphed to the Com
missioner of the General Land Office
md it is expected that he will direct
he issue of patents.

SPECIAL ROAD LEVY
HELD INVALID
SUPREME COURT DECLARES
ACT OF 1909 DEFECTIVE.
Special Tax Voted in District Num-
ber One for Road Purposes Held
Void and of No Effect.

The Observer, for the benefit of
those interested, and particularly for
the benefit of the taxpayers of road
district number one, here prints the
opinion of the deputy district attor-
ney of Polk county, Oregon, as sub
mitted to the sheriff of Polk county,
with reference to the special levy
made by said district for road pur-
poses:
Dallas, Ore, Feb. 25, 1913.-J. M.
Grant, Sheriff, Daallas, Oregon:
Dear Sir:-With reference to the
special road levy made in road dist
rict number one, Polk county, Oregon,
under the act of 1909, / desire to call
your attention to the case of Letting
well V. The County of Lane, ct al, de-
cided by the supreme court of this
state on the 2Sth day of January,
1913. In this ease, the court held the
act of 1909 to be of no effect in it.
self. A tax voted under the provis-
ions of the act of 1909 was held in
valid and of no effect. The court held
that to make the levy legal, there
should be proof of the giving Of the
notice of the election held for the
purpose Of voting the tax, which
proof should be filed in the office of
the county clerk, and be a part Of the
records. The court also held that the
levy should be made by resolution
adopted at the meeting at which such
election was held. which resolution
should also be filed with the county
clerk. The records in the office of the
county clerk do not show any of these
requirements fulfilled. The act of
1909 is also defective in that it does
not expressly provide for the calling
of a meeting; it does not specify
whether the notice for the meeting
shall be given prior or subsequent to
the meeting, nor the length Of time
during which the notice shall be eX-
tant. Owing to these defects, the
court holds that to hold the act valid
would be opening the way for unscru-
pulous persons to work great injustice
upon property owners.
The effect of this decision of our
supreme court is to practically SET
aside as invalid the act Of 1909 and
leave in effect the act of 1908, though
by implication the court does hold
that by reading the act Of 1909 in ,
with the act Of 1903. that
ten per cent of the taXpay-
ers of district could call an election,
elect a chairman and secretary, but !
otherwise proceed in accordance with
the act of 1908.
| would advise that you notify p. c.
Lady, chairman, and a. e. Tharp,
secretary of the meeting at which the
attempt was made to make this spe-
cial levy, that the levy made at that :
time is of no effect and that, there .
fore. taxpayers in that road district {
will not be called upon to pay the tax Z
evied under this special levy. You 1
might also notify them that under the ,
aw as it now stands. they will not be e
able to take any further steps along s
his line until next December. / am. D

Parents and Teachers Meeting at
Fairview Is Success; Monmouth
Band Assists in Meeting.

One of the most successful par
ents and teachers meeting in the
county was held in district %. Fri
day afternoon. About one O'Clock
the patrons assembled in the school
house and, after listening to a short
program, took an active interest in
the general discussions. The Mon
mouth brass band Of 81 pieces gave
the Fairyiew district the treat of
their life in rendering the music
which was highly appreciated by ev-
elyone. Their presence was quite a
surprise to many and the Fairview
citizens extended to them their sin
cere appreciation for their assistance.
In spite of the fact that the farmers
were extremely busy, 65 persons turn
ed out to have a good jolly time and
no one was disappointed. The good
ladies Of Fairview served refresh
ments. II. H. Parsons, our worthy
school supervisor, and Geo. Myers,
one OF the members Of the county ed
1cational board, We're present to as
'ist in the meeting.

distinguished themselves with some
wonderful foot-work and drives for

his usual work from the foul line

When the Silverton five comes next

The Marion county fellows are the
first team to defeat Dallas for three
