BENNETT MAY BE RETAINED.
Resolutions Adopted at Quarterly
Session of Methodist Board.

Resolutions were adopted at the
quarterly conference of the Methodist
church board on Tuesday evening ask
ing that the Rev. G. III. Bennett be
allowed to retain his charge in Dallas.
These resolutions will be brought up
at the annual conference of the
church at Roseburg on September 25,
and will probably mean that Rev.
Bennett will remain in Dallas. Elder
Moore, district superintendent, of Sa-
lem, was at the conference and ex-
pressed the opinion that the Roseburg
meeting would not reverse the wish of
the Dallas congregation. Mrs. F. III.
Morrison, secretary of the church
board, presented a financial report
which indicated the sound condition
of the church treasury. Will Miller
read a report on Sunday school work
for the quarter, which showed de-
crease in attendance during the sum-
mer months although the showing was
very favorable for that period.
Elder Moore announced his retire
ment from the office of district super
after the end of the present
fiscal year. Mr.. Moore has been in
office for six years, which is the limit
under the laws of the church organi-
zatian

bers to convene at the county court
house on Thursday, September 16, to

tant Investigations. The docket at

ceny in some form. Harry Hunni-
cut and j. B. Shea, charged with

Mo Electric 10 paIls city.

A report that has been given some
credence in Dallas is to the effect that
the Southern Pacific company was
considering the electrifcation of its
lines from Salem to Falls City. Rail
road officials said to The Observer
yesterday that this rumor was abso-
lutely false and that such thing was
not even thought of in Southern Pa
eife circles. The road to Corvallis
from Whiteson will be completed be-
fore further development is started,
but new work will not be the con-
strueting Of an electric line from Sa-
lem to Falls City.

COURT 1NsPECTs ROAD.
Hard Surface Construction May Be
Started in Polk Next Year,

Judge Teal, with County Commits
sioners G. A. Wells and C. W. Beckett
made trip into the Siletz basin on
Wednesday to inspect the county
roads and bridges in that district. The
trip consumed the entire day and was
made very interesting by the splendid
views the trio had of the surrounding
hills and valleys through field-glass
carried by the judge. The roads are
in very good condition, according to
these gentlemen, considering the coun-
try traversed, and no trouble of any
kind was experienced by Commission
er Wells, who drove his automobile
on the trip. In the Indian reserva-
ton the party inspected the recently
completed suspension bridge which
the commissioners say is very salts
factory. Yesterday the same party
went to Salem and examined the hard
surfaced roads in that district. 1t
is entirely possible, in fact, very like
ly, that the court will advocate the
construction of hard surfaced high
ways in this county next year. 1t is
unofficially reported that the first
hard surface construction in Polk
county will be on the road from West
Salem to Brunk s corner, through the
Eola hills, and after that is done fur
ther development will be rapid until
it eventually includes all the main
travelled roads in the county.

First Prunes Arrive.

The first shipment of prunes re-
ceived at the Armsby packing plant
this year were brought in on We'd
nesday from the orchard of J. N.
Conn, short distance south of town.
The consignment included 25 sacks,
only q small part, of the crop from
this orchard, but it marks the begin
ming of the packing season. From now
on for many weeks fruit will arrive
at the plant and expectation will be-
gin very soon. Manager A. C. Peter
son intends to let the fruit that comes
in accumulate in the bins for about
two weeks, when packing will be
started.

Field Crops in Oregon.

More than 40 per cent Of Oregon Is
agricultural products are field crops,
according 10 recent estimates. These
consist chiefly of grains, hay, hops,
root crops and green forage. They
are important not alone for the in
come they produce, but because Of
their relation to other sources of in
.come-livestock, dairy and poultry
products, aggregating sixty millions
Of dollars. The importance of the
field crop industries Of the state jus
titles the policy Of the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
extension division of the Agricultural
college in placing a farm management
specialist in the charge Of farm sur
vey work to learn how to make farm
ing operation more efficient and salts

INJURED MAN DIES.
Timber Man, Unconscious for Several
Days, With Broken Back.

J. H. Full, whose back was broken
between the shoulder blades last week,
died at the Dallas hospital on We'd
nesday evening. Mr.. Full was tim
ber-faller in the employ of the
Spaulding Lumber company and was
working near that company's camp
above Black Rock when the fatal ac-
cident occurred. A heavy snag loos-
ened from a tree he was telling and
struck his back and shoulder, break
ing the vertebrae squarely between
the shoulder blades. The blow com
pletely paralyzed the body below the
break and he did not regain conscious
ness before his death. He leaves a
wife and two children who are at their
home near Eagle Creek in Clackamas
county.
DIR. A. B. Starbuck, who attended
the injured man, says that an injury
such as this was has resulted in death
in ninety per cent Of the cases he has
observed.

JUDGE PUTS ONE OVER.
ATTORNEYS CLAIM THEY WERE
BoOMERANGED IN MARION.
Holman and Tooze Allege Irregulari-
ties on Part Of officials in Man
damus Proceedings.

Attorneys Tooze and Holman of
this city have instituted mandamus
proceedings in Marion county to conn
pei the county court there to pay
pensions to eleven widows, and the
hearing has been set for September
20. These widows had made applica-
tions for pensions under the law,
which was denied them by the county
court, it being the practice Of Judge
Bushey to disallow all such petitions
for financial assistance. The action is
probably based on the court ruling in
this county, wherein Mrs. Zachary
was granted pension upon an order
Of the supreme court after having
been denied payment.
A new angle in the widow Is pension
cases filed against the county court of
Marion county on Tuesday to make
County Judge Bushey comply with
the law. appeared Wednesday. It
seems that prior to fling the cases,
Attorney Holman carefully examined
the records in the county clerk IS Of
flee and found that no orders Of any
kind whatsoever had been made in
the cases by the county judge of Mar
ion county. Acting upon this investi-
cation, the petitions for writs of man
damus and the orders for the writs,
signed by Judge Galloway, were. fled
with the county clerk, and, inciden-
tally, the necessary filing fees in the
sum of $S5 paid to the county clerk,
$25 in cash and $50 by check. All
seemed to be going merrily, until Mr..
Holman later in the afternoon, in
again going into the clerks Office,
heard the name of one Of his clients
mentioned. Investigating the cause
thereof, he learned, according to his
statement, that as fast as one deputy
clerk filed the petitions and orders
for writs of mandamus, another depu-
ty clerk was taking and entering or
ders in each Of the original cases as
dictated by the county Judge The
purpose Of the orders made by the
county Judge was to defeat the man-
damus proceedings and compel the
various widows interested to appeal
their cases, says the attorney. The
county judge evidently hoped in this
manner to boomerang all the cases,
feeling that the widows would be
unable to get anyone to go upon their
appeal bond, further says the attorney
The action of the court
had the effect of defeating the man
damus proceeding, and Attorney Hol-
man Immediately asked to withdraw
all the petitions and orders filed, and
asked for return of his filing fees
This the clerk refused. Acting upon
the ground that the clerk s office and
the county Judge acted in fraudu-
lent manner in concealing from them
the fact that the county judge was
orders in the cases as fled,
upon the check for $50 was
and Mr.. Holman and Mr..
Tooze state that the end is not yet.
