Mrs. Sinnott had invited a large number of young people to meet her nephew, Mr. Frank J. Sinnott of Portland, who is visiting in The Dalles. The house is an excellent one for entertaining, and the efforts of tbe hostess and her daugh ter, Mrs. Fish, to make their guests feel at ease were happily successful, and the hours sped away so quickly that midnight came and went before any one realized that it was getting late. The early part of the evening T was pent in conversation and social games, (after which the prizes were awarded to he successful and unsuccessful contest ants. Mr. G. W. Phelps was the fortu- ate winner of the first prize, while Miss 'redden and Mr. Fritz W. Wilson, after desperate struggle, captured the booby trophies. - This was tbe firBt of the summer par ties, and if the "social season is to be judged by the event of last night, the summer will be a very pleasant one to the young people of The Dalles. The young ladies, all dressed in light colors, looked especially bewitching. After same dainty refreshments, served at small tables, the guests were treated to musical ' selections, all of which were very well rendered.- Mr. G. W. Crossen sang a solo, "Answered," after which Mr. N. J. Sinnott favored the audience with the selection "I Fear No Foe in Shining Armor." ; Miss Myrtle Michell rendered the pretty song The Sweetest. Story Ever Told.", Mr. Frank Sinnott sang the piece entitled Afterwards."

Mays was unable to come in from-the country. After some routine business Mr. Nolan moved that a dividend of 10 per cent, be' declared upon all capital stock.
