One of the most enjoyable social
occasions held by, the Elks lodge in
many months was he full dress ball
given Monday night which was the
big holiday event of Elkdom. The at
tendance' was large and the evening
so thoroughly enjoyed that a vote of
the entire party was taken before the
midnight on the question of making
such occasions bi-monthly events in
the future. Unanimous expression in
favor of the motion prevailed and
hereafter . the Elks will pull off two
high grade parties during the month.
'Seldom has any town of La
Grande's size, or even larger, wit
nessed such a fine gathering where ex
cellent music, beautiful settings, per
fect lighting and well dressed people
prevailed so strongly as that of Mon
day evening.
Among the out-of-town guests pre
sent were C. N. Stackland of Cove,
Hebert Hare, Miss Elenore Nodine,
John Jacobs and wife, and Mr. and
Mrs. Havana all of Union John Wells

As a watch party to welcome in the
New Year Pat Foley's dinner dance
given at the Foley grill last night
proved t be a very pleasant occasion.
The grill was so arranged that one
half was reserved for dancing while
the other half was used by the guests
1 a most pleasant and informal way.
Cards were played until a late hour
when a three-course) luncheon was
served. At play high scores went to

A great deal of Interest is being
taken in Al Jennings as shown at the
Arcade theatre tonight for the last
night. The story is the life of this
famous prisoner who a few months
ago ran for governor in his own state,
with his prison career known to all.
The Arcade patrons like the story
the film part is good and the tale in
tensely instructive and uplifting.
Ladies Like A!
Judging from the large attendance
of ladies present at the showing of
"Beating Back" it would seem that Al
Jennings one time bandit now evang
list, is in high favor with the gentler
sex. Many people believing Mr. Jen
nings to be a big man are greatly sur
prised to hear that the man who stir
red up so much commotion in Indian
Territory in the early days Is only
five feet tall, weighs one hundred
and twenty pounds, wears a number
four shoe, and has a voice like velvet.
The clear cut countenance with the
massive jaw mark him as a man of
strong character and will
asset. That self study and self train
ing should be taught early in l.fo.
That crime is always punished, that a
clean life -is Hs own reward. There
are many tense moments in this six
loci version of Al Jennings life story,
and the moral is for old as well as
young. "Beating Back" will be con
tinued at the Arcade. ':
