This is an undoubted opportunity for

of assuming the expense. but If you had
been blessed with children of your own the

FRUIT MEN WANT
CANNERY HERE
DALLAS FRUIT GROWERS TAKE
INITIAL STEPS.
Committee is Named to Investigate
Other Canneries and Report; Mar
ket for Fruit Badly Needed.

Matters of Importance connected
with the fruit industry in the county,
were discussed at n meeting OF the
Dallas Fruit Growers association
held at the offices of Sibley & Ea-
kin on Monday afternoon. Among
other things three men were recon-
mended to the county court to serve
on the county fair board, to repre-
sent the horticultural interests at the
fair. The question of establishing a
cannery in Dallas was also discussed.
1t was reported that the securing of
market for the large amount of
fruit which will soon be coming into
bearing in this vicinity was looked
over at length and a committee con
sisting of Robert Ewing and II. A.
Woods was named to make visit
to Salem, Eugene and Corvallis and
inspect the canneries in operation at
those places and find what proceed
ure is necessary to secure one for
this vicinity. One of the principal
objects of the visit Of the committee
will be to find out how much acreage
is necessary before a eannery can be
made profitable.
1t is the intention Of the commit
tee in hustling for a eannery to in
stall one to handle all kinds Of fruit
and vegetables in order that the
large amount of these products rails
ed in this vicinity may find a ready
sale

OIL IS MILES Of
CITY STREETS
CONTRACT IS AWARDED TO A
PORTLAND COMPANY.
Bid of $46.75 Per Mile is Accepted;
Work to Begin Without Delay;
Adams Objects to Procedure.

0iling of the dirt and macadam
streets Of the city was ordered at
the regular council meeting last
night when the bid of the Pacific
Road 0iling company, of Portland,
for 1850 per mile, was read and ac-
cepted on recommendation of the
special committee appointed to look
after the matter, and the mayor and
city auditor were authorized to en-
ter into a contract with the com
pany. Work is to begin at once.
Although the committee which had
been appointed with power to act,
had reported in favor of oiling Is
miles of streets, including the county
roads within the city limits, ON mo-
tion it was decided to cut down this
amount to 13 miles in the interest Of
economy.
Ralph Adams who was present in
quired why the street Oiling propo-
sition had not been advertised. He
said he had the necessary machinery
to do the work and had been watch
ing the newspapers for an advertise
ment for bids and wanted to bid on
the work. He thought that home
people should not be Disseminated
against. Chairman Barham Of the
special committee said that the CON-
mittee had submitted the PROPOSE
tion 70 two Portland firms and had
secured competitive bids.

MANAGER SERR ARRANGES
CONTEST WITH FAST YAM
HILL COUNTY TEAM
SUNDAY.
FAST CONTEST is IN SIGHT
New Grounds on Rowell Tract to be
Ready; Grand Stand and. Bleachers
Built; Ground to be Fenced; Lo-
cal Team in Constant Practice and
Ready for Game.

The first ball game of the season
for the newly organized Dallas base
ball club will take place on the new
grounds on the Rowell tract in the
southwest portion of the city on Sun
day afternoon at 2:30 when the fast
Dayton team will meet the Dallas ag-
gregation. This event will also mark
the opening of the new ball park,
corner Clay street and Fairview av-
enue, which is being rapidly placed
in condition for the contest. A fence
will enclose portion of the field and
grand stand and bleachers suffic-
lent to accommodate 700 people are
now being constructed and will be in
readiness for the game Sunday.
That the opening contest should
be fast one is the belief of the
bugs. The Dayton team has not
been defeated this season and it has
met some of the best in the business.
While the metal of the newly or
ganized Dallas aggregation is not
fully known, it is composed of some
very fast men and should be able to
give a good account of itself. Dur
ing the past wek the different mem
bers have been in almost constant
practice and say that if Dayton wins
they will know they have been to a
ball game.
"It has been several years since
Dallas has possessed ball park close
to the business center Of the city,"
said a well-known fan today, "and
the enterprising merchants who do
mated literally last week to give the
team start are entitled to the com
mendation of all the sport lovers of
the community. The new park is
centrally located and can be made
into one of the most ideal in the
country. 1t is a portion of the pro-
posed county fair grounds and the
fence which is now under construct
ion will eventually enclose the tract.
Admission has been placed at 25
cents for the bleachers with 10 cents
extra for the grandstand and there
should be a good attendance at the
opening game in order to encourage
the boys in their efforts. The advan-
tages, in the way of an advertise
ment of a good base ball team is
well-known and if the city supports
one properly, there will be no ques-
tiOn about its makeup.

Perfect Weather Conditions Add to
Success; Program at Armory
Interests Big Crowd.

Under the smiling skies Of a per-
feet summer day, with a cool and
bracing breeze kissing the folds OF
the many flags displayed, and with
28O school children in line, headed
bv the Dallas band and eight veter-
ans of the civil war, the parade that
ushered in the exercises OF Decora-
ton Day on Friday, was one OF the
most impressive of all former events
of the kind in Dallas. A year ago,
there were u old soldiers in line, but
Friday the number was short by
four.
Starting promptly at 10 o'clock
the parade moved through the streets
of the business section and ended at
the armory where the patriotic eXer-
cises were held substantially as pub
lished in these columns last week.
The big auditorium was comfortably
crowded and much interest was man

FINE PROGRAM FOR.
PERRYDALE
COMING BAND PICNIC PRoMI-
SES INTEREST.
School Also to Assist; Exercises to
Take Place at Gilliam's Grove
North of Perrydale.

