CONTRIBUTE TO GOOD ROADS.
Farmers of District Eighteen and
Four Are Liberal.

Messrs. T. ]. Shipler, A. R. South
wick. Chas. Pierce and A. A. Living
ston, residents of road district IS,
were before the court on Wednesday
in the interest of a strip of road which
branches off the Wallace road, and
two miles from Salem. The people
living on a mile of road recently sub
scribed twenty mills on the valuation
of their property for the improvement
of the highway, the amount aggreget-
ing $3.50. This the county court du-
plicated and a splendid grade has
been made, moving 4160 yards of dirt
and rock in this particular mile. The
subscribers to this fund now ask that
the court arrange to cover the grade
with river gravel. the haul being only
a little over one mile. In district 4,
which adjoins Is on the north, $500
was raised by subscription, while the
grade of the Carrier hill was reduced
by private money. the amount sub
scribed for the purpose being $500.
In district 4, says v. A. Cochran
of that locality. the farmers spread
1900 yards of gravel at half price in
order to have their highway improv-
ed. while at Michigan City at least
$500 was expended by the people to
make a fill, the county furnishing the
tile only.

CITY FUNDS ARE ovERDRAwN.
Curtailment Wherever Possible Rec
commended BY Mayor,

While the council last Monday
evening was considering the purchase
of additional hose with which to wash
the streets the question arose as to
the financial condition of the city,
whereupon the auditor told the coun-
Gil that prior to allowing the bills
that evening there was an overdraft
of $4,000. The claims allowed Mon
day night aggregated approximately
$1,000, which would leave only about
$4,000 on which to go before the in
debtedness limit is reached. OF course
the city will receive further funds
when the second half of the tax col
lections come in, which will be this
fall.
In discussing the question of fl
nances Mayor kirkpatrick said to the
council that Dallas would not have
sufficient money with which to con-
duct municipal business until the first
of January, and recommended that
the administration curtail at every
possible point, and that no warrants
be issued after the limit had been
reached. Later during the session
Mr.. Young took up the same SUBJ
ject, his views coinciding with those
of the mayor. He insisted that claims
presented for payment be itemized.
and carefully audited before being
allowed.

TENT MEETINGS TO CLOSE.
Subjects Discussed BY Lecturers Dur
ing the Past Week.

The subject Wednesday night at the
Adventist tent was Faith or Faith
and Pennance." In other words, can
one make himself good so far as his
past life is concerned by being good
in the future. The speaker said that
justification is not by keeping the law.
but by faith in Christ. He quoted
where the bible compares Gods law
to a looking glass, whose use is to
show the spots on the character, and
also to schoolmaster both of which
point the sinner to Christ for cleans
ing from sin. And yet, he said, that
If one wander away from Christ the
thing which pointed him to Christ in
the first place will again turn him in
His direction, showing that it is still
in existence and not as some would
have us believe, abolished.
On Thursday night the subject Of
baptism was taken up and character
lied as both a wedding and funeral
married to Christ after being dead
to sin. The speaker undertook to show
that that which preceded baptism in
the times of the apostles was instruc-
ton and repentance, and that which
baptism was more instruc-
ton to prove which be quoted Christ's
commission to his disciples as record
ed in Matt. 2S:1S-20 and many other
texts. AS to the mode of baptism the
speaker cited the example of Jesus
and that of Philip, when he baptized
the unrich, which showed definitely
that the method which they used was
which, he said. demon
strated that that method is a safe
one, and as there is no other method
given to me which either Jesus or his
disciples followed, it is the only safe
mode.
The subject this evening will be
Trying to Deceive God" The meet
ngs will close Sunday evening. The
attendance continues to be large.

HOP CONDITIONS ARE GOOD.
Bountiful Crop viii Result From
Continued Favorable Weather.

Weather conditions in the Pacific
northwest and especially in Oregon
are being watched closely by hop buy
ers throughout the world. If weather
conditions remain good as at present
during the next 10 or IL days, there
need be practically no fear that the
Oregon crop will range below 10000
to 160,00 bales. If cool weather re-
turns with rains then damage to both
quality and quantity may be expected.
Some small damage has already re-
suited from honey dew but it is not
serious enough to consider as fac
tor.
The hop market has frizzled out,
At the moment there is absolutely
nothing doing in the market either
for spot or contract goods. A cable
from London today quotes decline
of 5 shillings there. This decline is
not being accepted by Pacific coast in
terests. With picking about to start
in California there is no inclination
to contract there and with the lower
prices available for spot the market is
a lifeless affair. Leaders of the trade
here attribute the weakness and de-
cline to the fact that England has
found that it was bidding against it.

vancing prices too rapidly.

