Casey, of this oity being one of the number. Mrs. Parrott died about two years ago. WRECK ON WEST SIDE Entire Train Leaves Track and Rolls Over On Side, near McCoy Friday. One of the worst wrecks that has ever occurred on the Portland-Corval-lis division of the West Side system of the S. P., took place last Friday at 11 a. m., between Amity and McCoy on Theodore Jeffries' farm. The track wss is poo? condition, the road-bed soft and ties rotten, allowing the rails to spread, dumping three coaches with their passengers down an em bankment of four feet into the mud and water. The mail and baggage car also went into the ditch, and the mall was badly damaged, being water-soaked. The mail clerk D. M. Burrell, had his thumb cut and knocked out of place; also one of his legs Injured. W. L. Gardner who arrived on the scene shortly after it happened, brought Mr. Burrell to Amity where Dr. Matthis dressed his wounds. No one was killed but sev eral persons were badly hurt. Albert Baxter, wife and wife's mother, who live this side of Dallas on Halt Creek, were on the train and both the women were injured, but how badly we did not learn. Dr. Matthis was called to attend them. How the passengers es caped death is a miracle for every car went over and more than a nunarea feet of track was torn up. Amity En terprise. Oats tor Sale.

WILL PLAY NfiWBERG Dallas Basketball Team and Pacific College to Meet on Home Floor Tonight. WON LOST FSB CKNTAOK Dlla College 5 1 833 Multnomah 6 1 833 Portland Y.M. C.

N. 8 0 7 000 It is now believed by those who have made a study of the basketball situation that the race for the league championship will lie between Dallas College and the Multnomah club team. The defeat of the sturdy Wil lamette aggregation by the All-Stars in Portland last Friday evening put an entirely different phase on the situation, and while it is still possible for Willamette to win out, it is not thought by the knowing ones that she will be able to do so. All Interest is now centered in the game .to be played by Dallas and Multnomah on the Dallas floor in the near future, as it is believed that the outcome of this game will settle the 1907 champion ship. The Dallas team will play their seventh game of the league series In the gymnasium tonight, when they will meet the Pacific College team from Newberg. The Quaker lads have been defeated several times this year, but It cannot be said that they have a weak team. Their defeats seem to have been more due to a run of hard luck than to their poor playing. Newberg's guards and center are counted among the strongest in the state, and the team plays about the same style of ball that is put up by the Dallas boys. This will make to night's game doubly interesting from a spectator's viewpoint, and a large attendance is assured. While the home team is confident of wlnnibg, they will have to play ball to defeat the visitors. The game will be called promptly at 8 :3o. Admission, 25 cents ; reserved seats, 35 cents. Beats on sale at Belt & Cherrlngton's drug store. A Rare Treat. Those who were fortunate enough to hear Dr. John Merltte Driver, of Chicago, in his lecture on "America Facing the Far East" Tuesday eve ning, are unanimous in pronouncing him a giant in thought, with most extraordinary powers of expression. A ripe scholar, a man of extended travel and experience, Dr. Driver knows whereof he speaks. This fact gave his address a force that many another lacks. It is certainly a privilege to hear such a lecture. It must enrich, ennoble, and broaden the life of every auditor. Dallas should make an effort to secure more such public speakers as Dr. Driver. School Fair. The school children will have a fair again next fall, and now is the time to begin our preparations. We have made arrangements with the Portland Seed company by which they will fur nish the children of the Dallas school seeds at half price. We shall call upon our friends in the near future to aid the good cause again by offering premiums as they did last year, as we do not wish to fall below last year's mark. We would like to have a better list this year. Yours Truly, . W. I. Reynolds. We, the undersigned grocers of the city of Dallas, Oregon, agree that on and after February, 1907, we will close our stores at 6 o'clock p. m. each eve ning, except Saturday. Signed C. L. Cbider, W.
