SMITH SUES SENATOR FULTON
Ex-Warden of Penitentiary Asks $4,000
Damages For Alleged Defamation
of Character.

Papers were flied Saturday in a
slande suit in which J. s. Smith,
ex-warden Of the penitentiary brings
suit against Senator Fulton for SIS, 600
damages. The suit grows out of the
campaign statement made by the
Senator in answer to Heney The
papers were served on Senator Fulton
at the close Of his speech in Salem
Saturday night.
Smith is che man who made affidavit
that Senator Fulton participated in
the negotiations which ended in Smith
receiving $500 from Senator Mitchell
during the holdup session of the
Legislature In 1897. Fulton has
repeatedly denied that he had any,
thing to do with that transaction and
in his speech he declared that the
Smith affidavit was false in this
particular. This assertion on Fulton 8
part is made the basis of Smiths suit,
the latter alleging that Fulton has
accused him Of perjury, thus injuring
his reputation.
Senator Fulton treats the whole
matter as a huge joke, and says
Smiths suit is a scheme of his political
enemies to weaken his chances for the
nomination for Senator.

BUILDING NEARS COMPLETION
Dallas Soda and Bottling Works Will
Be in Operation Within One
Month.

Gideon Stolz, of Salem, was In Dal-
las, Friday, inspecting the building
which is being erected at the west end
of Court Street, for the installing of a
bottling factory.
The work is progressing very rap
idly, and Mr.. Stolz says he believes
that he will have all his machinery
installed and the factory In. operation
within month. He says that it could
be started sooner, we're it not for the
fact that the working floor Of the fac
tory is to be made OF concrete and can
hardly be prepared for the installing
Of the machinery in a shorter time.
The Dallas Bottling Works will
deal only with soda water at first, but
later it will branch out into the manu-
facture of vinegar, and the bottling of
elders and fruit juices, in which busi-
ness Mr.. Stolz has attained wide and
favorable reputation.

DALLAS DEFEATS SNOHOMISH
Wins First of Series of Coast
Championship Games by
Decisive Score.

The victorious basketball boys OF
Dallas College arrived in this city
Saturday morning returning from a
successful visit to Snohomish, Wash
ington. Their progress from the
depot up to Main street was after the
fashion of triumphal march, and
nearly all Of the more ardently
enthusiastic basketball fans were on
hand to welcome the boys home and
play the famous game over again
with them.
All Of the boys on the team say that
they played one of the best games that
they have put up this winter. They
piled up good lead within the first
five minutes OF the play, and from
that time forged steadily away from
their astonished opponents, and at the
end Of 40 minutes, the team that had
issued "a sweeping challenge to the
world, Dallas, Oregon, preferred, 4"
found itself completely overwhelmed
by the enormous score OF Al to IA. On
the Dallas side six goals were thrown
by each Of the forwards, seven by
Shaw, the center, and one by Savery.
Only one point was scored out of a
possible three, on fouls. Claud Shaw,
although only recently recovered from
the mumps, played throughout the
entire game.
Both the Snohomish team and its
supporters proved to be thorough
sportstnen, and the visiting team was
shown every courtesy during its stay
in that city.
When he arrived in Dallas, Manager
Kersey received telegram from Sno-
homish, saying that the team was
sick and would be unable to fill the
date for the return game on Wednes-
day. This was followed by another
message saying that they would come,
and the second game of the champion
ship series will be played in the
college gymnasium tomorrow night.

the Usefulness of Dallas
College.

| Inc IWelftn Annual session OF t0e
Oregon Conference of the United
Evangelical Church was brought to a
close on Sunday night, after most
successful week of work.
Reports from various fields showed
that great progress had been made In
all lines during the past year. A
number of new churches and par
sonages are to be built during the
coming year, the most important of
which is the First Church of Portland,
where the Rev. A. A. Winter, formerly
of this city. is serving as pastor. The
Rev. M. J. Ballantyne was reelected
presiding elder, and stationed 10 the
Portland district, and the Rev. FL. L.
Pratt was stationed in the Dallas
district
On Sunday morning, Bishop Hartz-
ler, assisted by the Rev. II. L. Pratt,
the Rev. M. J. Ballantyne, the Rev.
Joseph Hoberg. and the Rev. E. E.
McVicker conducted ordination SER
vices, and at 8 o'clock in the afternoon
he delivered a missionary address.
At the latter service $3.50 was sub
scribed for home missions. The total
amount of the money appropriated by
the conference to carry on the mis-
sionary work in Oregon and Wash
ington was $4,000.
In the evening, the pulpits of the
various churches were filled by the
visiting pastors, the Rev. Fl. A. Deck,
of Salem, preaching at the Evangelical
Church, the Rev. E. e. McVicker ct
the Methodist Church, the Rev. w.

will be Of great Importance to Dallas
College. The Evangelical Association

executive committee of the college, in
accordance with a number Of resolu-
tions sent up by the Ministerial Union
OF the Evangelical Churches Of Port
land, looking forward to the organic
