A BIG TIME FOR ALL

The advance billing brigade Of
Parks & Banks railroad show, stopped
off here long enough to blazon the
barns and other buildings in and
around Rathdrum, notifying the
populace of the coming of that great
amusement enterprise.
The coming of these mammoth
tented cities have caused the people
to look forward to their first appear
ance yearly, and the opportunity to
witness this big show In its entirety,
bigger and better than ever. All
kinds of wild and domestic animal
acts, combined with the highest class
aerial, gymnastic, acrobatic and
arenic feats, make it truly holiday
for all, a children's FARMLAND that
they will talk of long after it is gone.
Come early and bring all the children
and see it all. Big free outside exhi-
bition on show grounds at 2 p. m

THE REAL "GooD FELLOW

The real "good fellow" Is the fellow
who knows something good about
everybody and tells 1t. He never
knocks on his nelghbor or digs up the
past. He always lends a helping
hand to the fellow who is up against
1t and gives him a chance to make
good. He never forgets to do and
say the little things that make his
wife happy. His children f1nd him a
jolly chum and an ever-ready play
mate. His home is haven Of love,
happiness and contentment. The
real "good fellow" is the worlds
greatest asset.-Bert Morehouse in

Insane Woman Taken to Salem.

Mrs. Hattie Holland, laboring under
many delusions, was brought to Dal-
las yesterday from Spring Valley by
members of her family. Sheriff Orr
took charge of the woman and notified
the authorities at Salem to send at
tendants for her. In the meantime
the sheriff and others stood close
guard over the patient, since the coun-
ty has no woman's ward or padded
cell in its Jail. AT the appointed
time the attendant hadn't appeared,
and the guards continued to wait.
The last train of the evening brought
no one to accompany the woman,
Sheriff Orr bundled her into his ma
chine and took her to Salem himself.
Mrs. Holland is not violent, but just
mildly deluded on number Of things.
She leaves husband at Spring Val
ley and is the mother of two children.

ARMED MOBS TERRoRIzE.
Texas Fears Wholesale Slaughter by
Army" of Liberation.

Dispatches from the Mexican bor-
der tell of a running fight between
Mexican bandits and group of sold
iers and Texas citizens, near Browns
vile yesterday. Three bandits from
band of 35 were killed and the band
retreated across the river where at
least 100 were added to their strength,
which has put American forces on
their guard to anticipate further trou-
BILE.
A reign Of terror prevails along the
border and practically every able bod
led man in three counties is armed,
and fearful of a wholesale massacre
by the Mexicans should the United
States attempt to intervene in the
southern country. The Mexicans will
at least try to seize part of the
state of Texas, is the opinion Of many
along the border. The Mexicans call
ing themselves the "army of liberia
ton for Mexico" are rapidly gaining
reenforcements, and are pledged to
kill every American of 16 years of
age, according to reports that have
reached Brownsville. Governor Fer
guson, giving ear to these statements,
has asked the United States to rush
additional troops to the border and is
encouraging the formation of armed
bands for the protection of homes and
families in case of attack.

MOTOR CARS CHANGED
A. s. GREEN COMES FROM PORT
LAND TO DIRECT WORK.
Southern Pacific Company Orders Use
of Distillate in Dallas-Salem
Motor Cars,

Extensive changes are being made
in the mechanism of the McKeen mo-
tor cars, in use on the Southern Pa
cifc branch line between Dallas and
Salem, to equip them for the use of
distillate in place of gasoline. As a
result of tests made by the company
it has been found that distillate is
very economical as a fuel, and just as
satisfactory as gasoline, and this
change has been ordered on all cars
of the type in use here. The expense
is great, but the advantage gained and
the economy effected by the rebuilding
more than offsets this feature.
The change means the replacing OF
the carburetors in use on the cars with
one of different design, one which will
feed the distillate into the engine. A
different throttle must be used,
in fact the entire mechanical arrange
ment will be changed. In addition to
the changes made a number of safe
ty appliances will be added to the
equipment of the cars and will include
hand-operated brake in the rear Of
the passenger compartment. A. 5.
Green, an expert at such work as is
being done here, came to Dallas from
the Brooklyn shops in Portland to di-
rect the work of alteration and, with
capable force of assistants, com
pleted the first car yesterday. The
motor car equipment in use on the
line between Dallas and Salem in
cludes three 70-foot cars of modern
type, and the rebuilding of their en-
gines will cost the Southern Pacific
company several thousand dollars be-
fore the work is completed. One car
at time is rebuilt so that there will
be no interruption to the service.

STORING AWAY WHEAT
DALLAS FIGURING MILLS BUSY
THESE HARVEST DAYS.
Seven Thousand Bushels Received and
More Is Coming From Coun-
try Daily.

To get an idea of crop conditions in
Polk county and to compare the wheat
growers income this year with that
of last year, visit at the Sweeney
brothers -four mill is valuable. Ac-
cording to the millers they have re-
ceived at least four times as much
grain this season as they had at a
corresponding date last year, although
practically the entire crop OF this dis
trict was handled through the local
mill last season. To date, the man.
ayers estimate, they have taken In
1000 bushels of wheat and have been
so rushed in handling it that they have
had no time even to think of oats, OF
which there is an unusually large
crop. Wagons are discharging their
loads of wheat in rapid succession
throughout the day, while all hands
at the mill are busy storing it away
until winter, when the machines will
have a seasons work, running at full
capacity, to grind the grain into flour
In September last year the price of
wheat had reached about its limit in
rs cents at the MILL In contrast, the
price this week is close to 90 cents,
and, if predictions hold good, will ad-
vance to 81 before long. Flour, the
final product, has also brought joy to
the millers. A year ago at this time
-four was selling for about $4, while
this year, with a brisk demand to
keep it moving, the price ranges
round 1925. Sweeney brothers have
lust cause for rejoicing.

Meteoric Showers Predicted By Bren-
nan Seen Wednesday Night.

The showers of meteors predicted
for Monday night failed to material
ize, but Father Martin S. Brennan,
professor of astronomy at Kenrick
university, Missouri, did not miss his
date only two days, for on Wednesday
night there was quite a display Wis
ible in this section. The display is
known as the Perseids and will last
throughout the nights in the vicinity
of Polar star. The meteors are the
remnants of a comet known as Cymet
3, 1862. which is thought by scientists
to be the oldest comet in the solar
system. This comet "died of old
age" according to astronomers and
lost its compact neuclus, and finally
became attenuated through the length
of its orbit. Each year this planet
passes through its orbit.

Col. Jackson Is Injured.

Colonel James Jackson, United
States army, retired, and inspector
general of the Oregon National Guard,
and who is well known to many in
Dallas, refused to prosecute Harry
Hanson. driver of the automobile that
ran into and injured him at Portland
Tuesday afternoon. Colonel Jackson
is thought to be out of danger of ser
ious hurts from the accident. "He
was driving carefully, but lost his
head a little when l grasped the fen
der, and did not put on the brakes in
time." said Colonel Jackson.

No Loss of Timber This Year.

Favorable weather conditions and
careful preparations for the season
are the chief factors which have so
far made for a clean record on the
part of patrol organizations in the
forests of this state during the pres
ent season. Reports recently received
by the Western Forestry and Conser-
vation association, from all protee-
tive agencies in the state, show prac-
tically no loss of timber through fires
up to the present time. In spite of
the prevailing favorable conditions
the utmost care is exercised and urged
by all agencies to prevent damage
during the next month.

15, according to an agreement among
