In spite of attractions elsewhere, the jav an(j wji"i
lecture Tuesday night at the Congrega
tional church was well attended. Pro
fessor Lloyd of Pacific University occu
pied the rostrum, and after being intro
duced in a few well chosen words by Mr,
Curtis, began his lecture on "Clams."
The discourse was quite a technical one,
but no less interesting and a new line of
thought was opened to the minds of
those present. By the aid of charts.
Professor Lloyd explained the structure
of tbe clam gave a clear account of the
working of its organs and told of its

Tbe scene at the armory New Year's
eve was a brilliant one. Society turned
out, in full force to partakl of the Co
lumbia Hose Company's hospitality, and
from 9 o'clock till after 1, the floor was
a veritable kaleidoscope with changing
shades of light and dark, the young
ladies looking resplendent in dresses of
ight colors, while the young gentlemen
looked their best in the regulation black,
The hall was elegantly decorated. .From
each electric light draped the company's
colors, white and blue. Upon the stage
two ladders placed at right angles
formed a support for the canvas covering
which made an enclosure for the orches
tra. The artistic effect was pretty, while
the tent-like' arrangement acted aB
sounding board for the music, and made
it sound clear and strong in all parts of
the hall. A diminutive fireman and
hose cart, neatly constructed under the
supervision of Ernest Jensen, added to
the , interest of the decorations. Mr.
Jensen deserves much praise for labor
performed in the decoration, as do also
other' members of tbe company, names
too numerous to mention.
At 9 o'clock the grand march, led by
Mr. J. H. Worseley and Mrs. E. C.
Price began, along line of couples fol-
)wing the dancers through the changing
figures. When the grand march was
over, the lancers bPgan, and from that
time on, the dancing kept up steadily,
with brief resting spells, till the early
morning hours. The spirit of a good
time was in the air. Many ladies went
to tbe ball only as spectators, but soon
they were dancing like those who had
come with that declared purpose. The
city would have to be a large one, and
the occasion extraordinary, which would
have produced a more brilliant spectacle
than the one witnessed from the stage
Tuesday evening. It could easily be
told that the evening was a delightful
one oy tho way in which tbe partici
pants remained. Not until the musi
cians played tne last piece, was there a
movement towards leaving, and then it
was done reluctantly.
To the committee on arrangements,
much credit should he given for tbe suc
cess of the evening. . Every appoint
ment bad been looked after carefully,
and the comfort and pleasure of the
guests considered above all else. The
members of the Colombia Hose com
pany can feel gratified at the outcome of
their attempt at entertaining and when
ever another Columbia ball i-i an
nounced, it will recall the one given
Tuesday evening, and a repetition be assured.

The city council wound up the old
year with a special meeting. Nothing
startling was done, and the city fathers
allowed tbe old year to pass without any
farewell speeches. - The councilmen met
in the recorder's office and besides
Mayor Monefee the following city offi
cials were gathered around the stoves :
Councilmen G J Boss, B E Saltmarshe,
Chas. Laaer, A B Thompson, G C Esh
elman, M T Nolan, T F Wood, Recorder
Phelps and Marshal Blakeney. ,
The first business that came, before tbe
council was the petition of A S Bennett
asking that the alley which separates A,
B, C, D, and I, J K and L of block 51,
in the Fort Dalles Military Reservation,
be vacated. The petition recites that
the petitioner, is the owner on both
sides of the alley, and as the alley has
never been opened, and cannot be
opened without great expense, the peti
tioner asks that it be vacated, giving
as a further reason that he desires to
build upon the center of the property.
On motion of Mr. Nolan the petition
was referred to the committee on streets
and public property, with instructions
to report at tbe next regular meeting.
As this was the time for tho present
ing of petitions for liquor licenses, re
quests were received from Maetz &
Pundt, Stubling & Williams, J O Mack,
F W Sllvertooth, Andrew Baldwin,
Chas Frank, E Lemke, T J Nicholas, A
Kellar, Ben Wilson, F W L Skibbe, Dan
Baker, Sinnott & Fish. As there were
no objections, tbe council ordered that
the recorder be instructed to issue li
censes to tbe respective petitioners.
As this completed the business for
which the meeting was called, the coun
cil adjourned amid mutual wishes for
a Happy New Year. New Year's day
brings no changes in the membership
in the council.
