DALLAS TEAM DEFEATED.
Season Ends With Walloping by
Lebanon.

The football season closed for the
Dallas high school yesterday when
Lebanon, with the assistance of
much criticized referee, succeeded in
turning a scoreless tie into a $50
victory Two weeks ago the Dallas
boys held their heavier adversaries
to a 90 score, and everyone on the
special train that carried Dallas fans
to Lebanon expected the local team
could do as well again. But Lebanon
was on home ground. The players
and coaches admit that they were
beaten, but are unanimous in saying
that the Dallas team should have
scored had it not been for shady de-
cisions Of the referee. Fourteen Dbl
las players have earned the d that
is awarded for playing a full game
on the gridiron in season, and the
fourteen includes the entire squad,
for there was never more than that
number on the practice field at one
time. Twenty-one members of the
Dallas band attended the game and
furnished repertoire of lively num-
bers.

OFFICERS TO CONVENE
CHAIRMEN OF SCHOOL BOARDS
TO HOLD CONVENTION.
Superintendent Seymour Would Have
Full Attendance at Gathering on
Saturday, December 4.

The annual school officers conven
ton has been called by T. W. Brunk
president, to meet at the county court
house here next week, Saturday, al
1890. This is the regular meeting OF
the School Officers association called
by the school laws of the state. The
chairman Of the various school boards
are the delegates to the convention
but in case the chairman of district
is not able to attend the meeting the
county superintendent asks that some
member of the board be appointed
to take his place that there may be a
full attendance. Each delegate is
entitled to $500, to be paid from the
general fund Of the county to cover
his expenses for the day. 1t is the
desire Of the superintendent to have
all members of all school boards at
tend the convention, if possible, as
many important matters will be dis
cussed.
A number of prominent educators
will appear on the program during the
day. Among these are President j..
Fl. Ackerman Of the Monmouth Nor
NAL school; L. R. Alderman, superin-
tendent of Portland city schools, and
Mrs. Mary c. Fletcher, chairman Of
the Independence school board and a
former county superintendent in
Washington. H. c. Seymour, super
intendent of Polk county schools, will
conduct a question box. Polk county
school officers conventions have done
much in framing the school work, not
only of the county, but of the state
as well, and to keep the record of the
convention this year up to that pre-
yiously established is the desire Of the
president.

MORE THAN BLOSSOMS FOUND
OIL Discovered in Henry Serr's Well
in Eastern Oregon.

Henry Serr of the Gail hotel is in
terested in an oil well near Dufur that
gives forth good promise. He this
week attended meeting of the board
of directors, of which he is a men,
Der, at Portland the first of the week,
and the reports for the superinten-
dent were most encouraging, notwith-
standing the fact that while sinking
the well he had met with a mishap
at depth of 1000 feet, which caused
slight setback. That oil exists at
the depth already attained is assured,
but whether in paying quantities re-
mains to be seen. OF the four com
panies which were operating in the
field near Dufur only this one re-
mains, the other three having become
discouraged by the heavy expendi-
lures necessary to development work.
Mr.. Serr is confident that his COM
pany is on the right track, and that
its undertaking will prove successful.

NUMBERING PROSPEROUS.
Logging Will Cease Temporarily With
Entry of New Year.

The Willamette Valley Lumber
company of this city will cease log
ging operations Immediately follow
ing the holidays for period Of about
two months, and will saw from stor-
age at the mill. The new dump re-
Gently constructed near the pond now
has approximately two million feet Of
logs in storage, and it is the purpose
of Mr.. Gerlinger to increase the
amount another million feet before
discontinuing logging temporarily
During the winter months logging IS
more expensive than in favorable
weather, and the plan adopted this
fall will mean considerable saving.
Since last March about 11,000.OOO
feet Of "dead" timber has been saw
ed at the mill, thus taking care of the
burned over territory within the COM
pany's holdings.
The company has recently booked a
number of good orders, and is not
worrying about the immediate future.
The condition of the lumber market
is gaining in favor of the millmen
with rapid strides, and from present
indications there can be no stopping
the upward tendency. The advance
may be slow, but that there will be
advances no one familiar with the
has the slightest doubt. The
Willamette Lumber company has one
of the best organizations of any mill
in Oregon. and hence it is in position
to meet the demands made upon the
mill with all possible haste. And this
counts with a certain class of Gus
toners, who are loath to place orders
for material until the eleventh hour,
The yard stock at this plant is about
the same as at this time last year,
which under the circumstances may
be considered very fortunate.

FRANK HILLMAN KILLS SELF
AND WIFE AFTER FEAST.
QUARREL is CAUSE OF DEED.
Hillmans Recently Located in Polk
County, Coming Hither from Spc-
ane-Coroner Early on the
Scene of Crime.

