RETIRES FROM BUSINESS
Ed BIddle Leases Dallas Foundry to
- D. 5. Harris and Henry
Stump.
After a 20 -years' business career in
Dallas, Ed. BIddle has leased the
Dallas foundry and iron works to
D. S. Harris and Henry Stump, two
young men formerly in nls employ,
The lessees took charge of the business
Wednesday morning. Their lease is
for a term of one year, with the option
of purchasing at the expiration of that
time.
Erom a small beginning 20 years
ago, the Dallas foundry has grown
until it ranks as one of the important
industries of Polk county. The plant
is modern in every particular, and the
output is shipped to all parts of West
Bin Oregon. Mr. Biddle, the retiring
manager has worked at the machin
ists trade for 48 years, and thoroughly
understands every detail of the bust
ness. Having acquired a competence,
he now purposes to take life easier.
His many friends predict, however,
that having worked so long at the
trade, he will find it difficult to break
away from it; in fact, the "old man
himself furnishes good grounds for
this belief by announcing that he will
'hang around the place, just to help
the boys out if they get in a tight
place."

WINS PORTLAND GAME
Dallas College Defeats East Side
Basketball Team by Score of
33 to 14.
Dallas College a.dded another sprig
to her laurel wreath when the "Wineed
D's" defeated the East Side Athletio
Club in Portland, Wednesday night,
bya score or 33 to 14.
Although the more incurable fana
tics on the basketball question sat up
until nearly midnigh't waiting for the
report of the game, little more than the
score could be learned, and an eager
crowd awaited the home coming of the
victorious team on the Thursday
morning train. The majority of the
Dallas aggregation had stayed in
Portland however, and the two who did
return were fairly overwhelmed by the
storm or questions that greeted them
From their answers it was learned
that the game, although extremely
rough, was a comparatively easy vie
tory for Dallas. Shaw starred for
Dallas with a record of 8 field goals to
his credit, and all the other members
of the team played a clean and error
less game. Teats, of Dallas, acted as
referee and Professor Rinerler. of the
Club, as umpire. One of the amusing
things about the game, wa3 the fact
that the Dallas suDDorters who accom
panied the team, althouah inferior to
tne Portland delegation In numbers,
did three-fourths of the yelling, and,
figuratively speaking, fairly "rooted
tneir opponents off the earth."
DEATH WAS SUDDEN
John H. Dunlap Succumbs to Attack

second wife. He lived near Dallas
from the time of his coming to this
state until his death. He was thrice
married and had three children by
his second wife, two of whom are liv
ng In Canada and one in Oregon.
Mr. Dunlap had many friends
among the citizens of Dallas and
vicinity and his death Is deeply
regretted by all who knew him.

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It Is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed.
With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month."
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than electrio light, but does it save you anything when it limits' op
portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals
but it wouldn t be economy. It is not so much what you save, but
how you Bave that counts.
