Rack From Illinois.

Cass Riggs, of Crowley, was in Dal-
las on a business visit and greeting
his many friends Saturday. Mr.. RIGGS
only recently returned home from Ill
inois where, in company with his
brother Seth and sister Miss Emma,
he attended the sixtieth wedding an
niversary of an uncle and aunt He
saws he greatly enjoyed his visit, but
that the people of his old home state
are welcome to all they have as FAR as
he is concerned. The weather was
bitterly cold during his entire stay
and he declares he never saw the
ground from the time he left Portland
until the day he got back. Mr. Riggs
saws, however, that the farmers OF
Illinois are prosperous. Through rota-
ton of crops and careful cultivation
they are restoring the old farms tc
great fertility and yield of from 81
to 60 bushels of grain to the acre II
not uncommon.

DALLAS SEES COMET
Takes No Stock in Claim That 1t was
Evening Star.

The widely advertised comet made
its appearance just above the western
horizon phomptly on schedule ume
last Friday evening and hundreds OF
Dallas people were out to get
glimpse of the strange V1sltor' AS
darkness came on, the brilliant tail
lighted up the heavens and proved
spectacle well worth witnessing. Later
in the evening the head came into
plain view. News of the appearance OF
the expected visitor was quickly Wlreo
from house to house and soon every
available telescope and field glass
was brought into use. The comet was
so brilliant and so easily seen by the
naked eve that the use of a glass
added little to the enjoyment OF the
view. The celestial visitor remained In
sight for over two hours, and II was
NOT until after eight o'clock that IL
finally disappeared beneath the hori-
zon.
And now, just as we are enjoying
ourselves and congratulating eaeh
other on the fact that 1--WE saw 1t,
what do the 'long haired" and the
.high foreheads" do but appear on the
scene to tell us that what we saw was
not a comet at all. They say 1t was
Venus. But we know better. Reckon
we know a comet when we see one
Venus? Aw, your granny's nighteap
Yew git out! This was comet we tel
you. We don't know whether it wai
Comet Also. or Comet A. No. l. ol
| Comet 4-11-44-but it was a comet
lust the same. Venus? What yer givin

Dallas College Basketball Players
Return Home.

The Dallas basketball team went
down to defeat before the Corvailis
club in Corvallis by score OF 80 70
22. The defeat of the home team can
simply be ascribed to hard luck At
the end Of the first half, the score
stood IA to in favor of Dallas, and
good lead was maintained until the
last five minutes of the play, when
Swami got busy and began throwing
baskets in manner too rapid LOT
even the live Dallas boys to overcome.
When the final whistle blew, CorVailis
was eight points ahead. The Dallas
team is greatly pleased with the KIND
ly and courteous treatment accordeo
them by the members of the oppos-
ing team and the people of Corvallis.
The game at Philomath, Manager
Fenton informs the Observer, was one
Of the best that has been played in
Oregon this year. The teams were well
matched and the score was in DOUBT
until the last 10 minutes OF the play,
The final score was 46 to 80 in FAVOR
of Dallas. A large crowd witnessed
this contest.
Dallas went to Salem, Saturday
night, and defeated the Capital Busi-
ness College, by a score of II to Il.
The game which was to have been
played with Whitman in Dallas mas
been called off, the Washington man
ager having notified the Dallas boys
that his team would play no more
games in oregon this year.
The next game on the Dallas moor
will be played on Thursday evening
Of this week, when Philomath and
Ashland will contest for supremacy
The Ashland team is coached by Ned
Shaw, who also plays center. This is
Ashlands first year, but so far not a
game has been lost, and they DO say
that "Old Tebeau' hugs the notion
that his team is invincible. The ASH
| land five is made up of the lafges'
PLAYERS in oregon. Two of the men
stand feet 21a inches in their stock
ing feet, and every man on the team
is able to stand on the floor and reacf
the basket. Just what will happen tt
the swift Philomath team when i
meets this aggregation of giants re-
mains to be seen, and present indlca
tions are that standing room Will %

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Portland Capitalists Buy Large Tracts
Near Dallas.

