ALL CONTRACTS EXTENDED.
Hop Association Members Still Hold
ing for Is Cents.

The outstanding unsold Oregon hop
crop will bring into the state $1,000,-
900 if the plans of the Oregon Hop
Growers association, as developed
Saturday, work out to the satisfaction
of more than 700 members. In var
ious hop-growing sections meetings
were held Friday and Saturday, and
at which practically all the members
signed an agreement to extend all
contracts till May l, 1916, holding un-
til such time as Is cents a pound can
be realized. All present contracts
were made to December 81, 1915.
Those unable to hold were assured
that the association would buy their
hops at the prevailing price. Presi-
dent Jones declined to talk of the sit
uation and Secretary Clark is reticent
about giving out at this time, an es-
innate in figures of the Oregon crop
now on hand, or the part of the crop
which the association might take over
and hold on its own account.

THE NEW YEAR APPRoACHETH.
Every Freight and Express Car Brings
Liquid Refreshment.

To determine that Dallas citizens,
those whose "eye-opener" or "appe-
tier" is a pleasure they will not de-
ny themselves, are assiduously pre-
pairing for the new year, the dry
year, one must only observe the un-
loading Of any express or freight car
that comes into the local depot during
the days before the dawn of the
bright, dry new year. Since last
Monday morning there have been re-
ceived in Dallas SO barrels of the
CHEEKY amber fluid, not to mention 6
kegs, 2 barrels and 2 cases of whis-
ky, in addition to countless wines and
other liquors that have been carried
or shipped into the city. But the
above are those only that have been
to various Dallas folks who
enjoy a "wee nip" with their lunch,
or at any other time. Dallas people
have been enjoying "dry" conditions
for nearly a year, and they evidently
do not intend that the new year shall
be old before, in their homes at least,
are temporary cases in the heart of
a bone-dry state.

LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN.
Three Hundred Thousand Letters to
Boost Oregon.

A letter writing campaign that is
expected to result in sending out
100000 letters to residents of other
states will be undertaken during Jan
uary through the aid and direction
of the publicity and convention bur-
eau of the Chamber of Commerce of
Portland. Three weeks next month
will be set apart for the campaign.
Every resident of Oregon will be urg-
ed to write at least ten letters to as
many persons in other states, telling
of the resources and opportunities
here for investment, for developing
the agricultural and industrial posi-
bilities and for making a home in
some part of the state. Each business
man will be urged to make so the
minimum number of letters sent out.
Commercial bodies and educational in
stitutions and their officials will be
interested in the letter-writing cam
paign.

tional committeeman from Oregon,
has been honored by the committee at
its meeting in Washington, d. C.,
when he was selected by it as one Of
the special committee to arrange the

GROCER WINS CONTEST PRIZE.
Window Display Arranged By Hugh
Black is Rewarded by Judges.

Hugh G. Black has received a cash
prize of five dollars as a result of wl,l-
dow display contest in which he par
ticipated in competition with mer>
chants throughout Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho. The contest, conduct
ed by the makers of Golden West
coffee, was confined TO window dis
plays; the best being rewarded. Mr..
Blacks window, admitted to be one
of the best in the contest, was a work
of art as well as one that required
considerable ability by the win'lOw
dresser. The business managers of
the Oregonian and the Journal and
Merrill Reed of the Reed advertising
agency were judges of the contest and
their award to Mr.. Black is a tribute
to that enterprising merchant. That
not even the large metropolitan stores
could excel the local grocer is sig
nifcant.

TEACHER ASKS DIVORCE.
Mrs. Justina Kildee Alleges NAL
treatment at Hands of Husband.

Because of his alleged drunkenness
and the maltreatment she bore from
him, including lashes and abuse, JUS
tina M. Kildee has filed a praye, for
divorce from her husband, Edward A.
Kildee. Mrs. Kildee is teaching school
at Buena Vista to support herself
and two minor children since she and
her husband were forced to live apart
August 1914. The couple were mar
ried June 81, 1901 in Hanna church,
Grand Traverse county, Michigan, and
their first child, William Russell Kill
dee, was born a year later. The 9TH
er child, Ambrose Vincent Kildee, is
six years old. In her complaint Mrs
Kildee alleges that her husband APP
peared at Buena Vista last week with
the avowed intention of taking the
children from her. Mr.. Kildce is
said to own a homestead of 320 acres
in Lake county, which he took up
soon after the family came to Oregon
in June, 1913. In addition to the
custody of the children Mrs. Kildee
asks her undivided third interest in
all property owned by the defendent.
Oscar Hayter is handling the case for
Mrs. Kildee.

