However, it is to be regretted that the demand ot this day and age not only kept them In the stores, offices etc, ...to day, but continually keeps tbem. from place, they were designed to fill, and where they should be in the home. Last' night ' Mr.and Mrs. Geo. A. Young, accompanied by their daughter, Miss Georgia, returned from their East ern trip. The latter remained with her 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 tended to.' H. C. Leibe, who is fore man of the company, resigned as fire patrolman and J. S. Schenck was elect 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. Piano Tuning. . Mr. Howard S.

He Is Appointed Postmaster for The Dalles Surprise All Aionud. , way home from Sum'pter, where the has been'on aimeinees trip. Mr, McDevitt i the Baldwin opera "house this ' afternoon In behalf of the Lutheran ladies and the A. L. P. S. quartet I extend my sin cere thanks to all- who assisted' in the concert at the Baldwin last night; ' A. W. Lundkll. Hen Wanted , " To cut cord wood. . Inquire at The Dalles Lumbering Co. 24tf 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.

Opposite old stand. 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.
