Municipal Auditorium.
f
Tho Dalles recently opened an ele
gant municipal auditorium. It is in
the heart of that city and cost the
people right at ?l:"0,t)00. Containing
a modern theatre und u dance hll of
large dimensions, a headquarters tor
the American Legion and several
other rooms anil departments for civic
bodies, it is of course tho city's social
center.
The idea is excellent. Elgin, Ore
gon, -was the first town in the North
west to do such a thing. That was
when Mi1. iWuithorspoon was mayor
and he received the criticism ot ..
community while it was building, but
gracious thanks since it was complet
ed, for it affords Elgin a meeting
place that she formerly did not have.
And It will be so with The Dalles.
Wo doubt if there was nny criticism
expressed in The D.illes for that city
is old and rich and a small property
tax for such nn institution is not felt
bo keenly there.
At the opening nf The Dalles fine
building Mayor Staddleman had the
military band from Vancouver bar
lacks and representatives Irom dif
ferent communities of the northwest
as guests of the city. A program wtin
rendered in' the cvenir. which waa
dedicatory in nature, followed by a.
community hall which was enjoyed by
hundreds of people.
Ijiter that evening Mr. and Mrs.
Pat Koley gave a dinner for a num
ber of the out of town guests at tne
hotel nnd it was nn event of social
importance to the city.
Ilehind the beautiful auditorium
which has aiisen to serve the people
of Wasco county is the spirit of pat
riotism for the idea wns conceived n
a monument of appreciation to lhv
soldiers who fought from Wasco coun
ty in the lute war. With t'lis senti
ment to always remind and refreshen
the memory the auditorium is indeed
an institution that is close to th
hearts of the people of that part of
the state.
o
Constant Vigilance) Needed.
On Friday I.a Grande will entertaii'
n number of the officials of the for
est service, both state sind federal.
Their mission heie is to determine
the best course to puisne in the grcal
campaign of icforesting tlu cut-over
legions to the end that the west will
not fare as did the east and north,
namely when the forests of toda
have been worked into lumber there
will be no glowing trees to leplcnUh
that, element which is so much needed.
The meeting will be held in th'
city hall and it will be open to the
public. Anyone with an idea on th.
work will be welcomed. Another fea
ture that nets veiy close to home is
the Inn limn of waste in the f.ire.-.t..,

. (Wi'i-riiing the "Armstrong Slmc
"ARMSTRONG" footwear for women are undoubtedly tho finest we hawe ever
offered. 'The selection of leathors for such shoes Is a highly elective: prootss and
onfy the choicest grades are chosen. Price means nothing here' unless there Is
merit beliin'ik the offering.
All ARMSTRONG, shoes are carefully balanced, h uul-histed and hand-sewn.
Fine shoes ot this character are not made hurriedly or rushed upon the market
to meet any spontaneous demand. They ure always the perfect presentation and
perfection is never ensily attained.
Though "ARMSTRONG" shoes may often cost more to begfci with, they ure
worth much more. The infinitely greater mitlsfactiou that conies with shoes which
may be depended upon to a. distant day of discard, tor beauty, comfort durability
and shape retaining qualities is the reason for the preference for ARMSTRONG
preferred this season wid all seasons to all other footwear for women.
