WoMAN'S CLUB AND THE PARK.
Ladies Hold Silver Tea, and Plan to
Enlist Masculine Aid.

The Silver tea, held az the library
on Tuesday afternoon by the ladies
of the civic section of the Woman s
club was a social success and much
work was accomplished. The Silver tea
was served in the library hall to a large
number of ladies of the club and their
friends. The luncheon was not elab-
crate, but was dainty and well served.
The city park and its Improvement
was the chief subject of discussion at
the business meeting and over the tea
cups. A committee of five ladies, in
cluding Mrs. Ella J. Metzger, presi-
dent of the club, Mrs. E. Hayter,
Mrs. |. L. Smith, Mrs. Asa Robinson
and Mrs. John Sweeney, was appoint
ed to develop the cooperation of the
men-folks in the plans of the club.
A day may be set aside when the
gentlemen will have a chance to lend
their muscular efforts to the develop
ment of the park. The ladies may
make the task less wearisome by pre-
pairing a luncheon for the workers on
the "labor day."

CORVALLIS GRANTS FRANCHISE
Southern Pacific Electrifcation Will
Probably Start in Spring.

After much delay and debate the
Corvallis City council has granted a
franchise to the Southern Pacific COM
pany by which the big red electric
trains will gain admission to that
city. AT the council meeting early in
the week the franchise matter was
settled, allowing the company to en-
ter the city on Sixth street and de-
manding that a depot be built on the
same street. This means that the
present very fine station must be re-
placed. The railroad granted this
term and will build double tracks on
Sixth street. The matter is now sup
posed to be definitely settled and elec-
trifcation of the company's line from
Whiteson to Corvallis may commence
whenever the company sees fit. Work
probably will not start until spring,
but when it does the activity will
mean a great deal to Dallas and Polk
county. The main line tracks will
run through Independence and the
same branch line connections will be
maintained between Gerlinger juction
and Dallas. 1t will mean, perhaps,
several more trains daily to and from
this city and greatly improved ia
cilities. A great share of the pres
ent heavy east side travel will be
diverted to the west side line, which
because of its direct connection into
Corvallis, will make better time from
Portland.

NEW PASTOR TO SPEAK SUNDAY
Rev. Howard Mcconnell Has Charge
of Christian Church Here.

The Rev. Howard Mcconnell pas
tor of the Christian church, who has
been conducting an evangelist meet
ing in Dodge City, Kan, will arrive
in Dallas tomorrow to take up his
work with the church here and will
preach on Sunday morning. His sub
ject will be "The Laws of Christian
Growths. There will be no preach
ing service in the evening but the con-
gregation will be dismissed to partic-
ipate in the union meeting in progress
at the armory.
The work in the Dallas church has
been conducted in a very able and
efficient manner in the absence of the
pastor, by Mrs. Wheeler, who is a
very strong speaker and who has
greatly endeared herself to the peo-
pie of Dallas in the time she has
worked among them.

and dependent on the resistance OF
the supporting pier to rocking move
ment.
The examination discloses the fact
that the general design and construc-
ton features were entirely adequate
for the live load in vogue at the time
the bridge was erected. Inasmuch as
the live load now imposed is consid-
cradle in excess of that for which the
structure was originally designed both
as to intensity and character, reverse
web stresses are increased to such an
amount as to render the counter sys-
TEN inadequate and as to induce ex-
cessive stresses in other members
throughout the trusses, some of which
are strained nearly to the elastic limit
of the material.
There is also very noticeable lack
of rigidity throughout the entire
structure. This condition under the
action of present day traffic most GER
tainly causes dynamic stresses great
ly in excess Of the live load stresses
provided for. This lack of rigidity
combined with the very noticeable re-
duction in effective area of metal at
the connections further tends to weak
en- the structure. Repeated applica-
ton of excessive loads are known to
cause fatigue in crystalline material
such as steel, finally inducing cold
crystallization. That cold crystalliza-
ton exists to great degree is evi-
dent by the fact that certain lower
laterals have suddenly snapped off.
This physical indeterminate depre-
citation in the strength of the mater
ials is further intensified by the ex-
cessive vibration and extreme lack OF
rigidity as noted above.
We concur with your honorable
bodies in the fact that a physical ex-
animation was the proper manner OF
investigating the structure, for, ow-
ing to the distorted and uncertain con-
dition of the metal throughout the
structure, no reliance should be placed
in results or figures theoretically OBJ
tanned.
Conclusion-As result of the ex
animation it may be stated without
hesitation that all attempts to re-
pair or strengthen the structure in
order to meet the demands of present
day traffic conditions would prove to
be a waste of public funds, as the
bridge has clearly outlived all practi-
cal usefulness.
In our opinion we deem it impera-
tive, in the interest of public safety,
to prohibit the passage of vehicles
over the structure such as now are
making daily use of the bridge-How

KILLS TWO BEARS NEAR CITY
Sellers Bags Bruins at Rock House.
Spot Famous for Game.

