First Candidate Files on Monday Not Militaristic (By James Vickers) Showing plenty of fight and much smooth team work, the 19*2« crea­ tion of a basketball team rolled to victory over a stubborn Grove five, 24 to 9, last Friday night on the Forest Grove floor. The local team was all keyed up and the well-oiled combination of Emmett-Haro got together nnd play­ ed superb ball, scoring 19 |odnts of the 27.* In th«* second half lhe local team stacked down, gaining only two points, but checked their opponents and in no time were they in danger of losing their lead. The line-up—Emmott (H), f; Rae (2). f; Hare (11), c; D. Blaser (1), g; Brown, g; Reynolds, f; Smith, f; C. Blazer, c; Thu site, c. The Hilhi girls had a much easier game, scoring at will and checking their opponents to defeat them 46 to II. The blue nnd white sextette won the admiration of the specta­ tors by their good playing, offensive nnd defensive. The teamwork and the brilliant shooting of- the local team puts them on par with the last year's hoopstirs, although their right to the honor wax seriously doubted at the beginning of the season, Clara Ruff is the big star of the team, not only for wonderful playing but for getting nil the “breaks” and having the most un­ canny luck. Thus far she has scored the most points, of which 42 were mnde in the last game. Evelyn Se­ well, forward, is also a fine player, hut her tendency is to give the ball ty her partner, who loops them in on almost every attempt. Th«1 line-up—E. Sewe» (4), f; C. Ruff (42), f; E.

No. 50 Portland-Valley Circuit Ex­ tends Invitation Good Players at Hand Split Season Finds Favor; Limit on Salaries to Be Backed by Forfeit HUlxboro may have semi-profes­ sional baseball again. A number of fans and players from here were present at a baseball meeting in Portland Tuesday night on invita­ tion of those who like to get Hills­ boro, a good ball town, back on the baseball map once again. Eight Tea m« Planned The plan is to form an eight-team league, which would be called the Portland-Valley league. The league of last year will be broken up this year on account of the travel dis­ tance between Portland, Salem, Al­ bany and Eugene. The league as projected Tuesday night would in­ clude Vancouver Barracks, Mt. Scott, Montavilla, Franklin Garage and the Cloverland Creamery of Portland, Headquarters company of the Port­ land armory, St. Johns and possibly Hillsboro and McMinnville. The enthusiasts favored a split season with the two leading teams of the first half playing the two leading squads of the second half for the championship. The winners of this league would then play the winners in the upper valley league. Semi-professional baseball has been hampered of late years by the salary demands and a $15 salary limit will likely be placed on every team in the Portland-Valley league with a $50 forfeit besides the game.

Burglar Taken; Jobs Admitted Light on Nearly Every Corner Plan of Council Consider School Site Draft of Charter Amendment For Street Lighting Given Approval A plan for improved street light­ ing in the residential district at a minimum of cost was endorsed Tues­ day night by the city council. The motion asked that the power com­ pany proceed with the work imme­ diately. The plan calls for a light on practically every corner in the city limits. Draft Amendment The watchfulness of Night Officer Jim Miller of Cornelius resulted in the arrest of Frank Shattuck on a burglary charge at Cornelius Friday night. Officer Miller saw a light flash in the pool hall as he was making his rounds, and going around to the back he found a door pried open, and surprised the man at his work. Shattuck tried to make a get-away, according to the officers, by diving head first through a plate glass win­ dow at the front of the store, but shots from Miller’s gun made him change his mind. s Sheriff J. E. Reeves says the man admits the job as well as others in the county and elsewhere. , Harry Fluke was taken into cus­ tody at Sherwood Saturday night by Deputies Oscar Duley and William Hathorn. He was charged with breaking glass on a highway. Robert Schmidt was arrested early Sunday morning on liquor charges by Deputies Virgil Weckert and Fred Schendel. Harold Emrick was taken into justody Monday in connection with the attempted burglary at Cornelius. He admits complicity in this crime as well as others, according to offi­ cers. Gun Club Plans Shoot and Feed The Washington County Rod and Gun club will hold a shoot next Sunday. The program will be 75 targets at 16 yards, and a 50-target handicap. Shooters will be divided into four classes. A prize will be given to the winner of each class. Dr. Smith is presenting an unique prize to the winner of the handi­ cap event. The Oregonian is conducting the state telegraphic tournament again this year. Shall the club enter again this year? This question will be decided Sunday at the shoot. Friday evening. February 17, the club will hold the annual “get-to­ gether” meeting and banquet. There will be turkeys and geese a-plenty, and lots of other good eats. Not­ able speakers from different parts of the state will be on the program. There will also be music and other forms of entertainment. The judge of the “Kangaroo court” has been sentenced to jail for life and will not be with us this year. A draft of the street lighting im­ provement district amendment to the city charter was given approval by the council. The draft will be turned over to the directors of the chamber of commerce for the once­ over. This enabling act provides that the installation and mainten­ ance be taken care of by the district for fivie years and at the end of that time there are three options—one for the city to take it over, tho district to continue it, or the abol­ ishment of the district. This amend­ ment, which allows for the forma­ tion of a lighting district the same as street improvements, will be voted on at a special charter election. Sixty per cent of the property own­ ers under this enabling act makes it mandatory on the council to go ahead with the district. The council gave favorable con­ sideration to the idea of submitting an offer to sell the baseball park and the Tamiesie tract to the union high school board for the new school building. Ask Radio Refutation Regulation of high frequency ma­ chines to allow for better radio reception between the hours of 7 p. m. and 11 p. m. was asked of the city council. City Attorney Ben­ ton Bowman was asked to make a report at the meeting next Tues­ day night. The state board of health will be asked to make an inspection of the camp ground at the Shute park. Directors of the chamber of com­ merce recommended more direction signs to th/ park. The church vacates the other half of the upstairs of the city hall on February 23, and a committee of the council will prepare plans for rearranging it for the firemen. The councilmen indicated that they would let the baseball team have the baseball park again this year for the payment of the liability insurance, which amounts to about $50. City to Co-oporate In answer to a request of the city beautiful committee of the chamber of commerce for co-oper­ ation from the council, the civic im­ provement committee was instructed to work with the chamber group. L. J. Merrill, chairman of the union high school board, asked for information as to whether streets were really dedicated streets and what the policy of the administra­ tion would be in regard to street improvements near the school. The location of the J. W. Cope­ land gravel pit in relation to resi­ dences caused some comment. A proposed billboard ordinance resulted in much discussion as to what should be the policy of the Another of the popular American council. Legion dances will be given at the Shute park auditorium Saturday night. The legionnaires are adver­ tising it as a valentine dance, and will give valentine souvenirs.

G. Ray, in charge of the sell­ ing campaign.
