HOP MEN WILL 0RQAN1Z
Two Hundred Qrowers Meet
Dallas and Discuss Market
Conditions.

In response to a call published by
S. H. Petre, of Bridgeport precinct,
nearly 200 hop growers and dealers
from all parts of Polk and adjoining
counties, met at the Courthouse
iaiias, ssaturaay at l o ciock p. m
tor me purpose or enecting an organ
ization to protect the interests and bet
ter the conditions of hop growers, not
only in Polk County but throughout
Oregon and the Pacific States.
S. H. Petre called the meeting
order, and after he had stated hi
object in summoning the hop men
be presanf, George McBee was eleoted
temporary chairman, and H.G. Camp
bell secretary of the convention,
During the greater part of the after
noon, the subject of an organization
of hop growers was discussed from
every view point. In the assembly
were prominent hop growers, hop
dealers and brewers from Polk, Marion
Yamhill and Clackamas Counties,
who almost without exception enthus
iastically favored the plan. All clear
headed and practical business men
they touched plainly and definitely on
every vital point of the subject in hand
By comparison and sharing of plans,
radical ideas were turned down
unsound schemes shown in their
proper light, and a clear, practical and
effective working basis arrived at.
ijrieny ineir pian ana purposes are
as follows: In their present unor
gamzea condition hopgrowers are
able to control neither the . price
nor the production of hops, and
their business must be conducted
largely on a basis of mere chance. All
that were present at Saturday after
noon s convention realized that a hop
growers' union organized in one
county alone would be worse than use
less, and that to do effective work, they
must strive toward the end of organiz
ing the growers, not only of Polk
county, but of the entire Pacific Coast,
into a union for mutual protection and
assistance.
ine plan tnen is first to encourage
organization in every precinct of Polk
County. These minor organizations
will be combined Into a county associ
ation, and when the other counties of
the state can be prevailed upon to fol
low the same-plan, all of these larger
organizations will be combined into a
union of the hop growers of Oregon
and eventually, of the entire Pacific
Coast.
Hon. I. M. Simpson, of Monmouth,
was elected president, and H. G. Camp
bell, secretary, to act while a perman
ent organization in Polk County is
being effected. Upon the instruction of
the assembly, President I. M. Simpson
appointed two committees, one to draft
a list of resolutions, and the other to
ascertain the acreage of hops in their
respective districts, and also the num
ber of bales yet in the hands of the
growers. Both committees will render
their reports at the next meeting of
the association, in Independence, Sat
urday, December 28.
The following men were appointed
on the first committee; S. H. Petre,
J. M. Grant, Clyde Beckett, A. J. Rich
ardson, William Percival, Hon. J. S.
Cooper, Henry Clan field, Mart Staf
ford, Verd Hill, and T. J. Graves. On
the committee on acreage were ; George
Ball, Mark Bu'rch, Alley McLaughlin,
E. Hubbard, Harry Lacy, H. B.
Brophy, I. F. Yoakum, H. Hirschberg,
James Helmlck and S. H. Petre.
Winter Banana Poor Keeper.
The planting of Winter Banana
apples on an extensive scale has never
been encouraged by experienced Ore
gon fruit growers. Its special merit
Is its beauty, and this beauty is so
easily marred that one needs to be
eareful about the way in which he
picks up one of them, or the pressure
of the fingers will knock the profit off
the apple. It will pay to raise this
apple in a limited way for the fancy
trade. It has been supposed that the
Winter Banana is a fairly good keeper,
but Portland fruit dealers are com
plaining this year that it is a poor
keeper. Rural Northwest
Bold, Bad Men Jailed.
Thursday night a party of horse
traders entered Madison's saloon and
endeavored to create a real old-fash
ioned "rough house." Nightwatch-
man Odom was called in and with the
assistance of some of the bystanders
finally succeeded in subduing the
quarrelsome strangers and leading
them off to the lockup. Although
inclined to be defiant at the time of
their arrest, a night of sober medi
tation quieted them somewhat, and by
Saturday each one of the five had
meekly paid his fine and hastened to
disappear.

DALLAS AGAIN VICTOR
o.
A. C. Basketball Team Badly
Defeated by Plucky College
Lads.
Dallas College defeated the Oregon
Agricultural College in a game of
basketball, Friday evening by the
decisive score of 43 to 11. The home
team has for a long time struggled
for supremacy with the strong team
from Corvallis, and every man went
into this game with a determination
to make it settle the question beyond
all possibility of doubt.
From the first second of the game
the supporters of the "Winged D"
played with a speed and fierceness
that fairly stupefied their opponents.
iivery enort or the uorvallis aggre
gation to start team work was crushed
in its beginning,' and by the end of
the first half they had become utterly
demoralized, and were playing wildly
and aimlessly.
The speed of the Dallas team work,
and the force of their attack was not
abated in the least throughout the
second half, and when the timekeepers
whistle finally blew the magnificent
score piled up against their opponents
attested to one of the most brilliant
and decisive victories that Dallas
College has ever achieved.
It would be a difficult matter to pick
any single man from the home team
as the star player in this game, for
the work of each one was swift, sure
and practically faultless. Referee
Mackie, of the Portland Y. M. C. A.
declared that it had never before been
his privilege to watch a team that
played with such absolute perfection
in every detail.
Craven led in goal throwing for
Dallas with a score of nine field goals
and Hamilton, of Corvallis, secured
three. Shaw and Fenton each threw
five goals, and Rooper, of Corvallis,
threw one, the remainder of the score
for his team being made on fouls.
The line-up.was as follows :
Craven
Fenton

Big Game Thursday Night.
The Dallas College basketball team
will meet the team of the Arctic Broth
erhood of Alaska, on the home court,
Thursday evening This team has
not been defeated during the present
season. It Is backed by a $10,000
syndicate, and coached by Swann,
formerly the fastest forward on the
famous champion team of Corvallis.
A game that promises to be so hard
as this one, and a game in which two
teams of such wide repute will be
engaged, is expected to draw one of
the largest audiences that ever
crowded the college gymnasium. Sat
urday night, December 21 the league
game between Dallas and Willamatte
University will be played on the home
court, and arrangements are being
made for a preliminary between the
college second team and a team from
the town.
College Students Entertain.
The program of the Philadelphian
Literary Society given In the College
Chapel Saturday night was very suc
cessful. Every part was well taken,
and the literary work of the young
men showed much cleverness and
originality. Especially well rendered
and pleasing were the three musical
numbers by the Rice brothers, Roscoe
Ballantyne and the Philo Quartette.
The comedy, "Smith vs. Smith," was
carried through with a dash such as
only a crowd of young college lads can
stimulate, and in spite of the slight
accident of a falling curtain near its
close, the audience was kept in an
uproarious good humor from the
beginning to the end.
