Many New silos at Monmouth.

Much activity in building silos
within the past two weeks is reported
from the farms in the vicinity Of
Monmouth. Especially within the past
week has there been rapid increase
in the number of silos to be found.
1t is said that fifteen frst-class struc-
lures were erected in that time.
Where farmers had but one silo there
are now two and in more than one
case, three. This is attributed to the
rapid increase in size of dairy herds
in the district. The new feed store
houses are now being filled, and it is
expected that the farmers will find
shortage of corn for the purpose.
That district hasn't sufficient corn to
fill all the new structures and their
builders did not take this shortage in
TO consideration when they hurried
the completion of the new silos.

FATHER FORCES MARRIAGE.
Elopers Found at Vancouver and Par
ent Witnesses Union of Couple,

There was no prosecution in the
case of Edwin Johnson, 25, and Is
year-old Ruth Thompson, the couple
that eloped from Blodgett last Sun
day. The irate father of the young
girl followed the pair to Vancouver
where johnson had been held by the
civil authorities on charge of abb
duction. Instead, Mr.. Thompson took
the couple before Judge R. H. Back
and witnessed their marriage in the
Vancouver courthouse on Thursday.
The couple eloped from Blodgett last
Sunday, going to Roseburg, where
they attempted Ito secure license and
Tuesday evening they returned to
Vancouver. On Wednesday when they
at the courthouse to take
out a marriage license, notice had
reached the sheriff's office and the
pair was arrested and held until
Thursday, awaiting the arrival of
Miss Thompson s father and the sher-
iff of Benton county. Upon the ar
rival of Mr. Thompson the pair was
turned over to the sheriff and the
father marched them upstairs to the
Judges chambers, where they were
luietly married.

DEPUTIES JOIN SEARCH.
Pat Murphy and Independence Force
Look for Peculiar Thief.

One of the deputy sheriffs at Inde-
pendence received call from Falls
City last week requesting him to ap-
prehend E. Bruce, who had stolen
shotgun and other things from the
cabin of "Gypsy" Joe in the Siletz
basin, and a merry time was started
in both cities. AT Independence the
several deputies kept watchful eyes
wide open for a light complexioned,
bald headed, grey moustached and
blue-eyed nervous man about five feet,
eight inches tall, who was heading
toward Albany, and when spoken to
would wheel round suddenly, and
walked with a hobbling gait. All this
information was given over the phone
by stranger, who also told his story
to Pat Murphy, Falls City marshal.
The search was concluded, however,
late in the evening when Pat saw his
informant in the last stages of a
beautiful reunion with Falls City in
toxicants.

A REAL GYPSY WEDDING.
Band Near Independence Holds Gay
Nuptial Ceremony.

What was perhaps the first gypsy
wedding ceremony ever celebrated in
Polk county was an event of last
week at independence. The "cere-
mony" started on Tuesday morning
and concluded on Wednesday evening
with a great burst of speed, charac-
terized as a Gypsy high jinx. The
principals in the interesting affair,
about fifty in number, were camped
at the state fair grounds during the
time of the fair, but fire water, dear
Ito the Gypsy heart, was too scarce in
that vicinity, so the tribe moved its
belongings to Independence and
pitched colony of tents. The Salem
band attended the ceremony, receiv-
ing good American coin for its SER
vices. The band music was a feature
of the opening Of the ceremony on
Tuesday morning and on the follow
ing morning the band played for a
dance given by the party. The dusky
couple which was tremendously unit
ed, decked out in the most gaudy col
ors in silk and satins and were orna-
mepted with cheap jewelry. The king
of the Gypsy band "ofliciated" at the
ceremony.

Falls City in Darkness.

The water is lower in the Little
Luckiamute than for many years, and
as a consequence that city is prae-
tically in darkness, an insufficient
quantity being available to operate
the electric lighting plant. MIR. Claud
Ellison, who recently became the sole
owner Of the system, hopes by next
season to have made improvements
to the plant that will insure lights
even though the water be low, but at
present he is helpless and devotes the
greater part of his time to listening
to complaints and in praying for rain.

REAL LOGANBERRIES.
College Authorities Explode Burbank
Statement.

