There appears to be no such thing
as weight limit in basketball and the
OBSERVER is thinking seriously of get
ting up team to go against all the
heavy weight aggregations that visit
Dallas in the future. Some of the
following-named gentlemen have
already agreed to play, and those who
refuse will be drafted" into the SER
vice. The personnel of the proposed
teams is as follows: Guards, j. M.

center, Bill Williams, of Airlie for
wards, John Teal, of Falls City, and
Bud Frazer, Of Mccoy. bud, being
something less than seven feet tall,
has been chosen as the man to drop
the ball into the basket. The substi-
stitutes will be DR.. o. d. Butler, of
Independence; e. w. Fuller, Jim
Hayes and H. L. Fenton, of Dallas !;
Hon. Ike" Simpson, Of Suver !;
Ezra Conner, of Ballston, and Jay
Butler, Of Monmouth. How is that
for avoirdupois? Some one has asked
us who will act as referee: We in
tend to officiate in that capacity, our
self. Then if we can't lick any collec-
ton Of heavy-weights that comes along
with this team, we will drop basket
ball as sport and studiously devote
the remainder of our days to ping
pong and finch.

SEWERAGE SYSTEM NEXT
Dallas City Council Preparing to Be-
gin Another Important Public
Improvement.

If the present plans of the city
council are carried out, Dallas will
have good system of sewerage in
operation in the business district with
in the next few months. The board
held special meeting Monday eve
ming and discussed the proposed i'm
provement in a general way, and it
was decided to proceed with the work
as soon as necessary plans and speci-
fications for practicable system are
decided upon.
The first move will be to sewer the
business portion of the city only, and
no steps will be taken toward extend
ing the system to the residence district
until property owners petition for the
proposed Improvement. When the
business houses and residences in all
the blocks on each side of Main street
from the public school building to
Academy street are provided with
sewerage, a long step will have been
taken toward making Dallas a clean
town. The system now under con-
sideration by the council would con-
sist of two main sewers, one on Wash
ington street and one on OAK street.
with laterals on Railroad, Main and
Jefferson streets; the cost of the mains
to be paid out of the general fund of
the city, and the expense Of putting in
the laterals to be assessed to the
property directly benefited. No plans
have been definitely decided upon as
yet, however, and no further action
will be taken by the council until an
examination of sewer systems in other
towns in Western Oregon has been
made with view of determining the
kind of system most suitable for
Dallas.
At the meeting Monday evening,
Councilman A. B. Muir was instructed
to go to Corvallis early next week and
look over the system in use by that
city. Corvallis has been putting in
sewerage for the last three or four
years, and the system is said to be
highly practicable for cities of the
smaller class.
Dallas is splendidly situated for
putting in sewerage at low cost,
the natural drainage of the town be-
ing unsurpassed. At no point will it
be necessary to lay the pipe at a great
depth, and, as a survey Of the street
grades has already been made, no
high-salaried civil engineer will be
needed to superintend the work Of
putting in the mains and laterals.
The business men of the city are all
earnest in their demand for sewerage,
and will aid the council in the effort
to make Dallas a clean and attractive
town. No one will be seriously
burdened by the cost Of the improve
ment, and the benefits that will be
derived are beyond power to estimate.

EXERCISES AT MONMOUTH
Midyear commencement of State
Normal School Attracts Large
Crowds.

The annual reception by the junior
class at the State Normal was given
Saturday evening. The large assem-
bly-room was decorated with wreaths
of Oregon grape and evergreen en-
twined with the class colors. In the
center of the room was suspended a
large 'O5 in evergreens and just be-
meath this were the same figures in
Chinese lanterns. Scattered among
the decorations were interspersed
Chinese lanterns, giving very pleas
ing effect
The whole effect of the work was
among the best ever seen at the
Normal. A literary and musical pro-
gramme was rendered and a moving
picture, in which William Metzger
represented Father Time, Miss Ger
trude Eddy, Spring, Miss Candace
Brown, Summer, Miss Jennie Neal,
Autumn, and Miss Esther Anderson,
Winter. The separate characters in
the play appeared from a bower of
evergreen rendered the part belonging
to their special season and disappeared
in a grove of frs. The programme
was enjoyed by the large audience
and the evening closed with a grand
leap-year march. The music was
furnished by the orchestra under the
supervision of Frank Lucas.

livered Sunday at II a. m. by Rev. DR..

