tion thus :
Erii'.av uitiht being (be fourth anni
versary of the orchestra. Mrs, Appelhoff,
sesisted by the ladies of her music class
gave the members a right royal recep
tion. There were besides, a goodly
number of invited guests, and the pro
gramme which was well rendered af
forded delightful entertainment. There
was a alight variance, from that in
tended, as little Ruth Gibson, whom so
many wished to see preside al the piano
was too ill to be present, and Miss Bit
xer's absence on account of her mother's
illness. But otherwise the musical dis
courses of the orchestra, the solos,
ducts and tiioa by tbe different per
formers were highly appreciated and
gave evidence of being well mattered.
The sandwiches, coffee and cake given
as a finale was much enjoyed, and while
indulging, one conld not withhold the
praises due Mrs. Appelhoff, not only
for her generous hospitality, but for the
strenuous efforts she has msdo to culti
vate tbe taste for the better class of
music in our city. Sara Fkkd.

The farmers of this section are "get

anticipating good prices for next year's
crop.
If Providence will "hold up" the
showers due India, Australia, and Ar
gentina, the Oregon farmer will be
strictly in it. Good crops with fair
prices, would furnish a solution to tho
money famine that would knock all tho
araumoutoof the so-called populist re
formers "out of Bight." Indeed judging
from remarks of prominent populists of
this sect ion, tha pops at Salem havo
elven thair constituents about all they
want already. Civil Bend will no longer

Reeidents of the territory down on the

other, aod that it is impossible for tbe
smaller children of school sge to attend

months past a private school has been

with Superintendent Douglas Waite,
but a vigorous remonstrance, it ia raid,
will be aent in from the old districts.
