It was unfortunate for the members of
the club that so few were present to en

Are ltd rrlvllecu Fully Appreciated?
Wc Think Not.
For a club which numbers over 120
members, the representation at tlie
business meeting of the D. C. & A. C.
last evening was not large; but there
was a fair attendance, particularly of
those who hold the interest of tho club
at heart. The occaiion was the annual
meeting to elect tlie board of directors
and discuss the welfare of the institu
tion. As a result of the election L. E.
Crowe, A. S. Bennett, H. W. French,
F. Menefee, M. T. Nolan, C. L. Phillips
and F. A. Seufert are directors for the
ensuing year and are empowered to
choose their officers at a subsequent
meeting.
Tho report of Treasurer Wilson showed
the finances of the club to be in splendid
condition, probably the beet of any
eimilar club in the stat While not
absolutely free from debt, their liabilU
ties are small, and every member,
whether he frequents tho club or not,
keeps his dues up in a surprising man
ner. While this is true, we do not believe,
from observation, that tlie club is ap
preciated as it should be. It Is human
mature to desire the unattainable, and
consequently before such an organiza
tion was instituted there, was a continual
complaint among the young men of a
lack of any place in which to spend
leisure hours. Now ttial that want lias
been filled, and admirably too; now
that there is a reHort provided, with
every comfort imaginable; with the best
of reading matter, with billiard and pool
tables, card rooms, bowling alleys and
gymnasium in fact everything necee
sary to a club carried on in a respectable
manner, is it appreciated as it should
be? Is it not the minority of membere
who avail themselves of its privileges?
It was one of the best moves ever made
in Tho Dalles when the club was insti
tuted, and obliterated any foundation
for complaint as to the absence of a re
spectable place in which to pass the
hoars when every-day duties are laid
aside.
The same criticism is also applicable
to the ladies. While we do not' ad
vocate woman's clubs or believe it ad
visable for her to spend much of her
time at euch places, yet tlie ladies of
The Dalles have been specially favored
by the club here. In no other city do
they receive such consideration along
that lne as here, where they are given
the privelege of the club rooms several
times during the week. For a time this
opportunity was eagerly accepted; but
for the paet year interest seems to have
lagged and the) have not shown the ap
preciation which is duo its members.
Thursday afternoon has been set apart
for their benefit aud yot often not a
siegle lady is found there, while in
previous years it was difficult to get a
chance to bowl or a place at the billiard
table. Every two weeks its members
are privileged to listen to the very best
music by tho baud, and instead of mak
ing this the occasion of a promt nado
concert as it might well be, for the hist
two evenings very few have been present
to enjoy the splendid selections given.
Wherein Hcr the difficulty? Are we
so easily satiated, or so fickle that some
new amusement must be furnished eacli
week? The members and their lady
friends should realize more fully the
benefits of tho club, make It a place of
sociability and Improve the opportun
ities it affords.
As far as the commetclal sldo ot the
club Is concerned it is true that tliero Is
room for improvement, and questions
and 1 rojects for tlie benefit of tho city
are pending which should be taken up
and pushed through by tho commercial
club. But in the above article wc de
sired but to treat tlie question from a
social point of view.
A Most KntprtnlnliiR Lecture.
It is not a surprise to thoso who wero
fortunate enough to litteu to Chaplain
Gilbert at tlie Metlioiist church last
night that the boys of tho Second Oregon,
and other regiments as well, held their
chaplain In such high regard, for, regard
less of his brave, noble deedp, there is a
charm in tin manner demanding at
once attention nnd respect. The simple,
and at tho same time eloquent anil at
tractive manner in which ho told the
story of the campaign in tho Philippines
took the audience ut once, for he lias
the happy faculty ol blending the pa
thetic, the ludicrous and every phase of
the campaign in such a way as not to
dwell too long on any question', and
leaving out nothing that would interest
his audience; evtn the minor details of
the lives of the Filipinos and the little
incidents in camp life were deecribed
in a most entertaining manner.
In opening his address he said that
the Filipino question was far from set
tled ; that it was just beginning on tho
return of the Oregon boys, nnd in view
of tlie questions regarding it which now
confront the people it was a great
temptation to speak on Ihe political side
of the question, and although lefraining
from it, he did incidentally remurk that
wnile free silver would wotk, you had to
have tho Filipinos to work it. Tho
crowning honor of this nation is that
she dared declare against oppression.
May she never Btaop so low as to con
sider tlie financial side of the question,
nor conquest for gain.
We would not atteuipt to give even
an idea of the train of his thought
throughout. Suffice to say he epoko in
the highest terms of tho Second Oregon
Volunteers and though he studied to
avoid personal mention, all understood
the noble place be filled and the work
ho did. "Tlie Second Oregon," he said,
"was the regiment of honor," and ho
could not say enough in praise of his
comrades.
Everyone present was delighted with
the lecture and expressed a regret that
any of their friends missed it.
A quartet sang an opening selection,
which was very appropriate, and nt tho
close nearly all availed themselves of
the opportunity to shake hands with
Chaplain Gilbert.
