Reports are continually coming in as

premature. Those who know, say much

Dancers have no cause to complain
as to the scarcity of this amusement
in The Dalles recently. Another oppor
tunity was afforded them last evening,
when an impromptu dancing party was
given at the K, of P. hall by eome'of

couples were present, just enough to
cause everyone to feil perfectly at borne
and in a humor to uiake the most of the
evening's pleasure. Music, was fnrnithed
by the Baldwin orchestra. The floor
was never in' better condition, which
added much to toward making the affair
the success it was.

One of the men who had been called

seems to have been determined to make

pocket a pair of cream opera gloves,
which was evidently put there by some

Out of a band of 5000, he is said to have

energetic man and a bard worker, whose
bad luck is to be regretted.

Washington's birthday was not forgot
ten yesterday by the Ladies' Aid Society
of the Congregational church, who cele
brated it in a very happy manner, being
entertained by Mrs. 6. E. Sanders and
Mrs. J. M. Huntington, at the home of
the latter. . ( '
' About eighty ladies were present, in
cluding many members of the Good In
tent Society of the M. E. church and
outside friends. Each was met at the
door by two diminutive George Wash
ingtons and two Martha Waehingtons,
who presented them with a small sou
venir flag and ushered them into the
parlors, when they found themselves in
a most patriotic atmosphere. Every
where was the red, white and. blue, re
lieved by evergreene, and ever preeent
was the memorable hatchet. The dining
room was especially, beautiful in its de
coration, the bunting forming a canopy
and the pretty-foliage and berries of the
California pepper tree were much in
evidence.
As an opening, all joined in singing
"America", after which a short program
was given. Mrs. Myers read an excel
lent paper on ''The Life of George Wash
ington;". Mrs. Huntington' and Mrs.
Corson Bangs very pretty duet; Miss
Cashing rendered "Ben Bolt", with
guitar accompaniment, and then all
were expectant, as it had been an

sons having been given their fathers'
names when christened; as in walked

the pleasant surprise added to the enjoy
ment of their selection, which was very
pleasing. ,
Elaborate refreshments were served
after all had joined heartily in playiog
games, "stage coach", being the very
amusing game chosen as the favorite.
Not only was the social part of the
afternoon very successful ; but the ladies
added to the fund of their society-a neat
little sum.

The liveliest man in the. state was in
the city last evening R. C. Judson, in
dustrial agent of the O. K. & N. Com
pany. If we had a few more such un
tiring workers as he, we would have an
immigration such as the state could not
contain.
He is now holding institutes in differ
ent towns, and after one he is now pre
paring to be held in Milton, be will
reach The Dalles on Tuesday, February
28tb, to complete arrangements for the
farmers' institute to be held here, on
Wednesday and Thursday, the 1st and
2d of next month. Those who remember
that throngh his efforts the wool-growers'
convention was the Buccess it was
last year, will know what to expect of
this meeting. While it will be especial
ly instructive to farmers, it will be little
less interesting to our citizens, and al
though the former are urged, for . their
own good, to make an effort to be pree
ent. It is also expected that Dalles peo
ple, will appreciate the opportunity.
Among the speakers who will be pres
ent are Hon. James Withycombe, who
will epeak on ''Tillage a .Factor In the
Conservation of Moisture.'! Prof. A. B.
Cordley has for his subject "Fruit Pests
and Spraying;" Prof. A. E. Lake, "The
Coming Horticultural Problems;'' Prof.
G.W. Shaw,"Education of the Future;"
Prof. A. B. Leckerby, the well known
expert on grasees, "How to Make Our
Homes Pleasant;" and Prof. W. W:
Phillips will epeak on an all-important
subject to fruit-raisers, "The Packing
of Fruit for Eastern Markets."
The ladies are not to be forgotten, and
it is to be hoped that our friends from
the country will bring their wives and
daughters. All who have heard of the
famous lectures on cooking by Miss Susie
Tracy in Portland, will be glad to know
that she will be hereon the 2d and give
an illustrated lecture on the subject.
Mrs. Dr. Snell, of the state university,
will also speak during the institute, ou
"Hygiene of the Home." This question
is one which should interest everyone.
The meeting will be held in the court
room, and with such a program it should
be packed.

greatest influence. De Witt's Little
