Because the Newport boys got
the skinning of their lives in the
basket ball game, last Saturday
evening, they are getting off that
old gag about Toledo importing
players from Corvallis and Indepen
dence. Ibis is a very unjust as
well as an unreasonable statement
and one that no true sport would
make. Ihere were no players on
the Toledo team but Toledo boys.
Why should Toledo import players
when Newport hasn't a "lookin"
even with the high school team?
Newport has good material for a
team, but the boys do not play
team work, and show a lack of
practice , Be tier practice up boys,
instead of beefing because you were
outclassed. The final score (32 to
10.

AN OTHER BUSINESS
BLOCK FOR TOLEDO.
That Toledo will experience con
siderable building activity this com
ing year there is no doubt. Besides
the many dwellings being already
built and planned there will be
some substantial business b ocks
erected. The work of excavatine
for one modern block is already un
der'way. John Ebbe, the contract
or, is getting things ready to
operate his steam excavating
machine on the Nulton lot at the
corner of Hill and Second streets,
and expects to have that work com
pleted by April 1st, when the erec
tion of the building will commence,
and it is claimed by the owner, H.
F. Nulton, the block will be com
pleted by early Fall. This building
will cover the entire lot, which is
77x100 feet. It will be built of
stone or cement, and will be twt
stories high. The entire lowe'
floor will be occupied by Mr. Nul
ton's store, and the upper floor will
be equipped as a modern, first-class
hotel. This building when finished
and the hotel equipped will cost in
the neighborheed of $10,000.
During the past year there has
been thirty residences and two large
business blocks built. There are
several residences now under con
struction and it is safe to say there
will be as many tnd probably more
built this Summer. Besides these
there will -be stveral jmore business
houses erected.
