Old Ideals Exalted.

There are many new things which
are sprinSing up every day. and many
Of them are good But there are many
of the old ideals which should be chung
to. If there is a man standing in your
ranks tonight who has an old mother
he should cling TO her, and if there
is man who has an old wife he should
cling to her. He should not give up
either because she cannot step in light
society. The old mother and the old
wife are the most valua Bile. There are
many of the old things that should be
kept constantly burning, and the
cheapest of all of these is loyalty to
the flag. And when l find a body of
men willing to give up their time for
one night a week for no more pay than
the training they receive l think they
are to be congratulated. and the re-
public is to be congratulated in having
such men in it.
You are learning something here
that eventually will have to be taught
to men all over the republic. and that
is obedience to law and order. No one
Is above or beyond the law rightfully
in this country. Obedience is always
the best thing. 1t has taken me just
wife. but 1 have at last found that to
be the best thing to do Obedience is
not always pleasant, but | find that it
Is the best in the end.
IL war Is declared, ana L nope an
other never will be. l know that you men
will be prepared and wiling to go to the
front and do your part in defending the
flag"

DALLAS COLLEGE MAY MOVE.
Plan Being Worked Out to Consoli-
date With Philomath.

Although not definitely determined
upon, there is strong probability
that Dallas College will be removed
to Philomath next fall. 1t is propos-
ed that this institution of learning
be united with that Of the Evangeli-
cal Association at Philomath, the Uni
ted Evangelical church, which denom-
ination maintains the local college,
together with the United Brethren,
joining in making a larger and better
school. The conferences of the three
denominations will be held during
the ensuing two months and decision
concerning the consolidation will be
arrived at at these gatherings.
Under existing conditions, the move
is deemed advisable by all interested,
and it appears to be their intent and
purpose to consummate the plan as
here outlined The Dallas college
would add very materially to the
Philomath institution, and with the
three denominations contributing the
school, it is thought,
could easily be made to take higher
rank than it is now possible for
either to attain.

CANNERY DEAL is OFF.
Investigating Committee Reports Ad-
versely on Matter.

After making a thorough investiga-
tion of the propositions by Port
lander to establish cannery in Dal-
las, the two representatives of the
Commercial club sent to the Oregon
metropolis for the purpose have re-
ported negatively. Messrs. Miles and
Craven, while in Portland, visited a
considerable number of prominent
wholesalers and from this source gain
ed the information that goods pro-
duced by the party with whom nego-
tiations were pending were not up to
standard, and this, in the language of
the famous rough rider, closed the in
cident. The proposition as presented
to the Commercial club was that, if
this city would provide a site and the
buildings the Gamer would
move his factory to Dallas, provided
he could finance it for the season.

FEW ERRORS ARE MADE
EXPERT ACCOUNTANT REPORTS
ON COUNTY FINANCES.
Barring Clerical Errors Books of
Clerk, Treasurer and Sheriff Are
Found to Be Correct.

AT the instance of State Insur-
ance Commissioner Ferguson the firm
of Crandell & Roberts, certified pub
lie accountants of Portland, was re-
Gently employed to audit the books of
the Polk county officers, and their
report was submitted to the county
court on Tuesday last. The report
covers all transactions in the Offices
of the county clerk, county treasurer
and sheriff from January l, 1913, to
December 81, 1913, inclusive.
In addressing the court, Mr.. Max
Crandall, who performed the work,
informs that body that other than a
few clerical errors the financial trans
actions Of these officers have been cor
rect. Ip auditing the bills for ex-
penditures of the county for the year,
it was discovered that in several in
stances bills had been presented twice
and allowed. The report furnishes
the names of parties to whom double
payment was made, and recommends
that attention of the parties be call
ed to the condition in the hope of re-
covering the money so enormously ex-
pended. The auditor finds no author
ity for the charge Of thirty cents
for the truant officer serving notices,
nor for the charge of ten cents for
each letter. The statute prescribes
the compensation for the truant officer
at So per diem, with travelling ex-
penses, and the accountant holds that
it is his duty to perform this service
for this charge.
Mr.. Crandall suggests that the
sheriff issue certificates of delinquency
to the county for taxes yet uncollect-
ed on real estate on rolls of 1908,
1909, 1910, and 1911, and that the
district attorneys attention be call
ed to them that they may be fore
closed before they become void, as
they are after six years under the
act commonly known as the new tax
law enacted by the legislature of
1928.

