Good Team Work in Fast Game of
Basket Ball Gives Dallas Boys 80
in Fast Contest.

With a whoop and jump, the bas-
ket ball team of the Dallas High
school went up against the high
school players from Independence at
the rink here Wednesday night and
slaughtered them without mercy to
the extent of S9 to Q. The game was
fast one all the way through and
was marked by good team work on
the part of the locals.
Woods distinguished himself by
throwing ten baskets, Boydston put
in five, Polling two, Barham one, and
Matheny one.
independence is the only team
which has brought defeat to the Dali
las boys this year, and the victory of
Wednesday night was accordingly all
the more gratifying.

What is generally predicted to be
real live game of basket ball is to
take place in the Armory court in
this city tomorrow evening, when the
team of the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic association, for many years
the leaders of all kinds of sport in
the state, is to match its skill with
that of the champion Company g
five of Dallas. From information re-
ceived here it is learned that the
Portland players are coming up with
the idea that they will have a walk
over. In the recent contest with the
team of Willamette university at Sa-
lem, the latter beat the Multnomah
by a small margin, but the defeat, 1t
is claimed, was due to the fact that

SECOND TERM BEGINS MONDAY
MORNING WHEN PUPILS
WILL BE ASSIGNED BY
STANDING.
FIRST TERM SUCCESSFUL
Parents Urged to Send Primer Pupils
Now, Instead of Waiting Until
in Progress This Week-High
School Enters standard Contest.

The second term of the school year
in the Dallas city schools begins next
Monday morning, January 29. The
term just closing has been very
successful one, and the prospects are
that the remaining term will be even
more so. In order to simplify the
work of reorganization at that time,
the parents of all children of six
years or more who are to enter the
first "a" or primer class, should see
that they are promptly on hand Mon
day morning so that they may be
assigned to their proper places and
studies. Teachers have much to con-
tend with at such times, and little
forethought on the part of the par
ents will save them much annoyance
and will add to the effectiveness of
the school work.
In the past, it has been the prac-
tice of some to hold the beginning
pupils back until the fall term, and
the result has been over-crowded
classes at the mid-year term. To
avoid this it is requested by City Su-
perintendent w. l. Ford that those
children who are of school age be
started next Monday, thus making
the classes more nearly equal in size
and enabling the teacher to give more

SOUTHERN PACIFIC PLANS FAST
TRANSIT COMMUNICATION
WITH PORTLAND
BY 1918.
TWO HOUR SERVICE ASSURED
Meeting is Held With Members of
Council and Commercial Club For
Purpose of Getting Support in OBJ
tanning Right of Way For Double
Track From Metropolis.

Promising an electric railway di-
rect from Portland to Dallas by 1918
in return for the moral support of
the city in obtaining a franchise for
double track out of Portland along
Fourth street, prominent Southern
Pacific officials arrived yesterday
morning and held a brief meeting
with members of the city council and
commercial club in the rooms of the
LaCreole club. Within the promised
time, Dallas is to be provided with a
two-hour electric service between
here and the metropolis, the an
nouncement of which comes as a
further confirmation of the predict
ions made in the past by The OBJ
server.
The party was composed of D. w.
Campbell, general superintendent of
the Southern Pacific; W. D. Fenton,
general counsel; District Engineer
Burkhalter, and ]. B. Eddy, right of
way agent. Their object in making
tour of the West Side towns was
to obtain assistance in urging the
Portland council to grant the request
ed right of way along Fourth street
for a double track electric line to
take the place of the present steam
line. There is considerable opposi-
ton to the franchise in the Portland
body, and it is the purpose to over
come that by the combined aid OF
the interested towns in the valley
Extending McMinnvilIe Line.
The company is busily engaged in
extending its proposed electric
line to McMinnville and if proper
concessions are granted the work of
double tracking will be commenced
at once with the intention of bring
ing it to Dallas and Airlie and also
to Corvallis, with a branch line to
Sheridan.
After hearing the statements OF the
visitors, the members of the councl
and commercial club were heartily
i'm favor of lending all the support
possible. and to that end the follow
ing committees were. appointed 10
take the matter up at once: From
the council-Mayor J. r. Craven, ana
Councilmen H. G. Campbell W. v
Fuller and H. L. Fenton; from the
Commercial club-Edwin Jacobson

to take action in a short time.

in Willamette ValIey-Bridge Con-
struction Across River at Salem to
Commence Soon.

Within another year or so Dallas
is to be in direct rail connection with
Silverton and also with Stayton, two
live towns of the Eastern VILLAIN
ette Valley. This important traffic
extension is to be brought about by
branch lines which are to be built
by the Salem, Falls City & Western
railway, the headquarters and shops
of which are located in Dallas. The
two feeders are to form junction
with the main line a short distance
east of Salem. The route to Silver
ton will be about IL miles in length,
while that to Stayton will cover a
distance approximately 1S. The work
of making the surveys will be start
I'd Immediately. The information
was given out yesterday by Assist
ant General Manager H. A. Hinshaw.
of this city, in an interview with The
Observer.
According to articles filed by the
company in the office of the secre-
tary of state at Salem, Wednesday,
II is the intention to build the line
from Silverton on to oregon City, by
the way of Molalla and Mullion, but
the latter part of the work will not
be undertaken for some time TO come.
Bridge Construction Next.
In carrying out its plans for the
future, the road last yetar obtained
a franchise into Salem to operate
along Union street to a point past
Capitol street and at the time II was
rumored that the move had in view
an extension to Silverton and Abiqua
At the same time the franchise was
granted the road obtained permission
from the state and the War Depart
ment to construct a bridge across
the Willamette river from West Sa-
lem TO Salem. to be used as a con-
Meeting link for its line from West
Salem into Salem.
Assistant General Manager Hin
shaw said that II is planned 10 start
construction work on the bridge as
soon as the weather will permit and
TO run cars into Salem at the earli-
est opportunity.
New Country TO BE Opened.
Through the new extension Dallas
and Polk county VIII be brought into
direct connection with some OF the
richest sections I'm the Willamette

among the larger towns Of the val
ley. stayton now is practically with

Is roundabout and is Of little value.
In addition to this there are inn
