SMALL WOMAN Is DEAD
Sarah Carr, Inmate of State Institu.
tion.

Sarah Carr, perhaps the smallest
woman in the state, died Saturday af-
ternoon at the Oregon Insane Asy-
lum aged 80 years. She was about
four feet two inches tall and wore a
baby ring on her forefnger. The re-
mains were sent to Oregon City.
Miss Carr was committed to the
state institution about seven months
ago from Newberg where she had
been living for some time with her
brother.
She was conceded by medical spec
ialists to be one of the smallest wo-
men in the world and it is said that
she was perfectly developed. She
wore four-year old child's glove,
number six shoe and her head was not
much larger than that of six-year
old child. Most of the time of this
miniature woman was spent in en-
broidering, some of her undergar-
ments being worth several hundred
dollars. These were embroidered by
hand several inches from the hem.

A DALLAS INDUSTRY
A Successful Manufacturing Plant
That Produces The Goods.

The Observer representative had the
pleasure of inspecting the plant of
the Dallas Planning Mills and was sur
prised to learn that this concern does
not confine itself to sash and doors,
but is also manufacturing fine grade
of tables, chairs, electric light fix
lures in wood, store and bank fixtures.
One set Of fixtures that we had the
privilege of viewing in course of con-
struction was that for HI. A. Web.
ster, consisting of wall cases, count
ers, tables and chairs, and we believe
they will compare very favorably
with those produced anywhere. The
genial manager, Mr.. F. j. Chapman
informed us that he will move his
family from Salem to Dallas at the
close Of the school year, as at that
time the move can be made without
interrupting his sons studies.
Polk County may well congratulate
herself on having such a progressive
concern located in Dallas.

DALLAS KIDS AS HIKERS
Regardless of the Mud They Return
to State Training School,

The Salem Statesman in Wednes
days issue says
Presenting sorry and bedragglet
appearance, Earnest Minty, aged 13
of Dallas, a former inmate of the
State Training School, appeared al
that institution leading his little
brother, Richard, aged eight, few
days ago, and asked TO be taken back
again. They had made the entire
journey from Dallas on foot and were
covered with mud and soaked to the
skin.
Earnest Minty was sent to the
training school about eighteen months
ago for playing truant from school.
Superintendent Hale found him to be
well behaved while there and he was
paroled about six months ago.
Return to Place.
The boy had told his little broth
er of the school where he had been
and a few days ago they decided to
retmrn together to the place. 1t was
a long journey through the muddy
roads and they had nothing to eat,
but nevertheless they tirelessly plod-
ded on and at last reached their des-
tination, tired out but triumphant.
Holding the hand Of his little
brother, young Earnest Minty placed
himself before Superintendent Hale
and asked that they might be taken
into the school. Looking down into
the two pairs of earnest young eyes
the superintendent found it hard to
refuse in spite of the fact that ordi-
narily he would have to do so be-
cause one of the boys had never been
committed to the school and the 9TH
er had been paroled.
The superintendent Immediately
communicated with the lads parents
in Dallas but no reply has been re-
ceived. Meanwhile the boys are en-
joying life at the institution.
