FORI LAND, . OREGON.
Maodelbx Homk. The Magdelen
Home, which has been on East Twen
tieth and Oregon streets, Portland, for
several years past, has moved into new
and commodious quarters about a mile
north of Oregon City. The institution
has very fine buildings in the new lo
cality, and has besides considerable
grounds surrounding it. The home has
several buildings out on Oregon street,
occupying about a block of ground.
They are now deserted . It is not known
What will be done with the property.
The new location is regarded as an im
provement over the former one, says the
Oregonian. It is more retired, but is
not far from the East Side railway. The
institution accomplished much good
Work while located in Portland, which
Will no doubt be continued in the new
building.

The joint meeting of the Hesperian
and Willamette Falls societies was a
most remarkable and long to be remem
bered event in the history of those two
literary clubs. Bavdorf'a hall, the
largest public ball in the city, was filled
to its utmost capacity, 100 or more being
unable to secure seats. The two clul 1
ought well to be proud of their ability
in bringing together such an aggregation
of intelligence, wealth and culture as
assembled to greet them.
The program was well prepared and
was well received Dy tne auenuve
audience. Mr. Miller of West SideR,
R. Co. sang an inspiring solo and re
sponded to an encore. Miss Eva Kinney
recited a much appreciated declamation.
The dramatic club of Willamette Falls
exhibited their matchless ability in two
pathetic and charming dialogues. Miss
Echo Samson sang a beautiful solo.
Miss Maud Winslow delighted the
audience with a fine recitation. Miss
M. Persiful also delivered a Btiring de
clamation. The debate then took place, question,
Resolved, That Increased Wealth Does
not Benefit the Morals of the People."
The Heeperians supported the affirma

Chas. Babcock, Fred Meindleand Presi

sustained successfully and victoriously
by Messrs. Brady, Beach, Baker and
Geo. Kinney of Willamette Falls. All
the speakers spoke decisively and
logically and the vast throng showered
vociferous applause upon them. It was a
aremarkable display of machless oratory
After 'having heard a vocal selection by
the Hesperian quartette which was well
appreciated the meeting adjourned
among a volley of cheers and huzzas