All arrangements for the annual
picnic at Perrydale next Saturday
have been practically completed, the
matter of securing an entertaining
speaker having been settled last
week when C. f. Bauer of Salem, ac-
cepted the invitation TO address the
gathering which is expected to be a
large one. Dallas and vicinity ex-
pect to be well represented at the
event.
Interest will center on the two ball
games and the concerts to 'be given
by the Perrydale band, an organiza-
ton that has won a reputation that
is to be envied by villages much larg-
er than Perrydale. 1t was rated as
one of the best a year ago IN the
Elks parade at Portland and received
fattering mention by the press OF
Portland as well as those who heard
the music. The membership numbers
over 30 and is under the leadership
of Mr. J. p. Caldwell, an accomplish
ad musician as well as a thorough
instructor.
The event is to be given by the
Perrvdale concert band and school
and the exercises will take place at
Gilliams Grove. three-quarters of a
mile north of Perrydale, the program
beginning at 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing. Besides the ball games there
will be in the neighborhOod of ten
field events. all Of an exciting and
entertaining nature. The addresses
will be of an educational nature.

Y0mhiN WinS Field Meet
And Ne1vberg High Wins
Base Ball Championship
costly Errors Lose Game For Dallas; Baham Fans 10 But
His Support Is Wretched; Some Dallas Athletes
FUNK in Finals; Score Showns 81 Points

With the base ball championship
Of Polk and Yamhill counties safe

events, the final score of points be-
ing 81 to So, the representatives of
the Polk County High schools suf-
fered badly at the two-county track
and field meet held in McMinnville
Saturday. Although Polk athletes
won a few first points and made a
good showing in every event in
which they entered, the failure of
some to compete who had made the
best showing at the Dallas meet and
had been picked to enter the McMinn-
vile competition, was largely re-
sponsible for the poor results. To
the credit Of Independence it may be
said that she rallied to the support
of Polk s reputation and representa-
tives from that school not only filled
every entry which they made, and
with credit to themselves, but, in
several instances, they supplied en-
tries in which some of the Dallas
men refused to enter, and thereby
aided materially in making the score
what it was Although Dallas ex-
celled in the Polk meet, many Of the
winners failed to enter at McMinn-
vile. This was notably true Of Bar
ham who refused to compete in a
single event in which he had been
the winner for Polk county. HES
tand said he had sprained his shoul-
der during the ball game, and Shep-
herd and Balderree "fOrgot" their
suits, and left them in an uptown
hotel and failed to enter on that ac-
count, so the list of contestants from
Polk was cut down considerably.
Those who did enter, however, made

FAILS TO GET THREE-FOURTHS

WITH EMERGENCY CLAUSE
ATTACHED.
MEASURE MAY BE EFERRED
Intimated that People Will be Asked
to Vote on Proposal; Dallas City
Bank Would Move Wooden Build
ing; Street Fountain Locations
Decided; Other Council Business.

Passage of the ordinance eliminat-
ing the word "major" from the pres
ent liquor measure where reference
is made to the number of inhabitants
necessary for the establishment of
more than two saloons in the city,
marked one of the more important
events at a busy session of the coun-
Gil last night. Just previous to the
passage of the ordinance Councilman
Fenton called attention to the fact,
that, in order to pass it with an
emergency clause, would require a
hree-fourths vote of the members.
The law was looked up and found to
expressly substantiate Fenton po-
sition, but the vote was taken with
the following result; Voting eyes "
on the passage of the ordinance
Barber, Gohrke, Hayter, McBee;
voting "no"-Barham, Fenton, Ris-
ser. Mayor Van Orsdel ruled that
only a majority vote was necessary
to pass the measure and, if the peo-
pie desired to refer it, they would
have an opportunity to do so. Pre-
vious to the vote on the ordinance a
petition signed by 100 persons urg-
ing the council not to pass the meas
ure had been read and placed on file.
Wants Permission to Move.
The application of the Dallas City
bank for permission to move the
present wooden building, known as
the Matthews & Madison saloon
building to a new location on the ia
cobson property on Mill street, in or
der to clear the site for their pro-
posed two-story brick structure on
the corner of Mill and Main street,
occasioned considerable discussion.
Fenton opposed the plan unless it
was shown that it would not conflict
with the city fire ordinance. Others
thought that, inasmuch as the re-
moval only contemplated the chang
ing of wooden building to a diff
ferent location within the fire limit,
there could be no objection especially
as the change would eliminate two of
the worst fire traps in the city. 1t
was suggested that the location of
the proposed saloon building would
be adjacent to the Methodist church
property and might be Objectionable
on that account, but it was shown
that members of that society, while
they didn't exactly relish the saloon
so near them, were not disposed to
stand in the way of progress and
would interpose no objection, if the
building was used for such purposes
no longer than necessary, or until

City Observes Decoration Day
ifested in the program.
Graves Decorated.

lfeSted IN the program.
Graves Decorated.
Early Friday morning the graves
of the sleeping veterans in the Dal-
las cemeteries were decorated by the
surviving comrades and many fra
grant blossoms were banked above
their dust. Relatives of loved ones
sleeping in the silent city, also re-
membered the day with the result
that but few graves remained after
the close of the occasion without its
tribute of flowers.
Business Suspended.
Business of all kinds was practi-
cally suspended during the after
noon, and the people gave them
selves over to the cOmmemoration
of the occasion. 1t was one of the
most successful Decoration days that
the city has experienced, the perfect
weather adding much to its enjoy
ment. There was a noticeable abb
sence of the usual crowd from the
country districts, but this is account
ed for by the reason of the fact that
farmers are behind with their work
as the result of the late spring, and
but few of them were willing to spare
the time to come to town.
