Several Generous Contributions Re-
ceived'- TO Give Benefit Lecture

. A library book fund, through which
any generous minded people may have
the opportunity Of donating to the IL

Der of generous donations Of money
have been received from local citi-
zens. Many books have also been do
mated by citizens and it is hoped by
the board that people who have books
which are not in use in their homes
and which could be used at the IL
brary, will donate them to this insti.
tuition. Magazines of value will also
be gladly received at the library for
the files, for use by the students Of

and takes in the San Diego exposi.
tion, "The Kings Highway,'' along
which are located the FL Franciscan
missions, the Panama-Pacifc exposi
ton, Glacier National park and the
Yellowstone National park. The slides
are the property Of Mr.. and Mrs

BREEDERS WILL SHOW
JERSEY ASSOCIATION TO COOP
ERATE WITH FAIR BOARD.
Date for Annual Sale of Purebreds
Has Been Changed From
Spring to Fall.

One hundred of the finest Jersey
cattle will be exhibited at the Polk
county fair this fall, and special hous-
ing accommodations will be prepared
as a result of action taken at the
meeting of the Polk County American
Jersey Cattle club at Independence on
Tuesday afternoon. About thirty-fve
members of the organization attended
the meeting, at which a committee
from the County Fair association was
present to discuss the participation of
Jersey breeders in the fair this fall.
The committee, consisting of Presi-
dent |. l.. Patterson, A. L. Martin and
W. V. Fuller, promised the breeders
hearty cooperation from the fair
management and agreed to see that
housing accommodation would be pro-
vided for at least 100 head of cat
tie. The committee will probably
rent large tent to provide stalls for
the animals that the club members
will bring to Dallas. The Jersey
breeders club appointed a committee,
comprising F. ]. Lynn, W. o. Nor
row and C. p. Hembree, to meet with
the executive committee of the fair
association in Dallas next Monday.
At this time premiums for the Jersey
exhibits will be discussed and adopted,
and the class of stock to be shown
will be determined. If the fair board
lives up to its part of the agreement
the Jersey breeders have said they
would confne their competition to rib
bon premiums and that no cash out
lay for prizes would be necessary.
At the meeting on Tuesday the club
also decided to change the date of
its ANIMAL Jersey cattle sale from the
spring until the fall, and the date
was set for October 10. 1t is believ-
ed that the change will mean greatly
business at the sales, as the
fall is a better time to buy. Buyers
will have more ready money and
therefore more buyers would attend
The sale. The last event of this kind
held at Independence was very sue
sessful, notwithstanding the fact that
i was held in the spring of the year.
)ne hundred head Of register Of merit
Jerseys have already been entered for
he sale this fall by some of the most
loted Oregon breeders Of Jersey cat
lie.
The club is entering upon what
ooks to be its most prosperous year
md with every member interested and
aking part in the work of the club
much good is expected to result from
he cooperative organization. Frank
1oughary of Monmouth is president
# the club and Ross Nelson Of Inde-
'endence is secretary.

Many Game Birds Are Dying.

Ross Nelson, who has large farm
near Independence, is authority fol
the statement that the sportsmen anG
farmers of that section of Polk coun,
ty have scattered to the birds fully
800 bushels of wheat since the cold
snap commenced the first of January
Yet Notwithstanding their efforts to
protect the pheasants and other birds
hundreds have perished. The pleas
ants cling close to the ground, and
ice forms upon their tails. Burdened
by the weight these handsome game
birds are said to soon die. Sports
men throughout the valley have had
the cooperation of farmers and 9TH
ers in preserving the game birds,
thousands of bushels of grain having
been scattered during the cold spell.

ICE DELAYS LOCAL TRAINS.
Pantograph Acts Mean and Local
People Fail to Receive Mail.

The juice wouldn't come down the
pantograph. And because Of the re-
fractory actions of the "juice" Tues
day evenings mail did not arrive in
Dallas until one O'Clock Wednesday
morning, more than five and, one-half
hours late. The heavy crust of ice
on the trolly wire Of the electric line
between Portland and Whiteson made
an electrical connection impossible
and at Oswego, near Portland, the
train stopped. After several hours
the crust of ice had sufficiently dis
appeared to allow the pantograph, a
modern name for the modern trolley,
to serve its purpose and the train pro-
ceeded on to Whiteson. Special trains
we're operated from Salem and Dallas
to connect with the northbound train
from Corvallis and take passengers
for Salem and Dallas to their destina-
tions. Similar trouble made the
Wednesday morning train forty-fve
late.

FUNDS GETTING SHORT
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF CITY
BECOMES QUITE SERIOUS.
Five Thousand Dollar Indebtedness
Limitation Permitted By Char
ter Stares Council in Face.

When additional warrants aggre
eating 5000 have been issued, the cit.
of Dallas will have reached the char
ter limitation of its warrant indebt
edness, which cannot lawfully exceed
$4,000, and -there is something of ;
quandry as to what the municipality
will do until next May, when addi
tional funds will be Forthcoming. The
5000 now on hand in the way of law.
full credit must necessarily soon be
exhausted, yet the city will continue
to have legitimate obligations to dis
charge, and the manner in which this
may be done is causing some study
among the members of the aldermanic
body and the mayor,
Once heretofore this provision Of
the charter has been exceeded, and
warrants issued to defray necessary
obligations, but the mayor is opposed
to that method of procedure and may
exert his influence with the council
to stick closely to the law governing
the matter of expenditures. He holds
that the councilmen become person
ally responsible for warrants issued
in excess of the $4,000 limit, but were
the need urgent, as it evidently will
be during the ensuing three months,
it is not probable that any citizen
would object to the council using its
best judgment in the matter and if
necessary further pledge the munich
pality's credit. There is bare pos
sibility that to exceed its charter lin
Itation as regards the issuing of war
rants might have some effect upon its
outstanding bonded indebtedness, but
the amount necessary to tide the city
over would be comparatively small at
best, and no fear of complaint from
this quarter is anticipated.
1t may be said in this connection
that under the present administration
there has been curtailment of expen-
ditures wherever possible, the coun-
Gil approaching the fact from the
outset that the garment must be cut
according to the cloth available. May
or kirkpatrick in his inaugural mes
sage to the council made special men
tion of the financial condition which
was certain to obtain before tax mon
ey for another year would be forth
coming, and every effort was made
toward economy, but nevertheless the
fund is practically exhausted and the
must wriggle through
as best it can until such time as
is obtainable.
