Dallas, Nov. "A movement is on
foot by the Dallas Commercial club to
endeavor to get the Southern Pacific
railway company to electrify the four
miles of road between Gerlinger and
this city. The work of stringing the
wires on the west side line from Whit
son to Corvallis is progressing rapidly
and the construction gang have their
headquarters at Gerlinger. A prominent
railway official let out the information
n short time ago that he believed that
the company, with little pursuasion,
could be induced to run the line on in
to Dallas. If the Commercial club can
succeed in getting this piece of road
electrified it will mean an electric
train will lay over at noon in this city,
and that person can leave here at
about 1890 and reach Portland about
three O'Clock. The matter has been
placed in the hands of the railroad com
mittee of the club who are doing their
utmost to have the line put through
to this city.

City Beautiful

Our city is certainly beautiful,
and to keep up with it the store
keepers decorated their store win
dows with merchandise to attract
the trade for our first annual
DRESS-UP WEEK.
Many of the stores are decorat-
ed with foliage, and others even
went to the limit of showing our
agricultural products, to keep
abreast of the times and spirit of the
day.
We decorated, or rather dressed,
our windows, not with foliage and
agricultural products, but with the
genuine clothing which we have on
sale and which is attractively dis
played so that the person desiring to
purchase articles of apparel can get
an idea of the styles and quality of
merchandise we carry inside our
store. We believe this the better way
of demonstrating our merchandise
and at the same time typify the
Getty BEAUTIFUL" idea.

BOYS TURN IN FIRE ALARM.
Youngsters Put Thrill into Life Of the
Business Section Early Monday
Night and Get Away.

Two boys who wanted to see the fire
engines run, put a little thrill into life
of Main street and the down town dis
trict on Monday night just before
eight O'Clock when they shinnied up
the pole holding the fire alarm box and
hung their weight on the hook. They
shinnied down just as fast and ske-
dadled. In two minutes all the fire
apparatus in the city was being held
at the corner while the chief and his
men were looking for the fire. In the
meantime man in an automobile chas-
ed the two youngsters but their knowl-
edge of the short cuts through the
vacant lots down by the lake made it
possible for them to get away. They
were successful in drawing a real
crowd to the busy Main street corner.
Just let me get them'' was the only
comment of Chief Isermann this morn
ing. The fire boys had the same SEN
timent to offer.

Kenosha county will be entitled to
send six delegates to the Progressive
Republican convention which is to be

formal call for the convention was
sent out on Saturday afternoon by w.
s. Goodland of Racine and in connec
ton with it, announcement is made that
it is the plan of the convention to name
candidates for every state office from
governor down. Some protest has been
made that the plan is a slap at the pri-
mary election law, but the fact that
the call is signed by some five hundred
people seems to indicate that the lead
ers of the Progressives are not anxious
to maintain the dignity of the primary
No Kenosha names are given out in
connection with the call.

FISHED WITHTO0 MANY HOOKS
Warden Gets Men Fishing Off LarO
rabee's Bridge Go to Jail Rather
Than Pay Fines Part of Which
Goes to the Warden

There are more ways of choking dog
than feeding it on butter and there are
more ways of getting out of paying
fines than by pleading oSnot guilty. +"
Deputy game warden--pardon ~
conservation commissioner agent,
Emil Fox, found this out in the NUM-
cipal court this morning when bunch
of seven men who had been arrested
on what lot of people term foo"
violations of the game laws, took Jail
sentences rather than contribute any
thing to the Golfers of the conservation
commissions agent. The men are not
confined in the cell rooms of the Jail,
for after they had their day in court
they were promptly granted the jail
limits and they went back to their
work and they will not be molested
by the officers.
The deputy conservation commits
sion's agent drew no pay. for his pains
in arresting the men, regardless of the
fact that he spent considerable time
tramping along the shores of Pad
docks Lake and Silver Lake and
Desplaines river
John Schrzyzak, Felix Rails, John
Jocobseek, Archie Pembleton, Frank
McNiel, William Way and Arthur
Layton were all brought in by Fox
charged with fishing with line 10
which moro than one hook had been
attached. They admitted the soft I'M
peachments, but they asserted that
they had always been of the opinion
that when people angled for suckers
at Larrabee s Bridge or at any other
place in the county, that they were en-
titled to use as many hooks as were
necessary to catch the suckers. Will
liam Haase and Ferdinand Muhlenbeck
Were brought in charged with catch
ing a "crappie" under seven inches
in length.
When the men appeared before
Judge Randall they all entered pleas
Of guilty. They explained the
conditions to the court and insisted
that not one of them had any idea of
violating the law They insisted
farther that they had understood that
from the earliest generations men had
fished with more than one hook off
Larrabee's Bridge. Judge Randall de-
clared that he had some appreciation
of their feeling in the matter, but he
held that the law was clear and made
the fine in each case twenty-five dollars
and the costs with an alternative of
thirty Gays in Jail. Then the men,
themselves held conference. They
decided that before they would con-
tribute to the funds of the game war
den, under the circumstances, they
would take the alternative.
Later on they were granted "iail
limits" which gives them liberty to
go anywhere they will in the county
during the pendency of the sentence.
Kenosha county seems to lie the
only county in the state where this
particular provision of the law is be-
ing enforced.
