Gray, in a recent conversation,
said he was visited with poorer
health than he has been for some
time.
Geo. Briggs, of the firm of
Briggs Bros, was in Dilley a short
time this week. Mr. Briggs is
now located in Washington, near
Vancouver.
Mr. Balgar and wife were vis­
iting Mr. Pegg and family this
week; they were old friends in
Minnesota. Mr. Balgar is now
interested in the Beaverton Bank.
Mr. Pegg and family enter­
tained Mis. Dunken and children,
friends from the east, last week.
The Dunkens stopped over en-
route home from an extended
visit in California.
Prof. Wm, Scott, principal of
the Dilley school, has been re­
engaged for another term of nine
months. This will make four
successive terms for Prof. Scott,
which is indisputable evidence
that his services are eminently
satisfactory.
Arbor day at the Dilley school
was observed with appropriate
exercises. Rev. Pric? of the M.
E. church delivered an excellent
lecture upon the meaning of Ar­
bor Day. There was a goodly
attendance of the parents and
friends of the children.
The Dilley ball team crossed
sticks with the North Yamhill
aggregation last Saturday on
their opponents grounds, win­
ning by a score of 5 to 4. The
Yamhill twisters put up a good
game but the visitors were too
heavy with the stick work to be
beaten. A large crowd attended
the game.

The Banks Commercial Club
has inaugurated an advertising
campaign by which the claims
and advantages of the hustling
town and vicinity are to be made
known to homeseekers. 2000 cir­
culars have been printed which
members will inclose in their cor­
respondence. One side of the
circular contains a finely execu­
ted map showing the location of
the city on the direct route to the
coast front Portland, and also at
the junction of the P. R. & N.
and United Railways. The re­
verse contains a brief summary
of the inducements offered the
new comer, and emphasizes the
fact that as much of the country
is yet undeveloped there remain
abundant opportunities for the
man of limited means.
An impromptu musical recital
