HIGH SCHOOL QUINTET
TAKES FIRST OF SERIES
Superior Team Work Of High
School Counts 3 to | For
City Championship

In n game full Of hard playing and
fumbIcs, the Salem high school quintet
took the first of the games for the
city championship from the picked team
of the Y. NJ. G. A. at the latter's gym
last night by score of 80 to l3. The
Y. NJ. c. A. players were 0utclassed IN
OIL departments Of the game, but more
particularly in passing, where the work
Of the high school lads enabled them
tu run the legs off Of the individual
stars. The to ! score is no indica'
tion of the real strength Of the teams,
and the score Of the first half, 10 to u,
comes nearer to the mark. The close
guarding of the Y. NJ. G, A. team in
the first half kept the score down, but
the guards were changed in the last
half, and the Superior trimming of the
high school team began to show and
Proctor and Reinhart shot baskets from
all angles in rapid succession over Hill
and Kellis. Proctor scored six bas'
kcts in this half and Reinhart eight.
The Y. NJ. G. A team had practiced
together but two nights, and their w0l;
clearly showed the lack of practice,
and teamwork was almost unknown to
the association five with the perfect.
ed teamwork Of the high school team
the contestants in last night 3 game
woud put up a close contest AS it
was, the Y. NJ c. A. players played
the floor harder than the high school
body, but their work was wild and ac'
complished nothing. Each man for
aimself, like shipwreclS in a fog, was
their system, and it failed to register
against the teamwork Of the high school
boys. From the showing Of the Salem
high school team last night IT is eyi'
dent that Willamette university took
the only safe course in declining Ia
enter the city championship games.

FOREST NOTES
X x 4 x 4 * * x i x X X x X x 4


Fire on the national forests in the
west last year cost the government
340,000,00O board feet of merchantile
timber, valued at 100000, and OF re.
production, or young growth of trees,
valued at $4,000, according to stats.
ties just compiled by the forest service.
There were 6605 fires. In addition to
the government loss, timber on state
and private lands within the forests,
totaling 228,000,0O0 board feet and val
ued at $4,000, was lost.
Notwithstanding that it was an ex.
ceptionally bad year for fires, on ac-
count of high temperature, heavy winds
and prolonged drought, the average loss
per fire was only $lO3, as against $l3l
in 1911, when there were only about
half as many fires. Eighty-five per
cent of the total loss was caused by
fires in Idaho, Montana, Oregon and
Washington, where more than half the
timber in all the national forests
stands, Less than one.tenth of one
per cent of this timber was affected.
Lightning was the chief cause, start
ing 2O32 fires; campers came next with
ll26, followed closely by railroad To-
comotives with lll0. lncendiaries
lighted 40 and the rest were attributed
10 brush burning, sawmills W to un
known causes.

ATHENS PEOPLE EXCITED
OVER ROBBERY
Goods Valued at S75 Taken From the
General Store Of Bert Taylor

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned at Athens Monday morning
when it was discovered that the store
of Bert Taylor in the heart of the
business section of Athens had been
entered and goods valued at around
$75 removed. The thieves had made
their entrance through a window. the
nails which had fastened the same
having been apparently removed the
evening before or at some time when
the store was open. Sheriff Thomp-
son was notified and while it may
have been the work of the gang who
are thought to be operating in vari-
Gus sections of the state. other
phases of the case seem to indicate
that it was someone we'll acquainted
with the store appointments. An
automobile was heard in the village
at about 2 o'clock on the morning of
the robbery.

A NOTABLE SOCIAL
SUCCESS
Masonic Lodge Rooms
Brilliant Scene
Initial Ladies' Night In Somerset
Chapter Charming Social Func-
tiOn

Last evening Somerset Chapter
Royal Arch Masons observed their
first Ladies' Night The function
was one of the most delightful which
has ever been given in the Masonic
Lodge rooms and was very largely
attended. In the receiving line were
Mr. and Mrs. Adam Simpson, George
X. Robinson, Mrs. Frank R. Madden
and Mr. and Mrs. H B. Harris of
Canaan Most Elk. High Priest Simp-
son presided and voiced few words
of greeting, after which a program
of very interesting numbers was pre-
sented. Included thereon were sew
eral organ selections by Miss Mildred
r. Weston, very skillfully played;
two songs sweetly sung by Mrs.
duets sung by Messrs. Ray Kilgore
and Lyle S. Moore. Mrs, A. r. Jewett
appeared in humorous Canadian
dialect numbers and known to be
already famous in this particular
mimicry, she convulsed her audience
as usual Miss Pauline Eaton Oak
was also listened to in readings with
great enjoyment, so gracefully did
she appear in the varied situations
which the selections required and so
natural withal In the delineations of
their different characters. At the
conclusion of the last number, the
gathering became strictly informal
and the brilliant throng grouped
themselves for conversation. Later
refreshments were served in the ban
quet room which had been made very
attractive with the Masonic colors,
harlequin ices, cakes, waters and
punch being served under the super
vision of Caterer Lambert The
punch table was especially attractive
with its Halloween suggestions and
was gracefully presided over by the
Misses Marie Fletcher and Violet
Robinson. This initial affair was
throughout an entire success in every
particular and Mr.. Simpson and his
associates might well be called adopts
in the art of entertaining.

VILLAGE CORPORATION
VOTES TO TO 25
To Offer S5O,OOO for a Clear Title to
Madison Water Company Property

After a spirited debate lasting for
over an hour, the Madison Village
Corporation voted Monday evening to
instruct its assessors to offer the
Madison Water Company the sum of
$4,000 for all of its property. rights.
privileges and franchises. with the
understanding that il the offer was
accepted clear title must be given.
The meeting was held in Fireman s
Hall, which was well filled with an
audience of representative voters and
taxpayers. Corporation Clerk, A. B.
Heald called the meeting to order
and DR.. w G. Sawyer was elected
moderator. AS soon as Article 2
was read, motion was made by F. A.
Gilman to instruct the assessors as
per the above vote.
w. B. Brown, who has been promi-
nently identified in the fight from the
start, at once took the floor in opposi-
ton to the measure. Mr.. Brown
pointed out that meetings had been
called repeatedly for practically the
same thing although it had been vot-
ed down. He compared the present
situation of the corporation to a state
ruled by an invisible power, and said
that the Water Company was the
power. He told of the fight from
the start, and cited the case of Fox
croft, which had bought water sys-
TEN in which the supply has been
condemned. Mr.. Brown also read a
part of the original deed to show that
in case the plant was purchased the
$50 horsepower now used for pump
ing purposes would revert back to
the Great Northern Paper Co. Mr.
Brown also contended that if the
plant was purchased at the present
time the corporation would also have
to assume a mortgage of $58,000, as
we'll as to be responsible for other
attachments amounting to $4,000.
H. c. Prince read a letter from
Prof. Whittier stating that if pure
water was pumped into the pipes
they would be purified in a few days
so that the water would be suitable
for domestic use. Mr.. Prince strong
ly advocated the purchase of the
plant and franchises.
Otf/r speakers were o. II. Dill
worth. B. X. Edwards. E. l.. Perkins,
George Lane and Charles H. Clark.
An interchange of personalities be-
tween Messrs. Dilworth and Prince
created considerable laughter The
vote stoon 20 to Is to make the offer
to the company.
Adjourned until Monday evening,
Nov. l. when the assessors will make
their report.