SIGNATURES HARDER TO GET.
Garfield Expresses Belief That Re

County Surveyor Garfield, who is
largely instrumental for the recall
movement. told a representative of
The Observer yesterday that there
was no question but what the petitions

names to present the issue to the peo-
pie for their approval or rejection.
He stated that during the past few
days signatures were more difficult to

be no failure in the efforts of the re-
actionists to GUST the county court.
Mr.. Garfield also invited the prose-
cutting attorney to make an investiga-
ton of the claims set forth in the
petitions, being willing, he said, to
present his side of the case to the
grand jury, which Mr.. Sibley has
signified his intention of convening
for the purpose of looking into the
matter. 1t appears to be an indis-
putable fact that the financial con-

represented, but that it was done ma

Latest advices from the stranded
automobile party, which included
Paul Hunter, Lou. Muscott, Ralph
Bennett and Horace Webster. was to
the effect that with good luck they
would be able to get back to Dallas in
time to receive their Christmas gifts.
The party's automobile went wrong
near Rose Lodge, on Salmon river,
and 1t was necessary to telephone to
this city and thence to Portland for
parts. The parts. however. failed to
arrive by parcels post until yesterday
morning. when the repairs were made

OLCOT7 MAY CONTINUE
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT BEING
DISCUSSED BY LAWYERS.
Research Discloses Fact That Ap-
poinunent for Unexpired Term
Does Not Count.

| Constitutional lawyers are stirring
up discussion regarding the pos
sible reelection of Ben w. Olcott as
secretary of state when his term ex-
pires in -January, 1917. Here is the
section of the law on which the ques-
tion is based:
Article vi, section 1, constitution of
Oregon: There shall be elected by
the qualified electors of the state, at
the time and places of choosing MEM
bers of the legislative assembly, a
secretary and treasurer of state, who
shall severally hold their offices for
the term of four years; but no per-
son shall be eligible to either of said
offices more than eight, in any period
of IL years"
But Article. II, section ~, tells an
other story.
Mr.. Olcott, the present secretary of
state, was appointed by Governor
West on April II, 1911, to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of the late
Frank w. Benson, who had been
elected in the general election of 1910,
for a period of four years. In 1912
Olcott was renominated and elected to
succeed himself, and now claims to be
election, Notwithstanding the fact
that Benson's term, which he was fill
ing, would have expired in the general
election of 1914.
Lawyers who profess to know the
ins and outs of the constitution have
differed on the status of Olcott. Some
have contended that Olcott, in 1912,
would not have been elected for four
years, but only for the two unexpired
years of the Benson term, thus max
ing his term of office and with that
of the governor and state treasurer
as has been the rule since the con-
stitution was adopted in 1857. The
view taken by Olcott is that he was
elected for four years and is now fin
ishing the second biennium of the
four-year term which expires in 1917,
at which time he will have occupied
the position of secretary of state for
six years.
1nasmuch as Olcott is expected to
seek reelection, politicians and the
lawyers are wondering
he can hold office after jan
uary, 1919, or the middle of the term
for which he will possibly seek cleo
ton There is even rumors of a pos
sible suit to oust him from office in
the middle of the term, say January,
1919.
Those who have discussed the angle |
from this viewpoint, apparently are
not so familiar with the constitution
rs might be supposed, for here is the
section which takes the curse off the
eight-year provision so far as Olcott
S concerned:
Article II, section 12. 'In all cases
n which it is provided that an office
hall not be filled by the same person
or more than a certain number of
'ears continuously, an appointment
,ro tempore shall not be reckoned a
,art of that term"
By this provision, the appointment
which Olcott received from Governor
Vest cannot be included. so that in
ddition to the temporary appoint
nent Olcott can serve two full four
ear terms.-Telegram. {

News of the death of Mrs. Palmer.
who was found dead near Black Rock
in June now familiar to Observer
readers, reached a sister of the de-
ceased, Mrs. o. @. Bartels. at New
Braunsfels, Texas, and that lady
writes to the last known address of
the deceased seeking information. The
letter was addressed to Mrs. Palmer
at Park Place, Clackamas county. and
was forwarded from there to Black
Rock, from where it was sent to Cor
oner Chapman this week, and through
his office and that of The Observer
the Texas relatives will receive the
story of the woman's demise. The
sister insists that the story of death
as printed cannot be true and express
es the belief that death was due to
sorrow rather than a breaking down
of health. speaking of the physical
development and culture of the de-
parted one. Mrs. Bartels says that
she is desirous Of having the body

CANADA THISTLE is STUBBORN.
Its Eradication Next to Impossible
After Good Headway is Gained.

That the much dreaded weed, Cana
da thistle, wherever it exists in Polk
county, should be eradicated before
1t spreads is shown from the fact
that Messrs. John Grant and Chet.
Coad have spent three years in an at
tempt to eliminate the noxious weed
from three acres of land near this
city, and are but now reaping the
benefit of their labors. A number of
years ago Mr.. A. s. Crider, father of
Jake and Lee Crider, sent east for
seed and with it came the Canada
thistle which has pestered the terri
tory Immediately west of town. Not
realizing the damaging effects of the
weed at the time no effort was made
to prevent it from going to seed, and
this was blown by the wind to the
Levens place adjoining, now owned by
Messrs. Grant and Coad. It's spread
was rapid, and those in position to
know whereof they speak aver that
the three acres in question carried an
annual crop" of the weed that stood
thicker than wheat.
One entire season was spent in
plowing, discing and narrowing the
land, but without avail, so the fol-
lowing season the owners gave the
land to a fellow for the growing of
potatoes, hoping that by frequently
hoeing the roots would be killed. This
year the tract still shows signs of
Canada thistle, and the warfare is
still raging, with good prospects of
success. On Tuesday District Attor
ney Sibley, however, brought stalk
of the thistle measuring nearly four
feet in height from fence corner on
this place. The owners had annoint-
ed it with an acid solution as an ex-
pertinent, believing that through this |
method they might finally eradicate it |
rom the place.

FARMER KILLED BY BULL
MAN FIGHTS FOR LIFE NEAR
PERRYDALE.
Torn-up StubbIefield, Lost Hat, Brok-
en- Club, Crushed Body, Tell
Tragic Tale.

Frederick c.. Phillips, a farmer,
aged 46 years, while on the farm of
Mr.. Houcks, about two and one-half
miles west of Perrydale, on the Per-
rydale-Amity road, was killed by a
bull between the hours of six and
eight o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The
body of Mr.. Phillips was discovered
about eight o'clock by Mr.. Houcks,
and it was evident that life had left
the body about an hour previously.
There were no witnesses to the trag-
edy and indications point to strug-
gle that must have lasted for nearly
an hour.
The victim of the mad bulls as
sault was in the employ of Houcks as
farm hand, his home being at
Whiteson where his wife and four
children were soon apprised of the
fate of their loved one. Mr.. Phillips
had been hauling wheat and had de-
livered his last load Of the day to the
granary when he started to water his
team, expecting to return soon to as
sist Mrs. Houcks at milking time.
From that time he was not seen until
Mr.. Houcks discovered the crushed
body in the field, where the wild brute
WHICH ldu Deen tne cause OF the sac
death still stood guard over the lifeless
FORM. Mr.. Phillips hat was found
some 200 yards from the scene of his
death, and this, with unmistakable
signs of gruesome struggle in the
stubble field, broken stick that had
been reduced to splinters in the fight
for life, convinced both Mr.. Houcks
and County Coroner Chapman of this
place of the truth. Mr.. Chapman was
called to the scene about nine o'clock,
and makes his report to the court sub
as stated. No reason can
be found for the visit of Mr. Phillips
to the field as there was no need for
his entering the enclosure at this
time. The encounter took place about
of mile from the
home.
The funeral was held yesterday
at 10 o'clock and burial took
place at Whiteson. Besides the wife
and children deceased leaves a broth
er and mother near Amity and a
brother in Eastern Oregon.

MUCH SPECULATION RIFE.
Closing of Falls City SawmiII Causes
Considerable Comment There.

NioSlnS OI rdllS Slty SdWnlil OduSeS
Considerable Comment There.
There is some speculation as to
when the sawmill at Falls City will
resume operations, regarding which
there are many rumors af1oat at that
place. 1t is reported that the present
operators are to be succeeded in the
management by the bondholders, and
that the Falls City Lumber company
is being reorganized and placed upon
an even more substantial financial ba-
sis. Another report is to the effect
that the Spaulding company is go
ing to take over the plant and operate
it in the future. Whatever may be
the proper dope" on the situation,
there is a strong probability that the
mill will resume cutting in the not
very distant future. There is large
investment there, and to allow the
plant to remain idle for any consid-
cradle length of time would result in
heavy loss The work of extending
the logging road into the timber is
going forward, which is only another
indication that some satisfactory plan
for operating the mill is under way.
The people of Falls City are hope
full that something will be doing soon,
as upon this industry many heads of
families are dependent. Several have
recently left the place in search of
elsewhere, while others,
who have long been in the service of
the concern, are holding on awaiting