Can anyone tell the meaning of all
this real estate activity in the Guthrie
neighborhood south of Dallas? Port
land capitalists have been buying land
there In large tracts in the last few
weeks, and are trying to buy more
Recent sales reported are those OF
the ellison farm, the David Guthrie
ranch, and the Mosier and Grazier
farms-comprising in all Of about 1900
acres. 1t will take about $4,000 to
close this deal.
1t is reported that other parties
have been securing paid options on
numerous tracts of lands in the Oak
dale district, including the Ben
Thompson, Cephas Nelson and James
Murphy farms Rumor has it that the
man securing these options gives out
the information that it is his purpose
to establish a large horse ranch, but
as to this sbeing his real object, the
wise ones" have their doubts. One
thing is certain, the demand for land
around Dallas and Falls City is great
er than ever before, and it is believed
that the present activity means big
things for the two towns in the near
future.

FOR BETTER SPELLING
Tbirty-Eight Rural Schools Take
Part in First Contest.

Owing to delay on the part OF
some Of the teachers in sending IN
their reports of the Rural Scnooi
smelling contests, held January IA, IT
has been impossible to ascertain the
results in the several districts until
the present time. The winers have
been found to be as follows:
Z Fourth Grade--Concord, 100 per
cent first; Etna, 99.5 per cent, second;
Mistletoe; 81 per cent, third.
Fifth Grade-Parker, 100 per cent
first; Mistletoe, 9s per cent, second;
Concord, 97.5 per cent, third
sixth Grade-Eola and Parker (tie)
100 per cent, first; Etna 99 2-3 per
cent. second; Spring Valley, 80 per
cent, third.
Seventh Grade-Highland, 81 per
cent. first; Concord, 92 per cent, sec
ond: Gooseneck, so per cent, third.
Eighth Grade-Parker, Mistletoe
and Etna (tie) 100 per cent, first;
Butler, 9s per cent second; Eola, 80
per cent, third.
Thirty-eight of the So rural schools
in the county took part in the work.
Every school in the county shouid
have taken part, as the spelling In all
schools must be improved ana TINS Is
one of the best possible ways to cause
the Children to take an interest IN tne
work. All teachers who have taken up
the work report that the children are
taking much more interest in the
study of spelling since these contests
were begun and that all are improving
in their spelling.
The next test will be given February
18. 1t is hoped every school will take
part in this contest. Each OF the WIN
ming schools will be sent small nag
which they will be permitted to Keep
until the reports from the next con-
test have been sent in. In the event
that the same school should win Twice
in succession it will be given the hae
permanently.
Teachers, parents and children, II
we all get together in this work, we
can soon show such Improvement tha
the children will not have any cause
to be ashamed of their spelling ano
the business men will no longer nave
reason to complain of the boys ane
girls who enter their employ. They are
dissatisfied at the present time, ant
they have just right to complain. W.
must improve this line of school work

George E. Lincoln. state game

500. 600 fund raised BY the state hunt-
ers' license law will be spent for the.
propagation Of fsh and game in Iowa
and not one cent will be expended for
any other purpose"
'..The money will not be spent for

on any othar Of the various plans
which have been a~dvanced.' he az
serted.
Nj. Lincoln has Just returned to
Iowa.from the national convention Of
fish and game commissioners, held
In New Orleans. He asserts that
the knowledge gained there has proved
to him that the idea Of establishing
and maintaining large game farms is
unwise and . failure Hence he will
adopt the plan Of putting game birds
out all over the state with responsi-
BILE men who will raise birds and re-
lease them. Hungarian partridges
and ringnecked %pheassnts are the only
birds that can be raised here, the
warden says.' and these will be placed
in this method.
