Coui i..eneinK amoni! the F,ast F.nd residences and working their way westward, the merry strains of music betokening their rdvent, they called on their various ac quaintances and enlivened each resi dence with the rendition of jolly tunes, and were in turn enlivened at many 1 Vices by delicate collations, which IK- rail thetto morn vigorous efforts. The afternoou and a portion of the eve n'ui were consumed ere they ceased; hut they were finally elleotuiilly silenced by the breaking of a ithor string and con oclled to rlesiHt and nwalt the coin ing (another New Year. , A long the unique In social matters the it perleuce social at the M. E. church Pat dny evening takes the lead. This was u effort on the part of the ladies to rakj monev for the organ fund of the chu :h. The plan was for each ldy to ar dollar, or so much as she could, by '.atever meant she should choose to en- j, and at the social to relate her s 'once In earning the money. The :r. Jnces were many and variod, and included many different ways of earning money. Some cleanod streets and shoveled snow from the sidewalks, while others sold et;irs, nojicorn, pies and lt tles, medicine Inittles presumably. One earned a portion of her dollar hy main taining silence for a day ; but one hard ened schemer acting on the presumption that silence gives commit, took advantage- of her inability to speak and pro posed lo her and now he wonders If sil ence does meun consent. Another by searching the street hi quest of a lost dog ; some durned socks, and others did wash ing, mado driws, and in other wavs too numerous to mention, th ladies earned their respective minis which amounted In the aggregate to tlOO.00. After tho experiences were related refreshments wore served, which way one of the most pleasing experiences of the evening.

C. liooper, administrator of the estate of W. C. Tarletou, deceased. This estate has been in the probate court for nearly three year. It is with pain we chronicle the death of Mr. Chas. Bcrget of Trout Lake fioin lung fever. Rut five weeks since Mr. Rerget led Miss Mate Rape of Hood River to the altar. The young w ife is prostrated by the blow that hits left her a widow so early in life. A new industry is developing at Yaki ma, that of slocx-fotding. During the month of November aloue 78 cars of cattle, about 1,700 bead, were shipped iu there to be held for a month or six weeks for fattening npou alfalfa. Tbey are then reshipped to the sound markets. The I). P. and A. N. company made a good beginning on the enlargement of their wharf yesterday. It i to be five feet higher tbau formerly, making it eleveu feet, six Inches above low water murk. When completed it will have a storage capacity for about 10,000 sacks of wheat, besides room enough to accom modate all other freight requiring stor age room, Chris Cunningham, who is iu a posi tion to know what be Is talking about, says that all the spring lambs in Idaho have been contracted for at 12.50 per bead, to be delivered next spring, and sheep wliich will thon be two-year-old are under contract for delivery at 3 per head. These figures do not indicate any depression in the sheep-growing Indus try. In Umatilla county the condition of atrairs is the same. Grown sheep are worth from 13.50 upwards, and lambs command a proportionately high price. Last night the Union Whist club held Its usual Wednesday eveuing meeting, being entertained by Judge and Mrs. Rrudshaw. The evening passed very pleasantly at whist. The scores ran high; Mrs. W. II. Wilson carrying off the first prise with a score of twenty-six points ahead. Mr. W. Lord captured the booby after an exciting contest with a score of twenty-two points below xero. The house occupied by Frsnk Huot, on Mr. J. 11. gherar's 8-Mlle ranch, was destroyed by fire last night. Mr. and Mrs. Huot were absent, on visit to Portland, and the place was in charge of their son Frank, who says he retired about 9 :30 last night, and was awakened soon after by the approach of the flames. The house and contents were wholly consumed. Mr. Huot's loss is much more than the loss of the building, which it is understood Mr. Ehcrar in tended removing for a sew structure in the spring.

The great trouble has always been that they had to he mado to order, as win dgws and doors vary in width. Now, J however, a device is made narrow enough to go into the narrowest doorway, it is in two sections, running upon a sliding top bar. By drawing these pieces apart they can bo extended to the width of the door, and the opou place left in the center of thorn is furnished with a short drapery.