Multnomah county, which has exclu-
sive jurisdiction of the subject mat
ter The action of the circuit court
in denying the petition, dismissing the
proceedings and awarding the custody
of Marion Bowers to the defendant
is erroneous, and in consequence
thereof the Judgment is reversed and
one will be entered here restoring the
liberty of the ward and surrendering
her to the petitioner, Mollie Bowers,
until the further order of the juvenile
court of Multnomah county in the
matter.'
The fight was made to establish for
all time the extent of the jurisdiction
of the juvenile court of Multnomah
county. That court has thousands of
juvenile cases, and must of necessity
send the children outside the county,
in order to provide homes for them.
If when they sent children to other
counties, the jurisdiction exercised
would be lost to that court, serious
complications would arise. 1t was not
this particular case it was fighting to
win, but it was to establish a pre-
cedent. It was a matter of vital con-
cern to the policy and proceeding Of
that particular court which handles
more dependent and delinquent cases
than all the courts of the state COM
bined

MILT. GRANT CELEBRATES.
Rural Carrier Has Served Twelve
Years on Local Routes

On Wednesday Milt. Grant cele-
ibrated the twelfth anniversary of
the beginning of his service as rural
mail carrier, working out of the Dal-
las office. Mr. Grant took up his du-
ties on the rural routes just twelve
years ago, and at that time rode
horseback to deliver the few letters
that he carried in his pockets. And
with the passing of the twelfth year
Mr.. Grant, who still does his duty
as a rural carrier, ruminated on the
time that were and the times that are.
From long route travelled on horse
back with perhaps a dozen or two
dozen letters the years have brought
almost as long route, but with it
a team and an enclosed cart in which
Mr.. Grant daily carries hundreds of
letters and hundreds of packages,
weighing a great many pounds. In
the earlier day letters were all that
could be transported through the mail,
but today the rural carrier has his
wagon loaded with everything from
a simple postal to a sack Of potatoes,
a bundle of ax-handles. or several
hundred two-pound catalogs from a
mail order house. 1t takes Mr.. Grant
many hours longer to cover his terri
tory than it did in the beginning, and
the great population Of the districts
through which his route passes Is an
increase of many hundreds of people
over those that formerly lived along
the crude county roads.

DALLAS TEAM VICTORS
PHI DELTA SIGMA FRATERNITY
NO MATCH FOR LOCALS.
Benton County Town Easily Defeated
at Armory Saturday Night, the
Score Being 81 to 18.

Although the Dallas team labored
under a heavy handicap in the first
half of its basketball game with the
Phi Delta Sigma fraternity of Cor
wallis on the local floor Saturday even
ing the home team won by the de-
cisive score of 81 to 18, with playing
honors going to every member of the
team. The handicap was in having
an altogether worthless referee, last
minute substitution, who was relieved
in the second half by "Pebo" Shaw.
The playing in the first half, perhaps
because of the referee, was not spec
tacular or even exciting except in its
roughness. Dallas did have more of
an edge on the playing that the first
period score of 10 to 9 in their ia
vor would Indicate. In the second
half the boys came onto the floor
vigorously, and had little trouble in
showing the 0. A. c. varsity players
the proper way to handle a basket
ball.
The local team lost the basket in the
mixup several times, and had that not
been the case the visitors would have
even greater burden of defeat to
carry than the score that ended the
game. The Dallas boys had many op-
portunities to score that were unsuc-
cessfully attempted. The visitors con-
verted most of the chances they had
except the free throws and there they
could not make good.
As the first game of the season the
contest Saturday night was very good,
at least when the game got a new
start in the second half, and without
an exception the men who appeared
on the floor for Dallas played real
basketball. Blagg and Mix, two reg
ular varsity players on the Phi Del
ia Sigma squad, did more than their
share of the playing for the visiting
team, although at least two of the
other men did much valuable work.
The Dallas team consisted of Boyd
ston and Ballantyne, forwards;
" "Skeet" Hayes, center; Lynn Ma
theny and Uda Burke, guards.

Vacation Begins Friday.

The students of the Dallas grade
and high scsools will be dismissed on
Friday evening, December "a, for
their annual Christmas and New Year
vacation. Glasses will resume work
on the first Monday in January. So
far this year the city school work has
gone along with unusual smoothness
and a great deal Of valuable effort
has been applied by the pupils. That
they will return with vigor and en-
thusiasm renewed after a brief re-
spite from their studies is assured.
Most of the teachers will make the
holiday season an occasion for visits
to their homes in various parts Of the
state.

LARGER FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Council Plans Provisions to That End
Last Night.

The Dallas volunteer fire depart
ment will be increased in membership
from twenty to twenty-five men as a
result of the findings of the fire and
water committee of the city council
and the instructions issued to the or
dinance committee last evening to
bring in an ordinance amending the
one now in force. The department
will also be allowed to select two new
locations for its hose carts. This mat
ter was referred to the fire and water
committee some time ago. The or
dinance authorizing $5 increase in
the salary of the city marshal passed
its first reading, and a resolution,
authorizing the city auditor to pur-
chase 300-feet of hose for street
cleaning purposes, was passed. Two
ordinances on the same subject pass
ed first readings, one prepared by
Mayor kirkpatrick and City Attorney
Coad, and the other by Oscar Hayter
as attorney for R. l.. Chapman. These
ordinances grant permission to R. l..
Chapman to build a drain tile into the
street from his basement on Oak
street. The ordinance prepared by
the mayor and city attorney was not
just what Mr.. Chapman had in mind,
and it is probable that the ordinance
prepared by Mr.. Hayter will be the
one to pass the second reading at the
next meeting.
Mayor kirkpatrick appointed a
committee to investigate the expendi-
ture by the band of the monthly ap-
preparation granted it by the city.
The committee, consisting of John
Sweeney, chairman; Riley Craven and
Carl Williams, will see that the mon
ey is properly and judiciously ex-
pended. Other business transacted at
the meeting was Of routine nature
and included the allowance of few
bills.
