Christmas at 15-Mile.
Lower 15-Milb, Jan. 3, 1894.
Editor Chronicle:
Seeing accounts of the holiday festiv
ities in other localities and as there has
been quite a number of entertainments
in this neighborhood, with your kind
permission we will chronicle a few of
them. On Saturday evening, Dec. 23d,
the pupils of the Fairfield school, under
the able management of their teacher,
Miss E. House, gave a literary entertain
ment consisting of speaking, vocal and
instrumental music and Christmas tree.
The recitations were all well spoken,
and the songs by the school were very
nice and well sung, and some of the
pupils displayed considerable talent,
especially Miss Lena Henrici in her reci
tation of "The Christmas Tree at Fair
field," Miss Grace Holgate on "Chew
ing Tobacco and Swallowing the Juice,"
which would have done credit to profes
sionals, and little Viola Young, a tot of
four years, came out with -a smile and
spoke in so clear a tone she could be
beard in all parts of the room. But it
is impossible to mention all.
Outside of the school, those who con
tributed not a little to the enjoyment of
the evening, were Lloyd Bolton in his
German accented recitation of "Red
Pepper-Sauce Tomatoes," which was
very amusing. T. Will man sang a comic
song entitled the "Tippary Christening,'
which was applauded until he returned
and repeated the chorus, and his recita
tion of "Shamus O'Brien," an Irish
patriotic selection, held the house in
silence until its cloee, when the cheers
were loud and long. Mr. L. Farrington
recited a poem from Longfellow in a very
pleasing manner, which was a pleasant
contrast to the comical, parts, and I am
sure those present will ever remember
the evening as one of ihe most pleasant
of their lives. .
On Christmas night there was a dance
at the residence of Dell Wilder. . There
were eighteen couples present, beside
Beveral gentlemen without partners.
Mr. T. W. says it is all right if he did
get cheated out of his partner, he would
not be sandwiched. The music was
furnished by Messrs. Stone and Ruark of
The Dalles. Every one enjoyed them
selves and went home well pleased,
There were also the same night a Christ
mas tree at the residence of J. Penning
ton and a dance at the residence of Mr.
Egbert ; but as I was "not present at
either, can only say the report is a very
nice time, and at Mr. Egbert's they bad
a beautiful tableau of the Sandwich Iel
ands.
On New Year's night a party of ten
couples, with several extra gentlemen
aseembled at the residence of Mr,
C. C. EngliBh and enjoyed a most
pleasant evening visiting and dancing
Music by Mr. Ruark of The Dalles and
G. Haskell of Celilo. The Inclement
state of the weather prevented some
ladies from attending, but those who
were there all enjoyed themselves. One
pleasant feature of our dances is the able
management and calling of Mr. A. Wil
son, whose equal cannot be found in
this county. And another pleasure is
1894
the absence of intoxicating drinks.
The Misses Carrie and Jennie Young
are visiting friends in this neighborhood.
This is all the events that have trans
pired lately, but more are expected. So
if you excuse the length of this, and
find room for it' outside the waste
basket, if any one is bora or gets mar
ried or dies, perhaps you may hear from
me again. Lew.
Intricate Questions.
A few weeks since Inventor Edison,
wishing to ascertain the cubic contents
of an incandescent lamp, submitted the
problem to his corps of assistants, among
whom were several mathematical ex
perts. They devoted about half a day,
submitting answers . from time to time
only to be told they were wrong. Fi
nally the "Wizard" unscrewed the cap,
filled the lamp with water and poured it
into a graduated cup. "There, gentle
men, is the correct answer," he said,
pointing to the notch indicated by the
water line. The above story illustrates
a principle, that there are simple ways
to do things which may apparently seem
difficult, or that there are more ways to
kill a dog than choking him to death.
Coming nearer home, there are more
ways' to keep the rock crusher boiler
from bursting by a freeze than to keep
a fireman on the grounds poking in
wood and keeping the water hot. A
si m pier way is to exhaust tbe boiler of
its water, and when in the course of two
or three weeks, after the cold snap, it is
desirable to start it up again, it takes
but a very few minutes to refill it. The
engine will not be used today and to
morrow anyway, and it will pay to
adopt this course even for that length
of time.
Revival Meetings.
Commencing Sunday, Jan. 7th, special
revival meetings will be held at the
Methodist Episcopal church each even
ing, except Saturday, at 7 :30 o'clock. A
chorus choir of about thirty voices will
be an interesting - feature. All are
cordially invited.

FARMER LEGISLATION.
During the coming year theie will be an im
mense number of matters of the most vital in
terest to farmers dealt with by Congress and the
Executive Departments- at Washington. It is
highly important that tbe farmers be kept
promptly and fully informed as to what is being
planued and done affecting them at the National
Capital. They should all, therefore, take The
amkrican Farmer, which, being on tbe ground,
has better facilities than any other papers for
getting this iuformation, and devotes itself to
this duty. They will rind in it constantly a
great amount 'f valuable information thut they
can get la no other jiaper.
