VALLEY & sILETz ACTIVE.
Luckiamute Residents Expect Large
Grew to Appear Soon.

People living in the Luckiamute
country are enthusiastic and see great
prosperity in store for them as a re-
suit of the activities of the Valley q
Siletz railroad company. Within the
last ten days or so the company has
delivered about forty carloads Of
steel along its route, and it is the
opinion of those who have been watch
ing the activities that crew of near
ly 200 men will be put to work in a
very short time. In fact, it is the
word given by officials of the company
that work will be under way before
the end of January. Settlers are con-
stantly coming into the district. along
the new railroad, and their coming is
rapidly increasing the population of
that section of the county. Yesterday
steel was unloaded along the railroad
right-of-way and |. M. Simpson is one
authority for the information that
the construction gang will be at it
with pick and shovel within a fort

SWAN SONG OF PUNCH BOARD
District Attorney Will Enforce Law
After Tonight.

The punch-board brigade has been
ordered to disband by District Attor-
ney Sibley, who has given it this even
ing to muster its members together,
and to complete an inspection of Its
various tickets and chances. During
the year ppnch-board operators have
grown rich in Dallas, and likewise the
players have grown poor. The sim
pie looking punch board is the cause
of many broken dollars and dozens
Of broken pledges. 1t might also be
responsible for broken heart or two
in the cases Of wives who have been
promised fine cut glass water set
OF a ten-pound box of candy if hubby
won at the game. The harmless look
ing punch board, into which one puts
a peg and gets number emitting
him to a chance on some beautiful
prize, is barred from the circle CT
sports in this city. And those ad-
dicted to the habit of punching the
numbers will regret to observe its
demise. There are countless chances
out now on guns, watches, water sets
and what not, that are to be called III
where the winner will be announced
this evening. In many cases all
chances have not been taken and the
merchants who own the boards will he
the loosers. Orders are commands,
however, and prosecution is in store
for any who evade or neglect to OBJ
serve the law. e.

THERMOMETER GOES Low.
Coolest Weather of Year Now Being
Experienced.

Why haven't Dallas people a per
feet right to shiver and hug the fire
these days? The mercury has gone
racing down the thermometer tube
twice this week until it reached the
years lowest temperature at 20 de-
grees above zero. That much cold is
unusual in this particular pant Of the
earth, and those who bundle up have
a perfectly legitimate alibi. In other
parts of the state the thermometer is
breaking records for cold weather,
for instance at Portland, where, in
going down to "a degrees it was colder
than at any time in the past several
years. This morning Dallas tempera-
ture signals registered about "a de-
grees at s O'Clock and yesterday
morning the thermometer was at 20
degrees exactly.

TO IMPROVE CHURCH STREET.
Southern Pacific Company Will Rock
Its Right of Way.

The Southern Pacific company will
forthwith improve either side and be
tween the rails of its track on Church
street between Washington and Oak
streets, the material for which has
been ordered for delivery within the
ensuing few days. AT present there
are several places on this thorough
fare where it is practically impos-
sible for a vehicle to cross the rail-
road track by reason of the iron bands
being far above the grade. 1t is the
purpose of the company to eliminate
this difficulty by placing crushed rock
upon the street and between the rails,
thus making it possible TO traverse
any part thereof without difficulty.

Open Year With Near Beer.

Fixtures are being installed in a
Main street room of the City bank
building by Robert Cofelt and Har-
vey Greenwood; who will open a soft
drinks parlor, and probably a near
beer saloon. shortly after the first of
the year. The owners will fit up a
frst-class place that will have many
of the earmarks of the ordinary sa-
loon, and if the liquid can be secured
will serve near beer in place of the
amber fluid of the saloons of 1915.
The owners say that the beverage they
plan to serve is so nearly like real
beer that only those of the most epi-
curean tastes can distinguish the diff
ference.
