ding. Justice Fillcon has been trying a

the suit for Mr. Pope, and as the latter
did not pay, Davis brought suit against
both. The facts in the case were not de
nied, 'he only question being as to
whether Mr. Riddell could or should be
held responsible for the fees. The court
took the matter under advisement.

runaway on Second street, it starting

of tho horses got a bridle off and thon
tho fun started. There was a generous
and impartial distribution of milk, made
much more speedily' than uBiial. The
horses managed to go on opposite sides
of a tolephono polo. The damage was
slight and tho horses wero not injured.
By invitation of tho Good Intent Soci
ety "of the Methodist church the mem
bers of the Ladies' Aid Society of the
Congregational church spent yesterday
afternoon with them at the home of
Mrs. S. French, when a most delightful
time was passed. About forty-four
ladies were pesent, who being united in
such commendable work as that in
which these societies are engaged, were
more than congenial. By way of enter
tainment a list of questions bad been
prepared, and a guessing contest asto
some of the flowers which grow Mn
"Grandma's garden" took place, and
in consequence of her success in guesE
mg, Mrs. J. B. Condon was awarded a
beautiful bouquet. During the after
noon Miss Myrtle Michell sang two very
pretty solos, and later ice cream and
cake were served. When the time for
parting came, all agreed in hoping that
many union meetings would be held.
Musical Matters.
Mr. Guy Miller lias been correspond
ing with O. E. Peterson concerning that
gentleman again returning to The Dalles,
and a day or so ago received the sub
joined letter, which speaks for itself:
La Fayette, Ind., April 17, '97.
FuiENn Mili,ek :
Your letter juBt received.
I am now corresponding with a man
(a band man) who is going to start a
cigar factory somewhere in the West
and I am engaged to run it for him at a
good salary, as he is not a practical man.
He expects to employ at least five men
from the start. He is a composer and
arranger and was saxaphone BolotBt with
the Iowa State band, to you may know
he must be all right. He expects to
employ nothing but musicians. He and
his brother are going to start out next
week and hunt up a location. I will
turn him over to you and you may do
what you want to with him. I will also
recommend your town to him. His
name and address is : E. S. Thomas,
Maryville, Mo. Tho town that secures
him will be fortunate, indeed. It makes
no difference to me where he locates, I
will run the shop anyhow. His brother
would take the road is not a musician.
I should like to see you secure thi? en
terprise for The Dalles, but yon have to
offer some inducements. There are
others after him. If your Commercial
Club would offer him a small bonus 1
think you could catch him. The band
could also piy him a little during the
summer season. He does not expect
much salary, for he knows that bandH
can't pay it these times. If you offer
him $20 per month during the" concert
season it will bo enough, or say $25. He
is said to be a good director, and that
would give me a better chance to play
my part. I haye never met him person
ally. I will not be here in time to get
your reply, but you may address. 1037
Penn street, Kansas City, Mo., and it
will reach me. I go to join him in
about a week. Now if you ever got a
hustle on you in your life, do it now and
secure this enterprise. Lay it before
the Commercial Club or anybody that
lias Influence. Think of six first-class
musicians and a director for The Dalles!
Yours truly,
CJ.'A. Petkiisox.

The railroad company by its new
train schedule gives this place tho
"black eye" in good shape. The only
east-bound passenger train on which it
is possible to leave or arrive at Mosier,
passes here at 12:27 a. m., which neces
sitates an all-night vigil. The railroad
people seem determined to make the
people here patronize the river lines,
which they would surely do had wo a
good convenient boat landing. If the
boat companies would now arrange witli
our people for a lauding, they would
surely get considerable business from
this point.
Mr. Max Young of Astoria has been
looking up the silica business hero for
several days past. We hope that his
visit may result in a boom that will

Young. Messrs. Bryant and Berry are

their claim.

Mrs. J. M. Watt was taken quite sick
last night. Dr. Hollisterwas telephoned
for and came down on the morning train.
Wm. Stevenson has cleared up quite a
patch of land this spring, and is now re
modeling his dwelling on the ranch,
which would indicate that Billy has
some notion of carrying out his oft-repeated
threat of securing a "cook."
Rev. U'Ren will preach the funeral
sermon of Mrs. Reiioe next Sunday,
May 2d, at No. 8 schoolhouse.
Mre Evano, accompanied by her grand
son, Ira, started for Sumner Co. .Kansas,
last week. She expects to return to
Oregou as soon as she can arrange her
affairs in the land of cyclones.
iV son of Mr. J. W. Davis arrived last
week from Kansas. We understand Mr.
Davis will also become a resident of this
locality. We, are glad to see tho coun
try settling up with practical and expe-,
rienced young farmers, who have the
grit and stamina to go to work and clear
upas line a fruit belt as exists anywhere.
This refers to the benches along Mosier
aud Rock creeks, aud extends back from

The prospect for strawberries was
never better in this locality, and ff
