A large delegation of Newberg commercial club member» went to Dayton.on Thursday evening, Novem ber 17. and had one grand eoclal time. Dayton hospitality was sure a sincere one and those from New berg who %ccepted their invitation are looking forward to another af- fair such as this was. The predom inating feature of the evening waB a checker tournament. Newberg’s team consisted of R. M. Thurston, 8. P. Tlmberlake, Mr. Dunton, W. W. Nelson, J. C. Monk» and Andy Anderson. Dayton’s team was as follows: Mr. Sherman, Mr. Profflt, •’ Major” Miller, Mr. Bertriam and Mr. Willard. One exciting feature of the games was when Mr. Dunton of Newberg took Mr. Sherman, tbe invincible, of Dayton, - into camp. Considerable fun was enjoyed over a game played by Major Miller of Day- ton and J. C.' Monk o f Newberg. While the game was being played, the Newberg trio, consisting of Dr. R. W : Van Valin, George McGee and Bert Miller, sang a parody to the tune of ” Tipperary” , which started something like this: “ It’s a hard, hard thing to beat old Newberg.” Whether It was the boosting done by the trio or good steady nerve on the part of Newberg players that got them out of the hole is u question. Anyway, to start with. Dayton took the lead by about four games. The final outcome however, was 17 to 11 in. favor of Newberg. Some interesting pool and billiard game» were also played. Some ex hibition pool and billiard stunts were given for the entertainment of the Newberg club members. At the close of the checker games refresh ments were served. The Newberg trio sang a final parody at the close of the evening’s fun to the tune of "Liza Jane” which went something like this: “ Oh, it’s our town, your town and mine, etc.” Newberg com mercial club are planning a return social affair for Dayton some time in the near future. STORM DOES MUCH DAMAGE OVER THE ENTIRE NORTHWEST BOYS THROW ROCK THROUGH WINDSHIELD M’MINNYILLE BOY GETS U P CUT Five Newberg Boy* Plead Guilty and Are Fined $15 Each by -City Recorder Wednesday A most regrettable occurrence hap pened on the streets of Newberg on Tuesday night when a group of five boys from McMinnville invaded the city with slips of paper on which ap peared the words, "W allop New berg.” Some of the local boys took umbrage at the action of the Mac boys and proceeded to "get them.” In the first place it is said that they warned the McMinnville boys to get dut of town. Then someone let the wind out of their tires. Night Mar shal Wallace appeared about this time and interfered with any further altercations. He ushered the Mc Minnville boys over to the Calkins garage where they refilled their tires and then advised them to leave town immediately. They started o ff down First street and‘ when they got a short distaiice west of Main street a crash was heard and some yelling. In a short time the boys came back up the street and the boy» Jumped out and filed a complaint with the city marshal, as someone had thrown a stone or brick or something through the windshield breaking it and cutting one of the boys’ lip. Dirt and eggs had also been thrown and some of the dirt had lodged in this same boy's eye and for a time it was feared that he had some glass In it. Night officer Wallace took down the names of the seven boys who were collected on the spot in front of the McCoy garage and ordered them to appear Before the city re corder on Wednesday morning* This they did and all but two pleaded guilty and were fined $15 eacn. The other two “ boys pleaded not guilty saying that they were not taking any part in the affair but were sim ply Innocent bystanders. Friday was set as the date for hearing their trials. There has been altogether tbo much feeling between Newberg and McMinnville and while we believe that the Mac boys showed poor Judg ment in coming to Newberg Just be fore a high school football game with such propaganda, nevertheless they were strictly within their rights and such acts of vandalism as the local boys perpetrated are not to be con doned in any sense. Newberg peo ple do not share In such deeds and have no sympathy for the culprits. The Graphic withholds the names of these bovR who stood trial simply because we saw some of the trans action and do not believe that they were the guilty ones who threw the object which did the damage. Five other boys were implicated and these five have entirely escaped. There is no doubt In our mind that the really guilty boy was one of these five. The storm which hit this section of the country last Saturday was general all over the northwest and did great damage everywhere. At The Dalle« they -had 35 Inches of snow and between The Dalles and Portland many of the overland trains were tied up by the snow. Many autos were caught on the Columbia river highway and had to be left in snow drifts while their drivers made their way as best they could to the railroad where they tried to flag a train. Some severe experi ences were experienced. The Willamette river has been coming up at an unprecedented rate and rose 18 feet at this place in one day. Small driftwood almost imme diately began making its appearance and by Monday night the logs and trees were coming down. At noon Monday the water had overflowed the lower banks near the boat land ing and was still raising. The highways over the state were inundated in many places and all lowlands*everywhere were filling up with the surplus water which fell so heavily Sunday and Sunday night.
