CONTEST ON MONDAY
PLAY PIANO AMONG GIFTS OF
FERED BY THE OBSERVER.
Every Candidate to Receive a Prize,
Hence There Will Be No
Disappointments.

The Observers subscription con-
test, in which every contestant will be
a prize winner, and which opens on
Monday next, is already creating con-
siderable interest among the ladies of
Polk county, a large number of in
quiries concerning it and the modus
operandi having been received since
the announcement was made on Tues
day. Several Dallas young ladies have
signified their intention of entering
the contest, but thus far only four
have filed nomination blanks with the
contest manager, leaving abundant
opportunity for many others to com
pete for the valuable prizes offered.
We predict that there will be dozens
of ladies, both in Dallas and in the
county, who will want the handsome
$500 bungalow player piano, which is
offered as the capital prize, and who
will enter the contest with the hope
of securing it. There will, however,
be no disappointed candidates, for
should there be failure to land this
prize there are others, including a
free trip to the Panama-Pacifc expo
sition in each of the two districts,
several diamond rings, scholarships,
etc., any of which are really worth
the effort No one will have to work
without remuneration. These prizes
will be on exhibition in Dallas within
a few days, announcement of the
place being made through these col
umns. The player piano is from the
Eiler music house in Portland, and is
a guaranteed instrument of the best
known make, and retails anywhere
at the price named in the contest ad-
vertisement printed in this issue.
As has been heretofore stated, the
territory has been divided into two
districts, Dallas and its rural routes
comprising one and the remainder OF
the county the other. Aside from the
grand prize, the gifts will be dupli-
Gated in these districts. One free trip
TO the Panama exposition, with all
necessary expenses paid, will go to
each district to the contestant having
the highest number of votes next to
the winner of the player piano. The
thirteen other prizes will be distrib-
uted in the same manner. The play

DALLASITESI IN REUNION
PLEASANT GATHERING is HELD
IN STATES METROPOLIS.
Big Basket Dinner Served at Home of

Mrs. Frank Hobson last Thursday.
The ladies spent the afternoon To-
gether, the men coming at six o'clock,
when a delicious basket dinner was
enjoyed. The remaining part of the
evening was spent in various ways.
Mrs. Strayer entertained with two
charming piano solos and Mrs. HUI
bert Goode and Mrs. C. L. Starr sang

SHORT LINE SUGGESTED
RICKREALL REACHES DALLAS
IN ROUND ABOUT WAY.
Commercial Club, at Regular Month
ly Session, Discusses Matters
of Public Interest.

The monthly meeting of the Com
mercial club Wednesday evening was
well attended, and more than ordin'
ary interest was manifested in the
business coming before the body
Many matters Of local import were
discussed, among others being next
summers chautauqua, which is fos-
tered by this organization; civic bet
terments and better rural mail and
telephone conveniences. Under pres
ent conditions residents of the Rick
reall neighborhood are obliged to use
the Monmouth and Independence line,
whereas direct line to Dallas might
be had by using "dead line" owned
by the Bell people. 1t had been sug-
gested that the farmers of that sec
ton buy the wire from the Bell peo-
pie at actual cost, pay ten cents per
year rental for each pole employed
to carry the line, the Bell company
maintaining the poles and the farmers
the line, and this plan appeared to be
feasible to the club. The matter will be
considered in the not very distant fu-
ture by those who are inconvenienced
by this round about way of reaching
the county seat, and it may be that a
company will be organized among the
farmers to take over the line as sug-
gested.
The committee on city and county
affairs was instructed to give the Wo-
man. S club any assistance possible in
its effort to cleanup and beautify the
city. This work will be prosecuted
by the civic department of the Wo-
mans club, and an effort will soon
be made to induce a general cleaning
up of all streets, alleys and vacant
lots, after which the planting of rose
bushes and other shrubbery will be in
vited and urged. In this effort the
ladies' will have the support of the
mems organization.

TO IMPOUND CANNES
MARSHAL CHASE GIVEN AU.
THORITY TO KILL DOGS.
Ordinance Given First Reading Be.
fore Council Monday. Supplants
Are Adopted in 1875.

The city council Monday night
heard the reading of an ordinance
providing for the impounding of dogs
within the corporation limits, and the
measure will doubtless be adopted
when it comes up for final passage.
The ordinance provides that a public
pound be established, and that the
marshal capture and confine therein
all CANNES found running at large.
If the owner of dog so impounded
be known it becomes the duty of the
officer to notify such owner, and if
the animal is not redeemed within
ten days it shall be advertised. If
the marshal cannot otherwise dispose
of the dog he is authorized to kill it,
or offer it for sale to the highest and
best bidder for cash in hand. The
owner, by the provisions of the or
dinance, is obliged to pay 81 to gain
the custody of an impounded dog,
and twenty-five cents charges for
each day the marshal has had the
animal in the lookup. In case of a
sale, if more than the costs are de-
rived therefrom the money shall go
to the owner of the dog, and if not
known to the auditor. who is to hold
it for six months before finally turn
ing it into the general fund.
At the present time the city has
an ordinance prohibiting dogs from
running at large, but there is no pro-
visions for impounding them, hence
the marshal has been up against a
difficult proposition.

GETS HIS INSTRUCTIONS
POLK TREASURER HEARS FROM
STATE TAX COMMISSION.
Those Lnquidating Charges Before

and the last half before October l.,
1914, nor on any tax for the year
1914 in case the first half of such tax
shall have been paid before April l,
1915, and the last half before Octo-
ber l. 1915; nor in such case shall
any such penalty or interest be made
the basis for any delinquent certifi-
cate or tax sale or constitute lien
on any property.
4" Section 2. All penalties and in
terest in the cases set out in Section
l of this act which may be construed
to have been incurred or to be incur

1914 shall have been paid before the
first day of April, 1915, the second
half of such taxes may be paid at any
time before the first day of October,
1915, without any penalty or interest
of any kind or amount.
"This act has been signed by the
governor and will become a law on
May %, 1915. In substance it amends
Section 36S2 Of Lords Oregon Laws
(amended by section 20 of chapter
1s4, laws of 1879 so that all penal
ties or interest on the second half Of

INSURANCE COMPANY FAILS.
Horticultural Fire Relief Petitions
for a Receiver.

With apparent assets totalling $of,-
1870 and liabilities totaling $l23,-
91460, the Horticultural Fire Relief
of Oregon, through its president, B.
J. Miles, has filed a petition in the
state circuit court asking that In
.surance Commissioner Wells be ap-
pointed receiver for the company. Al
though the petition does not ask for
the appointment of commissioner as
receiver of the Pacific Home Mutual
Fire Insurance company and the Ore
gon Merchants Mutual Fire Assur-
ance company, Mr.. Miles authorized
the state that the issuance would also
handle their affairs. The Horticul-
tural Fire Relief of Oregon had rein
sured these two companies.
The proceedings were taken at the
suggestion of Commissioner Wells af-
ter the books of the company had
been examined by an expert account
ant.
