SCRIPT Is DENOUNCED.
Hotels of Oregon Refuse to Accept It
From Statesmen.

After a talk by Henry Serr of Dal-
las the Oregon Hotel association, in
session at Portland this week, went
unanimously on record as being
against the acceptance of so called
hotel script in lieu of cash for hotel
bills. Attention was called by Mr..
Serr to practice of certain promoters
in signing up one hotel in each town
to accept script which the promoters
sell at discount to commecial firms.
These script books are given to
salesmen instead of entrusting them
with cash for their expenses. Hotels
that accept the script send it to the
promoters for redemption, the com
mission exacted by the scrip compan-
les being 10 per cent gross. Such
hotel scrip was scored by members of
the association as being highly per-
nicious, in that it took from the ho-
tel man profits that should rightly be

BOOKS SHOW MANY VISITORS.
More Than 11,000 Place Cognomens
on Registers in 1915.

Between January /, 1915, and De-
cember IL of the same year, 9,211
names were written on the register at
Gail hotel, the greater number of
which persons were visitors to Dallas.
But this is not indicative of the bus
mess transacted during this period,
for, according to Mr.. Serr, the land
lord, more than three times that num-
ber of "locals" took meals at the
hostelry without registering. Adding
to this an estimated number of 1000
registering at The Imperial during
the nine months that that hotel was
open during the year, brings the num-
Der of visitors to Dallas hotels up to
the handsome figure of more than H.
900.
Dallas is considered one of the best
towns in the valley from the CONNER
cial tourists standpoint, and the
knight of the grip is largely in evi-
dence on the register at the Gail.
While other towns in this territory
have been oppressed by stringent f.
nancial conditions of the past year,
Dallas has more than held its own,
and is coming out of the depression
with her colors flying. Like an eagle
pluming its wings for higher flight,
Dallas is planning new things for the
future that cannot fail to be of ma.
terial benefit TO the community.

WINS BACK BABE
JUDGE BELT REVERSED IN BOW
ERS' CHILD CASE.
JUVENILE coURTGETs CUSTODY
Lengthy Legal Battle for Possession
Of Marion Bowers, Takes Her
From Custody of Grants.

The supreme court on Tuesday held
that the juvenile court of Multnomah
county and not the county court Of
Polk county has exclusive jurisdiction
in the case of Marion Bowers, aged
four years, over whose custody con-
Aroversy has been waged for two
years. The action of Circuit Judge
Belt in dismissing habeas corpus
petition of Mollie Bowers, mother of
the child, who contended that the
Polk county court had no authority
to decide who was fit and proper
person to have the care Of the child
and that such exclusive jurisdiction
was vested in the Multnomah county
court, was reversed.
July l, 1918, the Portland juvenile
court made an order awarding the
mother the custody of the child until
further order Of the court. Mr.. and
Mrs. John Stump, grandparents Of
the child, had agreed to take the
child, the order said. In November,
1913, Mrs. Bowers left the child with
Mr.. and Mrs. Milt B. Grant of this
city, however. About February l,
1914, Mrs. Bowers demanded posses
sion of the child and Mr.. Grant re-
fused to surrender her. Thereupon
the mother undertook to spirit the
child away to Portland, but was un-
successful.
On September 25, 1914, the county
court of Polk county made an order
giving Mr.. and Mrs. Grant custody of
the child. On February 9 the Multi
nomah county court made new order
and recited that John Stump, grand
father of the child, had died since the
first order was issued, and that Mol
lie Bowers, the mother, was in a po-
sition to give the child good home,
and revoked the order as to giving
the child to the Stumps. Thereafter
Mrs. Bowers started habeas corpus
case. The court holds in an opinion
by Chief Justice Moore, that to per-
nit any other court than that which
had original jurisdiction to interfere
with ward, when duly adjudged to
be such, would create interminable
difficulties.
As result of the decision, Mr.. and
Mrs. Grant, who have had charge Of
the child for two years, must sur
render her to her mother, and if they
wish to regain her custody they must
apply to the juvenile court Of Multi
nomah county. Walter L. Tooze, Jr.,
has represented the Multnomah coun-
ty juvenile court throughout the pro-
ceedings and J. E. Sibley and G. o.
Holman have handled the case for
Mr.. and Mrs. Grant.

BAND MAKES HEADWAY.
Rehearsing for Concert to Be Given
in Near Future.

