PREPARE FOR BASKETBALL Opening Game of Season Will Played With Monmouth on December 15. be WILL NOT REDUCE ACREAG The hoDtfrowers or Oregon are divided on the question that has bee raised of a reduction of acreage, with those opposed to the proposed plan apparently in the majority. The scheme for briogiog about this rc ductlon had its origin in Lane county where many growers, discouraged by the present outlook, have expressed the intention of reducing their presen acreage, or of plowing up their yard altogether. Interviews with leading growers of Polk, Marion and Clacka raas county, published in Tuesday'; Oregonian, indicate that the plan will not prove popular in the principal hop producing district of the Pacific Coast. The small growers see n reason why they should abandon their yards and leave an open field to the large growers, who, having contracted their hops for a term of years, will be unwilling to cut down their acreage, The proposed plan to cut down the cultivated acreage does not find favor among the -growers of the Dallas district. The yards in this district are small, ranging in size from 10 to 30 acres, and no material reduction in the individual acreage is possible if the farmers are llo continue in the business. While all the growers say they would favor any co-operative movement having for its object the bettormentof existing conditions, none Is able to outline a plau of work or to offer any suggestions looking to effective organization : in fact, most of them are of the opinion that no practical and binding agreomont amoner the growers will ever be reached. It Is highly probable that the Polk county growers will continue their presont acreage, cultivating light and cutting off all possible expense. The argumont is put forth, and with good reason, too, that a low-priced year is the time to prepare for high-priced years that will follow, and it is not unlikely that next year will see more acres of hops in Polk county than ever before. The rreftK nandwnung Known as the "vertical" system, generally taught in the public schools of Ore gon, is rapidly growing in disfavor. Business men will have none of it, and pupils who write no other hand find great difficulty in obtaining em ployment as bookkeepers. The Mc Minnvllle Telophono Eogiator says: "The systom of vertical writing in use throughout this stato is a disgrace to the commission that adopted the text books and a grievous wrong to the pupils who are compelled to learn the system. This commission foisted up on the schools a system or writiug that is derided by practically all businessmen. It is legible; but it is neither artistic nor rapid."

The Amity Eifterpriso made its first appearance Saturday. It Is a six column folio, edited and published by B. F. Monger. It will take enterprise, and lots of it, to make the new paper a paying property. Amity is not noted for supporting its newspapers. Hon. Henry E. Ankeny's boom for tho Governorship is growing. The Toters of Oregon might look farther and fare worse. j Lovers of basket-ball, and there are many of them in Dallas, will have no cause to complain about a scarcity of games this winter. Manager Jack Sibley says the College team will play more games than in any former sea son, and it is not unlikely that the town team will be seen in many con tests. The college team's schedule is being made up, and includes games with Multnomah, Portland Y. M. C. A., Newberg, Oregon State Normal School, Vancouver, Willamette, University of Oregon, Corvallis and McMinnville College. The first game of the season will be played in the Dallas gym nasium on Friday evening, December IS. The Newberg team will come to Dallas for a game on December 22. Bert Teats is coaching the Dallas team, and is well pleased with the outlook for a strong organization this winter. The boys are working hard, and are developing great strength. Mr. Teat3 is a player of many years' experience, and was one of the strong men on the famous Dallas team that won the championship of the Pacific Coast two years ago. In addition to coaching the team, he will play his old position as forward this winter. The game with Monmouth is anxiously awaited, and a large attend ance is assured for the opening con test of the season. - r lJL iis fir.? s- nieeeeeeeeei99&& Dr. Hayter. Dentist.
