OREGON LEAGUE MEETS
Representatives From Different Clubs
Make Plans For Coming
Basketball Season.

Frank E. Kersey, president Of the
Oregon Basketball League, held the
annual business meeting OF the league
at the parlor of the Gail Hotel, Satur-
day afternoon. AS there had been
some delay in notifying the members
of the various clubs in the league,
only four associations were repre-
sented and the election of officers and
the preparation Of the league schedule
for the coming season, was deferred
until the next meeting which has been
set for Saturday, October 81 at II
O'Clock a. m. and will be held in the
Y. NJ. G. A. hall in Salem.
Last Saturdays meeting was con-
sumed in general discussion Of the
subject Of the eligibility of certain
institutions now outside the League,
to membership in it, and debate on
the financial side Of the business of
the organization.
1t is probable that Corvallis and
McMinnville will enter the league this
year, thus bringing practically all Of
the strong basketball clubs and col
leges into the organization and assur-
ing an interesting season and a long
schedule of games.
The delegates to the recent meeting
are optimistic and while during the
two years Of its existence, the Oregon
Basketball League has come to the
front in the field of athletic work to a
remarkable degree, the members be-
lieve that this is little more than the
beginning and that few years more
will see basketball ranking close
alongside baseball and football in
popularity with the lovers of good
sport in Oregon.
The delegates present we're: Fl. H..
Wright, of Pacific College; James
McCord, of the Multnomah Athletic
Club; r. r. VanOrsdel, of Dallas Col
lege, and A. M. Guilley, of the Port

Special features Of all kinds will be

loqulal expression has it, something

The admission fee will be 25 cents
straight and, for maskers, will include
the use of the floor throughout the

The prizes offered in cash and in
skating tickets will aggregate $25 and
the length Of the list of awards offers
an almost inexhaustible field in which
the maskers may exercise their
ingenuity.
The full list Of awards is as follows
Ladies-best fancy costume, best ad-
vertising costume, best skater, best
sustained character; Gentlemen-best
fancy costume, best advertising cos
tune, best character to represent one
of the presidential candidates, best

ROAD WORK NEARLY DONE
u;obways of Polk County Have Been
Extensively Improved in Three
Districts,

Work was begun yesterday morning
an the building back Of the county
mil where the county road roller,
scrapers and other road building
machinery are to be stored during the
coming winter. If the present period
of fair weather continues, the work on
the roads near the Guthrie place will
he completed by the end Of the present
week and as this is the last stretch OF
road on which the County Com
missioners had planned to have i'm
proyement work done this summer,
thew will endeavor to have the new
store house completed by that time, so
that the machinery can be brought
down and put in shelter as soon as the
seasons work is ended.
Since the purchase of the rock
crusher and road roller in June, they
have been kept in operation almost
continuously on the county roads and
AZ a result, several notoriously bad
strips Of the public thoroughfare in
the vicinity Of Ballston, Luckiamute,
Falls City and Bridgeport, have been
placed in excellent condition for the
winter traffic.
During the summers work, the
crusher has been moved three times
first to the Salt Creek quarry, then to
the Burns quarry near Luckiamute,
and lastly to the quarry on the War
rem Frink place, where it is now in
operation.
Although the rock from the Salt
Creek quarry is perhaps trifle better
for road building purposes than that
which has been secured from the other
quarries, il was found impractlcable
to use it outside of the district immed-
lately about the quarry, on account of
the extra expense OF hauling. The
rock from the other two quarries has
however, proved thus far to be highly
satisfactory.

DISCUSS SMELTER PROJECT
Paul E. Gadsden COnfers With Dallas
Stockholders in Freeland Mine
on Development Plans.

