DALLAS VICTORIOUS
Basketball Skating Team Defeats
Newberg by a Score of
% to s.

The Dallas Skating Team defeated
the five from Newberg in a game Of
basketball, Wednesday night, the
score being 2s to 8 in their favor. This
was the first match game of basketball
on rollers that had been played in Dal-
las, and the galleries were all crowded
with people, eager to watch the new
sport, and to see how it compared with
the more common form of basketball
with which all were familiar.
Dallas established long lead with
in the first three minutes of play and
from that time there was no doubt that
the home team would be victorious.
Quicker, cooler headed and more sure
footed than their opponents, they kept
the ball within their own territory the
greater part of the time, and threw
goals at will. Elder starred for Dal-
las with score of field goals and
two goals on fouls, Morton threw four
field goals, Brown, three and Simon
ton one on a foul. Magers played
back, and although he had little oppor-
tunity to throw for goals, proved to be
an excellent guard. The goals for the
visiting team were thrown by Higgins,
the center, and Young.
After the game was finished, a
merry crowd from the galleries
thronged the floor for skating ses-
sion. George Brown, floor manager,
entertained the visitors with some of
his trick skating and fancy dancing
during this session.

TH7 p wish you a
Happy and Pros
porous New Year, and
take this occasion to
thank you for the gen
erous help you have
given us that has en-
abled us to build our
business to what it is.
On November, Z 1903,
we began the Hardware
business with a total
stock of $4,000 occupying
a floor space of 1000
square feet.
In January, 1905, we
added the plumbing and
timing department to
orr hardware business,
and on January l, 1906,
added another depart
ment, that of furniture,
by the purchase of the
Kerslake stock. This
needing more floor space
we leased the entire
Kirkpatrick building,
which we now occupy
with the addition of a
large warehouse for each
department..
We now have a total
floor space Of over 5000
square feet, over 9 times
the space we had in the
beginning. We n ow
employ regularly ten
people to look after this
business; five times as
many as we had in the
beginning, and we are
now doing more than
ten times the business
we did in 1904. and be-
lieve that in 1908 we
will do Is times as much
as we did in 1904.
You, our customers
have made our increased
stock possible, for which
wes thank you, a n d
promise in the year 1908, |
if we have your custom
it will be taken care of |
in the same way that it
was in 1907.
Yours for a more pros
porous 1908.

complete in every detail. Nothing
was overlooked or left 'undone to
make the farewell of the popular
steam shovel man an occasion that
he could always revert to in his
memory as one of the most pleasant
incidents in his life. The esteem and
respect that he had earned by his
manly treatment of those who were
in subordinate positions was shown
at the close of the banquet. when
