WHEAT BUT SLIGHTLY DAMAGED
Farmer coming to town ' from the
north today say that the only damage to
the wheat crop at a result of the storm
will occur on high placet where the wind
hlew the enow off and left the wheat ex
posed to the cold nights. Otherwise the
crop is uninjured. Tne entire wheat
belt was full of moisture on account of
the heavy rains before the storm and
consequently the freeze will not hurt
wheat that is not exposed. East Ore-goniant

A GRAM BALL :
The seventh annual ball, given last night
by the B. of L. T. in the Commercial Club
was one of the very enjoyable affairs of
the season. The decorations were of the
most artistic and elaborate order and
reflect great credit upon the decorators,
Messers Chas. G. Stacy, C. C. Hamilton
and J. F. Hickey. Distributed through
the hall were 12S lanterns of green,
yellow and white colors; 100 green, 60
yellow and 60 white flags;' 10 large
mirrors and many hundred yards of bunt
ing which gave the room the appearance,
of a fairy palace. At the west end of the
hall there was a representation of a
tunnel with train No. 315 just disappear
ing into it a brakeman standing with his
lantern near its entrance a notice posted
near where he stood which read "Ladies
must not flirt with this brakeman," and
on the opposite side of the tunnel were
these words "No S 1 6 will stop one hour
for supper at Spokane Cafe. The music
wis all that could be desired and the
"tripping of the light fantastic" lasted
into the "wee sma" hours," and it was
pronounced by all present a most delight
ful and enjoyable affair.
