The object of the association is to conduct a general warehouse ; business at some point on the Columbia river opposite Sherman county. It is proposed to 'buy and sell grain, wood coal, lumber, grain, sacks, etc. A Mimical Trwat, . , A little impromptu gathering was had at the hall' over : Mr. Nichelsen's store last evening which proved very enjoyable to those who were present. Mr.' Charles F1. Riggs, the manager of the Abbie Carrington grand opera com pany, had some friends in the - city and in order to give them a treat decided to give them an informal ,-jnusicale , and with the able assistance of Mrs. Dexter succeeded ' in- doing : so. i ,Mr. Riggs is a cornetist that ranks with Liberatta and other ' renowned "players and in the east among professionals lie is said to excel the famous Italian leader in the quality and excellence of his play ing. At ay rate Mr.- Riggs gave those assembled a rare treat in the music he played. The first piece on 'the pro gramme . was the old Irish air of "Savourneen Dheelish," which 'was so well executed that an encore was de manded . which was cheerfully given. Mrs. Dexter gave a remarkable well .ex ecuted piano solo ' next and - then "Robin Adair" was played, by- Mr. Riggs and his fair accompanist. Mrs. Mabel Riggs conferred another treat by 'the recitation of "Lasca" and as an en core gave Bert Hart's New York "Letter from the Belle of the Season." Mrs. Riggs is a fine'elecutionist and gave both reci tations with much force and dramatic energy. She has a sweet, well cultivated and modulated voice and her efforts to please were well received. Mrs. B. S. Huntington followed in a charming rendition of "Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt," sung in her pleasantest manner and best voice. Many compliments were bestowed on Mrs. Huntington and both Mr. and Mrs. Riggs said that they bad not listened to so charming a voice for a long time. Her singing was in exquisite taste and was highly appreciated. The Dalles is fortunate in having lady of her rare abilities as one of its residents. "Annie Laurie" was the closing cornet solo by Mr. Riggs, and - he and . his charming wife will be long remembered for -the pleasant manner in which they, entered some - of our appreciative citizens last evening. . Mrs. Dexter' s .playing was very fine, .taking.; as she did Mr,. Rigg's difficult music and playing it at .sight, a thing that no one but the best of musicians are competent to do. - ; '' ' ...Let lis Bsperiment. ... We have received another commuica tion from Mr. R. H. Thompson f Port land on "the single-tax question. Mr. Thompson seems to think that "all you have to do to build up the vacant . Iota of the city ia to pile up the taxes on them, because ' the owners in that case could not afford to allow 'them to remain vacant. The Chhoniclb will rise its powerful influence to have , Mr. Thomp son appointed city assessor of The Dalles if he will promise to so assess the vacant lots of the garrison property or West Dalles that the owners shall be com pelled to improve them. Rev., O, D. Taylor is just now absent in the east, but we believe he would pay a good '! stiff premium ' to have the! experiment tried on North Dalles, but if not. Mr. Thomp aon could try the experiment on Mr.. Taylor, himself J and' we,4 over this way, will look on with wonder and admiration. t J i - rrr 7- OBi'iirAl:, Kindly Word of the Late Mr. William .'-.-.- : O'Dell ,.'.... " A friend and neighbor of the late Mr. William O'Dell, of Hood River, who had known him long and intimately, bears the following testimony to his character and worth : i One rare grace he had which was to bis character what its perfume ia to the rose ; this was his affection for his fami ly. From the time 28 years ago, when he took the hand of his girl-bride, in his until the hour when he called her to him and said, "I am as dead from my waist down as I shall ever be," if the wind blew roughly on Mrs. O'Dell, it was be cause he could not belp it. As few men ever do he cherished his wife and when he could no longer work for her he spar ed her all he could. Mrs. O'Dell's loss would be unbearable but for this ; by pre cept and example he'trained five manly, christian sons to give to mother and sis ters just the care he gave. In his outward relations to be apprised of need, whether a personal friend or not, was with him to supply that need if possible. His home was open to all humanity to share such as he had. . How many dying beds he has soothed. So when he was brought home helpless and lay three weeks between life and death, there was no lack of men to .work all day anl watch as tenderly as women by his bed all night. His grateful words for his "faithful watchers" was ample recompense. . Mr. Odell's Christian light ws kindled at a Methodist camp fire in California more than 30 years ago and though dim at times never went out. For seven years since bis baptism he has lived a devoted life, testifying for Christ at every opportunity. About one and a half years ago he was elected elder in East Hood River church because he thoroughly fulfilled the requirements of 1st Timothy 3 :1 to 7. ' As he lay at Dufur able to move one band, to those who came to see him, rough men and Christians, he testified of the grace of God as no minister could have done. That was his Beulah land and .the Delectable ..Mountains from whence this VHappiestMan," saw Heav en and tpade" others see it too.' There love contrived a way to bring him home. There for three days Death's River threw him up above its billows and dashed him down again until his heart and his flesh failed him but still his anchor "held within the vail " for it grappled the "Rock of Ages.".' : j . .', , So his eldest son or some christian friend would, repeat a verse of the Word or breathe a prayer and then he would lie at ease. So for a week and then he got clear vision of the glory and, as it says in the Pilgrim '8 Progress, " After that the en emy was as still as a stone until he was gone over," In that last week he tried to sing : " In the cross I 'glory." jAnd when they asked him "why," he said " I have seen the most beautiful garden ever I saw and I never was so happy in my life," so as he had , foretold them " I shall just go to sleep," and peacefully he went that ere one watcher could scarce say to another " he is going." ! Lo! he was gone. Gone ! Out of the body that had the cancer, out'of the body that was paraly zed, starved and tired to death, his last wish granted, " Gone home" to be with the Lord. " Evil things " all past and he is V comforted," and now is come true. Rev. 2 :7. 8. S. Who She ,1s.

The woeful expression of a Des Moinea teamster's countenance showed his deep anxiefjr'was not entire lv without cause, when he inquired of a druggist of the same city what was best to give a baby for a cold? It was not ne cessary for'him to say more, his counte nance showed that the pet of the family, if not the idol. of his life was in distress. "We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," wa8 the druggist's answer. "I don't like to give the baby such strong, medicine," said the teamster. You know John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug gist. "His baby ,! when eighteen months old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and drank the whole of it. Of course it made the . baby vomit very freely but did not injure it in the least, and what. is more, it cured the ba by's cold. .
