Y m C. A. 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.
Yerex brothers and George E. Wag
goner, of Portland, have secured an
option on the Boswell Bewley tract
of land, adjoining the town of Sheri
dan, in Yamhill county, and extend
ing back to the foothills, a distance of
about four miles. Thetract comprises
about 3,000 acres of bench and rolling
ground, with very deep soil and is
particularly adapted to the culture of
English walnuts. About one-half the
track Is cleared and the remainder is
covered with second growth fir and
oak grubs. The same persona have
recently purchased several large
tracts in the same vicinity, which with
the Boswell-Bewley tract they expect
to subdivide into small tracts and put
on the market. Portland Journal. -

FOR HOLIDAY GIFTS
It is not to be expected that every Christmas gift that the family man makes to
his good wife should be something in the furniture line Yet what cou Id be
more appropriate-useful as well as beautiful and something that all the mem
bers of the household may enjoy? It cannot be gainsaid that more pleasure and
more benefit are derived from money invested in furniture than from dmost any
thing else. And then, too, good, stylish, well-made furniture stands for years
and, passing from generation to generation, becomes an heirloom, priceless in
value because of the associations that cling about it.

Improvement For Hop Cultivation.
Krebs. of the Krebs Bros.
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. Salem Statesman.

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. 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. You
muld probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meal,
but It wouldn't be economy. Iti. not so much what you .ave, but
how vou save that count..
