DALLAS STATE CHAMPIONS
Defeats Multnomah in Second and
Last Game of "Championship
Series.
Having defeated every Oregon team
with which it has played this season,
the Dallas College basketball team is
the undisputed champion of the state.
The championship contest was settled
In the game with the Multnomah
team on the Dallas floor, Saturday
evening, when the visiting team was
defeated by the close score of 22 to 21.
It was a lightning game from start to
finish, and furnished rare entertain
ment for the spectators. The Dallas
men played in excellent form, and
threw eight field baskets to their
opponents' four. The work of Savery
and Claude Shaw as guards was
especially strong. The Multnomah
boys put up a gallant fight, but took
their defeat like true sportsmen. After
the game the Dallas team entertained
the visitors at the hospitable home of
Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Coad. The people
of Dallas are justly proud of the
wonderful record made by their team
this year.
Claude Shaw, one of Dallas' strong
men, has contracted the mumps, and
it is feared that he will not be able to
take part in the game with Sno
homish for the Coast championship.
If It is possible to play this game,
announcement will be made in due
time. Mr. Shaw is very ill and is con
fined to bis bed.

SUPPORT THE LIBRARY
Every Person in Dallas Should Attend
Benefit Entertainment Friday
Night.
The Dallas Free Library is greatly
in need of funds, having run behind
on its expenses for the last few months.
If the public does not rally to its sup
port by patronizing the entertainment
at the Colosseum rink next Friday
evening, this worthy institution which
contributes so much to the enjoyment
and good of the community will be
sadly crippled In its usefulness.
There must . be fresh books and
magazines all the while, and necessary
equipment forthe care of them. The
support which tbe city gives just about
covers the salary of the Assistant
Librarian and running expenses, so
money for books must come mainly
from efforts outside.
The entertainment which is offered
deserves most liberal patronage
wholly on Its own merits. Mrs.
McGuire's lecture-recital, "Echoes
from Dixie Land," will be presented
with a complete setting of Southern
airs by Miss Beulah Cadwell, a well
known singer of Portland. Mrs.
McGuire's art and versatility are
given wide sway in this production.
She will present Dot only her amusing
darkey dialect sketches, but will give
Gielow's beautiful "Ode to the South,"
and Henry Grady's superb description
of a Southern battlefield.
The Oregonian says: "There are
few rivals in Mrs. McGuire's class.
Her charm is Indefinable as an
impersonator and reader of negro dia
lect. Her keen sense of humor is ever
apparent, and with the grotesque
situations which she so charmingly
depicts, there is an invariable under
current of tenderness and pathos."
Secure your seats early for this
splendid entertainment

MANY YOUNG MEN ENLIST
Eighty-Six Names Already Secured
For Military Company in
Dallas.
That Dallas will soon have a com
pany of state militia now seems
assurred. At a meeting held In the
courthouse last Thursday evening, in
which a number of business men
participated, the work of enlisting a
company received enthusiastic en
couragement and many names were
added to the roll.
The meeting was called to order by
C. D. Chorpening, who has been active
in organizing the company. Judge
N. L. Butler was Invited to address
the assembly, and he responded with
a lengthy talk infused with loyal and
patriotic feeling. He showed the
utility of a military company, its
good to tbe country at large, and its
necessity because of the Monroe doc
trine and the attitude of certain
foreign nations toward tbe United
States. Judge Butler's excellent talk
was heartily appreciated by the young
men, and he was frequently "inter
rupted by enthusiastic applause.
Hon. J. . Sibley, an old-time
National Guardsmen, followed with a
brief and interesting talk, in which he
pointed out the good of a military
company to its individual members.
Judge J. L. Collins, a veteran of the
Indian War, gave a brief address
filled with only such patriotism as
exists in the breasts of tbe older men
who have fought for their country.
F. H. Morrison, for many years a
member of the United States Navy,
spoke strongly in favor of tbe organi
zation, and Dr. B. H. McCallon, Polk
county's representative in the last
Legislature, approved the movement
and told of his support of the Armory
appropriation bill.
Chairman Chorpening then called
for names, and a large number of
young men went forward and. signed
the roll, bringing tbe total up to 86
names.
Another meeting will be held about
April 8, at which time Adjutant Gen
eral Finzer and other well-known
military men are expected to be
present. Those who have signed the
roll are :

For County Judge.
J. G. VanOrsdel, candidate for
County Judge of Polk County, Oregon
on the Democratic ticket, to be voted
for at the primary on the 17th of April,
1908, submits the following platform
First I will advocate good roads
and a fair distribution of the road tax
It Is not just to collect taxes from the
outlying districts, and not give the
taxpayer his share of the road work to
make it more convenient for him to
reach market '
Second. No waste of publio money
strictest economy consistent with
good administration of county affairs
a square deal and good treatment for
every one.
Third. I will try, If nominated and
elected, to work in harmony with the
County Commissioners so far as
think Is for the good of tbe people.
Fourth. Should tbe voters of Polk
County decide that I am tbe proper
person to fill the office of County
Judge, I will give to the management
nf tha business of tbe County tne
same energetic and careful attention
that I have given my own business.
Fifth, I believe in tbe Direct Pri
mary. I think this is one of the
agencies In the hands of each elector
to bring tbe government nearer to tne
people, and take It out of the "boss
rule," giving us "a government of the
rmnnln. bv the neonle and for tbe
, i , . .
people."
I will say In conclusion that
served tbe people of this county from
1898 to 1902 as sheriff, and yon can
look into my record, and if found
wanting, you can turn me down the
same as you should any man that was
unfaithful In his trust