Paul E. Gadsden, of Portland, and
James Ireland, of Salem, were in Dal-
las yesterday in the interest OF the big
smelter that is to be erected in the
Freeland mining district in Marion
county next spring. Mr.. Gadsden
represents the Wilson -Gadsden Com
pany, which is to build the smelter,
and Mr.. Ireland represents the Free
land Mining Company.
About twenty of the citizens Of
Dallas who are stockholders in the
Freeland project, assembled at the
Courthouse last night and were
addressed by Mr.. Gadsden, who ex-
planned fully the plans Of his COM
pany, its reasons for deciding to erect
smelter at that place, and what he
honestly conceived to be the outlook
for the enterprise.
The Wilson Gadsden Company, he
explained, had examined the ores OF
all Of the important mines in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho with a view to
installing smelters and, as yet, the
mining district in which the Gold
Greek, Freeland and Electric mines
are grouped, is the first it has found
in which the erection OF a smelter
would be practicable for them. The
facilities for securing water power at
minimum cost are excellent. The ore
Of this district combines iron, silica
and lime in the proper quantities to
make smelling possible without the
heavy expenses of hauling any OF
these essentials from a distance and
the main question will therefore be
one of fuel.
The County Court of Marion county
after sending committee to investt-
gate the prospects, made an appropri-
alton for the building of a county
road in TO the mines and this road has
already been pu2 ned forward to a
point within two and one-half miles
| VI ulluOSs AS Lulo lObu Obh w Vi
no immediate value except in the
development Of the mines, the action
of the county court in making this
appropriation shows that it has conf
dence in the success Of the project and
is anxious that the country surround
ing that locality should reap the bene-
fits that will be forthcoming upon the
beginning of active operations in the
mines.
The proposed smelter will require 6
steady supply of 100 tons of ore day
running 1872 to the ton and more
According to the preliminary assays
made by his company before it was
decided to erect the smelter, Mr.. Gads
den says that the ore from the Free
land mine will easily run from $2S tc
1886 a ton. The roads in to the mines
will be completed within short time
and the smelter company expects tc
begin the erection Of its plant abou
the first of next April.
Mr.. Gadsden went to Salem this
morning, but Mr.. Ireland will continue
in Dallas few days, working in thu
interest Of the development project.

MEETING WAS ENTHUSIASTIC
Large Crowd Attends Republican
Speaking at Courthouse, Satur-
day Evening.

The Republican speaking in Dallas,
Saturday night, was the biggest thing
both in attendance and in the enthus-
iasm shown that has been held in this
city during the present campaign.
The Courthouse was crowded and
Hon. r. r. Butler, of Condor, the first
speaker of the evening was met with a
hearty round of applause when intro
duced by County Chairman B. II.
McCallon. Mr.. Butler pointed out the
essential lines OF difference between
the platform of the two leading parties,
showed the folly Of those who endeav-
ored to claim that the issue Of the
present campaign was one OF men
and not of principles, and declared
that even II it were such, the Republi-
can leader was a man of at least as
great ability and by far greater exper-
ience than the man on whom the Dem
ocrats have pinned their hopes.
Mr.. Butler was followed by Judge
Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton, in a
short, logical and convincing speech,
mainly attacking the anti-injunction
plank in the Democratic platform.
He showed that conspiracy between
the trusts and the labor unions existed
for the purpose of overUhrowing the
Sherman Antitrust law, which is the
most valuable law on our statutes to
curb predatory interests whether In
the ranks of capital or labor. There
fore these big interests have combined
for its overthrow and are supporting
Mr.. Bryan for president for that rea-
son.
Judge Lowell declared that If Mr..
Bryan was not aware Of this con-
spiracy against the best interests Of
the American people he lacked the
intelligence to serve the people compe-
tently as president. Also if he was
aware of it's existence and was still
willing to accept the support of those
interests, he thereby showed himself a
man unworthy of the public trust and
incapable of honestly serving the
people in the capacity Of president.
Clear and convincing, every point
we'll taken and backed by strong
proofs, Judge Lowell's address was
one of the most powerful features OF
the evening and he was greeted when
he closed with a storm of applause
from his audience.
