LOST PER CKNTAOE 1 888 3 m 3 cue s m Hi 9 182 K 111 In a whirlwind the skill ana endurance of Oregon's two strong basketball teams was brought Into play, the Willamette University five went down to defeat on their own court before the lightning work of tho Dallas College team last Friday evening, and, in losiDg the game, also lost their only hope of win ning the state championship for the year. It was Willamette's first defeat on the home floor at the hands of an Oregon team, and the hardest-fought game that has been played in the state league this year. The final score was 22 to 15. The game was necessarily rough, as the Willamette players were much larger than their opponents, and the court was so small that the center circle and the foul-line circles over lapped. Dallas threw the first basket and never lost her lead at any time. The decisions of Referee Thorp, of Monmouth, were very unsatisfactory to the Dallas boys, who claim that his work favored Willamette throughout the game and deprived them of four points to which they were Justly entitled. The game was witnessed by a large crowd, fully one-half of which was made up of enthusiastic rooters from Dallas. Nearly one hundred people accompanied the home team to Salem, and every available convey ance in Dallas, Independence and Monmouth was hired for theoccasion. The result of this game practically settles the state league championship for 190G-7 in favor of Dallas. The home team has only three more games to Dlav. and there is no likelihood of a defeat at the hands of either Mult nomah, Newberg, or the Salem Y. M. C. A. In fact, it is rumored that the last-named team will forfeit its game to save expense and a sure defeat. The next contest will be with Mult nomah on the Dallas floor, Saturday evening, March 16. The line-upof the Dallas-Willamette same was as follows : D . ...

The indifference shown by most hop growers to the present market makes buying more difficult. A number of orders are on hand, but dealers find it requires a good deal of arguing to effeet a purchase. The impression has got abroad among the holders that considerable deliveries have to be made In March and April for which the dealers have as yet made no pro vision, hoping to secure better terms later. This has caused many of the holders of better grades to decline the nffors made them at this time. There are a few others, however, who have become discouraged or are pressed for funds, and these growers are com pelled to accept low prices if they sell. Several deals under 10c have been closed in the last few days. One lot of 200 bales was reported to havo been sold Friday at 8c Oregonian. Describing a recent visit to Polk county, M. S. Shroek, field editor of the Pacific Homestead, writes as fol lows: "I spent a few moments with C. L. Hawley, one mile from McCoy. He has some excellent draft horses and is wise enough not to put a price on his best mares. He has plenty of i'oom, feed, time, and the ambition to raise good draft colts and he will be well re paid for it He has seventy-five regis tered Lincoln ewes and reports them aa doing well. Fifteen of them had lambed at present writing and the re sult is twenty-five nice little playful lambs. This is very encouraging. "I visited D. L. Keyt's hog ranch west of McCoy where his noted Berk shires are kept. Mr. Burkholder, the man In charge, was not at home, but his wife a.ud son were kind enough to show me the stock, some fifty hogs and about thirty dairy cows. Mr. Kevt's place is well adapted to stock raising. The splendid oak grove near the buildings makes an ideal place for stock to run In winter as well as summer. ' "What I would call a model farm home is that of F. A. Koser, another Berkshire breeder, near Rickreall. Mr. Koser Is one of tho few west ern farmers who live up to ine principle of "a place for everything and everything in its place." His farm home Is neat and attractive as well as eood and comfortable. When Mr. Koser took charge of the place it was like too many oi our western farms are. a "place to stay" instead of a home. Many improvements have been made since and the farm was made to pay for it all. Mr. Koser has some excellent draft horses, a nice flock of Cotswold sheep and some of the best Berkshire hogs in the United States. He is not the kind of a man that does things by halves and when he decided to make Bershires his long suit he searched the United States over for the best there was to be had. With the best to be had to start with, and by oroner selection of breeding stock since, he has bred up a herd that is unexcelled anywhere. His hoga are strong backed, heavy boned, and the most uniform of any herd I have ever seen. Mr. Koser's farm is 320 acres in. extent and every part of it shows good care and prop3r management His home abounds in sociability, comfort, and good things to'eat." When vou want printing that is right, come to the Observer office, in A dispatch from Indianapolis Saturday's Oregonian says : "Those Indiana cities which were In a frenzy to try municipal ownership are now pleading with tho Legislature to relieve them from the Iniquitous burden of heavy taxation, rotten service and insolence on the part of officials who are responsible to no one but themselves. So far as the ex perience of this state goes, and it has been fairly wide and representative, municipal ownership of anything is a grand failure. "The announced purpose of certain members of the Indiana General Assembly to attempt the correction of evils incident to the operation of municipal plants and protect them aa far as possible from alleged cutthroat competition, has found expression In the Legislature for the appointment of a public utility commission. "It is understood that parties favor ing the legislation havo colleoted statistics of municipal plans, showing they are not giving satisfactory service or are charging unreasonable rates in order to make up for the loss from utility management, or are showing favoritism at the expense of tho municipalities, whose best Interests they are supposed to serve. Through these inquiries some new facts have just come to light, and conditiona that sucgest some things closely akia to graft are said to have been discovered. The real aim of the legislation Is to prevent Investment In municipal plants where financial difficulties are in tho way or where the schome for anv reason would appear perilous to the municipality. Munoie and Hartford City have surrendered their municipal plants after a varied and costly experience. Each year addod to the indebtedness without giving an adequate return to the people. It is argued that If such enterprises were contemplated and a state commission should look the nelti over and advise against it, such advice would go far towards restraining municipalities in voting burdens up- on themselves ana wouiu svu uu onlv the credit of such cities, but ex empt them from worry and contention that have marked many embarkations In municipal ownership."
