LAST NIGHT'S ENTERTAINMENT.
A Finn rroftrnm Ileixlnreil nt llie Opera
Houan In Honor or Our fluents.
Last night nbdut fifteen hundred peoplo
gathered at the opera hoiuu to listen to
an entertainment and camp lire in honor
of our guests; and well wero they re
paid, for a better program has not been
rendered in our city for some tliuo.
Capt. Low is introduced Gen. G. E.
Caukin as clmirmun of the ovening, and
after a selection by the orchestra, De
partment uommnnuer ilolloway gave
one of tho finest, most patriotic ad
dresses that has been delivered during
tho sessions. Ilia eulogy to tho G. A.
It. was particularly impressive.
Tho Washington drill by thirteen lit
tle boys from the school rooms of Mre.
Baldwin, Misses Flinn and Phirman,
dressed in colonial costumes, fairly took
tho audience by storm. As the orches
tra gave the final strains of a patriotic
air, fourteen little Martha Washingtons
marched out and sang "America, My
Native Land," and their illustrated rec
itation, which followed, was remarkable
for the expression given. The final
drill by the Georges and Marthas to
gether was perfect.
Next came a recitation, "The Flag,"
by Miss Jones, of La Camas, who is the
daughter of an old veteran. This num
ber was well received.
Then came a tableau by about twenty
young ladies from Miss Michell's
room in tho public Echool, "The
Star Spangled Banner," the solo of
which was sung behind the scenes.
Miss Mabel Cross represented the god
dess, while the rest ol the young ladies
were grouped gracefully around.
Last year Mrs. Mamie Wagley Briggs
was made "daughter of the regiment"
tor the department, and last night Rev.
G. W. Grannis, of Salem, in a very
witty and eloquent address, presented
her with a badge of honor on behalf of
the department. Mrs. Briggs responded
in her usual happy and appropriate
manner.
A patriotic quartet by Messrs. Gott
fried, Giffbrd, French and Lundell, was
beautiful and delighted everyone.
Comrade H. V. Gates then responded
to "Tho Old Boys in Blue" in a short
speech; but one which awakened many
memories in the hearts of the veterans.
The audience was next favored with a
recitation by one who wbb some years
ago a great favorite with a Dalles audi
ence Mrs. Maude Eddon. She was
enthusiastically received, and in ajman
ner which was, if possible, improved,
recited "Reginald Betore the Roman
Senate."
At the risicg of the curtain on the
tableau "Tenting on the Old Camp
Ground," the applause was long and
loud. The scene was one of a camp
ground, anu EOlaiers seated round u
fire. One of the soldiers Prof. Lan
ders sang the solo and his comrades
joined iu the chorus. As the strains of
'Dying tonight on the old camp ground'
were sung, a wounded soldier, repre
sented by M. T. Nolan, was led in and
under the shade of a cannon-torn tree,
breathed his last and was wrapped in
the ld flag. So impressive was this
that many a tear was shed iu the audi
ence.
A double quartet was sung by a num.
be? of ladies, and was loudly applauded.
It was a gem, ami beside being catchy,
was well rendered.
After a short address by one of the
veterans, the program ended with music
by the orchestra.
lowaru tne close ot the program n
apecial dispatcAi to The Chiso.niciiK was
read, announcing tho fact that two spe
cial trains, bearing troops from Idaho,
would pasB through the city during the
night.
Kod, White mill Itltm Luncheon,
Mrs. Joshua French gave a very nx
qulslto lunch to a few old friends Thurs
day afternoon, May 19th. The guuBts
of honor wero Mra. Phoebo M. Dekum,
of Portland, Mrs. Jamca B. Condon and
Mrs. Samuel L. Brooks, the two last cel
ebrating their birthdays with tho host
ess, all three happening within the
Wdek.
ilO Aing to the presence of the state en
campment of tho Grand Army of the
Republic in tho city, the table decora
tions were in tho patriotic colors and the
beautiful hues were intermingled with
cut glass, china and damask.
Repairing to tho parlors, Mrs. Eliza
beth M. Wilson, in her usual happy
manner, gavo i short review of tho
changes that had taken place in the
world's history since the days ot the
early "Forties," when these ladies made
their appearance on the stage of action,
alter which the time was spent with
music and conversation.
The occasion will always remain with
them as a bright spot in memory.

A email blaze started on the platform
of the Wasco warehouse at Arlington
Tuesday. Fortunately it was discovered
and checked before it Eecured headway,
otherwise the damage would have
amounted to thousands of dollars, as
large quantities of wool and wheat would
have been destroyed, and the O. R. & N.
depot would have been damaged. A
strong wind was blowing at the time.
