There is petition out in Mon mouth to the board of examiners to the effect of changing the place for holding the State teacher's ex aminations from Dallas to Mon mouth. This petition has been signed by a large number of Nor Dial students who anticipate tak ing the examinations. The reason for wishing for the change is on account of the scarlet fever scare at Dallas. News from the county seat yesterday was, that there were no new cases and that the fever was fast losing its bold and dying out. Both the public school and college at Dallas resumed their ; work yesterday. The state examinations will . be gin Wednesday at Dallas aud con tinue until Saturday. The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Luckiaraute Rural t0 Telephone Company . was held in ' , k a WrtrtH nri a n IT a II i Mnnrrtnflth yesterday.

BASKET, BALL ATOOUTH The Normal Basket Ball Team De feats the Willamette University In a Hard Fonght Game , The Normal basket ball team defeated the Willamette University team Friday night in the Normal gymnasium by score of 20 to 7. The eame was fast, . cleaa . and a hard foueht contest,- the best of in ir throuehout the lUVllUg ;ivi 0 O entire earned ' When the husky team from the Capital appeared on the floor and went through some Foot foam wort the SUDDOsitioD of the teachers had a sort of zero feel ing, for it was evident that a hard game was ahead of the little men from Monmonjth. When the Nor mals came out tor their "warm up" it was evident that they had speed if not size. The first half ended with 7 Doints to i Monmouth's credit, while Salem had secured but 4. In the last half the teach ers ''smoked up" to the tune of 13 while the Methodists made the rAst. nf their 7. Fast foot work and excellent 'goal throwing was what landed the victory for the Normalites as Salem's men had rather the best team work but not as good defense. The visitors accepted their de feat with the spirit of true sports men and made many friends by their gentlemanly behavior while here. This game ends the season for Wnni toftm aii three " of the team graduate with the February class. They have had a very suc cessful season, having met and Jofcxitarl Alhanv. Newberz. Mc- Minnville and Salem and lost to 0. A. C. and W. U. LIKE UP, Meeting At Lewtsvllle. There will he a'good roads meet ing at Lewisville on Saturday, Feb ruary 11th at 10 A. M. The ladies es of the Grange will furnish din ner to those who desire it at 25 cents each, money to go toward a circulating library. . The County court and road eupervisors are invited and it is hoped that every one will come out and take an interest in this movement for better roads. w. u. 8- 8 Long C Crowley Whipple G Coffey Simpson G Butler Miller F Stine Gramlr F Force , Responsibilities gravitate to the person who can shoulder . them, and power flows to the man who , nowa how. A meetimg of citizens in ths vi cinity of the' Kreb'a r-Hop Ranch was. held at Dutch Flat school house last week and fifteen signed up for telephones. , This means that Independence will be connect ed by phone with the country to the south. A system of phones is also deing installed at Rickreall with fifteen to twenty subscribers which means thai Independence will be connected with that town and the country to the north. These lines will connect with' the Pacific States.: ; The new i parties connected with are Archie Sloper, T, L. Hartman, C. E.,v Burroughs, H. W. Murphy, IPeter Kurre, Krebs Bros,, M. M. Porterfield, Frazer & Rice, W, P. Bevens, P. R. Alexander, Catlin & Linn .hop yard; W. E. Bevens, J. L. Hanna Dick McCarter and J. A. Compton. Tn this instance ' farmers contri buted in ' puttinn up the poles are furnished with phones and given access to the line at 50 cents a month. Other connections needed are with the Horst Bros. Hop Yard and the intervening country to the north and better connection with the hop district across the river. The Rural Telephone which is so convenient and popular with the farmers of the Willamette Val ley bringing the rural districts in close touch with the business cen ter are said to . be invading Lin coln county, that the settlers of Lobster are building and connect ing themselves with the outside world by means ol upper Aisea which already enjoys the blessing. Why dont the people of Lincoln county wake up from - their long sleep, at least long enough to con eider the proposition of attaching ourselves to the world, by connect ing with the rural phone at Blod getta Valley extending same down Yaquina taking in all tho?e non upper vallies with Morns, JJ.1K City, Toledo, Yaquina, Newport, Alsea and Siletz, m one great chain with all farmers along the line. Not a quick get rich proposition, but an awakening to the comforte and conveniencies that are in store for us in this life. we will put iorth only a small effort, to capture 'this convenience. x Toledo Reporter.