That the famous loganberry juice
as produced in Oregon is made from
the loganberry and not from the phe-
nomenal berry, is the declaration of
Professor C. |. Lewis, chief Of the
Agricultural College Department of
Horticulture. This declaration is sub
stantiated by the men chiefly instru-
mental in propagating the loganberry
and the phenomenal berry in this
state.
1t has been widely reported that
Luthur Burbank, the originator of
the phenomenal berry, has said that
the Oregon berry grown and market
ed as the loganberTy is not the logan
berry at all, but is the phenomenal.
He is further reported to have said
that the real loganberry is greatly
inferior berry, being small and of
little account, and that in some man.
nef' the phenomenal became known as
the loganberry.

ARRESTED FOR RESISTANCE.
Warden Bremmer Has Interesting
Session With Pheasant Hunter.

After paying a fine OF $50 and
court costs William F. Breitzkie has
decided that the high cost Of living
is materially increased by offering re-
sistance to a game warden. On Thurs
day evening when Warden Roy Brem-
mer asked the gentleman to permit
an inspection of his very weighty and
suspicious looking game bag Breitzl1ie
Tefused and turned his gun danger
ously close to the pit of certain un-
armed warden's stomach. Bremmer
then asked to see the hunters license
and when Breitzkie refused this the
warden warned him that he was
treading on dangerous ground, and
left him. On Friday about the time
Bremmer was swearing to complaint
against the man, he appeared and
gave himself up to the authorities,
having been told by friends the pen
atty that he was liable to. Breitzkie
pleaded guilty before Justice Hol-
man. who fined him $50 and an addi-
tional S. for court costs. The hunter
also forfeited his license.

Salem to Have Market Day.

The Salem Commercial club has ap.
pointed a committee to make plans
for a farmers market and sales day
The Dallas Commercial club did the
same thing about a month ago, after
plans had already been practically
worked out by F. E. Davis. "But, u
say those who have followed the fid.
ding Of the local committee, "Salem
will probably hold its first market
day a month before the Dallas OF.

1t is reported from Falls City, on

gineers will commence surveying for

ated in connection with the lumber

have extensive timber holdings in the
territory to be tapped by the propos-
ed railroad, will soon come into pos
session Of the manufacturing plant in
the city by the falls, and will con
duct the same on a large scale, re-

SoEHREN AND GWINN PAY.
For Shooting From Public Highway
Citizens Are Held.

W. L. Soehren and Everett Gwinn
made up a purse on Saturday to con-
tribute to the large fund that is be-
ing gathered from game law violators.
Soehren and Gwinn were guests of a
third party and were riding along the
highway when the host spied a pretty
pheasant. He missed the bird, but
the game warden got the number of
Soehren's car and swore out com
plaint against him on Saturday.
Neither Soehren or Gwinn were re-
sponsible for the shooting, they say.
but rather than divulge the name of
their host they contributed equal
shares to the fine of s25 and costs
that was assessed against them by
Justice Holman.

POULLAS SELLS LIQUOR
SHERIFF ORR CATCHES ALIEN
AT BOOTLEGGING.
Transient Commits Two Grimes in
One Day-Will Spend Fifty Days
in Sheriff Orr's Hotel.

You re a sweet-scented scoun-
drel,'' cried Sheriff Orr, as he quietly
stepped from nowhere, in the vicini-
lty of the high school building, on Sat
urday night and collared William
Poullas, as he was taking dollar for
a bottle of whiskey from a customer.
The sheriff had arrested the man ear.
lier in the day for stealing a pair of
gloves from an employe of the Sunrise
hotel, and he was fined $3.50 for that
offense. Poullas is Greek OF Ital-
ian, and had only been in the city a
few days. He will remain here for
fifty days, however, as a special guest
of Sheriff Orr, as result of the SEN
tence imposed upon him on Monday
morning by Justice Holman, who ask
ed for a fine of $10O or fifty days in
Jail. The culprit accepted the Jail.
Poulas was soliciting on the street
Saturday evening and attracted the
sheriff's attention when he stopped
two men and piled his trade with
them. The men parted company with
Poullas and went toward the high
school building with the sheriff fol-
lowing closely. Soon the bootlegger
appeared and transferred a pint bot
tie of whiskey into the keeping of
his patron, taking therefor a silver
dollar. No sooner than he had the
money safely in his hand when Sher-
iff Orr nabbed him. So sudden was
the shock that Poullas dropped his
and in reply to the sheriff's
said, eyes, I guess I
am" When he was lodged in Jail
Poullas was searched and his pockets
yielded seven pint bottles of the fiery
liquid. 1t is the belief that the boot
legger disposed of great quantity
If the stuff before he was arrested.
Poullas pleaded guilty to the charge
against him when he was arraigned
before Justice Holman yesterday
morning, and was sentenced to fifty
lays in Jail, or the alternative Of pay
ng a fine of $100.

