A TRIAL SOLICITED
THE BURNS SOCIETY
CELEBRATES AHK1VERSARY
Largest Callicrin, ana
Ever Held in
In common wth all patriotic Scotch
men throughout the world, the Robert
Burns Society of this county met last
evening in commemoration of the one
hundred and forty-seventh anniversary of
Robert Bums, their greatest poet Few
men have won such lasting fame and few
are so near to the hearts of the people as
Burns, whose immortal songs are sung
and loved by the people as they were a
hundred and more years ago.
The Elk's hall was beautifully decorat
ed with evergreens and a large banner
was displayed upon which was lettered
so all could read "Scotch Welcomertiuide
Mile Failde. A hundred thousand wel
come. ' '
. ;';!;;!: th? two hun
dred or more of the clans and friends as
sembled and one of the best programs in
the history of the association was rend
ered, notwithstanding the fact that it was
rendered by citizens of our own county,
in contradistinction to former customs
when the principal address has been made
by speaker from other parts of the state.
During the interim since the last gather
ing, two of the members, who were also
honored pioneers of Grande Ronde Valley
and who were large factors in the history
making period of this county, were called
home to their Creator. " We refer to John
Morrison and Mrs. McDonald, ond as will
be noted by looking over the program
that T. A. Rinehart was assigned to de
liver these eulogies which he did with
credit.
The banquet which followed the literary
entertainment was in keeping with the
well-known hospitality of the Scotch and
notwithstanding there were many in ex
cess of the anticipation, there was more
than plenty for all.
Another feature out nf the ordinary,
which showed originality on the part of
the program committee was that the
toasts were responded to by the ' ladies.
Mrs. Jessie L. Cavana responded the
'Year that Wa" "; Mr. F. S. Ivanhoe,
Mothers"; and Mrs. M. F. Davis of Un
ion, "burn t bongs. 1 he ladies acquitt
ed themselves with such credit that it is
not expected that throughout the ages as
this society meets annually will the men
everhave an opportunity to respond to a
toast again, with the possible exception of
Mr. Rinehart, who as an afterthought wis
jumped up on the spur of a moment to
respond to "The Ladies." He always
has liked the ladies and just having about
concluded a sumptuous feast and sur-
JOINT INSTALLATION
The Q. A. R. and W. R. C. are holding
a joint installation this afternoon. The
ladies of the cotps provided an elaborate
banquet and this will be a day long to be
remembered by the members of both
orders.
AMUSEMENTS
THE TAMINO OF THE SHREW
It was the Shakespearean ay that
monopolized the interest of the evening by
reason of its really admirable presenta
tion. Not only is Mr. Hanford complete
master of Petruchio and Miss Drafnah a
charming and individual Katherine, the
shrew, but everyone of the more promi
nent parts was well played, and the per
formance proceeded with a spirit and
eclat that was something of a revelation
to playgoers.
Mr. Hanford ha every reason to feel
proud of bis success. His Impersonation
is presunted with confidence and a finish
that distinctly identifies him with the role.
As an interpretation it stands out clearly
in conception and definition. It is marked
by strong nervous force and general ela
tion of spirits, and presented with a poise
that denotes the artist whose mere tech
nical skill has been gained in a school of
standard art.
Miss Drofnah fairly shared the . honors
with the star. She distinguished nicely
between the shre ish temper of Kate and
the tenderness of the woman when her
spirit is subdued, present, ng the character
with an intellige.it grasp of its salient
traits and charmiog ,iar audience by her
grace and refinement. Washington (D.
C.) Post.
The Taming of the Shrew will be Mr.
Hanford play at Steward' opera house
on Saturday. Feb. 3.
TO-HIOHT

RETURNS FROM FAIR VIEW
Pastor W. H. Cibson retdrned last eve
ning from an outing of two weeks spent
in revival work with the Mt, Pleasant
Baptist church in the Fair View district.
The meetings were greatly blest, the
church revived and 1 1 new members
added. The work went on despite almost
continuous snowfall and about three feet
of snow.
The Fair View district Is notable for its
morality and religious interests. But
possibly the most notable fact is its
abounding young life. Children flourish.
Twenty-three babies under 3 years old
were regular attendants upon the revival
meetings, and strange to say were order
ly and attentive.
The leader in the religious life of the
community is Mr. Joseph Scott, who with
his large family settled around him, is
ready for every good work,
Mr. Gibson will fill his pulpit tomorrow.
TO THINK ABOUT
He who squanders health is the spend
thrift of happiness.
All medicine in the world cannot be
substituted for exercise.
Skilled Osteopaths not only cure and
prevent disease, but they teach the art
of keeping well.
Osteopathic treatment never forces but
removes barriers from natures pathway.
If you would escape the annual attacks
of hay fever and asthma, anticipate the
season by beginning osteopathic treatment
which will remove the cause of over sen-
sative nerves.
Save your kidneys and heart through
Osteopathic treatment and thus avoid
dropsy, co istipation, rheumatism and
other ills. .
For 12 years Osteopathy skillfully ap
p'ied. has been transforming .broken down
nerves and mental wrecks into sound,
healthy and vigorous type of manhood
and womanhood.-
An old time saying. "It takes a rogue to
catch a rogue, applies to internal drug
ging. The rogue is seldom, if ever caught
and the sufforer is burdened with two
rogues instead of ens to hamper nature In
recovery.

City mining man. came down last night
