SUPPER SOON
DALLAS LADIES UNDERTAKE TO
CREATE LIBRARY FUND.
Big Feed Planned for Next Thursday
Evening at the Armory-Chi
en- Pie to Lead.

The public supper for the Dallas Ii
brary benefit is an assured success as
a result of the careful plans executed
by the committee of ladies, appointed
by the library board. The menu will
be featured by chicken pie, cooked SC
that it will be a physical impossibility
to keep from smacking your lips as
you surround a luscious big bite, and
the trimmings will add greatly to the
palatableness of the meal. Merchants
are contributing freely to the lardeI
that is being assembled at the armcry
and jt is certain that large supply
will be on hand to assure the salts
faction of all who part with the hall
dollar that it will cost to enjoy che
meal. A special rate of rs cents has
been made for grammar school chill
dren. The venture advanced by the
library board in meritorious and de-
serves the unstinted praise of the en-
tire community. The library must re-
ceive aid from such sources as this,
and on this occasion the effect will be
as good as the cause. The tables will
be set at the armory on Thursday
evening at 5 80 O clock. 4.. 4l4

STRAY BULLET INJURIES
MRS. WALTER FORD SHOT WHEN
RETURNING FROM OUTING.
Leaden Missile Passes Through Upper
Part of Right Arm at Glendale
on Sunday Evening.

Mrs. Walter I. Ford, wife Of Super
intendent Ford of the city schools
had narrow escape from instant
death last Sunday evening while re-
turning home with her husband from
an outing on Glendale creek. When
near the rock crusher, driving slowly
in their automobile, an explosion was
heard and Mr.. Ford thinking that his
machine had suffered a blowout in
stantly slowed down, at the same time
being informed by his life companion
that she had been injured in the right
farm by shot from ambush. The
bullet, which could not have been
from greater distance than fifty
feet, according to Mr. Ford, passed
through the arm above the elbow, in
ficting painful, though not danger
Gus wound.
Fearing that the bullet might have
severed an artery, Mr.. Ford did not
institute an investigation, but hurried
the wounded one to Dallas, where sur
gical aid was summoned and the arm
dressed. Although an attempt has
been made to apprehend the perpe-
traitor of the deed, which is classified
as carelessness, no clue has been OBJ
tanned up to this time.

CHARGES DELVED into
GRAND JURY INVESTIGATES
THE RECALL MOVEMENT.
County Judge and Commissioners Ex-
onerated From Maladministra-
ton of Polk's Affairs.

Prior to the adjournment of the
grand jury late last Friday, that in
quisitorial body gave the charges pre-
ferred against Judge John B. Teal
and Commissioners Wells and Beck
EFT in the recall petition, which is
now only matter of history, consid-
Grafton, delving deeply enough into
the matter to feel satisfied that they
were groundless. The jurors submit
ted no report, the hour being late
when it concluded its labors, and
hence its findings in the recall fiesta,
further than to exonerate the court
from the charges preferred against it
in the petitions, were not made pub
lie. If in its investigations il found
cause to indiet any one in connection
with the movement. that action was
not taken, it preferring to leave this
part with the incoming grand jury,
which convenes early next month.
There is a strong probability, how
ever, that the whole matter has been
dropped. which status of affairs
should be perfectly satisfactory to
all concerned under the eircumstane-

AUDITORS ACTS LEGAL
FILING OF BOND REMAINS
WHOLLY WITH COUNCIL.
Controversy Between Mayor Kirkpat.
rick and Auditor Gregory Comes
to Termination.

The validity of his official acts hav
ing been questioned because of his
failure to file bond in the sum of
$1,000 Auditor and Police Judge
Chas. Gregory last night presented a
legal opinion to the council, in which
it was held that while he might be
considered in the light of a defacto
officer, although elected and qualified,
his official acts were legal and bind
ing. The council has the power to
require a bond from its officers, states
the opinion, and if this were not
forthcoming could declare the Office
vacant and elect another, but even
so the acts of the defacto officer
would be in full force and effect.
Mr.. Gregory stated that the mayor
had taken issue with him as regards
the validity of his acts as auditor, and
hence the opinion. He told the coun-
ell that he stood ready to file a bond
upon its request to do so; that be had
not refused to comply with any order
of that body. The council, on motion
of Alderman Sweeney, moved that the
auditor furnish bond, which motion
carried.

law REPEALED IN 1865
JUDGE HOLMES HOLDS SUNDAY
CLOSING ACT INVALID.
Much Ado During Past Years Be
cause of Belief That Such a Law
Was on Statutes.

