Forest Fills, N. Y. Sept IA new
national tennis champion was crowned
here today when William NJ. Johnston
of San Francisco. defeated Maurice e.
Mclaughlin. also of the Golden Gate
City, in gruelling four-set match. for
the singles title. The youthful Cali
fornian dashed the hopes of his more
famous internationalist by winning at
Ia. so, 7-5, 10-8 and thus prevent
ing for another year at Least the
former champions hope of clinching
permanent possession OF the huge sill
yer An-Comers' Bowl. With two legs
already to his credit on the trophy,
Mclaughlin made sensational battle
to take 1t back to San Francisco with
him for all time, but neither physical
~ nor with racquet wizardry was he
able to compete with his younger OPP
ponent.
The four set match ran the gamut
from mediocre to the tennis Of the
master. Both victor and vanquished
had their flashes of brilliant and poor
play but at all times the pace and
strain was terrific and in the long run
Johnston,s youth served him better
than the greater experience OF Nc
Lioughlin.

A final climax was given to the pic
ture when both Johnston and Nc
Loughlin were Nlifted on the shoulders
of their admirers and carried side by
side into the clubhouse.
Not a single point was won or lost
without the most terrific efforts. The
constant racing about the court in the
close and humid atmosphere soon had
both dripping. Mclaughlin showed
the physical strain as early as the
second set which he lost at love thus
establishing what is claimed to be a
record in his tennis career. Nc
Loughiin was wild in stroking and un-

BIG TEAMS COME TO DALLAS.

Many Important Games.

The Dallas basketball team is pre-

playing in which it will meet some of
the best teams in the northwest, and
perhaps several very good eastern
teams. The big games scheduled al
ready are those with the Washington

er games tentatively agreed upon are
with the University of Washington
and a crack organization from 0swe-

Great Money Spending
Contest NeQyS Close

Christmas shopping is in full blast
in Dallas today, and the idle man car
find plenty of entertainment in just
watching it as it goes on. There is
the shy young man who hopes fol-
something before the next Christmas
He is entering a jewelry store be-
cause he thinks it would be almost
sacrilege on his part to dare 10 pur-
chase anv article of clothing such as
might suit his divinity. He is break
ing himself, but he is meditating all
the time that when he makes the gift
he will do it in a careless way just as
though he was in the habit Of doing
such things every day.
There is the young lady. She is in
tent on something; she is hesitating
between neckties and fine linen hand
kerchiefs; she is looking furtively at
pins that would fit a scarf and she is
saying to herself, "If Clarence will
only keep his word l will be out of
this trouble a year hence"
There is the old man and woman
fixing up to fill a whole row of stock
ings on Christmas eve, and they are
as mysterious about it when around
home as ever a banker is when once
in a great while he loans some impe-
cunious citizen $7.25 without ortho-
dox collateral.
There are the boys in the family
that behind a warehouse somewhere
are counting their money and trying
to estimate how many million dollars
worth of goody-goodies they can pur-
chase for mamma for that amount
of money. There are brother and sis
ter gifts being purchased. There is
the anxious looking lady doing her
shopping with the thought in mind
that she has one hundred and seven
outside friends that are not worth a
dollar apiece to whom she must send
presents ranging all the way from
three dollars to fourteen dollars, and

That interests opposed to the build

of stories criticizing the Marion and
Polk county courts for the method
used in calling for bids on the bridge,
is the opinion of a Salem man, who
has been closely associated with the
two courts in the preliminary ar
rangements
"The stories in the Seattle publi-
cation" said this man, ''have been
published with the apparent purpose
of sitting competition. The result
has been that both concrete and steel
builders have been communicating
with Salem asking if there is any
thing in the reports that the counties
are going to give up the competitive
idea.

