(fOCast night a dance was held in the
North Dalles corset factory building, and
jBome oi our young people decided to at
tend it. One genial young fellow In
company with a young lady, started tor
this suburban resort with the hearts of
both set on the pleasures they were
about to enjoy, but where they had
their eyes cast we do not know, as in go-
ling to their boat which was near the
Regulator wharl, they advanced too far
land with a Bplaeh, both fell into the icy
'water. As they rose to tne surface he
grasped her with one hund and a rope
which chanced to be hanging from one
side of the boat, in the other. Parties
who were neur by and heard their cries,
QBhed them out, and they were the wet
est pair of enckers that have been caught
atJlUtt-uharf for a long time.
' Pen Butty left on the early morning
train for Portland today, and rumor says
that his object in going is to purchase
Klondike supplies. Such is undoubted
ly the case, as he has been making some
.extensive preparations of late.J He has
spent hours in training his favorito dog,
"Lord Fontleroy," to drive with a jerk-'
line, and the remainder of his p pare
time was spent in looking up nice large
canines suitable for the Chilcoot. We
do not mean to say that ho swipped any
of those dogs, but we must admit that
several disappeared very mysteriously,
among them Billy Gribble's old dog,
"Shag." Of course souio unscrupulous
sausage-make may have taken them,
but the Bounds that were said to have
been heard in the Umatilla House
chicken coop a few nights since would
have been sufficient to convince the
loser where the most likely place to
Und a Chilcoot roadster would be.

THE ELKS' BALL.
The Great Social Kvent or the TVlnter--Larce
Crowd and a Fine Time.
The saying that the Elks never do
anything by halves was never better
verified than last night at the grand
charity ball. We Bpoke a few days ago
concerning the decorations, and since
that time many improvements were
made in that line, so that the hall
ottered a more beautiful appearance than
we predicted. Especially artistic was
tbq Btage decoration, the back of which
represented a forest, with elk browsing
among the -trees. The front was bor
dered with palms and potted plants,
in the center of which was a large elk's
head, while lrom each antler was hung
electric lights. In the center of the
stage was Eeated the orchestra, and
everyone present not only enjoyed the
playing, but had a pride that suchmusic
could be furnished by our home musi
cians. Many of the latest popular airs
were played, giving renewed zest to the
dancing.
The lights were, with a few excep
tions, purple, and theEoft light cast by
the many-colored globes hud a very
pretty effect.
" "Tlie" grand march commenced at a few
minutes pa'st 9, and about a hundred
couples kept time to the delightful
music played by Birgfeld's orchestra.
The march was led by Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. Blakeley, under tho stipei vision of
Mr. Phillips. jTt"wa8 bmuifully ar
ranged, andTrom beginning to end there
was not a blunder worthy of uote. The
floor was well filled with dancers, but it
could not be said that It was crowded to
tho extent that dancing was not pleas
ant; on the contrury, everyone seemed
to enjoy it to the fullest extent.
With scarcely a single exception tho
ladies who danced wero attired in beau
tiful full dress costumes, while the ma
jority of the gentlemen appeared in
evening dress, so that tho ball wua as
admirable. In this regard as in others.
It was remarkable how many who
usually do not care to dance, were so
highly enthused last night. No matter
what tho number was, whether a two
step, a waltz, a lancers or a schottische,
everyone joined in, und it wus this
spirit that mude the party tho enjoyablo
event and tho social sucde&s that It
was.
Tho Klks deseryo much credit for tho
pains they took in making the ball
what it was, and surely they must feel
more than repaid by the success of tho
party. From a financial standpoint wo
can say nothing regarding it, since no
report has yet been made; hut we can
remark emphatically that it was in
every regard u social success, and u
fluttering one.
