April 8-Dallas, 46 ; Snohomish 19 ;
piayea at Dallas.
The defeat of the basketball team
from Snohomish, Washington, by the
decisive score of 46 to 12, in a game
played on the local floor Wednesday
night, removes from the field the last
claimant for the honors of the Pacific
Coast championship, and leaves the
nve supporters of the "Winged D" In
a classentirely by themselves.
It is not surprising then, that the
home team should begin to look about
ror broader fields of conquest, and, in
view of the hearty support that has
been given by the citizens of Dallas
during the past, it is not strange that
ine Dusiness men of the city should
respond promptly and liberally to the
appeal for funds to back their
champion team in a tour of the eastern
states.
H. L. Fenton, who has been chosen
as business advisor of the team, circu
lated a petition Wednesday afternoon
among the business men of Dallas and
secured pledges for $1,750 within a few
hours. This sum will be increased to
$2,000, and next season, the team that
was so signally and uniformly victor
ious during the winter just passed,
will start for the East, representing
the basketball prestige of Dallas and
of Oregon against the United States.
Of the game Wednesday night there
is little to be said. Dallasdearly out
classed its opponents in every respect,
and baskets were thrown at will. The
Dallas five played easily during the
entire game, doing but little sensa
tional team work, and relying more
upon sheer weight and strength to
break down the guard of the Sno
homish players. Ned Shaw led In
scoring, throwing nine field baskets.
Craven threw seven and Fenton six
from the field and two from the foul
line.
Although they knew that their defeat
was inevitable after the first three
minutes of play, the Snohomish men
played gamely throughout the entire
contest, never once lowering their
bands, and winning the admiration
and respect of everyone in the audi
ence by theirgritty and sportsmanlike
conduct.
In the intermission between the first
and second half. Manaser Eersev
stepped out onto the floor, and
announcing that the gate receipts!
lacKea oi making up the sum
required to pay the expenses of the
game, asked the assistance of the
"fans" In supplying the deficit. The
Dallas rooters, ever loyal to their rep
resentative team, responded promptly
and in no uncertain manner, and for
five minutes the coach and manager
of the team were kept busy chasing
down the coins that were tossed let
the court by those on the sidelines.
Although, as a rule, a team stand
ing uniformly at the bead of the list
is not regarded as a success from
financial point of view, the Dallas
team never has had, and indeed never
oould have, any reason to complain
on account of the lack of financial
backing from its enthusiastic rooters,
and the zealous and substantial sup
port given by the citizens of Dallas
has been an unfailing source of
astonishment to visiting aggrega
tions.
Dallas has demanded of her team
victories, and has been ungrudging
in her support ; in return the "Winged
D's" have given them the victories
that they desired, scoring 619 points
during the past season, to their
opponents 207, a record almost unpre
cedented in the history of basketball
on the Pacific Coast.

Candidates' Column
TO THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS
Pa says, "A good cook, a good wife
and a good job will make a good home
anywhere." Lots of men ' who are
used to getting one dollar's worth of
food for a five-dollar bill down town,
expect their wives to get five dollars'
worth of groceries for a one-dollar bill
and save the change toward buying
their cigars. There's no place in the
town where you can make your money
go any farther Jn buying groceries of
first quality than at Loughary's. The
boss never buys what is called the
second cut" of anything. If any
article Is shipped to us and upon
examination it falls to stand the most
searching test, the boss comes up with
the marking pot and writes "23" on
the package and back It goes to the
shipper.

J. G. VaoOrmlel, 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 ot the road Ux.
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.hlm to
reach market
Second. No waste of public money ;
strictest economy consistent with a
good administration of county affairs;
m square deal and good treatment for
every one.
Third. I will try, it nominated and
elected, to work In harmony with tbe
County Commissioners to far as I
think Is tor 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
of the business of the County tbe
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, ot the
agencies In tbe hands ot each elector
to bring tbe government nearer to the
peopK and take It out of tbe "boss
rule," giving us "a government of tbe
people, by tbe people and for the
people.'
I will say In conclusion that I
served the people of this eounty from
l4 to mi as sheriff, and you ean
kwk into my record, and if found
wanting, you can tara me dowa the
am as you shoal J aoy maa that was
efait&fel la bis trust