Charles Baker sold the Cottage
Hotel in Dallas to w. G. Brown this
week for $95OO. The new owner has
leased the building and furniture to

the travelling public, and is said to be
a paying investment Mr.. Holman,
the new manager, is an enterprising
and obliging business man, and will
doubtless enjoy good patronage.
Mr. Baker will go East and resume
his old position as wheat inspector for

Shall See Him as He Is" The central
thought advanced by the speaker was
the necessity for pure ideal, and a
purpose in following this ideal, and a
cheerfulness Of life coming from an
optimistic view of ones conditions and
surroundings, holding that this is a
strong factor in life.
The sermon was masterful pre-
sentation of the life of Christ as an
ideal for the teacher. 1t was well re-
ceived by large audience.
Monday evening the class held
class-day exercises. Miss Bertha P.
White gave the opening address,
followed by the class poem by Miss
Jenson. Miss May Shofner delivered

CHARGES ARE REFUTED
Dallas Salem Basket-Ba Game Was
Postponed On Account of
Illness of Players.

The following letter to the sporting
editor of the Evening Telegram re-
garding the basketball situation be-
tween Dallas and Willamette Univer-
sity of Salem, explains itself:
Dallas, Or, Feb. 3-This evenings
paper brings an article from Salem
concerning the calling off of the
basketball game between Dallas
College and Willamette University
1t misrepresents the Dallas team and
the facts in the case. Neither the first
game nor this game was called off for
the purpose Of more practice-not in
the least because Of the illness Of
several of the players, and the trip to
be made in private conveyance in such
conditions was not considered adj
visable. In fact the president of
Dallas College refused to make this
trip in their present condition. The
manager Of the Dallas College team
telephoned Manager Winslow of the
Willamette team that the cause of de-
ferring the game was as above stated,
and not to give the team more practice
The game was only postponed for the
time being, and not permanently, as
stated by the Salem correspondent
The lads from w. U. will have plenty
of chances to test their skill with the
lads in crimson before the season is
over.
Dallas has not been blowing con-
cerning the championship, but justly
claims it, and will prove thatthey are
worthy to claim such an honor.

WILL HAVE NONE OF IT
Business Men Do Not Favor Vertical
Handwriting Taught in the
Public Schools.

There probably never. was an inno-
vation in educational methods 50
readily and widely accepted as that of
vertical writing. Before most people
had even heard that such system
was proposed, the change was in fact
practically accomplished in almost all
the schools of the United States and
Canada. And it is not lovable style
of penmanship. 1t has d discouraging
sameness whether penned by child or
youth, girl or boy. Doubtless it is
easy to teach, which may account for
its ready acceptance BY teachers but
it destroys to a large extent the in
dividuality of handwriting. The
following remarks in this connection
are from the Boise Siabslaan:
The vertical system AennAenship
is now undergoing cii investiga-
ton in Salt Lake schools This lis in
response to objections to the system
raised by number Of business men
who are very pronounced against it.
Superintendent Christensen has de-
termined to try semi-vertical system
in two Of the public schools as an ex-
pertinent The objections are that the
letters are too large, that there is not
enough individuality in the various
hands, and that there is not sufficient
freedom of movement for speed. The
system has been abandoned in the
public schools of Los Angeles and is
undergoing investigation in other
leading cities of the coast. The system
produces a crop of plain writer's, but
the old-timers naturally prefer the
system, both for speed and

The "Happy Hooligan" show met a
chilly reception in Dallas last Friday
evening. Only few seats were sold
for the performance, and the audience
was made up mostly of small boys.
The comedy was Of the rough-house,
slap-stick sort, and the scenery was
old and dilapidated. Judging from
the looks Of the players when they
pulled out for Independence on the
noon train Sunday, the trip to Dallas
was anything but a financial success.
Happy" looked decidedly unhappy,
and GLOOMY Gus" was gloomier than
