STATE PRINTERS DISAGREE
Proposed Mate Printing Bill Saved
by Only a Small Majority.
. ft
Dissension is aaid to have arisen
anions; the members of Capitol Typo
graphical Union. 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. Another
ground for complaint was that of
asking for an appropriation of
$101,000, which was thought by some
to be in excess by about $30,000 of the
amount required.
ThA minoritv succeeded, however, in
securing an order from the union in
structing the committee on legislation
to follow the copies of the bill sent out
with a circular letter, explaining that
the figures were merely tentative.

just now:
"George C. Brownell: my wear
Senator and Friend : I have received
your dispatches since Hall left Port
land and since he arrived here, and
both Senator Fulton and myself have
done everything in our power to pro
tect you, and also Campbell, who is
also under the ban of Greene and
others, as we learn to our very great
BiimHsfi and regret and without
going into particulars I think I have
been able to so arrange matters as to
protect you both.
"Of course, Friend Brownell, this
letter la to you In the strictest con
fidence. The best way for the present
Is to drop all talk about the district
attorneyship and let the matter rest
just precisely as it stands for the
nresent. Both Fulton and I have, for
the purpose of fully protecting your
Interests, (rone very much rartner in a
certain direction than we ever sup
posed we would. I cannot explain
fully to you until I see you just wuai
I mean.
"Hall leaves this evening for home.
My advice would be for you to say
nothing to him whatever, unless he
says something to you. Just let the
matter drift for the present, mis is
all important
"Faithfully and sincerely your friend,

In a fast and exciting game of
basketball, the first team of Dallas
College defeated the Chemawa Indian
team by a score of 42 to 6 at the
college gymnasium, Friday nignt.
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.
Launer. the lightning forward, threw
10 baskets. He Is without doubt one
of the strongest men that has ever
nlAvedona Dallas team, ills team
work is beyond criticism, and he
bnnwa hnw to keen awav from ins
man.
Craven, the other crack forward,
added 14 points to. the credit of the
Dallas team. Thq basketball rans
hnvo ftlwava counted "Bock" one of
the BtroDKest forwards in tno state,
and his work this year is even netter
than that of last. When he gets the
ball In his hands, it seldom fails to
land In the basket
Saverv. at euard. shut his man out
and, by his cool and deliberate passing
ii

of the ball, helped to swell the score.
He proved himself a competent guara.
Arnold, one of Dallas' oia renauiea.
although just recovering from a
severe spell of sickness, played a good
game. Shelton took his place In the
second half, and his work was praised
by all the spectators.
The team showed itself to be fully
the equal of former Dallas teams, and
that means there are no Detter on mo
Paclflo Coast. Those who flaw the
game Friday night feel confident that
Dallas will have no dimeimy in win

basketball league.

In suite of the fact that the word
