The demand for the handles turned out by this factory is steadily in creasing, and a traveling salesman has been employed to visit the trade regularly in Oregon, Washington and California. Tho oak timber in the hills between Dallas and Falls City is said to have no superior for handle purposes, and it is not unlikely that the capacity of the Dallas factory will have to be doubled, or even trebled, in the near future. Writing from Canton, Ohio, Dan Poling, the crack center of last year's Dallas basket-ball team, expresses the hope that tho College will again have a team in the field that will win victories all along the line. He says : "The main thing for the players to re member is that in unison and harmony is good team-work and victory, while in jealousy and discord is individual play and sure defeat. Tell the boys I'll yell for them and think of them when the games are on." It was superior team work that won the Ore gon championship for Dallas College last year, and the boys of the present team will do well to keep Dan's advice in mind. iPd aainsin Holiday Good Surprise Sale on Clothing Our Surprise Sale on Clothing has created a wonderful activity in our Clothing partment.

Wednesday '8 Salem Statesman prints a list of Oregon young men who are now or have recently been at Harvard, and in the list we notice the names of former Polk county boys as follows : E. B. Shepard did his preparatory work in Willamette and at the Oregon Agricultural College, taking his A. B. degree from the latter in 1901. This was followed by a year's work in the electrical engineering course in the University of Oregon. In 1903-04 he did graduate work in Berkeley, re ceiving the degree of A. B. from that institution, and winning a member ship in the Sigma Xsi society, a very honorable recognition. He is at present pursuing his studies in elec trical engineering in Harvard. William A. Morris, a nephew of the Farley brothers of Dallas, graduated from Stanford in 1901 with an A. B. degree, having done preparatory work in Willamette. In the spring of 1901 he won the Carnot debating medal, one of the highest honors obtainable in Stanford or Bexkeley. In 1901-04 he taught in the Portland high school, (Latin and history.) In 1903 he pub lished a scholarly article in tho Ore gon Historical Review on "The Authorship of the Hubert Howe Ban croft Histories." He is now holding a $250 Austin Scholarship for Teach ers, and will doubtless take his A. M. degree this year. His marriage last June to Miss Mina Huelat, of Salem, is well and pleasantly remembered. Walter J. Shepard graduated from Willamette University in 1900 with the degree of A. B. He was one of the Harvard students who cycled through England, Scotland and France in 1901, graduating from Harvard in 1902 with an A. B. degree. The year following he was at the head of the department of history in tho Missouri State Normal School, at Kirksville. He is now in Harvard holding an Austin Teaching Fellowship, and is Prof. Hart's assistant in history. He was married in 1903 to Miss Alice Adams, of Kirksville, Mo. Enjoyed His Trip. J. L. Castle arrived homo Sunday from a two months' visit to his old home in Pennsylvania. He reports a pleasant visit with his relatives.many of whom he had not seen for 38 years. Mr. Castle also attended the St. Louis Fair and the Fat Stock Show in Chicago. He returned home by leisurely stages, stopping at Denver and Salt Laite City enroute. He says that he enjoyed every minute of his trip, but that he is glad to be back in the Willamette Valley, which be con siders the best country on earth. Mr. Castle did much missionary work for the Lewis and Clark Fair, and says he found many people who are coming to Oregon next year. Athletic Exhibition. Much interest is manifested by the young men of Dallas in the indoor athletio entertainment to be held in the College gymnasium next Tuesday evening. Tho performance will con sist of gymnastic feats of all kinds, tests of skill and endurance, and will close with a game of basket-ball be tween the Dallas Athletic Club and the Dallas College team. As this will be the first public appearance of this year's college team, tbere will duubt less be a large attendance of basket ball patrons who are anxious to see the new men in action and to compare their work with that of the teams of former years.
