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.

WASHINGTON NOT IN IT
The Oregons Score Unbroken Chain of
Victories While In Evergreen
State.
The progress of The Oregons
through the state of Washington last
week was simply a walkover. In
every one of the six basketball games
piayea they nereatea their opponents
by enormous scores at the same time,
in several cases, holding them down
to practically nothing.
The machine-lika precision of The
Oregons' team work oombined with
their weight, strength and accuracy in
goal throwing was a revelation to their
opponents who now regard them as
practically invincible. The Winlock
News, of Winlock, Washington, where
Dallas won by a score of 31 to 4, says :
"The Dallas team claims the cham
pionship of the Coast and has the
ability to bask up its claim. This is
the first game the home boys played
without getting a field basket, which
is due to the fact that The Oregons have
two of the best guards in the land."
In the game with Rosslyn, Thurs
day night, Shaw, the center, threw 6
goals ; Fenton 5 ; Morton 3 ; and Rice
3, with S more points out of a possible
12 scored from the foul line.
In defeating Ellensburg, Friday, by
a score of 57 to 3, Ellonsburg falling
to score at all in the second half, Dal
las established its record score for the
trip thu3 far. The scoring in this
game was made as follows: Dallas.
Shaw 4, Fenton 10, Reed 9, Morton 1,
C. Shaw 1, 7 points on fouls thrown by
Reed; Ellensburg, Chapman 1 field
goal and 1 from the foul line.
Saturday night the week's record of
victories was crowned with the defeat
of Spokane by the decisive score of 65
to 14, and a telegram from Anaconda,
Montana, last night announcing that
The Oregon b had defeated the team
of that city by a score of 22 to 1G,
gives an encouraging beginning for
another week.
The complete record of The Oregons.
for tho first week of their tour stands
as follows;
Oregons, 43 Vancouver, G
Oregons, 34 Winlock, 4
Oregons, 34 Seattle, 16

No eoteruinment will be held at the
Star Theater on Christmas eve, but a
fine program his b-en prepared for
the matinee to b held oo the afternoon
of Christmas day.
The racing and fancy skating at the
Colosseum rink Thursday, Friday
and Saturduy of last week proved to
be exceptionally good features and
merited a far greater patronage than
they were given. Tho cold weather
and the number of outside attractions
limited the crowd in attendance con
siderably, but all who were present
were highly pleased with the exhibitions.
Kruse and Little, of Portland, in
their trick skating turn each evening
were well received by the audience and
their skillful work surely deserved
the hearty applause given it. Trained
through years of public work, they
are now almost as much at home on
rollers as the ordinary man on his
feet, while some of the fancy steps
they are able to execute would puzzle
nearly anyone, even though he were
unhampered by a pair of erratic roller
skates on his feet.
George Brown, the local expert,
showed up well in the racing although
badly handicapped by an injured
knee. He was beaten by Little, Thurs
day evening in an exhibition race,
and ran away from Gaunt, of McMinn-
ville, on Friday evening. Saturday
he again defeated Gaunt. Both men
fell during the race, but Brown proved
himself superior in tho quickness
with which he regained his feet and
continued the race. It was admitted
by all who witnessed the races, that
Gaunt was no match for Brown either
in speed or form.
In an exhibition race with Brown
on the same evening, Kruse had the
misfortune to fall, seriously injuring
his right arm. No bones were broken
however, and he will soon be able to
be back at his work with saf:ty. !

far the best features Mr. Kerslake bas
yet secured for special attractions at
the rink. He Is planning to secure
other features that shall equal If not 1
surpass tbem in every respect
College Basketball Tram Defeated.
The Dallas College basketball team,
seriously weakened by the loss of three
of its strongest players who have gone
East with The Oregons. was defeated
In Newberg, Friday night by the close
score of 2 to 24. I'p to the last min
ute of the game Dallas was in the lead
with Newberg one point behind, when,
a goal thro o from the field reversed
their positions and dcided the game

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 wncn not needed.
With gaB or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In gome homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars ix r month.
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for loss 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 la not so much what you save, but
how vou save that counts.