MR.. WOODS GIVES WARMING.
Motorists Should Be Careful In Cross
ing Tracks on Main Street Hill,

|. N. Woods, of the Southern Pa
cific company, has called timely at
tention to a very dangerous practice
among local motorists, and citizens
would do well to heed the warning in
time to save their necks. Topping a
hill in North Dallas, leading from
Main street, is a railroad track,
where a number of trains pass one
way and the other each day. Au-
tomobile drivers usually run from
Main street onto the hill at full
speed, making a turn that obscures
the track, just before they reach the
top. At the rate of speed the ma
chimes travel it would be little short
of a miracle if death or serious in
jury to the occupants were avoided
in case train came along at that
moment. If the community were
larger and both train and automobile
travel heavier it would be very nee
essary to build a viaduct for the
trains to pass over, but under pres
ent conditions the only safeguard
that can be had is in the warning
given, or the establishing there by
the company of "a signel bell system.
An engineer would have no possible
chance to avoid a collision with
rapidly moving machine, under exist
ing conditions, and it therefore be-
hooves the motorist to exercise every
precaution to avoid an accident on the
Main street hill.

PAPPAs DECLARES INTENTION.
The United States Will Have Anoth-
er Citizen in Near Future.

With the assistance of County
Clerk Robinson The Observer was
able to learn on Tuesday that Pana-
giotus Papagcorgoopofos Of Mideas,
Geibesi county, Greece, had declared
his intention of allying himself with
hosts of his countlymen under the
starry banner and imposing protec-
torate of the United States Of Ameri-
ca. That name is spoken in Dallas,
where the gentleman makes his home,
as Peter Pappas, which for obvious
reasons, including sympathy for the
reader, we prefer to use. Peter Pap
pas, employed as laborer in Dallas,
came to the United States from Nav
plion. Greece, and has lived in Polk
county for some time. The fact that
many friends with whom he has here
been associated have become citizens
of the United States caused him to
appear at the office of the county
clerk to declare his intention of be-
coming one of us. Pappas is the
Americanization for the mans real
name.

PRECINCTS TO BE CHANGED.
Rock Greek Voters Asks For Polling
Place There.

The matter of changing the boun-
daries of several of the voting pre-
cincts in Polk county will come be-
fore the county court at its next meet
ing, to be held January 5. No action
was taken on this at the December
term of court The West Salem pre-
cinct is too extensive, according to
some who live too distant from the
polling place to take an interest in
voting. There are more than the lin
it of voters in this precinct, and it is
one of the several that will probably
be changed. The Bridgeport precinct
is another Of those whose boundaries
are too far apart for the convenience
of the majority. The Bridgeport pre-
cinct will probably be divided so that
part of the voters in the Bridgeport
district will be able to cast their
votes in one of the Monmouth pre-
cinets. A petition has been received
by the county court asking for the
creation Of precinct in the vicinity
of Rock Creek, in the extreme south
western part Of the county, where
there are a number of voters who
cannot exercise their right of fran
ehise because of the distance TO the
polls. The petition will be acted up
on at the January meeting Of the
county court.

Mr.. Howes and his wife, who was
formerly Mrs. Christena E. Fellows,
went to Portland early Wednesday to
do Christmas shopping, and on Thurs
day, Mrs. Howes telephoned the in
formation to friends here that her
husband had taken suddenly i'll and
was confined to his room in the hotel,
with trained nurse in attendance.
Shortly after four O'Clock this morn
ing the nurse called friends here to
say that he had died. She did not
state the cause Of death. When Mr..
Howes left Dallas on Wednesday he
was apparently in perfect health, and
the only cause Of death that would
seem reasonable in the absence Of bet
ter information is that he had
ptomaine poisoning. 1t is said that
he had been subject to slight attacks
of stomach trouble for several years.
Mr.. Howes was native Of Massa-
chusetts and was fifty years of age.
He had been we'll known in Dallas for
five years, as he was frequent visit
or at the home of Mrs. Fellows, whom
he married at Portland on November
Of this year. The couple had re-
turned only week on two ago from
an extended wedding journey through
California and southern states and
were making their home in Dallas.
Mr.. Howes attended to his duties as
vice-president of the Union Pacific
Life Insurance company by making
frequent trips to Portland, and on
combined business and
pleasure trip in going to his Port
land offices. Mr.. and Mrs. Howes
were to return Ito Dallas last even
ing, and called friends in the after
noon to say that their return would
be delayed until tonight because of
Mr.. Howes' sickness. Mrs. Howes
mas sent for her only child, Mrs.
Marshall of Lyle, Wash, and she is
10 arrive in Portland today to bring
any possible comfort to her bereaved
mother. Mrs. Marshall accompanied
her mother and Mr.. Howes on their
recent wedding trip.
