BUENA IS CONTENDER FOR COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP For - developing a fast, snappy basketball team, the Buena Vista high school is entitled to a lot of credit. With a total registration of but 16 Iboys a quintet of players has been assembled which is making the other high schools of Polk county si up and take notice. Buena has partici pated in five games, losing but one, to Dallas. Airlie, Monmouth, Rick reall and Independence have been easily defeated. So far, this gives Dallas first place, but the season is not over. Dallas is to play at Bucna Vista in a week or so, and if the home boys are suc cessful, then a contest on a neutral floor will bo necessary to decide the momentous question. Buena Vista boys are deeply inter ested. It has been largely through their efforts that basketball has been made possible, due to the lack of a desirable court. However, they are making the best of their opportunity and are accomplishing more than they anticipated at the outset of the Reason. I) It GEORGE C KNOTT BUYS SWOPE PROPERTY Dr. George C. Knott, who recently cumo here and formed a partnership with Dr. F. G. Hewctt, has purch ased the residence property of At torney B. F. Swope, located at the corner of Sixth and E streets.

WOMAN SELLS FAGS TO MINORS Mr. Iva Skinner of North Dallas Gets 30 Days Jail Sentence Dallas Last Saturday, Mrs. Iva Skinner was arrested at her grocery store in North Dallas for Helling cigarettes to minors. Her hearing was held Monday morning at whU'h time she was presented before Justice of Peace, Ed. F. Coad, and found guilty. After satisfactory evidence hud been presented by the sheriff and his witnesses, the justice imposed a $30 fine upon her, which she re fused to pay and is now serving her sentence in the county jail, where she will remain for 15 days, unless tho fine is forthcoming. The new occupant is about 45 years of age and has been in the grocery business for several years at her present location. Tho jail is seldom occupied by the gentler sex and the sheriff was somewhat concerned as to what snould be done in this particu I lur case, as there is no matron in charge of the free boarding house. However, he has made arrangements with the proprietress of the Rex cafe to look after her needs. Two hours were spent in dolling up the jail making it suitable for her arrival. Clean linen was added to the bed and the cells put in sanitary condition.

Baker, Monday, in an action which was brought by Edwin Nessin against E. E. Dole to gain possession of a resi dence property which Mr. Nessin re cently purchased from M. W. Mix on west Monmouth street, and occu pied by E. E. Dole. After the action was filed in court, Mr. Mix asked that he be made a party of the plaintiff which was granted by the court. Mr. Dole al leged that he had been unable to find a suitable available house, hence the delay in surrendering possession to the property in question. The plaintiffs were represnted by B. F. Swope and the defendant by D. E. Fletcher. Mr. Fletcher gave notice that the case would be appealed to the cir cuit court.

Ios Angeles wa3 the headjuarters f the Indoenden :e folk during their southern sojourn, although a con siderable time wai spent in touring through different parts of the st;;e, old Mexico being included in the places visited. "Business conditions are better in and around Los Angeles than in any other part of the state, although it is suffering to some extent from stagnation," says Mr. Henkle. "The annual winter tourist crop is not as heavy this year as usual, and this of course is an adverse factor. Climatic conditions are fine the mild weath er being a welcome change to even an Oregonian. We had a fine trip, met many old friends and former ac quaintances. We traveled about 5000 miles with practically no car trouble. j "Business in southern California is overdone.
