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 in
value because of the associations that cling about it.

MAKE GOOD BEGINNING
'The Oregons" Easily Defeat Basket
ball Teams of Vancouver, Win
lock and Seattle.
A telegram received late Wednes
J i I a .- a a, . l. : l I
victory of The Oregons in the follow
ing words : "The Oregons, 34 ; Seattle,
16 ; boys feeling fine."
The champion basketball team sent
out by Dallas to tour the East has
certainly begun its trip under good
auspices, winning three games in
rapid succession from three of the
representative teams of Washington,
by astonishingly large scores.
Vancouver, played on Monday, the
first night out, was defeated with
ease by a score of 43 to 6.
Fenton, the big forward, led in the
goal throwing, scoring 18 points from
the field, Edward Shaw scored 12,
Morton, 4, Reed, 6 with one from the
foul line, and Savery, 2. Savery
played only during the last six min
utes of the game taking the place of
Reed, who was slightly injured and
was obliged to retire from the game.
Reed's injury however did not pre
vent him from playing on the follow
ing evening in the game against Win
lock, in which he repeated bis goal
throwing record of the previons even
ing scoring 6 from the field. He also
showed up in wonderful form on goal
throwing, scoring 8 out of a possible
13 points. Shaw, at center, scored 8
from the field, Fenton 6, Savery 4, and
Morton 2, making a total score of 34 to
their opponents 4. Winlonk was un
able to make a singlo score from the
field.
Winlock claims the championship
of southwestern Washington, having
won 13 games out of 14 last season,
the one game being lost to the Mus
catine five that toured the west last
year.
The score in the Seattle game, 34 to
16, Indicates a much harder game
than those of the two previous nights.
Seattle is claimed to have the strongest
team in the state, and if that be true,
the sturdy Oregon boys have little to
fear In tho games in Rosslyn, Ellens
burg and Spokane.
Standing of League Teams.
The basketball season in the Oregon
League is still young and it would be
a difficult matter to forecast the out
come of the series of games yet to be
played. Willamette University has
thus far played no games and the
strength of the aggregation she will
put In the field cannot be estimated.
At present the race seems to be between
Dallas College and Mulnomah Ath
letic Club, with the clubmen slightly
in the advantage. The percentage
standing of tho teams is as follows :
TEAM WON LOST PER CENT
M. A. A. C. 2 0 1000
Willamette 0 0 1000
Dallas College 2 1 666
Portland Y MC A 1 1 600
McMinnville 1 1 500
Newberg 0 " 3 000

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 needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars tier month.
You can probably got some kind of artificial light for less money
than eliHTtrlc 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 bo much what you save, but
how vou save that counts.
