Basket ball is something like foot ball, says the Albany Democrat. The forwards who throw the baskets receive the most credit, though just as much credit is due the guards who prevent the baskets of their opponents. In football the back men get the most glory, while the men in the line stand the brunt of the battle. During the dull Winter months we will re-finish furniture and paint buggies at prices for which the work could not possibly be done at any other time. There are many pieces of furniture in which the wood-work is as good as ever ; it is only the finish that has become old and worn. If you have any work of this kind, drop in and see us about it. Heath & CORNES. Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Fenton arrived home this week from a month's visit in Eastern Oregon, Eastern Wash ington and the Sound country.

Oberer, who recently moved his oak sawmill from theLnckiamute hills to Independence, was in Dallas yesterday on a business visit. He in forms us that his mill Is now ready for operation, and that he expects to begin cutting logs at once. The mill has been thoroughly overhauled and a large amount of the very latest-improved machinery added. The plant will be operated to its full capacity, cutting ash, maple, and other hard wood timber in the Willamette river bottom near Independence. There is a steady demand for lumber of this class, most of the orders coming from San Francisco. Mr. Oberer has had many years experience in operating hardwood sawmills, and knows how to turn out a first-class article of lum ber. This sawmill is an important industry for Independence, as several hands will be given employment at good wages, and there is timber near at hand to keep the mill running for several years. Preparing For Christmas. Great preparations are under way in Dallas for a proper celebration of the Christmas holiday, and gift-buying is taking up the greater part of the time of old and young. The stores are filled at all hours with a gay throng of Christmas shoppers, and the large holiday stocks are rapidly disappearing from the shelves and counters. The various churches of the city are making arrangements for the usual Christmas entertainments, and for suitable remembrance of the worthy poor. Pleasing literary and musical programs will be given in connection with the Christmas trees at the Methodist, Christian, Evangel ical and Baptist churches tomorrow evening. The usual number of social events may be expected during the coming week, and mirth and jollity will rule the hour until New Year's Day. Council of Investigation. By invitation of the Independence Baptist church, a council composed of representatives of the Baptist churches of McMinnville, Dayton, Amity, New berg, Corvallis and Dallas convened in Independence, Tuesday, to investi gate rumors circulated by members of the Monmouth church about Pastor Arthur S. Allen. The council was organized by electing J. M. Green, of Dallas, chairman, and F. C. Stanard, of Newberg, secretary. They began their work at 2 p. m and adjourned Wednesday at 1 :45 p. m. The find ings, decisions and admonitions of the council will be made public next week through the Independence church. Card of Thanks. We desire to extend our sincere thanks to the people of Dallas who have shown us so many kindnesses during the long sickness and after the death of our husband and father. Words cannot express our gratitude for all that has been done for us, and we will remember you all with thank fulness as long as we live. Mrs. C. Canfield and Family. Special Pains Will be taken to make the dinner at the Cottage Hotel on Christmas day a treat. CHARLES FARLEY IS DEAD Charles R. Farley died at his home in this city at 7 :10 o'clock this morn ing.
