The choir of the Cathnlio church of Portland, east and west tide, chartered the steamer Young America Wednes day, and came on an excursion to Ha u vies Ialniid and St. Helens. The party stopped hi Taylors place opoos te Hi, Helena, ft few hours, when the members ate their lunch and enjoyed an outing. Later the party came down to this place and took possesion of l lie opera house and spent a couple of hours dancing and singing. The party included ubout thirty la lies and six gentlemen.

The apparatus wa taken out but do sign of fire could be found, and every body re pin rod to their homes bettor pleased than though there had been a fire, yet there was a diauiitted look lurking on the conienauces of everyone that they should have been fooled so'basjly. Last Sunday ovoning about 7:30, smoke and Dames wre seen issuing from the northern portion of the city, and quite a little excitement ensued until some of our citizens went to the cone, which was the picnic ground, w. ere they found that lire had been set in the bruh along the north bank f NiuKor creek.

Such, iu common and very expressive parlance, is the unanimous verdict of those wbo attended the en turtuinment and bull given by the UUd f ell'jws Friday night in commem oration of thoir Ural anniversary a an organization in this place. In true generosity and consideration for the entertainment of their many friends, so characteristic of that splendid or ganization, tlie Odd Fellows of St. Helens have for . several week boon prepuring a programme with which to entertain the citizens of this place, and that their efforts were crowned with success i attested by the large number who assembled to accept their hospitality and their many expressions of pleasure at having done so. The bii'l, which was the principal feature of the evening was preceded by a very amusing farce comedy entitled "Join ing the Tiupanilc," which was pre sented by members of the order here. Of thi part of the programme it is only necessary to ny that the gentle men who participated did thehiaolves ample justice and succeeded in enter taming their hearers. The opening exercises were tollowed by one of the moat enjoyable balls evor given in St. Helen, and although the weather was uncomfortably warm for dancing, the delighied devotee of Terpsichore were unwilling to disperse until "after the stars were gone." All who attended declare the Odd Fellows fairly outdid themselves on this occasion and their first anniversary will long be remem bered with pleasure. Among those present from other places were K. U. McNull and wife and Gus. H. Bynon, of Vernonia; N. A. Perry and wife, of llotilton ; Mrs. G. II. Kaiser, of Portland ; Miss Stella Goodin, of Glen co; Miss Eatclle Masters, of Goltlen dale; Messrs.

The unprecedented runs on .banks all over the country ha caused them to tumble right and left, and although they are, with few exceptions, solvent, they have not been able to call in loans and realize on securities fast enough to meet the demand of depositors, and iu consequence a large number have been forced to close their door tempoiarily in order to prevent sacri ficing their entire assets.
