FINE FEBRUARY WEATHER
Thermometer Registered Seventy
Degrees In the Shade Last
Friday Afternoon.

The memory of the oldest inhabitant
does not recall finer winter weather
than that which the people of Western
Oregon have been enjoying for the
past week. Last Friday was the
warmest day of the year so far the
thermometer registering 20 in the
shade. The temperature since that
time has ranged from 65 to SO. The
buds on the fruit trees are swelling,
grass is making a rapid growth,
flowers are blooming in the door
yards, and the lawns are as green as
in midsummer. The unusually warm
weather is attributed to the lack Of
snow on the SUBMITS OF the Cascade
and Coast mountains, and an early
Spring is predicted by all weather
prophets.
Fall-sown wheat is making an un-
paralleled growth, and the ground is
in ideal condition for Spring seeding.
Early prospects point to bumper
grain crop in the Willamette Valley
this year.

his fellowmen, and was respected by
all who knew him. He was one Of the
sturdy pioneers who did his part in
making Oregon the grand state it is
today. His visits to Dallas after he
moved to Eastern Oregon were always
looked forward to with pleasure by
his old-time neighbors and friends,
and the news of his death causes a
tear to glisten in the eye Of the old
people who knew him and honored
him in his lifetime.

Speaking Of the basketball game to
be played in Corvallis tonight, the
Corvallis Times says "It is three
years since 0. A. G. defeated Dallas
College at mems basket ball. Dallas
has walloped the local team five times
since o. A. G. took a trick. Two of
these Dallas victories have been on
the local field, which is all the more
surprising. Two or three weeks ago
the Dallas boys licked the o. A. G.
team at Dallas 25 to l6. Friday night
the two teams are to meet in the
0. A. @. armory, and it is being
wondered about the college and else
where, how the game will end, any
way. Will the orange skin-or get
skinned, as usual"
