% years since Mr.. Hoffman visited
Dallas and he was very much surpris-

He remarked that he had no idea that
we had such modern up to date city.
Our stores are far above the average
in appearance and the well paved
streets credit to city of twice
your size he remarked. Mr.. Hoff-
man started cannery at Forest
Grove on his own hook, and it has
paid him well. He says he is more
than surprised that Dallas has no
cannery as Forest Grove has two and
both are money makers for the in
vestor and the farmer.

POSTAL LAWS AMENDED
A Peculiar Condition Arises in the
New Order in Regard to Weights.

"The limit of weight for miscel-
laneous printed matter constituting
third class mail, the rate of postage
on which is one cent for each two
ounces or fraction thereof, is four
pounds. Parcels of miscellaneous
printed matter weighing more than
four pounds, but which are within the
limit of weight and size for matter
of the fourth class parcel post, come
within that class and are mailable at
the pound rates of postage prescribed
for fourth class matter"
Postofiice men say that under the
new ruling it will be much cheaper
for person desiring to mail par
eel containing four pounds or less Of
printed matter to pad out the weight
to slightly more than four pounds.
The postage on four pounds in the
third class would be thirty-two cents.
The same parcel of printed matter
made to weigh four pounds and one
ounce could be mailed for eight cents.

Dallas Looses.

The McMinnville Telephone Regis
ter says.
Last Thursday evening in a slow
and one-sided game, company A Of
McMinnville defeated company L Of
Dallas "a 10 13. The game was a
walk-away from the start, the score
standing % to 7 at the end of the
first period. Corpron was the point
maker for McMinnville. He threw
eight field baskets and three fouls out
of ten attempts. Foster threw two
field baskets and White two. Syron
and Farley each made field basket
for Dallas, and Barham made three.
Barham guarded White. Farley all
so threw three foul baskets out of six
attempts. The game was slow, but
clean, owing to the impartiality of
referee Finseth of Dallas, who put a
quietus on roughness at the outset
by prompt penalties. M. E. Petit
was umpire.

AN INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE

Luther J. Chaplin of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, who is also
County Agriculturist for Polk and
Marion Counties, was in Dallas We'd
nesday night. He is organizing can
ming clubs in the principal towns Of
these counties, wherein it is his object
to teach better methods of fruit can
ming and utilizing parts of fruits,
which hitherto have been wasted. Mr.
Chaplin was accompanied by Professor
O. H. Benson of Washington, D. c.,
who is travelling over the United
States, delivering Illustrated lectures
at all the principle schools. In his
address to a large audience at the
Dallas High school Wednesday, he in
troduced new method of farming,
which he believes will. be more read
lily accepted by the younger genera
tion than by the old-time farmer, who
in his own mind is too old to be
taught anything new. The professor
lecture would leave such a farmer
with the understanding that he must
get in and master the new methods,
or his knowledge of farming would
soon be very little in comparison to
that of his son. The lecture was in
structive and proved interesting to
all present.

1t was on February 10th, 1864, that
Justus Fl. Rathbone founded the first
lodge of the order, his work being in
spired by the ancient Greek story of
the friendship of Damon and Pythias.
Since that time the order spread rap

Tomorrow is st. Valentine Day.

Valentine was a saint and martyr
of the third century, whose day is
kept on February 14th. He is said
to have cured the blind daughter of
a certain Asterius who had been
charged by the Emperor Claudius to
win him back to paganism, but who
was thus converted to christianity.
Valentine was accordingly imprison-
ed, tortured, and finally beheaded.
1t is impossible to trace any connee-
tion between his story and the cele-
bration afterwards connected with
the day. 1t has been suggested that
it might be a survival with Christ
ian sanction of the ancient Roman
festival of the Lupercalia, celebrated
in the month of February at which it
was customary TO pat the names of
young women into box, from which
they were drawn by the men as chance

How the Apostles Died.

John Conway Of Montavilla, has
prepared the following and vouches
for its historical accuracy: !.
From history and tradition we learn
that all the apostles, excepting John,
died unnatural and cruel deaths, as
follows:
Peter was crucified in Rome, with
his head down, on cross similar to
that used in the execution of Jesus.
Andrew was bound to a cross and
left to die from exhaustion.
James the great was beheaded by
order of Herod, at Jerusalem.
James the Less was thrown from a
high pinnacle, then stoned, and finally
killed with a fuller's club.
Philip was bound and hanged
against pillar.
Bartholomew was fayed to death
by command of barbarous king.
Matthew was killed with a hal
bert.
Thomas was shot by shower of
arrows while at prayer, and after
wards run through the body with a
lance.
Simon was crucified after the man.
ner of Jesus.
Mark was dragged through the
streets of Alexandria until he expired.
John Paul died natural death.
Paul was beheaded by command of
Nero.
Judas hanged himself and fell
md his bowels gushed out"

State House To Be Remodeled.


With the new supreme court build
ing practically completed and accept
ed by the state, the next large under
taking at hand is the remodeling of
the state house, for which the 1913
legislature appropriated the sum of
$4,000. This amount, it is believed,
will not be cent too much for, with
the strictest economy possible, the
growth of the various state depart
ments necessitates many changes and
changes cost money.
Perhaps the greatest transforma-
tion will occur on the third floor of
the capital, now occupied by the su-
preme court, the attorney general s
Office, state library and library com
mission, and the state banking de-
partment, besides several store rooms.
Bids for the remodeling will be open
ed by the state board of control next
week and the work of reconstruction
will begin at an early date.
