This show will take the form of Opening Week, which is a new and novel departure from previous exhibitions on the Pacific Coast, but has proved very popular and successful in Eastern cities. The distinct advantage of each dealer having ample space to properly dis play his entire line is a very important one, both to the dealer and visitor who will thus have the opportunity of closest possi ble inspection, while the impression gained by a visitor in a call at a dealer's establish ment is more lasting than a visit to an exhibition space ' which can of necessity have little or no individuality. v.- Call on your local dealer for further information.

TAKE GAME HAKPILI FROM SUM MERYILLE CLUB TEAM. Score, of Forty-Six to Sixteen Tells Story of Comparison. With more show of real basketball skill than the team has yet displayed this year, the local high school Tflve last evening administered a decisive drubbing to the Summerville club team, winning by the score of 46 to 16. With excellent team work that could be bettered only at times, and speed that surprised even the home guard, the youngBters from on the hill easily ran away from -the visitors and long before the game was over had a lead that spelled Victory; - Summerville fought gamely to the finish but ft was only at rare intervals that they could aue to the close guarding of the La Grande guards. w th tiia Aataat ? no-,, i. th mm finished the game, disarranging the team work considerably, the score would hae been vn more dcisiv' than It was. The contest was one of those affairs where there is something stirring continually, with good passes, fast dribbling and long throws the batks kept the ball close to Bolton and Eiynolda much of the time, and though all the heme players need per fection of their eyes, they got. enough to give them a good lead. Bolton's work at the register. La Grande's goal,' and Reynold's floor work ' were per haps the stellar attractions of the game, and of course the element that kept La Grande's score going ' up while Ralston, and Lottes kept the oth er score down at the other end of the field. Captain Bohnenkamp fitted In both ends of the game nicely,, though he "was sick most of the time. Keller, Crawley and Watson were on the floor at short intervals and branded them selves as comers at every turn. The guarding of the two McKenzle toys and Hamilton's floor, work, were easily the most Important features ot the visitor's game but their forwards seldom had their combinations work ing long enough to negotiate a goal. Frank Earls refereed the contest, and Hollister was umpfre.' Both filled the bill well. ' ; ; j ; ' The lineup: Si v.
