A Costly Scume.

1t is an old saying "look before
you leap" and a prominent citizen
will take off his glasses when next he
plays boy, and scufles. A few even
ings ago, two of Dallas citizens at
a gathering, became young again and
forgetting that they were mere boys
grown up, tried to show to those pres
ent their youthful agality and engaged
in friendly scuffle. 1t was nip and
tuck with odds in favor of tuck, and
at the close, the winner tried to adj
just his nose glasses, and 10 they
were missing. After hunting for
some time the nose piece was found
and few small pieces of glass was
all that remained. Tuesday he took
a trip to an occulist and when he
returned he was $40 poorer and some
wiser. After this he concluded to let
the ladies do the scuffling act

independence Loses.

Tuesday evening the Independence
High School basket ball team was in
Dallas and played the Dallas High
School at the Auditorium.
The game was very one-sided af-
fair and the Dallas boys won an easy
victory.
Once each year, at least the boys
at Independence lget it into their
heads that they can beat Dallas, and
sometimes they get the idea so firm
ly fixed that they do it, but not this
time.
The game was a fast one but the
score was favorable to Dallas.
The score was II to Z in the first
half, and 36 to II in the last.

if it is unconstitutional it is unconsti-
tutional for saloon keepers and Pro-
hibitionists alike.
County Courts had no jurisdiction
to order local option elections, because
the petitions were not signed by the
requisite number of voters.
Signing petition it not an exer-
else of the electoral franchise and the
constitutional right to vote is not in
volved.
The definition of the term "regis-
tered voters" is not to be found in
the registration law of 1913, for that
has been declared unconstitutional.

Waldo Finn of Mccoy had been
invited by the Club to give an address
on good roads and was duly present
ed to the Club and made talk which
would be hard to beat.
Mr.. Finn is one of the road SUI
pervisors of this county and has the
reputation of having in his district
some of the best roads in Oregon.
He explained how roads should be
built and also how they should be
and after listening to his
talk it was easy to see why the roads
in his district are superior to others.
Polk County is very lucky in being
able to get the services of such man
on their roads, man who has made
a study of roads and has also the
practical experience and a man who
seems TO be willing to do more to-
wards making the roads of Polk
County better by any advice he can
give.
The Club rendered Mr.. Finn a man-
imous vote of thanks for the excellent
address given them.
J. +. Ulrich of Airlie was present
and was called ON by the president
and responded with very interesting
and entertaining talk.
Ralph Savery also gave a short talk.
Senator Hawley was at the meet
ing and gave the Club some of his
IDEAS along the good roads work.
AT the close of the meeting, Pres
ident Fuller unwound some of the
poetry stored away in his fertile
brain which was very much enjoyed
by all present.
More Club meetings like this one
would insure larger attendance and
everybody who attended would be-
rome a "booster

Good Record for s. P.

Nearly everyone who travels nova
days is accompanied by baggage; and
the safe handling of this baggage,
and the delivery of it to the correct
address is, to the traveller big and
important feature of transportation.
In this connection, the Southern Pa
cific, handling millions of pieces of
baggage a year, has established an
enviable record, according to figures
compiled by E. P. Larson, General
Baggage Agent, with headquarters at
San Francisco.
In 1910, the Southern Pacific Com
pany, on the Pacific system alone,
handled about six and a half million
pieces of baggage; in 1911, it handled
six and a quarter million; and in
1912, it handled almost seven and a
quarter million. Altogether, for the
three years, the total was just 49,
831 ,248.
Our OF this tremendous number,
only 18O pieces went astray, an aver
age of just sixty pieces year. And
in many cases, baggage would not
have gone astray had passengers,
checked their belongings,
had them re-checked, when necessary,
or changed the checking when they
changed theta bwn destination en-
route.
This record speaks well for the eff
ficiency of the men in whose care the
handling of baggage reposes, and it
speaks well for the care on the part
of employees which the Southern Pa
cific requires.

Last Sunday afternoon he addressed

the subject, "The Woman for the

to with intense interest and received
approval. Next Sunday
at three o'clock, he will address the

Want a New Lease.

If you have a building that is for
rent Uncle Sam wants it for the
postoffiee. His lease is ON the
present location March 1st and he
had his inspector post a notice in the
building that he is in the market for
a five years lease. As the vacant
buildings are scareer than hens
teeth in Dallas, there will not be apt
to be many proposals.

Tonnage is Compared.

In regard to the tonnage of the
dreadnoughts Of the two navies it was
developed that the lowest tonnage in
any German dreadnought was 22,345
tons and the largest 24,3O5, while in
the American navy the lowest tonnage
is 10000 and the highest is $4,000
tons.
Comparing the dreadnoughts of
the German navy with those of the
American navy in point of guns it was
developed that four of the German
dreadnoughts each has an armament
of IL 12-nch guns and the other five
each an armament of ten 12-inch
gums. In the American navy it APP
peared that two had an armament
each of eight 12-inch guns, four of
ten 12-inch guns, two of II 12-inch
guns and two of ten 14-inch guns,
showing the great superiority of the
American dreadnoughts in the cali
Der and power of their guns.
Comparing the two navies with
reference to dreadnoughts now build
ing it appeared that the smallest
dreadnought now being built in the
German navy is 26,575 tons, and the
smallest building in the American
navy is $4,000 tons; that the largest
dreadnoughts building in the German
navy have tonnage of 28,000, and
the largest building in the American
navy have a tonnage of 81 400 or an
excess of 3,400 tons over the largest
German ships now building.

POOLING Of
HOPS UNW|SE
Estimated That There Are $4,000 or
More Bales Now Being Held on
Coast for Raise in Price.

The Salem Journal prints the fol-
lowing which shows that there is a
difference of opinion in methods to be
used in the marketing of hops.
"In the judgment of many of the
local hop growers and hop merchants,
the market is at present showing a
disposition entirely too fickle. In
other words, the price of hops is un-
settled and neither do the willy buyer
or the foxy growers know just where
it is going to land permanently or if
it will find resting place at all for
months to come.
In remarking about the present
market conditions, one leading mer-
chant and grower stated that the un-
settled prices are due to the fact that
the growers are stirring too much ex-
citement over their proposed pooling
system in Oregon, Washington and
California. He says that just as long
as there is no basis upon which the
market can rest for a reasonable
length of time, just so long will the
market be quiet and business dull.
The hopman further predicted that
unless the growers and merchants can
arrive at some understanding as to
what is the proper actual value of
the crops now on hand, there will
probably be decline resulting be-
fore long and then sales will be few
and far between. This, he says, is
more probable in view of the fact
that there are $4,000 or more bales
now being held up on the coast.
Must Have Movement.
There must be some activity in the
market or prices will never remain
up to the present standard, ii is said.
Pooling the hops and holding them out
of the market will only have a ten
dency to crown their actwual value
and finally end up with those entering
the pool having a job lot on hand
when the 1914 crop is unloaded and
then with a portion of last years
crop unsold and possibly a still larg-
er output ready for harvest, the mar
ket will shrink toward the bottom of
the list and remain there indefnate-
ly."
