and those who have been so fortun

found in Dallas are slow to use any
more of the Salem stuff than is ab
solutely 'necessary. The big tank in
the capitol lobby has a filter attached
to it .while the members of the legis
lature have access to boiled aqua
pnra, which, while it may be "aqua"
all. right, isn't so "pura" as it
might be. Representative Hill, of In
dependence, is having a hard time of
it. He is a teetotaler, does not even
imbibe to the extent of coffee or tea,
and his favorite drink is buttermilk.
But Salem butter has been milked so
effectually that the supply is limited
and so Hill is put to it to quench his
consuming thirst. He says he hates
to drink the water and the boiled
article is poof stuff. Verd may eat

pass, unless all signs fail. The same
is true of the Panama-Pacific appro
priation. Everybody is agreed that
something must be done along this
line, but there is vast difference in
opinions as to the right figure. The
question of the appointment of a
commission to handle the fund also
bothers the legislators. It is made
the province of the Governor to
name this commission, and there are
many of the more rabid partisans
who would like to arrange matters
so that he wouldn't have this plum
to hand out.
Patronage Plums Bother.
Nor is this all. The several bills
proposed for changes in the judiciary
system invariably call for new offi
cials, or changes in those now in
office, which require the appoint
ment of others, and this duty is
usually given the governor. One bill
by Senator Carson, of Marion, which
contemplates a new judicial district
to be known as the Twelfth and to
be composed of the counties of Polk
ana lamniii, requires the naming
of a circuit judge and the governor
is given the power. Another, which
contemplates the elimination of the
district prosecuting attornev, and
seeks to create the office of county
attorney in every county, also pro
vides that the governor shall name
these county prosecutors, but an
amendment mill be tacked on to
that, permitting the present deputy
prosecuting attorneys to act until
the nest election. Just how the

Those who were averse to braving
the storm on Friday night to witness
the scrimmage between Pacific Col
lege, of Newberg, and the Second
Militia team, of this place, missed the
opportunity of the season for rapid
work, the home guards winning by
the outrageous score of il to 17.
The first half ended with the score
13 to 14 in favor of the Newberg
team. After that three points were
all that the Dallasites would allow
although the visitors insisted in no
timid way upon ' an- increase of
points. The college team increased
in rouhgness, but gained little by
this style of play. In several in
stances the college boys neglected
the work of finding baskets and pro
ceeded to administer some sort of
punishment to the soldier boys, and
at the end of the game matters were
at fever heat.
The attendance was very small,
notice of the game having been nec
essarily short, the weather being
stormy and the walks covered with
snow.
The new home team made up for
this occasion to meet the Yamhill
fellows was composed of Smith and
liiestand, centers; Boydston and
Van Orsdcl. forwards: Foster, Ma-
theny and Burk, guards.
The visitors showed plainly lack of
seasoning for their rough stive ot
play, but may win the Willamette
Valley pennant, for which they are
striving. The defeated team won
over the Independence team the fol
lowing nighf.

Four hundred and fifty-five peopl
witnessed the program given by the
Woman s club at the Armory
Saturday night, the program lasting
through three hours of delightful en
tertainment. There was very little
variation in the program, the only
change being the addition of two
violin solos by Mrs. Holman, of
Salem, which met with favor. Prac
tically every seat was filled and the
ladies of the club express them
selves as highly pleased with the at
tendance.
Very few had expected that Mrs,
Gilbert MacGregor, or any other
person, could have handled the large
huterpean chorus under her in
struction in such masterful way, and
many compliments have been heard
upon her able work. The chorus was
made up of untrained students and
the musical score oeupied 41 pages
of music, which were committed to
memory in a remarkably short time.
It has been decided to retain the
chorus for the opening of the Libra
ry, and the members will be kept in
preparation for this event.
The folk dance, with its pretty
movements, captured the audience,
and the enocres which were respond
ed to with catchy Insh and Swedish
songs, threw the vast audience into
a happy mood.
One-half of the proceeds of the
entelainment goes to the Students'
Loan fund of the Federation of Wo-
man s cfuos, ana tne ouier nan 10
the piano fund, which is to be used
for the purchase of a piano for the
assembly room of the Carnepe lib
rary.

MONMOUTH STUDENTS ELECT.

MONMOUTH. Jan. 20. (Special)
The student body of the Monmouth
college today, after a spirited con-
Jest, elected the following oflieers for
the ensuing year:

president, Florence Tate; secretary.

W. A. Ay res, couhcilman at large,
acted as mayor at the meeting of the
city council last night in the absence
of Mayor Craven, who is at Portland.
The surveying of Mill street, prepar
atory to establishing grades as far as
the county road, the petition of prop
erty owners along Uglow avenue for
standard sidewalk and the offer of
the Warren Construction company to
give the city hard-surface paving,
were the matters occupying the larg
er part of the time of the council.
Adjourned Meeting Necessary.
In order to hasten the matter of
getting an accurate survey of Mill
street and having it brought before
the voters at the next election, it wn
deemed necessary that an adjourned
meeting of the council be held next
Monday night to take special action
upon the matter. The matter wn.o
placed in the hands of the street com
mittee with full power to act.
The light and water committee re
ported the installation of three lights
on Maple street, which have been
asked for by residents of that sec-
tion.
A request from Councilman Bar
ham for an extension of 30 days
leave of absence, in addition to the
90 days' leave, which expires today,
was not granted, the precedent being
deemed dangerous. Mr. Barham ad
dressed his request from Oakland,
iUiiiorma.
Place for Prisoners.
The committee appointed to pro
cure jail space reported that the
county would allow city prisoners to
occupy the county jail, the county
court having left the .matter in the -hands
of the sheriff. It is understood
that city prisoners may be placed in
the county jail so long as there is not
a surplus of county prisoners, so as
to conflict with the work of tha
sheriff. The committee's report was
accepted.
Ld I, Coad, ex-county indue, was
elected by ballot to succeed City At
torney Tooze, resigned.
John Ashbaugh asked for electric
lights on Fairview avenue, appearing
in person. The matter mas left with
the street committee, with power to
act.
Join the Boosters.
W. V. Fuller, president of the
Commercial club, appeared before
he body and requested, on behalf of
the club, that the entire council ac
company a committee from the club
to Portland today, to meet wiih the
ofTicei-s of the Oregon Electric com
pany, in the effort to secure the ex
tension of their line from McMinn-
ville to Dallas. All who were able to
go signified a millingness to accom
pany the "booster" committee.
Paving Offers Made.
Representatives of the Warren
Construction company, of Portland,
were present and asked, in an infor
mal way to have the couneilmen in
spect the mork done at Portland by
this company, agreeing to pay the
espouses of the couneilmen. In view
of the fact that Dallas is to have
hard surface paving, and after hav
ing investigated the condition of the
streets, the company mas miiling,
said the representative, to put down
their sort of hard surface at the rate
of ll.iTi jk r quare yard mhere the
streets had already been macadam
ized. It was e-timated by the gentle
man that on streets where there ma