HELD TO THE GRAND JURY.
Charles Stinnett Will Be Tried on
Serious Charge.

Charles E. Stinnett, farmer living
near town, was indicted by the grand
jury yesterday on two counts, as
sault with dangerous weapon and
threat to commit felony by shooting
his wife. At hearing before Judge
Belt, Stinnett pleaded not guilty to
both charges. The man is elderly and
is the father of well-known and
reputable family. Several outbreaks
are said to have recently occurred in
his household. In the rampage on
Sunday Stinnett is reported to have
attacked his wife with pistol and
threatened her life. He alarmed mem
bers of the family and they appealed
for assistance, with the result that
the case was brought to the attention
of the grand jury.
1t is common belief that the man
is mentally unbalanced. The circuit
court will convene again tomorrow
and after disposing of damage case,
will hear Stinnett s case.

Pat Investigates Scare.

Pat Murphy, good Irish marshal of
Falls City, investigated a burglar
scare at the home of Lloyd Ellis late
last week and is now undecided as
to whether he got into a burglarized
or haunted house. Mrs. Ellis and
Velma Miller were in the house when
they heard footsteps on the stairs.
They speedily deserted the house and
called the marshal from the home of
Mrs. Mary Miller. Murphy searched
the premises carefully, found moth
ing missing and everything in prop
er order. If there were thieves in
the house they retreated before the
object of their visit was completed.
Mr.. Ellis was out hunting when the
incident occurred.

QUARRY TO Be OPENED
DEPOSITS NEAR BRIDGEPORT
WILL EMPLOY MANY.
Oswego- Portland Cement Company
Grew Laying Track to Property.
Operation to Start at Once.

That work will be started within
the next few days on the property oi
the Oregon-P Portland cement company
is a welcome announcement to tht
many in Dallas and other parts Of
the county, who are interested in this
important industry. Within the past
week stakes have been set for the
railroad spur from Bridgeport to the
company's property about 4 miles
southwest of town and at the present
time teams are engaged in hauling
ties to the right of way. The grade
for the road bed was built about three
years ago and approximately mile
Of track was laid at that time. But
operations were suspended pending
the reorganization of the company,
and from the manner in which the
company is again taking up the work
it is evident that it means business.
The survey of the property and es-
tablishment of lines was made by s.
B. Taylor and his crew and it is ex-
pected that before the week is ended
the company will have large crew at
work laying tracks.
According to the word received
here the company contemplates de-
velopment of its limestone deposits as
soon as the trackage is completed. 1t
is said that under the extensive scale
which development is proposed that
about Is men will be employed at the
quarry as soon as it is opened. Presi-
dent Aman Moore said, at the time
reasonable railroad rate was prom
ised between Dallas and the plant at
Oswego, that development would not
be delayed. But the track laying
crew went quietly to work and had
made much progress before the fact
that it was at work was discovered.
All possible haste will be made to get
the track laid, and, according to plans
the quarry will be Immediately open
ed.
The new road, together with the
other portions that are being built,
will be called the Oswego, Dallas &
Roseburg railroad, subsidiary of the
Portland Cement dompany. Aman1
Moore of the cement company, said
Saturday night that four miles of
track would be built at Roseburg,
three and half at Dallas and two
and half at the Oswego plant. The
owns limestone quarries at
Roseburg and Dallas and the road
now being laid by the Oswego, Dallas
& Roseburg company will connect the
with the Southern Pacific.
Work on the track at Oswego has be-
gun and will be completed within 60
lays, Mr.. Moore said. The company
S now being reincorporated and Mr..
Moore refused to predict when its
0swego plant would be opened.

dence grocers, $25 in the justice court