Perhaps those who have had no in
terest in The Observers suggestion to
build suitable roadway to the his
toric Rock house in the hills north
of the Rickreall will be awakened and
enlivened to action by the taste of
the bear meat that Clarence Sellers
brought from that vicinity on Tues
day. The Rock house is an historic
cave in a mountainous country, which
could be made easily assessible by
means of good roadway, and place
where conditions and surroundings
are ideal for a summer outing or a
hunt. Clarence Sellers worked his
way up there early in the week, and
on Tuesday returned with two fine
bears, one a good sized bruin and the
other a cub. The spot has long been
famous as a hunting ground and at
the Rock house itself many early day
hunters gathered by the evening bon
fire TO tell of their experiences in the
days hunt. Bear is not the only ami
NAL that inhabits the region for there
are many deer, but the bear is less
common mark for the hunter.
The fine cold springs that are on all
sides of the cave and the heavy wood
ed nature of the surroundings makes
it an admirable place for game to
and the bags of many
hunters who still visit the region are
evidence of the assertion. Mr.. Sell
lers brought both animals that he kill
ed to town with him and sold a good
part of each to few people who ap-
preciate bear steaks and roasts.

TO SAVE FOREIGNERS.
Washington Makes a Neutrality Plan
for City of Mexico.

With the hope Of securing perma-
nent protection for the $4,000 for
eigners in the City Of Mexico the
United States government has pro-
posed to the Villa-Zapata forces and
to Gen. CarranZa tina, the Mexican
capital be declared neutral and out
side the field of operations hereafter
in Mexico's civil war.
The Villa-Zapata forces have
agreed to the proposal, and are will
ing to eyacuate the city as soon as a
similar agreement is obtained with
the CarranZa authorities.
On Gen. Carranza depends also
whether or not the effort Of the Unit
ed States to neutralize the railway
between the City of Mexico and Vera
Cruz shall succeed, as the Villa Zap
alta officials have agreed to this.
The plan with respect t. the City
of Mexico contemplates all arrange
ment whereby order would be main
tanned by local council Of prominent
residents. The capital would not be
subject to further attacks. nor would
there be more changes in government
until a central government had been

AMERICAN KILLED.
Washington Orders Investigation Of
Thresher's Death.

Reports that an American had per-
ished in the war zone around the
British Isles were brought officially to
the attention of the United States
government late Thursday when Am
bassador Page and Consul-Ceneral
Skinner at London cabled that Leon
c.. Thresher, an American mining
man, was supposed to have been
drowned in the destruction of the
British liner Falaba, by a German
submarine.
The reports merely transmitted un-
official statements and instructions
were sent to both officials to begin an
investigation. No action will be taken
by the government until this official
version OF Thresher's death has been
received and all facts surrounding
the destruction Of the Falaba have
been carefully considered.
A representative of the company
which had employed Thresher saw
him aboard the liner before she sail
ed. That is as far as official infcrma-
ton goes and Ambassador Page or
Mr.. Skinner will now undertake to
get statements from survivors of the
steamer who can give positive evil
dence that the American was drown
ed.
Officials had little doubt that the
case eventually would form the sub
iect of representations to Germany.
In its note after Germany'S war zone
proclamation the Washington gov
ernment notified the German foreign
office that it would feel compelled to
hold that government to "strict ac'
countability' for the loss OF Ameri-
can lives or property through the op,
erations Of submarines against Brit
ish merchant shipping.

WILL MAKE NO PEACE.
Russian and Turkish Ambassadors
Deny Latest Peace Story,

Both the Russian and Turkish am
bassadors to Italy, interviewed by the
Giornale dItalia of Rome, Italy, en-
phatically asserted that there was no
foundation for the report that Djavid
Pasha, Turkish minister Of finance,
who is now in Geneva, has been en-
trusted with the task OF negotiating
separate Russo-Turkish peace
treaty.
NJ. kroupenski, the Russian am
bassador, is quoted by the Giornale
d'Italia as declaring that Russian YER
er would conclude peace separately
from Great Britain and France, espe-
cially when she was on the eve OF
realizing the oldest Muscovite amb
ton.
Naby Bey, the Turkish ambassa-
dor, asserted that mis- country would
remain faithful to her allies and nev-
er would conclude peace separately
from them. He added that there was
no reason why Turkey should seek to
end hostilities at this time, for she
occupies an excellent position in the
Caucasus, while the Dardanelles have
proved impregnable and she is pre-
pairing surprises in Egypt.