Sheriff Grants Timely Appear
anCe Prevents Delivery.
MARTIN PREPARED TO LEAVE.
Forgel Breaks Iron Bars and Forces
Hole Through Brick Wall While
Town Clock Strikes.

l.. G. Martin, who is incarcerated in
the county bastile on the charge of
having attempted to defraud the Dal-
las City Bank out of a considerable
sum of money on forged drafts, came
near breaking Jail early Wednesday
morning by severing the iron bars of
his cell and tunneling hole through
the south wall with an axe. In some
unaccountable way Martin got hold of
mop Tuesday and taking the rope
from it fished out through the bars
of his window for an axe which hap
pened to be lying on the ground near
by, at last succeeding in securing it,
While the town clock directly opposite
the Jail was striking the hours he
worked for freedom, the sound of the
axe being deadened somewhat by the
huge timepiece. By breaking two bars
in his cell door he gained the corridor,
at the end of which he tunneled
hole in the brick wall. Each time the
clock pealed forth the hour he would
hasten the work, until about l
O'Clock Wednesday morning he was in
position to deliver himself from the
custody of Sheriff Grant.
The night watchmall, however, had
heard the unaccustomed sound, and
notified the sheriff that all was not
well, and the latter FASTENED to the
place and concealed himself in the
shadow of the wall. There were lights
in the Jail and the sheriff could see
where they shone through the hole in
the wall made by the prisoner and
illuminated the wall Of the building
across the street. Soon after Sheriff
Grant had taken his position the lights
i'll the Jail were turned off and large
bundle came through the hole and
dropped to the ground. The officer
fired three times at the, bundle with
a revolver, but there was no move
from it. On investigation it was
found to be bundle of clothes
which the sheriff had put three holes
with his gun. When Martin heard the
shots, however, he retreated back TO
his cell He was Immediately made
safe with handouts and a ball and
chain.
Martin came to Dallas some time
ago and deposited in the Dallas City
bank $17,50O in drafts made by a !
Kansas City bank on the Hanover
National bank of New York. He al
so deposited in drafts of the same
character $4,000 in the Dallas Ma
tional bank. These drafts were later
found to be forgeries and Martin was
arrested in the Bush bank at Salem
when attempting to get money on his
deposit of drafts in the Dallas banks.

company's target range to prepair the
targets and get them in readiness for
the commencement of practice, which
begins tomorrow. For the best ten
men from any company in the third

NOW FOR BIG FAIR NEARLY ESCAPES
Each Community Should Pre-

fecting plans for the coming event.
each enthusiastic over the prospects
of truly representative exhibit OF
Folks industrial, horticultural and
agricultural products. To the end
that every part of the county may be-
come still more interested and a
countrywide display prepared the di-
rectors at recent meeting planned
to district the county and appoint
two public-spirited persons from each
district to cooperate with the direc-
tory in arousing local interest and rem
dering help'in securing exhibits from
their respective localities. This list
of appointees has already been pub
lished in The Observer, and the mem
bers thereof, or at least large num-
ber of them, are now endeavoring to
create bigger and better show this
fall. Each community should unite
with its neighbors in presenting its
best stock and products to the end
that a magnificent display, the best
ever, be shown.
The fair directors are deeply mind
full of the important part the school
children of the county have played
in past years in making the county
fair successful, and as an apprecia-
lion of the good work of the boys and
girls, have set aside the handsome
sum of $3.50 to be expended in col
Letting and displaying a school ex-
hibit and for prizes that will stim-
ulate the children to put forth their
very best effort for the success of
his most important department of the
fair.
The benefits received by the county
from these annual displays are beyond
and it goes without say
ng that the greatest benefit is de-
lived by those communities which pre-
1are the most attractive and compre-
lensive exhibits of their resources and
products. Let us hope, therefore,
hat this spirit of friendly rivalry
will be greater this year than ever
,efore and that each citizen will 10y
lily perform his part in helping Polk
county retain its proud title, "The
Blue Ribbon County of Oregon. "
The fair this year will be held

,er II, Is, and 10.

OPERATIONS TO RESUME SOON.
Axe Handle Factory Sold to Eastern
Oregon Man.

The axe-handle factory will proba-
bly, resume operations in the near
future. While in Portland early in
the week Messrs. Miles and Craven
saw Mr.. Meyers, one of the owners
of the defunct manufacturing insti-
tuition, and from him learned that an
Eastern Oregon man had purchased
the plant and was now perfecting
arrangements to thoroughly repair
the buildings and put the equipment
in frst-class condition with view
to resuming the making of axe
handles. Mr.. Meyers had, for the
moment, forgotten the name of the
who had made the pur-
chase, but felt confident that some
thing would be done soon.
