No. 210, at Salem culminating in a division that came within a few votes, it Is understood, or abrogating: the bill for the proposed law creating a State Printing Office, purchasing a site, erecting a building, Dlaciner the State Printer upon a nai salary, regulating the office, creating a State Printing Commission ana nnnmnriatincr funds for the operation of the plant for the biennial period 1909-1910. The supporters or tne measure finally won out. One of the alleged causes of dis sension was the legislative com mittee's making the draft of the bill public before it had been approved by the main body of the union.

The local team played gilt-edged ball and were In the game at all times. The basket throwing was superior to that of any former Dallas team, and the team work Itself was of a high order of excellence. Fenton. at center, held hla man down in good shape and threw three baskets. His passing was penect. He has demonstrated to the people of Dallas that ho can play basketball, and it is certain that he will be able to hold his own with the crack centers of the Northwest.
