Basketball Players De cisively Beaten By Dallas College Aggregation. Io the second league game of the ,paon, pluved in this city Saturday evening, Dallas College again demon tnlte,i the superiority of its play, defeating; the basketball team of the Portland Y. M. 0. A. by a score of 29 t0The game was uneventful, Dallas seeming a long lead at the beginning which was easily maintained through ouj the entire 40 minutes of play. The opposing team was weak on both team work and goal throwing and although iM players averaged a trifle heavier than those of the local aggregation, they were far outclassed in speed. Regan, of Newberg, acted as referee. His decisions were perfectly fair to both sides, but he called points so closely that the Dlav was made too slow by the frequent stops, to make a really interesting game. Fenton led the Dallas team with six field goals to his credit. Rice and Walter Ballantyne tied on field goals with two baskets each, the former scoring eight points also on fouls, with one point awarded. Hartman, of Portland, threw one field goal and Freeman and Gates one each and Sweeney threw two from the field, eight from the foul line and bad one point awarded. The Portland team defeated New berg on its own floor last week by a score of 33 to 14 and, in view of that fact, the Dallas aggregation is look ing forward to victory at that place also. The next game to be played in Dal las will be between Dallas College and the Multnomah Athletio Club, Satur day, December 12. That game Is expected to have much to do in decid- Buy Big Walnut Tract.

Hop company, thinks he has a plan which will revolutionize hop cultiva tion. The innovation Is a ten-disc nop plow to be drawn by four horses, and complete a whole row at a time, aver aging It to 16 acres a day. nreos rirno. used this plow for the first time during the past year and has found It so satisfactory that it will be the o ly one used In their yards In the tuiure. As many of the hop farmers wno aaw the plow work desire one of them for their own use Mr. Krebs has ordered a carload from the eastern manufac turers. The entire carload, w in num ber, has already been disposed of. Mr Krebs thinks the plow will Deoome ldlv used, not only for cultivating hops, but also for use In fruit and wal nut orchards.

To you, 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 the temptation to lot light burn when not SeSU to save bother of lighting and adjusting. Jo some home, the electric llcht bills amount to only one or two dollar per month. You can probably get some kind of '.rtillclal light to U mo ney than electric light, but does It save you anything whon it Hnl op rrtunWes for work and recreation-ruin, your ght-jmokea yur wa ls-mar. decoration, and increase, household work.
