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 could 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 almost any
thing else. And then, too, good, stylish, well-made furniture stands for years
and, passing from generation to generation, becomes an heirloom, priceless m
value because of the associations that cling about it.

Easily Defeated.
The Dallas College basketball team
met its first defeat this year on the
local floor Saturday evening at the
hands of the five from the aiuitnoman
Athletic Club, the final score being 13
to 9.
The came was the fastest and most
closelv contested one that has been
played since the time Dallas met Mus
catine last season, and It would nave
been a difficult matter at the end oi
the first half, when the score stood 4 to
S in favor of Multnomah, for the
spectators to predict just bow the final
score would stand.
In the latter part of the last half
however, the superior weight of the
visiting players told, and they slowly
drew away from the home team. Eioe
and Ballantyne, 4he Dallas forwards,
nlaved their usual swift same but.
matched against guards of superior,
weight and strength, were unable to
score from the field. Fenton at oenter
and Claud Shaw at guard were the
only players on the home team wno
had sufficient weisht to meet the
onslaughts on the big players from
the club.
This victorv outs Multnomah In line
for the pennant with Dallas still hold
ing a chance to tie. although the col
lege team will be seriously crippled
by the loss of several players who
nave gone on the eastern tour wim
The Oregons.
The line-up in Saturday night's
game was as follows:, Dallas, Bice,
W. Ballantyne, Fenton, Shaw, Lew
Ballantyne; Multnomah, Dent,

athletio fame of Dallas by gaining
and holding the championship of Ore
gon and the Pacifio Coast, left yester
day arternoon on its long tour tnrougn
the East, where it is to spread still
further the glory of Its athletic
achievements and incidentally give
the cities it visits, at least a reading
acquaintance with the resources and
the prospects of Dallas, Oregon, and
Its violnity.
A huce crowd gathered at the depot
to bid the team goodby and as the
train pulled out of the station, the
departing players who clung to the
hand rails about the steps while they
leaned out to wave farewell, were fol
lowed by a roar of Bhouted good
wishes, mingled with the sharply
accented "Zee 1 Blpi -Rahj Oregonsl"
from the orrouo of college students
w.ho had adapted one of their favorite
yells for the occasion.
On the same irain were nearly a
dozen of the more enthusiastic de
votees of basketball, who were deter
mined to accompany the team to Van

send off."

the schedule through the Eastern
states according to arrangements to

back direct to Dallas, so that the
friends and supporters of the aggre
gation in this city may keep close
watch on the work of their team
through the medium of the tele
graphic messages. The manager has
also agreed to mail more detinue
reports from time to time and In this
way all may know within a few days
after a game has been played, just
how It was played and who made the
scores.
Hard and consistent training has
nut the bovs In first-class oondition
and unless some unforeseen accident
occurs to cripple the team, the Dallas

to be the strongest that has ever gone
out from the Pacific Coast

Electricity for Lighting
Is only eipensive 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 the temptation to lot light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting aud adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month.
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than electric light, but does it save yon anything when it limits op
portunities for work and recreation-ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and increases household work. Xou
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 you save that counts.
