What This Xohle Order II Doing la Iba
Dalles and Elsewhere.
Temple Lodge No. 3 -gave an enjoy
able entertainment last- night at their
ball in this city which was attended
by about 130 members and invited
guests. The programme rendered
was unusually interesting, the musio
being so well appreciated as to Call for
an encore after each rendition.
First on the programme was a chorus
by twelve male voices, members of
the Gesang Vereia Harmonie, ren
dered in German; second, vocal duet,
Charlie Clark and Willie Crossen;
third, vocal solo, Dr. Doan; fourth.
vocal solo, C. Clark; fifth, violin duet,
Prof. Birgfeld and one of his pupils,
Mr. William Woodcock, of Waraic;
sixth, address by Dr. Doan. When
the doctor ceased "speeking, Master
workman Herria announced that
dancing was in order, also that coffee
and cake would be served by Mr. Kel
ler. The hall was at once cleared, and
until 12 o'clock light and joyou feet
kept time to. sweet strains of music
furnished by Mr. .; and Mrs. Herrin,
while the refreshments se-ved at
Keller's cafe were not overlooked.
In his address Dr. Doane furnished
some data concerning the Ancient Or
der of United Workman, which give
the uninitiated a good idea' of' what
this great beneficiary order is doing to
ameliorate the human race in the
United 3tates and Canada, and of its
phenominal growth. Although it has
been in existence less than a quarter
of a century, it now has a membership
of 350,000, and the disbursements on.
beneficiary certificates at the present
time amount to 23 cents per second, or
over 321,000 per day. ' None of this vast
amount goes bO pay the salaries of of
ficials or solicitors, but is paid direct
to the families of deceased members.
The membership in the jurisdiction of
Oregon is about 7000, and of Temple
Lodge 148. with good prospects of
being swelled to 163 in a very - short
time, there being 20 applications for
The Bully of the World."
When they hear of Venezuela,
Her refusal to be bullied,
Her defiance of the tyrant
That is ever pickiig quarrels
With some struggling tribe or nation
.Not her equal by a jugful;
When they hear the muttering thun
tier
Of a war cloud, vaguely gathered
On our tropical horizon,
And reflect this may moan justice
For a century of insult.
Outrage, bloodshed and oppression;
now the victims of the Bully
Will give thanks that Unnle Samuel
Has awakened from his cat-n ip,
Kicked the mugwumps all to thun

Burst the mouldy bands of Md tape,
Ana declare- that by the Eternal'
He'll see justice done, or find out
What's the reason why it isn't
On this continent Columbian!
And the conquered Matabeles,
And the Fellaheen of Egypt,
And the plundered Indian rajahs,
And the poor black folk of Burmah,
And the harried tribes of Bushmen,
Antt toe paoplo of Aahante J,
And the slaves along. the Congo,
And the mountaineers Of'Chitral,
And the still undaunted Afghans,
And the naked, starved Armenians,
Massacred by British scruples,

A I'retty Sight.
The grand old Columbia presented a
pretty sight Thursday. There was
not a breath of air to ripple its placid
bosom: its current flowed steadily
though slowly toward the sea, currying
large bodies of ice, apparent barbing;
ers of King Winter that had broken
losse from his domain above, and were
floating nn to milder climes, forerun
ners of his coming, to prepare an abode
for the frigid tyrant. As one stood on
the bank of the mighty river of the

thereafter. It would seem In the light
of this decision that there is no way
for a school district to lose its auto

other district. A voluntary failure to
elect officers or to have the three

It U Welcome. .
- Under ordinary circumstances ' snow
is usually unwelcome, but the "beauti
ful" which covers the ground at this
time is received more as a blessing
than a detriment. Although the
ground was thoroughly wet by the
recent rains, and no more moisture
was absolutely necessary, still fall
grain was unprotected from the freez
ing weather, and this snow is just
what is needed to give it sufficient
protection. Besides sheep refused to
eat hay so long as the ground was bare,
and flockmasters say this snow will be
beneficial to them in that their Socks
will take to dry feed more readily.
Eistern Oregon requires a certain
anotint of snow each winter to insure
good grain crops and abundance ot
grass on the ranges, hence there can
be no complaint entered against the
present storm, coming as it does so
late in the season.

Goo-i Season Ahead For Miners.
Placer miners are jubilant over the
heavy fall of snow - in the mountains,
which Insures an abundance of water
for next season's operations. It is
said by those who have lately been in
the mountains that the present depth
of snow is fully twice as deep as o.t any
time during last season,, and no doubt
more (now will foil before the winter
13 over. During the past vear a large
amount of development work has been
done, and many ' va'uable tracts of
placer ground were put in condition
lor production, and if the present Indi
cations are realised next year will wit
ness a revival in placer mining that
will greatly increase the output of
1808. . ' -

and 2-10 mills to meet the indigentsol
dier and other special funds. This on

When all business men are considering
what style and kind of printing they will