Frank Howard Hillman and his
wife are dead today as a result of
the enraged Thanksgiving rampage
Of Hillman, when he sent a rife bull
let through the brain of his wife and
then turned the gun on himself.
The Hillmans had just finished a
very pleasant Thanksgiving dinner
at their home near Bethel, at which
brother and sister-in-law Of Mr..
Hillman s were present, as well as
Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin, the two Hill
man girls, aged IA and 16, and the
hired man, when the shooting that
snuffed out two lives occurred. Hill
man and Marvin leftthe table and went
to the garage on Hillman's fine farm
about four miles from Amity, on the
Amity-Bethel road, and Marvin re-
mained to putter around the machine,
according to the testimony gathered
by Coroner Chapman.
Hillman returned to the house and
found that his wife had gone upstairs
to prepare to assist Mrs. Marvin in
doing up the dinner dishes. He fol-
lowed her, and in the upper part of
the house Hillman and wife had some
heated discussion. Hillman is said
to have returned to the garage, where
he probably secured the 25-35 rife
with which he committed the crime.
Returning to the house Hillman resum-
ed the discussion with his wife and
she fled downstairs. As she neared
the foot of the stairs Hillman fired
a shot that barely missed his wife
and embedded itself in the wall. She
turned into room nearby, where the
two daughters and the farm hand
were eye witnesses Of the second shot.
4 HilIman entered the room following
his wife, and leveled the rifle that
sent a bullet through her brain, en-
tering close to the ear, and killing
her instantly. The crazed man then
turned toward the girls, who, terrified,
fled from the room. Instead Of pur-
suing them Hillman turned the gun
to his own brain and an instant later
his dead body was beside that Of his
wife.
The Hillmans came to Oregon about
four years ago from Spokane, where
he was druggist. He purchased the
farm on which they we're living, neai
Bethel, in Polk county, and was pros
pering there. He had many friends
both among his neighbors and the
citizens Of Amity, where he was own
er of the moving picture show lis
family was respected one and the
daughters so sadly bereaved will have
the sympathy Of the entire communi-
ty. Coroner Chapman found no -igns
of drinking in connection with the
Thanksgiving dinner, and the only APP
parent cause for the terrible crime
was the quarrel indulged in by the
couple. The Hillmans were about 81
years of age.

SOUTHERN FARMS TOO LARGE
Many Farmers Know Nothing of In
tenslve Farming and Its immense
Profit-Cultivate Too Much.

This is a good time to recall the
story of the German who emigrated
to this country many years ago and
bought twenty acres of land and
settled on it, He had large family,
and one of his new neighbors asked
him if he thought he could make a
living for himself and his family on
twenty acres. Il don't know" was his
reply, but if I find that ! can't can
sell ten acres and live on the other
ten | made a good living and money
besides on ten acres of land in the
old country, and ! can do it here"
Tradition says he made a living on
his twenty acres, but that he got along
much better after his children grew
up and took part of his land off his
hands.
Most farmers in the South cult
vate too much land. Rather they pre-
tend to cultivate it. They have so
much that they can't half cultivate
it. says Anderson IS. c. Mail. They
know nothing about intensive farming,
its economy and its immense profit
and the great pleasure there is in it.
Most farmers in this section could
prosper on one-fourth the land they
are now trying to cultivate They
are land poor, and that is just about
the most distressing form of poverty
that we know of.

NOT A MERE POETIC MYTH
Abundant Proof of the Existence of
Woman Warriors Known as
AmazonS.

For long time Il was held that the
story Of the Amazons. the valiant race
of woman warriors. SO great a favorite
with the Greeks and other people OF
antiquity. was mere poetic myth,
but within recent years archaeological
researches have indicated that there
were indeed woman fighters of high
rank in those remote days
A couple of years ago there was un-
earthed a sepulcher in that part of
Italy known as Etruria. in which was
discovered a war chariot OF bronze
and iron. wherein was crouehed the
skeleton OF a woman. About this
skeleton were the remains of rich
robes and ornaments of gold and ivory
such as, in the old traditions, the
Amazons wore in battle. The bronze
work and the terra Gotta vases fixed
the date of the tomb as about 500 B. C.
The first stories of the Amazons as
signed them to the northeastern part
of Asia Minor. but Etruria was
peopled from Asia Minor and had at
tanned a high degree of skill in certain
of the arts long before Rome was
founded Such evidence as this tomb
affords is, in the opinion of more than
one authority, more convincing than
the pictures of Amazons on the old
vases. or such legends as that of
Queen Penthesila. who was said to
have led 5000 woman fighters to the
aid of Priam during the Trojan war

cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft

obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable rhysi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces. of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
binet with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
