seum Rink.
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.

expected, the visiting team proved-to
be no match for the husky Dallas

or in their skill on the roller skates,

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.

challenge from the Corvallis team,

known and most highly respected cit
izens of Dallas, died at his home Fri

congestion of the heart, followed by
pneumonia.
The f unerar was held at the Meth

in accordance with the old gentleman's
dying wish, the Rev. H. Gould, of

in his young manhood moved into
Iowa, where he resided until the time
of his coming to Oregon in 1893. 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.

Large Number of Invited Guests
Enjoy Evening at Colosseum
Rink.
The members of the "Leap Year"
skating club entertained a large num
ber of invited guests at a skating
party at the Colosseum rink. Friday
night, and although the weather was
unfavorable, it proved to be one of
the most enjoyable parties that has
ever been given at the rink.
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."

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

attended by a large crowd and the
church was filled to overflowing.

association, and the general service
which followed in the main hall of the
church, was presided over by H. C.

influence in the world.
