sufferings increased. For the last four
months she had been confined to her
bed. and during the last 26 days of her
| life she was unable to accept food.
Throughout all her sickness she was
very patient and met her fate uncom-
plainingly and heroically. The espe-
cial sadness of her case attracted to
her the sympathy. not only of friends.
but Of many strangers. who almost
daily solicitously inquired as to her
condition.
Mrs. Plaster's maiden name was
Zook. and she was born in Nemaha
County. Nebraska, March 1, 1862, and
was married to Mr.. Plaster in Nemaha
City. March /. 1882. She came with
her husband to Oregon 10 years ago,
first settling in Washington County.
and later removing to Dallas eight
years ago. Since then she had lived
on their farm near Dallas. She be-
came a member Of the Christian
Church at the age Of IS years. and was
a devout and very regular attendant
Of that church up to the time Of her
sickness.
Besides her husband. she leaves
three sons: DeIbert Lloyd and Louis.
and a daughter. Coda. all OF whom
reside here.

ALL NEGATIVE TEAMS WIN
Champions of Single Tax Meet Defeat
i'm Every Contest.

The negative debating team of the
Dallas High School won a complete
decision in its contest with the Mon
mouth affirmative team, at Dallas Col
lege Chapel, Saturday evening, Janu-
ary 2S. The subject of debate was
Resolved, That the single tax should
be adopted" The team was composed
of Roberta Ballard, Anne Garner, and
Harold Miller. The judges chosen
We're: Mrs. George Gerlinger. the Rev
erend Edgar w. Miles and Elmer
Barnhart.
After the debate a very pleasant re-
ception was rendered the visiting team
and its chaperon, Miss Mcneil, by the
local High School Literary Society.
The Bethel debating team was also
the guests of the society, as were the
judges and number of other promi-
nent people of the city.
Owing to counter attractions, the
attendance was not as large as the
occasion warranted, and it is hoped
hereafter that a larger number of
people will lend encouragement by
their presence and interest.
Thirtysix students took part in the
County League contests, and it is safe
to say that never before has the sub
ject been so thoroughly threshed out
here. 1t is also interesting to note
that in every debate, the negative team
was declared the winner.
In the debate at Independence, Fri
day night, the Independence team won
over the Dallas affirmative by a decis-
ion of 2 to 1.
AT Monmouth, the Monmouth mega
tive team won over Bethel, by decis-
ion of 2 to 1.
At Bethel, the Bethel negative team
won over Perrydale, by a decision of
3 to 0.
At Perrydale, the Perrydale negative
team won over Falls City, by a decis-
ion of to 0.
AT Falls City, the Falls City negative
team won over Independence, by a
decision of 3 to 0.
AS a result of these contests, the
of the schools is now as fol-

Corvallis and Eugene Easy.

Portage went to Corvallis, Saturday
and played rings around the Agricultu-
raj College team, defeating the farm
ers by a score of A to IA. Eugene got
a taste of the same medicine last night,
when the crack University team went
down before the Wisconsin giants by
a margin of 21 points. An interesting
feature of the latter game is found in
the fact that of the Is points scored
by the University were made by Carl
