evening to take part in the lodge social
that had been, previously announced.
The early part of the evening was spent
in eyciai converse until ttio program
committee was ready to proceed, and
then a short but very fine program was
presented, Walter Reavis acting as chair
man. The first number was a piano solo
by Mrs. Varney, rendered in that lady's
best style. The recitation bv Mabel Allen
was the description of a missionary lady
calling on her friend for subscription
toward the work of sending help to th
heathen. She is met by the friend'

and the purchases had been claimed by

of the finest lunch you can -imagine,
which each lady had provided ior her

Everybody 6eemed happy, and after
eating their lunch enjoyed the rest of

"The Dalles and Goldendale ' Trana-
,portation Co.'l is the name of a new or
ganization evolved from the wagon train

izens recently by Mr. L. H. Campbell.
This gentleman has been very energetic
n attending to the details of the forma
tion of such a company, and his perse
verance and faith in its practical adapt
ibility has been crowned with success.
. Enough men of means now share his
j opinion to warrant articles of incorpora

and they were filed at the clerk's office
this afternoon. They contain the names
of J. W. French, A. S.' Mac Allister and

' Spraying Apple Trees.
The poison generally used is the com-
mon dilution of Paris green and a little !

and riot be washed off soon by rains. It
Is also the best thing there is for. fungus
growth. There is not much use of try
ing to raise fruit now without spraj'ing,
as the bugs are almost certain to kill it.
Olten one spraying will accomplish the
I work, but if rains wash it off it is better

Souud Money.
The best time to spray apple trees is
joet after the blossoms fall, and while
the blossom end of the young apple
stands up. The sorav' of Doison then
falls into the blossom end of the apple
wftere the miller lays its egg, and when
the egg hatches and the worm frrxta ta
feeding on the fruit it gets a dose ot
poison wun tne urst mouthful, and that
kills it and saves the frnit. That is the
whole secret of the success of spraying.
Judge H. H. Northup of Portland was
listened to by a large audience at the
court house lastevening.' He announced
his platforni to be sound money, protec
tion, the restriction of foreign immigra
tion and an open river from the Inland
Empire to the sea. - Judge Northup's
utterances bear the impress of sincerity.
He is of the opinion that free, coinage of
silver will be a calamity that if adopted
will be most generally deplored. It will
drive gold. out of circulation, because it
will then be the more valuable metal.
He is therefore the true bi-metallist and
the silver champions are the mono-
ni--tallists. Hu exposed the plan of
minority in the senate to block tariff
legislation until the financial question
is settled, and believes the American
people are therefore forced to pronounce
first upon it. Another principle of im
portance advocated by Judge Northup
was the restriction of foreign immigra
tion, and his remarks on that score
seemed to be uniyersally appreciated
His speech throughout was received
with marked attention, very few leaving
the hall during his address of nearly two
hoars' length. Many who could not find
seats stood up during tne whole even
ing. Judge Northup' was followed
in a short speech by Mr. Lydell Baker,
who is a fluent speaker and orator, and
who entertained and gave expression to
the same views aa Judge Northup.
