DALLAS, POLK COUNTY, OREGON, JANUARY 21, 1903.
NO. 4S
W' E wish you a
. Happy and Pros
perous New Year, and
take this occasion to
thank you for the gen
erous help you have
given us that has en
abled us to build our
business to what it is.
On November, 7 1903,
we began the Hardware
business with a total
stock of $2000 occupying
a floor space of 1000
square feet.
In January, 1905, we
added the plumbing and
tinning department to
our hardware business,
and on January 1, 1906,
added another depart
ment, that of furniture,
by the purchase of the
Kerslake stock. This
needing more floor space
we leased the entire
Kirkpatrick building,
which we now occupy
with the addition of a
large warehouse for each
department.
We now have a total
floor space of over 9000
square feet, over 9 times
the space we had in the
beginning. We now
employ regularly ten
people to look after this
business; five times as
many as we had in the
beginning, and we are
now doing more than
ten times the business
we did in 1904,;; and be
lieve that in 1908 we
will do 15 times as much
as we did in 1904.
You, our customers
have made our increased
stock possible, for which
we3 thank you, and
promise in the year 1908,
if we have your custom
it will be taken care of
in the same way that it
was in 1907.
Yours for a more pros
perous 1908.

The Dallas Skating Team defeated
the five from Newberg in a game of
basketball, Wednesday night, the
score being 28 to 8 in their favor. This
was the first match game of basketball
on rollers that had been played in Dal
las, and the galleries were all crowded
with people, eager to watch the new
sport, and to see how it compared with
the more common form of basketball
with which all were familiar.
Dallas established a long lead with
in the first three minutes of play and
from that time there was no doubt that
the home team would be victorious.
Quicker, cooler headed and more suie
footed than their opponents, they kept
the ball within their own territory the
greater part of the time, and threw
goals at will. Elder starred for Dal
las with a score of 5 Held goals and
two goals on fouls, Morton threw four
field goals, Brown, three and Simon
ton one on a foul. Magers played
back, and although he had little oppor
tunity to throw for goals, proved to be
an excellent guard. The goals for the
visiting team were thrown by Hlggins,
the conter, and Young.
After the game was finished, a
merry crowd from the galleries
thronged the floor for a skating ses
sion. George Brown, floor manager,
entertained the visitors with some of
his trick skating and fancy dancing
during this session.
The line-up in the basketball game
was as follows :

Will Play in Salem Tonight.
The basketball team of Dallas Col
lege will play a return game with
Willamette University in Salem
tonight. The score in the first game1
between these two teams was C9 to 11
in faVor of the home five, and the
Dallas sympathizers have, conse
quently, few misgivings as to the out
come of the approaching game. A
large number of college students and
"rooters" from the town will drive to
Salem tonight and witness the contest.
Willamette University and O. A. C.
stand nearly even in the percentage of
games won during the present season,
but Dallas College has thus far held
the lead in the south division of the
Oregon League, and promises to win
the undisputed championship of the
