On New Year's Day a year
ago, the Ladies' Coffee Club, ci
this city, entertained their many
friends in a manner which eclips
ed all of th-sir former efforts. It
-was thought at that time that it
w&uld be impossible for the la
dies to rise to greater heights, but
it has been accomplished, accord
ing to the verdict of tliose who
attended the reception given by
the ladies of the Coffee Club in
their apartments in the City
Hall last Thursday afternoon.
Great preparation had been
made for this occasion. The hall
was most beautifully decorated
with flowers and evergreens.
Wild ferns and potted plants
were in evidence everywhere,
while from the ceiling swung
great chains of evergreens, ar
ranged in the most tasteful man
ner possible, .me reception
tables were perfect dreams, each
being beautifully decorated with
flowers and set oil with most
elaborate and attractive service.
A couple of ladies presided over
each table, and were ably assist
ed by many other ladies of the
Cofiee Club. Nor was this all
the refreshments served . were
most dainty and delicious, and
the coffee and cocoa was beyond
doubt better than "our mothers
made."
The reception was largely at
tended and everybody appeared
to enjoy the occasion to the ut
most. On every hand there was
heard a babble ot voices and rip
pling laughter they seemed to
be contagious The reception
proper began about 3 in the af
ternoon and lasted until 6 o'clock.
After the electric lights were
turned on the scene appeared
more gorgeously beautiful than
before. The event will long be
remembered.
Ruthyn Turney and Mor
daunt Goodnough furnished mu
sic for the reception, and for the
dance which was given in the
evening as the closing feature,
the music was rendered by F. R.
Overlauder and Mrs. Inez Wilson.

The average amount 01 revenue
per year for the last 15 years has

revenue needed . is $160,000
less than the amount required for
last year, when the levy was 6.51

A Glaring Outrage.
A week ago last Saturday dur
ing the absence ot A. A. Meeks
and family from their home in
the Irish Bend country, some
contemptible cur entered the!
house and committed various
depredations. Whoever the par-
tv was. he deserves a term in the
"pen."
The acts committed evidence
the most malicious, disposition.
The party entered the house and
tore picture albums into sureds,
silk handkerchiefs were cut into
pieces with a sharp knife, two
shoteuns were broken and other
things about the house destroyed.
The perpetrator of the outrage
went into the barn and cut the
tugs of two sets of harness. He
visited the smoke house and took
his knife and slashed a number
of hams. Some bacon was thrown
on the ground ind tramped into
the dirt. A number ot cans oi
lard had their- lids removed and
ashes were thrown over the con
tents. Anything so malicious,
despicable and outrageous is not
often heard of in any section.
This is the second offence of the
kind that Mr. Meeks has suffered
and it is thought the same party
is the author of both.

this state and siys that while it
is a great industry, those who
produce the beets do not own the
land as a general thing and
are not able to prosper in the
business. The. sugar factory is
located at La Grande and is
owned by Mormons. The beets
are nearly all produced by Mor
mons. The land on which the
beets are produced, in nine cases
out of ten, is owned by the pro
prietors of the factory and they
sub-let it to Mormons practically
on their own terms. Where the
company sells land they stipulate
that a .certain number of acres
is to be planted in beets, -for a
certain term of years. Accord -
