To The Highest Bidder
A $40.00 Banquet Range
to be sold to the highest bidder regardless of price and without reserve, for cash.
The BANQUET RANGE is without a peer among the steel ranges on the
market today and we have adopted this plan of calling the attention of the pub
lic to the merits of this particular range.
BANQUET RANGES embody the many features of practical excellence you
expect in the product of one of the largest stove plants in the world. The oven
walls are lined with asbestos, concentrating the heat around the oven, economiz
ing heat and making Banquet Ranges quick and perfect bakers.
You run no risk when you buy a BANQUET RANGE. You can try it for
30 days, and if it will riot bake and cook as good as any range, we will take it
back and refund your money.
Sealed bids will be received for the range up to the 24th day of December,
1903, at 12 o'clock noon, and no bids will be opened until that time. All bids
must be securely sealed and marked, "bid on range", and addressed to ADAMS
& BROBST CO., Dallas, Oregon, with your name and address and bid enclosed.
We will be glad to show the range and explain its merits to anyone and if
anyone bids on the range without seeing it and after seeing it they are not satis
fied, they will be under no abligations to take it as it will then be awarded to the
next highest bidder.
In answering this advertisement, please mention the Dame of this paper.)

Eastern Teams Show Great Interest
In Coming Tour of Dallas
Five.
The tour of "The Oregons" eastward
is attracting considerable attention in
basketball circles of the states that lie
along their route of travel, as Is shown
by the following flattering mention
from the sporting columns of the
Evening Journal, of Billings, Mon
tana. "A letter was received Wednesday
by the sporting editor of the Journal
from the "Oregons" of Dallas College,
Dallas, Oregon, who are preparing
theirscheduleof abasketball trip east
ward commencing about the holidays,
asking for a game or games in Bill
ings. "That their challenge will be accepted
is assured, and it may be that two
games with the touring aggregation
will be arranged, as both the Billings
Blues and the Y. M. C. A. are anxious
to try their luck against the Pacifio
Coast champions. The "Oregons"
will be In Montana about the first week
in January, 1909,
"Their record is a most excellent
one. In, the season of 1906-07 they
played eight games at home, losing
only one to the Chicago Crescents, a
touring team from the Windy City, by
ascore of 14-18. En tourthe "Oregons"
won Ave out of six games, being de
feated only by the M. A. A. O. team 8
13, which team they had previously
defeated in Dallas, 39-13.
"In the season of 1907 08 the Ore
gons lost but two games out of 13,
defeated twice by the touring Mus
catine team which played lr- Bill
ings by 14-22 and 13-16 Bcores. En
tour the Dallas team won all five
games played, and in the last one
shut out Willamette University by
37-4, the University not securing a
single field goal, the four points being
on foul throws.
"The Oregons are traveling under
the auspices of the LaCreole club of
Dallas, which is financing their
expedition .to the Mississippi valley
and return. They will be the first
aggregation in the history of the
game to tour eastward, barring only
the Artie Brotherhood, of Nome City,
Alaska, who made the circuit last sea
son. The Oregons defeated the
Brotherhood 39-23."

MILITARY DANCE A SUCCESS
Large Crowd Attends Thanksgiving
Ball Given By Members of
Company H.
The Thanksgiving ball given by the
members of Company H, Wednesday
night, met with even greater success
than had been anticipated by any of
the young men in whose hands the
work of preparation had been placed.
Although it was the regular night
for the business meeting of the Circle,
the ladies kindly consented to hold
their meeting a trifle earlier than
usual and the hall was vacated by
them nearly an hour before time for
the dance to commence.
The size of the crowd of dancers
clearly showed how strong a hold the
militia dances had already taken on
the popular fancy. The proceeds from
the sale of tickets easily paid all ex
penses of the dance, and left a hand
some margin for the social fund of
the company.
The dancing began at 9 o'clock and
continued until 12:30 and every min
ute ot the time was full of thorough
enjoyment. The details that go to
make up a perfect ball were all care
fully attended to by the committee In
charge, the floor was In perfect condi
tion, and Seely's orchestra ot six pieces
furnished a delightful program of
dance selections.
It is the purpose of the company to
give dances regularly during the pres
ent season every two weeks and the
date for the next dance will probably
be set for Saturday, Decern! 12.

Uncle Bill Brown Will Celebrate His
Eighty-Fourth Birthday In
Royal Style.
All preparations for the big birth
day dinner given the widows and wid
owers of Dallas, by Hon. W. C. Brown,
Id celebration of bis eighty-fourth
birthday, are completed and "Uncle
Bill" Is devoting the few days that yet
remain to joyous anticipation of the
great event
The banquet will be held In the din
ing room of tbe Dallas Hotel at I
o'clock Monday afternoon, November
30. The management ot tbe hotel has
received instructions to use every effort
that will In any way tend to the better
success of his big dinner.
Invitations have been Issued to sev
enty-eight persons and there Is every
indication that the most of tboee who
have been Invited will be present.
This year Is the flrst that tbe host
baa extended loviiations to tbe widow
ers as Dallas as wll as the widows.
and. as a consequenoe, the attendance
at the banquet will be much larger
this year than ever before. In issuing
his Invitations Mr. Brown discovered
I that tbe widows In tbe city out-number
tbe widowers nearly two to one.
Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To yon, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It Is economical because it can be quickly turned off wnen not needed.
With gas or kerosene there is tbe temptation to lot light burn when
not mxxied to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month.
You can probably get some kind ot artificial light for less money
than electric light, but does it save you anything when it limits op
portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and Increases household work. You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals
but it wouldn t be economy. It Is not so much what you save, but
how vou save that counts.
