helpful address. Dr. II. D. Shel
don, professor of education in the
University of Oregon, has been se
cured to take his place.

Examinations At Dallas.
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

the old board of directors, the
personal of which is as follows; J.
H. Hawley, J. A. Withrow, J. J.
Thurston, W. E. Williams, James
Helmick.
The board . organized by the
election ot J. H. Hawley, president,
James Helmick ,vice president, and
J. J. Thurston secretary, the offic
ers that served the past year.
There was a good sized attendance
present at the meeting and interest
in the telephone service was mani
fest. The poles and wire from Mon
mouth into the Luckiamute country
is the property of this company
and are used by both Pacific Statea
and Independent systems. ; .The
line recently put up by Indepen
dence people connecting this , city
with Monmouth, is now serving
the users of Independent phones.
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

, Responsibilities gravitate to the

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.