An unusually successful year is just
closing for the Dallas brass hand
which expects to bring its work to a
very fitting climax during the holi-
days with public concert at which
the talents of the members and the
organization as a whole will be shown
For the past several weeks the mem
bers have been practicing diligently
on a repertoire of entirely new music,
and that their concert will be sue
cess is certain fro mthe keen interest
all are displaying and from the musi-
cal ability that has been brought ,at
by B. A. Downey, director. The band
gave series Of open-air concerts on
the court house square that put it
prominently before the public atten-
tion during the summer months, and
after a successful summer re-organi-
cation was perfected that has mater
tally improved the band. New men,
bers, as well as the best of those who
played under the old order Of things,
allied themselves with the new organ
ization under a new director. Prof.
Downey is proving popular and cap
able leader and his selection of mu-
sic, as well as the way those under
him present it, is greatly enjoyed by
those who have heard the band since
the reorganization.
The Dallas band is a public institu-
ton in that is supported by the bust
ness interests, but after the first Of
the year the city council will make
a monthly appropriation to cover the
expenses of the musicians. They have
appeared publicly on various occa-
sions, such as football games, market
days and the like, and made one trip
to Lebanon with the football team.
The members of the band as it has
been since reorganized are: Professor
B. A. Downey, director; August p
Riser, president; c. B. Williams,
vice-president; C. F. Smith, secre-
tary; W. A. Boydston. treasurer, and
J. R. James, Arnel Wilson. Walter L.

exact figures will not be known until
the bond sale that is being advertised
is completed.
For the next year the city council
has made no definite plans. although
the budget provides good sum for
street improvement and construction
work. That the chief portion OF de-
velopment next year will be centered
on the streets in the east and west
parts of the city is practically con-
ceded. Probable Improvements are
those needed on Clay, Lewis and Lyle.
Plans have been made through coun-
cilmanic action whereby it will be
possible for cement sidewalks to be
constructed under the terms of the
Bancroft bonding act, with property
owners enjoying the privilege of bond
ing for the improvement they make.
Already a number of property owners
have declared that they will take ad-
vantage of this simple way Of pre-
venting a direct outlay of cash capi-
tai for sidewalk construction.

Druggist Wants To Know.

Mr.. Browersox of Monmouth has
made inquiry of Attorney General
Brown concerning lawful means of de-
maturing alcohol to make it unusuable
for drinking and at the same time
non-poisonous. Mr.. Brown says that
the United States internal revenue de-
partment has several formulas for
making alcohol unfit for beverage pur-
poses and that several of the formu-
las are non-poisonous. The Monmouth
pharmacist explains that he wishes 10
carry alcohol in stock for bathing and
antiseptic purposes, but says that the
usual method of mixing wood and
grain alcohol results in a deadly pois-

cluded the cost of 2600 yards of gravel
and rock used in repair work. The
oiling Of fifty-two miles Of highway
in different parts of the county cost
$3,900 AS testimonial of the value
of this work from the viewpoint of the
farmer, or the motorist, ask one of
them and you will learn that the good
taken from the use of oiled roads was
easily worth the expenditure. Sprink-
lers were at work throughout the
spring and early summer months in
permanently laying the dust with
crude oil, and, in contrast to other
roads in the valley, tourists from out
of the county were free to say that
the main travelled highways Of Polk
county were the best in the valley.
Several bridges were constructed dur
ing the season just past and many
others were repaired or rebuilt, cost
ing the county $4,000. The cost of
machinery, tile and culvert pipe used
in the past season was $4,000, accord
ing to Roadmaster Finn's report, and
for the payment of engineering and
oupei PPM, eAiii 'ne oouney ~ o9o 'ioasuiy
these figures it is to be seen that the
total cost of roads and bridges in
i0I' was P'o'oVo
For actual constructive work, how
ever, the greater amount was expend-
ed. Eighteen miles OF standard grade
roadway were built, necessltaItlng the
moving OF approximately 6O,OOO yards
OF earth. This work cost $9,0OO. len
thousand dollars were spent IN crush
ing 65OO yards OF rock, which was
placed on SIX miles OF the grade con-
structed. Twenty-four miles OF grade
were graveled In the year OF l9l5, and
thus were lI000 yards OF rock used,
costing, for rock, labor and all, $l7,-
500. The approximate cost OF regrad-
ing. y miles OF roadway is placed at
$4,000. Therefore, for the construc-
tion of roads $39,5OO were spent by
the county.
That such expenditures should bring
the desired results is not to be de-
MED. County Judge John b. Teal has
well expressed the desires and ambi-
tlons OIL tne county IN regard 10 ROAD
