Last Sunday Rev. J. H. Hazel, of the

That plan is changed, however, and he
will conduct services next Sunday at the
usual time and place.

In a notice in yesterday's Chronicle
a mistake was made, which was ana us
ing, but not harmful. In speaking of
Effiie Ellsler's performance - in Portland
of "Aa Yon Like It'.' and the Orego
nian's Write-up of her performance,
thinga got mixed and the criticism of
"Camille" followed the caption of "Aa
You Like It." But aa the mistake waa
extensively noticed and attention there'
by called-to the coming performance of
Miss Ellsler, the interests of the play
received a better advertisement.
The committee' of the Commercial
Club trustees which has in charge the

lar to that in the .Multnomah Athletic
Club of Portland. ' Work wilj be begun
upon the active construction of the alley

laudable effort in' securing a high grade

thia reason the pieces presented by the
Ellsler company cannot fail to please.

Articles oi incorporation were meu
with the county clerk today by the
Hosier Mercantile Co. This is a con
cern formed to carry on a general mer
chandise business at Mosier to erect
buildings, buy and sell real estate and-
do whatever else ia necessary to the
proper conducting of a country store.
Amos Root, R. E. Hard wick and George
Sellinger are the incorporators, the capi
tal stock being $2000, divided into shares
of 410 each. With the opening of the
silica mines at Mosier and the starting
of a new store, our neighboring hamlet
ia in a fair way to boom.
All Taxpayers Should Attend.
On next Friday afternoon will occur
the meeting of legal voters in thia school
district. Though all meetings of this
5
kind are important, the coming one is
especial interest to the taxpayers.
Then will be decided the tax to be levied
for the year, and if there ia anything of
more Importance, juat at thia time, than
the amount of taxes our citizens have to
pay, we would like to know what it ia.
For some reason or other the assessed
valuation of property in the district is
smaller this year than it waa last, and a
larger levy will have to be made to ob
tain the same amount of revenue.
. The question of providing an addi
tional building for the district will also
come before the meeting. In any con
tingency the taxpayers will be called
upon for an additional sum for thia pur
pose. Whether a brick or wooden build
ing ia erected, or temporary quartera
rented, the decision should be made by
a meeting where the taxpayers are well
represented. Up in La Grande they
have been having trouble in getting the
taxpayers to attend the Echool 'meeting,
and the Chronicle of that city very ju8tly
complains of the lack of interest, in an
article which the East Oregonian re
prints under the caption of "The Same
Here." Let not The Dalles be open to
the eame criticism as that made by the
La Grande paper in the following : :
It seems almost incredible that a spe
cial school meeting called for the pur
pose of levying a tax for school purposes
in a district that baa almoet one thous
and persons of echool age and which
pridea itself on the efficiency of its
school management, should attract but
six voters. Yet that was the case with
the special school meeting for this dis
trict which was. held Thursday after
noon. The people of La Grande have
never faltered in providing the best in
the way of school maintenance. Money

required for school pnrposea has been
voted and expended without a murmur
in seasons of adversity as well aa pros
perity. And to this fact may probably
be ascribed the lack of interest in the
special meeting. ' .
Bon. li. P. Thompson's Lecture,
Every seat in the Congregational
church waa occupied last evening, the
large audience being gathered to listen
to the lecture of Hon. D. P. Thompaon
upon "The Holy Places of Palestine."
Mr. Thompson baa Bpoken in The DalleB
before, and the assemblage of people who
greeted him. last evening showed the
appreciation in which he ia held aa a
lecturer.
In a few well-chosen worda Mr. J.
M. Patterson introduced the speaker of
the evening, Mr. Thompson prefaced
his remarks by Baying that what he was
going to say was more in the nature of a
"talk" than a lecture, as it consisted of
personal observations, and was not ency
clopedic in nature. ' He began by briefly
describing the tnp'on the Mediterranean
down the shore of Palestine, ' past the
once opulent cities of Tyre and Sidon,
now little. more ttan a memory, their
harbors full oi sand. Mr. Thompson
and hie party landed first at Yafa the
port in ancient daya called Jaffa. Here
the steamer waa left and the travelera
began their journey through Palestine,
visiting the most famous of its holy
places. Mr. Thompson in his address
made apt quotations from biblical lore,
and connected the places he was de
Bcribing with the events narrated in the
Old and New Testament. HiB remarks
.about Jerusalem were especially inter
esting, and some touches of humor now
and then added to the pleasure of the
audience.
Few men 'have the happy gift of nar
rative telling like that possessed by Mr.
Thompson, and the close attention given
by the audience waa the best mark of
appreciation.. Among his hearers were
a number of high school students. Prof.
Gavin having wisely recommended them
to attend. . . .
The lecture waa one of the most inter
eating ever given in the city, and the
ladiea of the church who arranged the
course, and the audience who listened to
hia worda, feel very grateful to Mr,
Thomppon for the trouble be took to
give them a pleasant evening.
