An amusing incident happened at a
social party recently , held in The Dalles.
The dramatis personam were, a pair of
former lovers and: a vocalist. The erst
while beau requested the singer to favor
the company with "There's Only One
Girl in the World for Me." "Oh, no,"
said the young lady, "please sing 'Take
Back the Engagement Ring.' " '. The
hopeful gleam immediately deserted the
eyes of the old lover, and they compro
mised on "Then You'll Remember Me."
The Walla Walla Loan and Trust Co.
wrote a letter recently to the water com
missioners here asking them if they kept
up with the interest on the water bonds,
and if not what they did in the matter.
The answer might truly have been that
hey not only met the interest, but the
rincipal, and loaned money to banks be-
ides. Dalles City water bonds are
away above par at tbe present time, and
water rents are more reasonable than
anywhere else too. .
The .Only Difference.
The only difference between imported

A COLLISION AVERTED.
. f
A Trifling Accident Prevents tbe Regolt
of an Operator's Carelessness.
A serious "collision was averted early
this morning between two freight train
by what would seem to be an interposi
tion of Providence. The usual feature
were all present a sleeping operator,
two trains going toward each other at
full speed, and the time honored curve
around a mountain. Freight train No.
22 east-bound was to meet freight No. 21
west-bound and pass at Hood River.
The operator at Troutdale was to in
struct the conductor of No. 22 of the fact,
but he failed. He fell asleep at his post,
and No. 22 passed Hood River directly
heading for No. 21 at full speed on the
same track and between stations, with
no one on earth to warn either of tbe
impending disaster. Fortunately for the
trainmen of both trains (No. 22 being a
double header) . the pin connecting
the eDgines broke, forcing tbe front en
gine to forge ahead at an unwonted
speed. It passed the dangerous curve
in time to see the approaching train and
stop before a collision, otherwise the t&o
trains would have met. and there would
doubtless have been loss of life and
property.

lne nrst May party of .the season wa
elebrated yesterdavaternoon at th
sidenna of Dr. O. f! TVnlli'Htor
Kjhe occasion comfnemmorated . the
Birthday of little Florence, ayer whose
tunny head just Mx. summers have
passed. Very quaint looked the- little
guests as they arrived with their Dolly
Varden hats, lace, bonnets and Tarn
O'Sbanters, and then the disrobing.
Like bumming birds pruning their
wings, the little fairies shook out their
dainty dresses. One little sweelwcart,
the hostess, wore her bonny brown hair
in a Grecian knot adorned with pink
ribbons. Her cream-colored cashmere
fell from the daintily puffed yoke in
graceful folds. Red, brown, blue and
white were the prevailing colors worn.
Only wings were . neeQed to transform
them into verita angels, and we won
der if, beyond tbe pearly gates, more
fair or lovely could exist. Surely
sweeter laughter never was heard ; sun
nier faces never were seen, for grace and
harmony pervaded every, movement of
the bright, happy children. The supper
table was" artistically arranged with a
center piece of smilax, brightened with
pink roses and flanked by two exquisite
vases, holding white lilacs and pansies.
Six pink candles illumined the birthday
cake, while hand-painted bon bon boxes,
tied with pink ribbon and filled with
choice candy, was placed before each.
There were pink napkins and pink" cake
too, besides cake rabbits, d.cksand fish.
Lemonade was served in tiny glasses,
and last, but not least, ice cream. Then
came Mrs. Hogan, who photographed
the nineteen little girls out. of doors,
Standing with a back ground of vines
running over lattice work. Many and
beautiful were tne presents bestowed;
but birthday parties cannot last forever,

Horse Thieves In Union Connty. '
Union county is having an experience
with a band of horse thieves. We hope
they will be as'successful in breaking it
up as Wasco county was a few years ago
a similarly organized gang. One man. in
Union county lopt '. forty head several
days ago. Sheriff Kilboorne, of Baker
county, is reported to have been close to
the gang at a point near the Snake river,
and succeeded in scattering it. It is es
timated that about 300 stolen horses are
now being driven out of the state, and
officers are making every endeavor pos
sible to capture them. .
These Mast Go at Once.
A home with lot, worth f900; $750
takes it. Owner leaving city, and must
sell. Three lots only five blocks from
Court house. Lay in fair shape; $150
for the three. One fine business lot in
heart of city ; $800.- Among a multitude
of offerings, these three are the very
best. Match them if you can.
