DALLAS DEFEATS SNOHOMISH
Wins First of Series of Coast
Championship Games by
Decisive Score.
The victorious basketball boys of
Dallas College arrived in this city
Saturday morning returning from a
successful visit to Snohomish, Wash
ington. Their progress from the
depot up to Main street was after the
fashion of a triumphal march, and
nearly all of the more ardently
enthusiastio basketball fans were on
hand to welcome the boys home and
play the famous game over again
with them.
All of the boys on the team say that
they played one of the best games that
they have put up this winter. They
piled up a good lead within the first
five minutes of the play, and from
that time forged steadily away from
their astonished opponents, and at the
end of 40 minutes, the team that had
issued "a sweeping challenge to the
world, Dallas, Oregon, preferred,"
found itself completely overwhelmed
by the enormous score of 41 to 14. On
the Dallas side six goals were thrown
by each of the forwards, seven by
Shaw, the center, and one by Savery.
Only one point was scored out of a
possible three, on fouls. Claud Shaw,
although only recently recovered from
the mumps, played throughout the
entire game.
Both the Snohomish team and its
supporters proved to be thorough
sportsmen, and the visiting team was
shown every courtesy during its stay
in that city.
When he arrived in Dallas, Manager
Kersey received a telegram from Sno
homish, saying that the team was
sick and would be unable to fill the
date for the return game on Wednes
day. This was followed by another
mesbage saying that they would come,
and the second game of thechamplon
ship series will be played in the
college gymnasium tomorrow night.

Dallas Soda and Bottling Works Will
Be in Operation Within One
Month.
Gideon Stolz, of Salem, was in Dal
las, Friday, inspecting the building
which is being erected at the west end
of Court Street, for the installing of a
bottling factory.
The work Is progressing very rap
idly, and Mr. Stolz says he believes
that he will have all his machinery
installed and the factory In operation
within a month. He says that It could
be started sooner, were it not for the
fact that the working floor of the fac
tory is to be made of concrete and can
hardly be prepared for tbe installing
of the machinery in a shorter time.
The Dallas Bottling Works will
deal only with soda water at first, but
later it will branch out into the manu
facture of vinegar, and the bottling of
eiders and fruit juices, in which busi
ness Mr. Stolz has attained a wide and
favorable reputation.
SMITH SUES SENATOR FULTON
Ex-Warden of Penitentiary Asks $5000
Damages For Alleged Defamation
of Character.
Papers were flied Saturday in a
slander suit in which J. S. Smith,
ex-warden of the penitentiary brings
suit against Senator Fulton for $5,000
damages. The suit grows out of the
campaign statement made by the
Senator in answer to Heney. The
papers were aorved on Senator Fulton
at the close of his speech in Salem
Saturday night.
Smith is the man who made affidavit
that Senator Fulton participated in
the negotiations which ended in Smith
receiving $1500 frn Senator Mitchell
during the hold-up session of the
Legislature In 1897. Fulton has
repeatedly denied that he had any
thing to do with that transaction and
in his speech he declared that the
Smith affidavit was false in this
particular. This assertion on Fulton's
part is made the basis of Smith's suit,
the latter alleging that Fulton has
accused htm of perjury, thus Injuring
his reputation.
Senator Fulton treats the whole
matter as a huge joke, and says
Smith's suit is a scheme of his political
enemies to weaken his chances for the
nomination for Senator.

Important Steps Taken to Increase
the Usefulness of Dallas
College.
The Twelfth Annual Session of tbe
Oregon Conference of the United
Evangelical Church was brought to a
close on Sunday night, after a most
successful week of work.
Reports from various fields showed
that great progress had been made In
all lines during the past year. A
number of new churches and par
sonages are to be built during the
coming year, the most important of
which is the First Church of Portland,
where the Rev. A. A. Winter, formerly
of this oity, is serving as pastor. Tbe
Rev. M. J. Ballantyne was re-elected
presiding elder, and stationed in the
Portland district and the Rev. H. L.
Pratt was stationed in the Dallas
district
On Sunday morning, Bishop Hartz
ler, assisted by the Rev. H. L. Pratt,
the Rev. M. J. Ballantyne, the Rev.
Joseph Hoberg, and the Rev. E. E.
McYicker conducted ordination ser
vices, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon
he delivered a missionary address.
At the latter service $850 was sub
scribed for home missions. The total
amount of the money appropriated by
the conferenoe to carry on the mis
sionary work in Oregon and Wash
ington was $cooo.
In the evening, the pulpits of the
various churches were filled by the
visiting pastors, the Rev. H. A. Deck,
of Salem, preaching at the Evangelical
Church, the Rev. E. E. McVlcker at
the Methodist Church, the Rev. W.
Plowman at tbe Christian Church,
and the Rev. 8. J. Lindsay at the
Presbyterian church.
During the session of the conference
several measures were passed which
will be of great Importance to Dallas
College. The Evangelical Association
was given a representative on the
exeoutive committee of tbe college, in
accordance with a number of resolu
tions sent up by the Ministerial Union
of the Evangelical Churches of Port
land, looking forward to tbe organic
union of the United Evangelical
church and of the Evangelical Associ
ation. When that step is consum
mated, it will mean a much larger
constituency for Dallas College than
it now has.
The Rev. H. A. Deck, of Salem, tbe
Rev. H. L. Pratt and H. Barendrlck,
of Portland, were re-elected to serve
on the Board of Trustees of Dallas
College for a term of three years.

Daring Burglars
Foiled !
The residences of several of our best citizens were
attacked by a band of blacklegs now infesting this
city, in the shape of Flies, Mosquitos, Gnats, Bugs
and Worms. But we are pleased to state that the
blood-thirsty villains were foiled at every house
where we have sold Wheeler screens -the only real
Scientific Screen.
These Screens are really "burglar-proof," for they
are the only Locking Screen; a burglar would have
to cut the wire which would waken any one! Peo
ple who sleep on first floors appreciate them.-
Ten-Day Free Trial
On any or every window you wish to screen. No
matter what you thought to buy, or what you
thought to pay, first use the Wheeler ten days free,
and learn all that a Screen must do to satisfy year
after year.
Off thev come after the trial if thev fail in anv wav.
