The Dallas skatiDg team 'defeated the five from Eugene in a game of basketball on the home floor Saturday night, by a score of 27 to 4. Although a hard game had been expected, the visiting team proved-to be no match for the husky Dallas aggregation, either in their playing or in their skill on the roller skates, and the victory was easily in the hands of the home team from the first minute of play. The game was exceed ingly rough, and many fouls were called on members of both teams. Dallas has received and accepted a challenge from the Corvallis team, which claims the state championship, and the game will be played in this city next Saturday night. Corvallis defeated Eugene last Friday by a score of 30 to 5, which.

He is survived by his wife and one adopted daughter, Mrs. Willard Siefarth. of Portland. During the fifteen years of his res! dence in Dallas Mr. Cadwell endeared himself to the people of this city, both young and old, by his genuine kind heartedness and his rigid integrity. A man of stern and Puritan character, he was possessed of a gentle and spon taneous humor that softened and rounded the rougher outlines of his nature, and acted like a tonio of sun shine upon all who were near him.

The hall was decorated in the colors of the club lavender, purple and white and each of the incandescent lights was covered by a purple or lavender shade, and the name of the club was displayed in white letters on a purple banner across the eastern balcony. The membersof the club, dressed as "derby girls," took the entire charge of the entertainment, and managed the floor with admirable skill, taking care that since it was "ladies choice throughout the evening, as many of the men as possible should be supplied with partners for each "skate" and none of them should be forced to play wallflower. During the evening punch was served from a daintily trimmed booth beneath the eastern balcony. The skating session continued far past the regular time for closing the rink, and it was verging close upon 11 o'clock when the merry crowd was summoned from the floor by the order "skates off."

Music was furnished by the famous Normal Quartette composed of mem bers of the faculty of the State Normal School at Monmouth.

The union services held by the Christian Associations of Dallas at the Evangelical Church, Sunday night in celebration of the twenty-seventh anniversary of the founding of the Christian Endeavor Society, were attended by a large crowd and the church was filled to overflowing. The prayer service held in the Sun day School room was conducted by Lauren Matthews, of the Presbyterian association, and the general service which followed in the main hall of the church, was presided over by H.

The musical portion of the program was excellent. In addition to the con gregational singing, which was led by a choir composed of members of every church choir in Dallas, Miss Ethel Gwinn sang a beautiful sacred solo, Misses Opal McDevitt and Georgia Martin a duett, and the "Ger man Quartette," of the Evangelical Church, composed of Professors Metz ger, Mock, and Dunkleberger and Mr. C.