Judge Webster Holmes, predecessor
to Judge Belt on the circuit bench fol
this judicial district, holds that the
Sunday closing law has been repealed
since January 20, 1865, and in max
ing this statement quotes his authori-
ty: "The Sunday closing law" he
says, "was handed down from terri
torial days, under the provision Of
the state constitution, article 18, sec
tion z, which provides 'all laws in
force in the territory of Oregon when
this constitution takes effect and con
sistent Herewith, shall continue In
force until altered or repealed The
Sunday closing law was included in
the code of criminal procedure pass
ed October 10, 1864. Two days later
the same session repealed it by pass
ing senate bill II, entitled IAN act
to repeal all statutes of a general ma
ture, with certain exceptions
"Section / thereof provides as fol-
lows: That all statutes of general
nature passed or in force before the
commencement of the session com
mencing September the eighth, A. D.,
1862, except those enumerated and
mentioned in the next section, be and
the same are hereby repealed. Sec
tion 2, Of said senate bill II, does not
enumerate the Sunday closing law,
nor does it refer to it in any manner.
The Sunday closing law was therefore
and thereby hereby repealed
"There has been much ado about
nothing for a good many years by the
mistaken belief that we had Sun
day closing law in Oregon. f"
The judge referred to case in
Marion county, where the law was at
tackled. Judge Bennett signed tine
writ of review from the justice court
on July 20, 1904, and the case was
tried before Judge Galloway, vino re-
versed the case on the grounds set
out that there was no Sunday closing
law.

The same enthusiasm that has char
acterized the beginning of other school
years was manifested yesterday morn
ing by the many pupils who awaited
admittance at nine O'Clock. Little
folks, attending school for the first
time, stood bravely before the ave-
inspiring teacher, but less courage
ously before the other boys and girls
just as it has been since the first
school was established--and hurried
home at lunch time to answer the
stereotyped question, "What did you
learn today7" and to tell mother and
father that the teacher was just the
finest kind. There was brief pro-
gram for the opening day ceremonies
in both schools and this did a great
deal to make all feel more at ease.
AT the high school the morning was
passed in renewing old acquaintance
and the making of new friends among
students and teachers. The short
program opened with the Dallas high
school song, the "Orange and Black, -

QUITS PUBLIC SCHOOLS
INSTRUCTOR HART ACCEPTS PO-
SITION AT STATE CAPITAL.
Board Now Casting About With View
to Selecting His Successor in
Manual Training.

Having been rendered a more re-
munerative position in the public
schools of Salem, Prof. Otho Hart
teacher in the manual training and
bookkeeping departments of the Dallas
high school, seeks release from his en-
gagement here that he may go thither
as quickly as possible. The board of
education will part with his services
reluctantly. Mr.. Hart is still filling
the position and will continue to do
so until such time as his successor
may be employed; provided, however,
that the limit does not exceed the
date when he may be legally released
under the school laws. @---~s.ia.s.''-
Mr.. Hart came to Dallas last year
when manual training was first intro
duced into the public schools here,
and during his first term accomplished
much good work, evidenced by the
several displays made before the pub
lie eye. There were more than forty
boys taking the work in this depart
ment, and a considerable amount Of
enthusiasm was displayed by them.
The board considered manual training
experimental, but soon after its intro
duction concluded that it had become
one of the several departments where
things were being accomplished for
the education Of boy pupils along
practical lines of manual training.
Who Mr.. Hart IS successor will be has
not been determined by the board,
which is casting about to fill the va
cancy.

SCHOOL BEGINS AGAIN
LOCAL EDUCATIONAL INSTITU.
TIoNS OPEN AUSPICIoUSLY.
Enrolment Will Probably Be Larger
By Ten Per Cent Than
Last Year.

Mother carried the old baseball NIT
and bat into the attic this morning,
heaving, meanwhile, huge sigh of
parental relief as the school bell toll
ed its first grave call after a summer
in which boyhood and girlhood did its
best to prepare itself for a winter of
confinement within study halls, with
books and teachers and desks barri-
caded on every side. Mother had just
washed sonny boy and sent him off to
school with a nice new set of books
and a promise that she would buy
him whole sack of marbles with a
big agate and new top if he would
be good boy. There were so many
sonny boys and so many little girls in
the grade school that the staff of
teachers extended itself to get them
all registered, classified and seated
ready to get into the book-lore this
morning. In the grade school building
are 290 boys and girls, and through
out the week the registration will be
materially added to by those pupils
who are not yet home from vacations,
the hop fields and orchards. There
are a great number of such who come
in each year several days after the
work has started. The majority of
those who register on the first day
are the new students. Altogether in
the grades there are 450 pupils, those
not in the grade school building, or
160, are at the high school. In the
high school classes there are 130 stu
dents, an increase over the registra-
ton at a corresponding time last
year. The total increase in school
population in the city will approx

Crop Is Disappointing.

r. L. Chapman, who has one OF the
best average-yield prune orchards in
Polk county, is disappointed over this
years crop, his orchard producing
10000 pounds against $1,000 pounds
last season. Mr.. Chapman did not ex-
pect more than 5000 boxes, but even
these expectations were not realized,
1900 boxes being the net result. The
weight per box is, however. better
than one year ago, averaging twenty
four pounds.
