PLANT WIZARD MAY REMAIN.
Portland Commercial Body Has Plan
Under Amusement.

That the good people of Oregon will
come to the rescue of Father Schoe-
ner, Oregon s Burbank, and enable
him to continue his work in this state,
is the belief of his friends. They say
that Father Schooner labored for the
public good, and now appreciation
should be shown. The loss of his en-
tire collection of plants in Saturday
nights fire is a serious blow to the
Brooks priest. His church, residence
and personal belongings are all gone
and he is left with no clothes beyond
what he wore on the evening of the
fire, and no money. In making his
experiments, Father Schooner spent
his personal money, and the fire leaves
him stranded.
The Portland Chamber of Commerce
has been asked to propose a plan to
keep Father Schooner in the state and
already committee is at work on a
solution of the problem. Father Schoe-
ner's work has been greatly valuable
and the possibilities before him are
recognized by all farmers and others
interested in plant propagation. 1t
would be unfortunate to loose his SER
vices and it is generally hoped that
some plan may be found for keeping
him at Brooks. If retained through
public assistance the priest would
probably devote his entire time to his
and garden work.

weeks Christian Riser passed away

tack of heart paralysis. Mr.. Riser
suffered from auto tocsine about three
weeks ago, and was confined to his

ber of years. Mr. Riser is survived

Board Has Money to Loan.

Word has been received here by
Walter L. Tooze, Jr., agent in this
territory for the state land board,
that that bord has school money avail
able for loaning purposes. in Polk
county. Money from this fund is
loaned on security at 6 per cent in
terest for ten years, and is very de-
sirable for anyone wishing up to Sl1,-
900 at a low rate of interest. The
board appropriates school funds for
loaning purposes at different times,
and when the amount appropriated is
exhausted borrowers must wait until
the board sees fit TO set aside another
fund.

INDIAN QUARTET PLEAsEs.
Organization From Indian Training
School DELIGHTS Audience

What was perhaps one of the most
perfect musical organizations that
has visited Dallas in a number of
years was the Indian String quartet,
from the Indian training school at
Chemawa, that gave a splendid CON
cert at the a1mory last Thursday
evening. The quartet is composed of
three Indian boys, students ait the
training school, and their instructor,
Prof. Turney. The program was com
plete, although the patronage was me-
diocre, and those who heard the tai
ented aborigines were well repaid.
Death of Warrior" and "Braves
on the Chase" were two Indian COM
positions that brought well-merited
applause, and from that the roper
toire ranged through many difficult
and beautiful selections of classical
music. Each of the players was a
talented musician and displayed the
careful instruction that had been Civ
en- by Prof. Turney. Throughout, the
program was spirited, and the ensem-
BILE work little short of marvellous
when one considers that an Indian
youth is bringing such sweet music
from an instrument that is naturally |
entirely foreign to him.
The Interpretation Of Victor Hugo's
great character, Jean Vatican, from
Les Miserables, by Prof. Kennedy,
was fine feature Of the entertain
ment. He had a forceful delivery
and pleasant manner that made one
see many new and interesting angles
10 the famous character.

Ex-Mayor of Portland Visits.

4. G. Rushlight, former mayor of
Portland, and a party of friends in
Guiding Sam Penney, D. c. Soud-
woorth and A. E. Frances came to
Dallas on Tuesday evening and start
ed for the fields early the following
morning in a hopeful search for
pheasants. Two fine pointer dogs and
some dangerous looking heavy artil-
lery composed the equipment that the
party carried in its automobile. Mr.
Rushlight said he expected 10 return
with an auto load of birds, while Mr.
Penney retorted that it was very
"pheasant to cherish such alluring
expectations.

Yield Larger Than Last Year.

The secretary of the Oregon Hop
Growers association, Mr.. Clark, re-
Gently returned from an inspection
tour Of California, and has this to
say of the Polk county district
with the exception Of Independence
hop growing section, there is not a
community of the Pacific coast where
the yield of this year exceeds that of
last year. AT Independence, however,
there will probably be few thousand
bales more than last year, but in 9th
er places the yield is smaller and this
will bring down the average"

Harry Harper for Memo Leibold OF the

How does that trade strike you fans?
Manager Birmingham of the Maps par
don this slip, the Indians. as they are
to be called, would like to add Harper
to his list of pitchers, and expects to
talk trade with Griff in New York today
or tomorrow.
Birmy left Cleveland last night with
Owner Charles w. Somers. both intent
upon the same mission which prompted
Griffith to board the midnight express
in company with President Ben Minor
Cleveland does not relish the proposed
move OF the American League in cutting
down the list Of players to be carried by
a ball club from twenty-five to twenty
one or possibly twenty. and will vote
against this form or rctrcnchment
Returning TO the subject OF a swap.
Harper for Leibold. The Hcrald's Clevc-
land correspondent in talking with Bir-
minGham learned that the young man
ager wanted Harper. and would be will
ing to talk trade. offering Lcibold for
the lanky sOuthpaw.
1t will be remembered that last summer
when Griff was in bad way for out
fielders owing to the accident which
befell Clyde Milan, that he tried to get
the Cleveland club to part with LeibOld
There was nothing doing.
Now Birmingham appears to be willing
to part with the little chap. but de-
mands in exchange Harry Harper.
The writer asked Griff IL he would be
willing to enter into such a bargain.
The Old Fox shook his head saying:
I'D give Birmingham Harper for Joe
jackson. but couldn't think of any
other swap. I don't need outfielders-
I've got all I want and | have a hunch
that Harper will before long develop
into a good pitcher"
At the American League meeting
scheduled for New York today, the
player limit question is sure to be the
most important likely to come up. Grif-
fifth is against it and will probably do
a lot of lobbying before the meeting
in the hopes OF getting enough club
owners to vote with him in an effort
to defeat the measure.
IT'S like this explained the Old
Fox. before leaving for Gotham. the
Washington ball club cannot afford to
go out and pay fancy prices for minor
league stars, and we must be content
to develop our own players. II l am
forced to cut down on my list the club
will be handicapped. besides any men
I might send to the minors might be
grabbed by the Federal League. Mr..
Minor and myself are unaltcrably op-
posed to such retrenchment
measure. We believe that a clud should
be allowed to carry as many men dur
ing a season as it can afford, and I
feel confident that the American
League will not retrench along these
lines.
