SECURE ADJUSTMENTS SEES THE HAND WRITING
ARNOLD S ATTRACTIONS SECUR-
ED FOR COUNTY FAIR.
Seven Tent Shows, Ferris Wheel,
Merry -Go-Round and Three Free
Performances in the List.

L. j. Arnold of the Arnold Amuse-
ment company, was in Dallas on Thurs
day, closing a contract with the Polk
County Fair association to furnish at
fractions here during fair week, Sep
tember 17-18-19. Mr.. Arnold has some
thing new and novel all down the line
this year, and these attractions should
aid very materially in drawing large
crowds to the annual exhibit. There
will be seven shows and three free
acts, the former consisting of dog,
monkey and horse show, something al
ways pleasurable to the little folks; a
troup of Hawaiian musicians; negro
minstrels; musical comedy company;
Lezern, the magician; Jungleland
comprising large variety of tropical
birds; and a miniature Wild West
show. In addition to these will be
the Ferris wheel and the merry-go-
round. The free performances which
will be given afternoon and evening,
will be the high dive, balloon ascen-
sion and flying trapeze act.
Mr.. Arnold's connection with the
amusements is a sufficient guarantee
that they will be of high order of
excellence. He has been here before,
will be here again, and having a rep
utation to sustain purposes to give the
fair management the very best attrac-
tions obtainable.

PROMINENT MEN VISIT DALLAS
ON INSPECTION TOUR.
Elmer Dover, Once Mark Hanna S
Secretary, Here Yesterday
and Talks of Business.

Mr.. Elmer Dover, president of
the Byllesby company, and Mr.. Nor
man, vice-president and general man
ager of the Oregon Power company,
were in Dallas yesterday for few
hours on a trip of inspection, trav-
cling by automobile. Mr.. Dover was
prominent in national affairs during
the later life of Mark Hanna, having
been that distinguished statesman s
private secretary for considerable
length of time. He is a staunch re-
publican and a close observer of the
political situation as it obtains today,
and cannot figure out anything but
victory for the G.. o. P. in the next
campaign. The people are losing
what confidence they had in the pres
ent administration, and are pinning
their faith in having something of a
more substantial character.
When asked by a representative of
The Observer for his opinion con-
cerning the business outlook for the
immediate future, Mr.. Dover replied
that the prospects appeared to be
frightening somewhat, which was
quite natural at this season, when
bounteous crops are being harvested
and money placed in circulation
throughout the land. Messrs. Dover
and Norman went south to visit their
respective properties.

KIDS ON THE INCREASE
CHILDREN OF SCHOOL AGE
SHOW GAIN OF 279.
Amount Of Common School Appor-
tionment for Each Pupil Will
Probably Grow Two Cents.

The Polk county school census for
1914 show a gain of 279 pupils Of
school age over last year. being one
of few counties in the state TO give
an increase, while a number, includ-
ing Klamath, Jackson, Sherman and
Josephine, come in for a marked de-
crease. In 1913 Polk county had 1903
children, and this year 5092 There
are POI 1897 children of school age
in the state. according to the new
census, gain over last year of
ATT.
Until tomorrow it will not be known
exactly what the common school ap-
portionment for each pupil will be, but
there will be an increase of probably
2 cents. Last year the apportionment
was $1.83. An apportionment of
$1.S5 would require $373, ,490.95, and
it is possible that the state treasury
may fall short of that figure. 1t is
certain, however, that the schools will
receive more money than they did in
1913.

Every day adds TO the belief of hop
dealers and growers that a big de-
crease will be shown in the hop crop
of the Willamette valley as compared
with a year ago. Even with a some
what bigger acreage in bearing this
season, the outlook is for a serious
falling off in the output. Some csti-
iIates are down to 100000 bal'ri but as
rule the figures are about 10000
bales above this. Dallas aud Inla-

considerably smaller than anticipate
earlier in the season, but just what
percentage is difficult to arrive at.

woods; kindly cooperate with them in
