JACKSON ENGINE CO.'S BALL.
Well Attended, Witb the Best of Music
and a Good. Time.
Jackson Engine Co. have always been
noted for working with a will when nec
essity demands ; bat at the same time
holding fairly to the belief that "all
work and no play makes Jack (son) a
dull boy." And so each year, for once at
least, they thoroughly enjoy themselves,
inviting their friends to join with them.
. Last night was not an exception, and
the Vogt was the scene of a joyous time.
where was gathered a large crowd of
dancers, who made the most of the
time until way past midnight.
This hall affords plenty of room for
dancing without interfering with each
other, and with the assistance of Mr. C.
L Phillips as floor manager, the party
was a success indeed. No one can en
joy keeping time to music which is not
the very best, and to the fact that that
furnished by Bergfeld's orchestra last
night was perfect, is probably due the
fact that ali enjoyed themselves so well,
for much praise is heard of it today.
Those who missed the ball last night
missed a good time.

What is the matter with the Portland
TTelegram? Hasn't it yet discovered the

and how we wish it were true) :
' The Dalles Woolen Mill Company is
steadily improving its plant. Jbxt a
power for running three sets of ma
chines and the electric light plant have
been installed. After January 1, the
mill, will be in full operation both day
and night on several large contracts,
which it is estimated it will take eight
months to fill. Employment for :ibout
thirty or forty women will be affjrded in
January by the tailoring establishment.
