In spite of attractions elsewhere, the
lecture Tuesday night at the Congrega
tional church was well attended. Pro
fessor Lloyd of Pacific University occu
pied the rostrum, and after being intro
duced in a few well chosen words by Mr.
Curtis, began his lecture on "Clams."
The discourse was quite a technical one,
but no less interesting and a new line of
thought was opened to the minds of
those present. By the aid of charts.
Professor Lloyd explained the structure
of the clam gave a clear account of the
working of its organs and told of its
habits. Mr. Lloyd is a very pleasing
speaker, saying what he has to say in a
simple, unaffected manner. Everyone
who listened to " Professor Lloyd, felt
that he was an unusually exact scholar
and well versed in the branch of knowl
edge which ho taught. At the close of
the discourse, questions were asked the
lecturer and many took advantage of
looking at some microscopic specimens
which Prolessor Lloyd had prepared.
The npxt lecture in the course will occur
Jan. 7, 1896, when Hon. D. P. Thomp
son of Portland will speak on "The
Holy- Places of Palestine."
A Concert Last Night.
A'concert was given last evening in
the .Methodist church, at which a very
entertaining program was given. Afier
the musical and literary exercises were
through, a bountiful supper was eerved
iu the basement of the church. The at
tendance was not as large as.it should
have been owing to the attractiveness of
the program, but those who were pres
ent made up in appreciation what they
lacked in numbers. Following is the
program:

COLUMBIA HOSE
COMPANY,
Entertain Tbelr Friends Most Hojspitn-
bly A Grand Event.
The scene at the armory New Year's
eve was a brilliant one. Society turned
out in full force to partake of the Co
lumbia Hose Company's hospitality, and
from 9 o'clock till after 1, the floor was
a veritable kaleidoscope with changing
shades of light and dark, the young
ladies looking resplendent in dreseesof
light colors, while the young gentlemen
looked their best in the regulation black.
Th6 hall was elegantly decorated. From
each electric light draped the company's
colors, white and blue. Upon the stage
two ladders placed at. right angles
forced a support for the canvas covering
which made an enclosure for the orches
tra. The artistic effect was pretty, while
the tent-like arrangement acted as a
sounding board for the music, and made
it sound clear and strong in all parts of
the hall. A diminutive fireman and
hose cart, neatly constructed under the
supervision of Ernest Jensen, added to
the interest of the decorations. Mr.
Jensen deserves much praise for labor
performed in the decoration, as do also
other members of the company, names
too numerous to mention.
At 9 o'clock the grand march, led by
Mr. J. II. AYorseley and Mrs. E. C.
Price began, a long line of couples fol
lowing the dancers through the changing
figures. When the grand march was
over, the lancers began, and from that
lime on, the dancing kept up steadily,
with brief resting spells, till the early
morning hours. The spirit of a good
lime was in the air. Many ladies went
to the hall only as spectators, but 'soon
they were dancing like those who had
come with that declared purpose. The
city would have to be a large one, and
the occasion extraordinary, which would
have produced a more brilliant spectacle
than the one witnessed from the stage
Tuesday evening. It could easily
told that the evening was a deligl
one Dy the way in which the partici
pants remained. Not until the niusi
cians played the last piece, was there a
movement towards leaving, and than it
was done reluctantly.
To the committee on arrangement
much credit should be given for the sue
ceas of the evening. Every appoint
ment had been looked after carefully,
and the comfort and pleasure of the
guests considered above all else. Tbo
members of the Columbia Hose- com
pany can feel gratified at the outcome of
their attempt at entertaining and when
ever another ColumMa ball id an
nounced, it will recall tho one given
Tuesday evening, and a repetition be as
sured. eoldN

Vbuciint'es trnttTcltme bsfore the
council was the petition of A S Bennett
asking that the alley which separates A,
B, C, D, and I, J K and. L of - block 61,
in the Fort Dalles Military Reservation,
be vacated. The petition recites that
the petitioner is tho owner ou both
sides of the alley, and as the alley hat
never been opened, and cannot be
opened without great expense, the petiv
tioner asks that it be vacated, giving
as a further reason that he desires to
build upon the center of tho property.
On motion of Mr. Nolan the petition
was referred to the committee on streets
and public property, with instructions
to report at the next regular meeting.
As this was the time for tho present
ing of petitions for liquor licensee, re
quests were received from Maetz &
Pundt, Stnbling & Williams, J O Mack,
F W Sllvertooth, Andrew Baldwin,
Chas Frank, E Lemke, T J Nicholae, A
Kellar.'Ben Wilson, F W L Skibbe, Dan
Baker, Sinnott & Fish. As there were
no objections, the council ordered that
the recorder be instructed to issue li
censes to the respective petitioners.
As this completed tho business for
which the meeting was calied, the coun
cil adjourned amid mutual wishes for
a Happy New Year. . New Year's day
brings no changes in the membership
in the council.
