Last' night ' Mr.and Mrs. Geo. A.
Young, accompanied by their daughter,

sister in Billing's, Mont., while her father
and mother visited their old bomes in
(Maine and Massachusetts. It is the first
time in forty years that Mrs. Young has'
visited the old homestead in Maine,and,'
Btrange to say, everything was as she
left it,with the exception-of the paint on
the bouse. Such is the sameness of the
East. - At Billings they found the ther
mometer loafing around about 55 below,
ana in' consequence remained . indoors
most of the time.
A meeting of the. Hook and Ladder
Co. was held last evening ' in the city
hall and business of importance was- at

ed to serve for one year in conjunction
with Vic Marden, elected for two years,
and A7 Ward"' for" three years. First
assistant &. E.; Van Vector having
moved to Condon, Samuel Thurmah was
elected to fill the vacancy. The ' coin
mittee appointed some time ' ago to
solicit subscriptions for the purchase of a
new book and ladder truck , ana ap
paratus will ' wait, upon vour citizens'
shortly, and It "is to 'be hoped ' they will
meet with a fitting' Buccees,' tor the
present appurtenances are inadequate
If a 'comparison, were made between
i the attendance at the " court room and
and the interest taken in the work
judged from the size of the audiences,
the result would be much in favor of the
ladies. It was a pleasing sight to see
such a large audience of pleasant looking
ladies, with note book in hand.eager to
catch every word uttered by the fair
speaker, who stood on the stage behind
a large demonstrating table filled with
cooking utensils and eyerytbing neces
sary to make most delicious salads and
deserts. At one side of the stage was an
oil stove, ready to do service when need
ed. Miss Tracy is a very cbarmmg lady
and enters right into the spirit of her
work, and when she has mixed and re
mixed the various ingredients, they are
fit for a king. As the ladies were pre
paring to sample the dishes, a ' number
of srentlemen were Been to make their'
appearance in the audience, and no
doubt were rewarded.'
; While a certain amount of applause at
an entertainment is commendable, and
is a wonderfut stimulant to the perform
ers, there is a question as to how much
should be required ot tnose wno enter
tain us.' Should we insist on an encore
to every number ot the program, thus
completely wearing out those who take
part and causing the audience, in many
instances, to grow weary before the last
numbers are rendered. . Not that, this
was the case last night, for the lasting
quality of the voices of the quartet was
remarkable, and, if possible, seemed to
grow better with each' succeeding num
ber: while the audience certainly never
tired ot bearing them. Then, too, they
were more than kind in responding.
Yet, it is beginning ' to be considered
not quite the proper thing to demand so
much of our entertainers, and in the
East is being done away with almost en
tirely. While we encourage the per
formers by frequent applause, we should
not be selfish in the matter.

Th"e Dalles postoffice riddle is at length
solved, after months of impatient wait
ing and conjecture as to when the poli
ticians would cease their bickering and
allow us to have a' new' postmaeter, the
term of the present incumbent, J. A.
Crossen, having come to a close very
nearly a year since.
.The following telegram, received last
night by Mr. Riddell when at the din
ner table, has settled the much-disputed
question. 0
Washington, D. C. Mar. 1, 1899.
H. IK Riddell,
The Dalles, Or. .,.'.
You have been appointed postmaster.
Hope you will accept.
W. R. Ellis.
To say that the recfpient of the above
was surprised does not. express it, for
such an appointment was as far from
his expectations ae anything" could be,
not being aware that bis name had been
mentioned in that connection. Scarcely
knowing whether to believe that the
"plana" had actually fallen on his
dinner plate or not, he immediately
started down town to inquire whether
in shaking the tree some of our politic
ians had not missed and dropped the fruit
where it was not intended. He found
however," that others had received word
of his good luck and that he was being
congratulated on every side, and even
from outside friends. ,
As to our citizens. Well, they would
not have been more surprised had they
awakened to find the Columbia had run
dry. Many names had been mentioned
ia that; connection, and discussed pro
and con, most ' of whom would have
filled the office very creditably, and given
as much satisfaction as can be given by
one holding such a position. But no
one had thought of Mr. Riddell, making
the surprise and gratification more com
plete, for no one could bave been chosen
who, in the opinion of the majority, is
more deserving or will nil the office in
a moro conscientious . manner. Being
an Oregon young man who bas made
his way through obstacles to hie present
standing in the community, all are
gratified to see such , a one recognized.
Born in Salem in 1868, he made bis
home in the valley until the year '81,
w hen lie' time lo Eastern Oregon and
spent his boyhood days on a farm near
8-Mile. In 188G he came into the c
for tb purpose of attending the Waeco
Independent Academy, from which he
was graduated In the class " of '90. He
was one'of those boys who in bis desire
for learning was willing to do anything
to further the end in 7 view, and for a
emoval Notice.

portion of the time filled the position as
janitor. When his school daje were
finished he immediately went, to, Port
land to study law, and was adxitted to
the bar in June, 1892. Since that time
he has practiced his profession in this
city, in the meantime assisting younger
brothers and sisters to obtain an educa
tion. . Being steady, industrious and
thoroughly deserving," be will no doubt
make an excellent official and meet the
requirements of so exacting a position.
The exact date; upon which the new
postmaster will assume his duties has
not as yet been determined; but it. will I
probably be in April.. ,lne appoint
ment is yet to be confirmed by the sen
ate; but" word from Washington gives
assurance as to the confirmation.
