Mil ler gained the first fall in 14 minutes by the use of a crotch and head-lock hold.

Made by Individual Crow- res. The Pacific Cooperative Wool Grow ers have JuBt mailed checks to mem bers covering mohair sold In the as sociation's spring pool.- Mohair of all grades averaged 43 cents tet through thl asoclatlon as compared with the prevailing country price ot 35c. Sales were made by the asociation through out the period from May until Oct ober and the price received by each member is the averagbj pool price for each grade resulting from the orderly marketing of the mohair during these months. Statistics gathered by the as oclation from mohair growers, coun ty agents, tleul irj, and country bank ers show that the prico paid for the 1922 Oregon clip of mohair sold out side the association averaged less than 33c. . Some 400 mohair shippers within the association lecevled a differential of 10c per pound more than the out- side nrice as a result of orderly coon UJ UQOIDID UUI .!(-! ' " " i'f ' " O " " summer monthu The association's sales of average hair opened at 60c In the nnrlne and cloaxl at 66c in the ae-iearly fall. The average pool price j of this grade was about 66c gross. I This is the first time that any con- siderable number of mohair growers have had their clips graded and sorted, or that any conslerable number Re ceive any premium for quality produc tion. Former buying has been done at a flat price for all grades unsorted, although there Is a spread of over 40c a pound in value of the different sorts ot mohair at the present time. The Pacific Cooperative Wool Grow ers is a cooperative marketing assoc latlon which handles the marketing of the wool and mohair produced by 2200 growers in Oregon, Washington, Ida ho, and California.

ST MEETS A DECISIVE DEFEAT BY COUNTY SEAT BOYS Toledo High School Lads, Thou New County Agent Finds Farm Outweighed Put Pigskin Over; ers of Siletz, Taft Otis and for Two Touchdowns While j Rose Lodge Enthusiastic; Beachites Get But One. Roads Bad Soma Places. The Toledo high school football team decisively defeated the Newport team at the fair grounds field here Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) by the score of 12 to 6 before a large and enthusiastic crowd of fans. The Now porters outweighed the local lads by big odds but were unable to take advantage of it. The field was in very poor condition due to the heavy rains an more resembled a duck pond than a football grounds. However, the boys stuck to their sloppy task until the referees' whistle announced tho end of the contest. At times when a "pile" was made In the dash for a down it waB necessary to aid the "guys" underneath to their feet so fast were they stuck in the mud. Tho the weather was cold drizzly the large crowd of fans stayed to the end and tnthusiastlcally ''rooted" for their favorites In the contest. . Although every member of the To lei'o team played excellently Lytle and Arthur Wade are deserving of special mention for their part In the battle. Wade carried the ball over the goal both times for . his teammates and one of these was made by a long end run In the first half. He was tackled by several of the opponents but proved to swift on his feet to be stopped. The winning of this contest gives the championship of the county to the local high school. .. "LET GEORGE DO IT" SPIRIT UPHELD BY VOTERS AT NEWPORT Municipal Election Results in Selection of Three Georges as Members of Commission for Manager Plan. The "let George do It" spirit was upheld by the voters of Newport Tuesday when they elected Geo. R. Dickinson, Geo. H. Wilcox and Goo. E. Portwood as members ot the com mission to inaugurate the new "Com mission Form of Government" for the city which was adopted at the recent general election. The Manager plan of city government is a new Idea in this section and many neighboring cities will "keep their eyes on New port" in order to learn from her ex perlences as to the merits of the plan. This plan, according to authentic re ports, has proved a wonderful suc cess in La Grande, Ore., where It was first tried by an Oregon city. From some of the "propaganda" gotten out before the election Tues day It would seem that a considerable battle was on at the beach resort for positions on the new commission. One set of candidates styling themselves as "Newport's Progressive Candi dates," got out hand bills reading thusly: "Have You Surrendered? H , No! We've Just Begin to Fight Etc." One tickpt was composed of H. Ruddlman, H. Stockor and Geo. Port wood. The Progressive ticket was Geo R. Dickinson, Geo. H. Wilcox and O. E. Franzke. The Progressives won out in that thej elected two of their candidates. Don't forget that the Chamber of Commerce has a meeting Friday nisht and If you are not there they might elect you president. Better show up and help elect "Georgo." Mnny matters of Importance to Toledo will come up for discussion come. DAIRYMEN WILL MEET HERE SOON TO HEAR EXPERT N. C. Jamison, Extension Dairy man of the O.
