on the store can be made, or we can
cart the pianos around from place to

two men who were detected preparing to
dynamite the safe of the Bank of Wal

attention to the watehman's alarm. The
robbers had broken the lock from the safe
when their work was interrupted.

Receives Important Appointment.

&c. N. Macarthur, Speaker of the
House at the recent legislature ses-
sion, will be private secretary to Sec
retary of State Benson when the latter
becomes Governor few days hence.
Mr.. Macarthur was born and was, for
several years, a resident in Polk
county. He has since went to Port
land and practiced law in the office of
Snow q McCamant for some time.
Recently he opened an office alone.
He was acting chairman of the Re-
publican State Central Com mittee in
the last National campaign. The offer
of appointment was made few days
ago and was accepted today. The
salary of the office is $25OO a year. The
appointment Of Macarthur raises a
number Of questions in case a special
session should be called by Benson
after ne becomes Governor. If the
session should be called soon, it is
probable Macarthur would not assume
the office Of private secretary until
after the session, for he would have to
resign his legislative office to accept
that Of private secretary. If the ses-
sion should be called later it would be
necessary to elect new Speaker.

United States Attorney McCourt, in
asking for mild sentence in behalf
of Wood, explained to the court that
he had been instrumental in furnish
ing the Government with valuable in
formation relative to other violations
of the Federal statutes on the reserva-
tion, hence was entitled to some lem
iency.

ARE TWICE VICTORIOUS
Oregons Recover Prestige In Utah In
Two Hard Games Against Strong
Teams.

Since Monday nights reversal of
fortune in Provo, where the Oregons
were defeated in playing off tie, by
a final score of 26 to "a, they have re-
covered their prestige in the state Of
Utah and have added two more vic
tories to their long list.
Tuesday night they defeated Logan
by score of 25 to % and on Wednes-
day night the State University Of Utah
lost to them by a score of 35 to "a. The
telegram containing the report of the
two games, which was received We'd
nesday night, gave also the following
schedule of advance games: Thurs
day, Santa Cruz; Wednesday, (next
week., Watsonville; Thursday, San
Jose; and Saturday in Frisco. The
jump from Utah to Santa Cruz will be
one Of the longest taken during the
trip.
Walter E. Critchlow, the advance
man for the team, was in Albany,
" "OuhOodoJ5 SOLhlbe5 uP W WV NoiAAo
on the same day. He endeavored to
arrange game with the team OF the
Oregon Agricultural College, but was
unable to do so, owing to the unrea-
sonable demands made by the man
ager of the Corvallis team.
The only proposition they would
offer was him to play under the inter-
collegiate rules with Corvallis men
acting as officials. This wonld put
the Oregons at an almost insuperable
disadvantage. Mr.. Critchlow tele-
phoued to the supporters of the team
in Dallas yesterday morning asking
their opinion and received prompt in
structions not to consider the propos-
ition. IT is probable that the Oregons
will cut Corvallis entirely out of their
future schedules.
Mr.. Critchlow came on to Dallas
yesterday afternoon and will remain
in this city for few weeks, visiting
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. d. A.
Critchlow.
