Evening. .
A fall orchestra will furnish the music

The weather bureau reports for to
morrow rain and stationary tempera

spring, in spite of the foot-and-a-half of
snow.

"i.ne uolden Uiant " at the opera
house, Monday night. Reserved seats
at Blakeley & Houghton's.
The ice gorge that has blocked the
river here for the past week, moved out
this morning. The warm weather,
aided perhaps by a slight rise in the
river, gave it a start in the right di
rection.
Last night in spite of the rain several
parties were oat sleighing. It looked
odd to see the fiery steeds dash by to the
music of the bells, while the gay riders
sported umbrellas and a do-you-calch-
on-to-the-style-of-us smile.

The Umzooee Whist Club was enter
tained Thureday evening at the home of
Mrs. Wilson. After the young people
had decided who had the most points at
whist, the chairs were pushed back and
an impromptu dance was held, lne
next meeting will be held Friday even
ing.
The young people's literary society
will resume their regular meeting next
Monday evening. The regular program
will be gone through with. Quotations

a large attendance and many new mem
bers enrolled. The meeting will be held
in the Methodist church basement.
Commencing Monday night Mr. and
Mrs. R. E. French will play a three
night's engagement at the opera house,
the play for Monday night being that
popular production of the clever Clay M.
Greene, "The Golden Giant." Our citi
zens had the pleasure of seeing this
troupe a short time ago, in "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde," and will remember Mr.
French as an actor of wonderful power.
Reserved seats at Blakeley & Houghton's.
A. Scouring Mill.
There will be a public meeting at the
court house this evening at 7 :30 for the
purpose of discussing the proposition of
Mr. Shaw to erect a ecouring mill here.
It is of the utmost importance that
manufacturing industries be inaugu
rated here, and every citizen should at
tend the meeting. Mr. Shaw will make
his proposition, and that there may be
no misunderstanding concerning it,
every man should hear it for himself.
As we understand Mr: Shaw's proposi
tion, it is an unusually fair one. Be
sides,, it is not only the scouring mill,
but as one industry naturally leads to
another, in encouraging it we are pav
ing the way for others equally as import'
ant. The past few months has wit
nessed the building of a cannery and a
cold storage plant is being perfected
The assurance ot a scouring mill would
round ont the winter's improvements in
good shape, and if we will develop a lit
tie energy and public spirit we can see
this accomplished.

Mitchell Notes.
A happy New Year to you, and a con
tinuation of all the good things of last
year and as many more as can come.
Already we have received blessings in
the way of excellent weather. Some
snow has fallen, but is gone almost as
soon as here. We have had a few nights
that have been a little pinching, suffi
cient to freeze over the still waters of
the creek and to entirely freeze the
John Day in some places to such a
strength as to bear sheep in crossing
them. But at present a Chinook has
been lending us its good cheer, and now
the ground is almost bare as far as can
been seen from here. New Year's day
was especially splendid, but the' 2d was
one of the worst days of my experience.
Snow and wind seemed to be in a rage
and intent on covering up or blowing
away anything in their way. The next
morning there was something near six
inches of snow; but it soon melted
away by the soft breath from' the west.
New Year's could not be passed over
unless someone must suffer some afflc-
tioh.

Mr. Collins is one of our best
carpenters, and his misfortune is a little
drawback, but if he must tip the cups
of satan's draught he must expect
broken legs, and mayhap a neck.
The New Year's ball was a success,
although the attendance was small.
Everyone enjoyed themselves, especi
ally at supper, which was well I
heard someone say it was splendid, and
I'think it must have been, for I was
there and I ate well I think I ate too
much of everything on the table, for the
next morning I was down on my back
part of the time, and part of the time on
my stomach groaning trom a bilious at
tack. It was not the supper, oh no!
You know I, could not be such a pig as
that ; but I was really sick, sick enough
to require a powder from the doctor,
and that is sick enough. Yes, the sup
per was very good.
One of onr New Year's blessings is in
the fact of Mrs. Dr. Houck conval
escing from a series of complaints that
kept her confined to her room for about
two weeks. And another, which I hope
will prove advantageous to the goers

The purpose was accomplished by two
to one.
A dispute came np between two
minds, names I do not know, concern'
ing a horse trade, which Seas empha

Allen, and settled by a fine.
- The death of Mrs.'O. S. Boardman at
6 o'clock New Year's morning caused
great Bensation,;as. well as heartfelt sor
row. She had been sick but a few days
and ' the general opinion was that she
was much better. No woman near here
