WOMAN IS SECRETARY
COMMERCIAL CLUB DIRECTORS
ELECT MRS. BRADEN.
W. v. Fuller Chosen President and
R. U. Steelquist Vice President;
Bank Is Treasurer.

The board of directors of the Dal
las Commercial club departed from
custom Friday night and chose a wo
man, Mrs. Winnie Braden, secretar,
OF the club for the ensuing year.
Mrs. Braden has been secretary of
the Polk county fair association fol
several years. She is clearly entitled
to place on the roster of women who
do things in Oregon. Last year she
went out into the fields and homes of
Polk county, selected, collected and
arranged an exhibit, and with it took
first place in the Polk county division
and highest in the state at the state
fair, and also sweepstakes at the
Northwest Land Products exhibit at
Seattle, with five counties competing
from each of the three northwestern
states, Oregon, Washington and Ida
ho. Mrs. Braden is interested in ag-
riculture, horticulture, county fairs
and numerous other things but above
all she is community booster, At
present she is busily circulating a
petition asking the state legislature
to establish state-owned and oper-
ated lime plant for the production
of ground limestone, at cost, for ag-
rieultural use.
Mrs. Braden was nominated by
Frank Coad. W. V. Fuller, the new
president, made a speech and second
ed the nomination. He said: "I am
going to second this nomination but
in doing so I wish it clearly under
stood that my action is prompted not
by any fault whatsoever with Secre-
tary Loughary or his work. Last year
Mrs. Braden received about $40 a
for 9 months, for her services
on the fair board We cannot secure
work such as she accomplished for
that remuneration, again, and as the
fair is one of the most important fea-
lures of commercial club work, 1t
seems better to consolidate and have
one secretary for both the fair asso-
citation and the commercial club; |
therefore second the nomination,
Mr.. Loughary moved that the choice
be made unanimous and the motion
carried. -" ''' N '
The reports of the secretary and
treasurer for the past year were post
poned until the next regular meeting
Of the whole club.
u S. Loughary was elected to fiji
the vacancy in the board of directors,
caused by Mr.. Fuller's removal to the
presidents chair. Tracy Stats of
fered to resign from the board be-
cause he was a member Of the city
He said that matters might
come up in which the two bodies
night conflict. His resignation was
not accepted.
The Dallas National bank, repre-
,ented by Eugene Hayter, was chosen
treasurer of the club.
The board of directors as it now
stands includes: N. L. Guy, o.. s..
Tracy Stats, R. U. Steel
1uist, J. R. Craven, W. L. Soehren,
W. G. Vassall, Frank Coad and A. B.

The Dallas basketball quintet add
ed another victory to it's long list
Saturday night when they trimmed
the University of Oregon % to 81.
Dallas led by the score of 13 to 6
at the end of the first half. They
slowed up little in the second period
and the university team took sprint,
nearly catching up. Better condition
was a factor during the second half.
The local team was not in the best Of
shape. Carl Fenton was bothered by
two boils on his neck and Laird
Woods has been i'll with the grip for
a week. Besides that, Matheny, the
big guard, was unable to take the
trip and the teamwork was broken up
to some extent.
I Both teams used the short passing
style of game. The contest was fast
and closely fought. Woods, Boydston
and Shaw each scored six points for
Dallas. '
Hollis Huntingdon, fullback on
Coach Bezdek's champion football
team, was the star ofythe game. He
scored six field baskets. The lineup:
