W. & T. surveying engineer reports that he is very much encouraged with the result of Ids labors so far.

An act of the last Oregon legislature constituted the second Friday in April of each year as Arbor Day.

His support, taken all in nil, was very guod. there being 1 just sulUeientoontrat to show up the su , perh actingof Lindsay in the leading part j like a brilliant diamond in a setting of less luminous gems. Linday is it great actor, and never fails to invest the diameter he impersonates with a patho ahat touches theheait. and a grandeur and complete ness thatMtlsfi?-. the intellect. Miss Dnilcy is an excellent actre-is and a worthy com plement to him. Those who failed to attend missed a rare treat. We are in hopes he will return sometime, and that our people will show abetter appreciation of him when he doe. The Lovc-lnman Company appeared Saturday evening to a crowded house in the drama entitled, "Facing the Enemy." The play is without plot or incident of In tcrest. and was most wretchedly rendded. Not onvof the company has ability beyond the average amateur. The lcs wi- say about this entertainment the better It will be for the company. Stuttzand his New York Theatre Com pany commenced a three night's engage ment on Monday evening, at which time that popular comedy "Kanchon the Crick et" was presented. Elodie Alma as Fan ebon was line, and in her rendition of the character, her extraordinary powers wero fully demonstrated. Tuesday evening the nautical drama entitled "The Light of Loma" was produced in a manner ri Meet ing credit on the. whole company, and last night the thrilling drama euiitled "Tho Soldier of Fomenoy" waa presented with Stuttz in the leading role. Mr. .Stuttz has a good company, is an excellent actor him self, and is what cannot bo generally said of actors a good manager. Mi.-s Eloiilie Alma In her various impersonations com pletely captured her audiences. She is a charming actress and the equal of .Stuttz in every respect. The presentation of the plays of this company are rendered more effective by every necessary stage appliance and accessory, which at great expense is carried with them. The attendance each evening was good. Last night's entertain ment was given as a benelit to the Knights of Pythias of this city, they receiving ono half the gross receipts, which amounted to ? 113.75. This action on the part of Mr. Stuttz was highly appreciated by the Knights, and before" the dose of the enter tainment, Tuner Oliver, tho C. C. of tho lodge here, advanced to the stage and with a few well chosen remarks, thanked Mr. Stuttz and his excellent company of artists, for tho Knightly courtesy shown the lodge, and read to the audience and pre sented to Mr. Stuttz, the following resolu tions which had been unanimously adopt ed by the lodge early in the evening. KHTRO 1'KttrmTA, Wiihueas, Brother J. (5. Stuttz. manager and proprietor of the New York Theatre Company, litis, m tho inagnaninity of his Knightly courtesy, extended to our lodge a complimentary benelit, on the occasion of his present visit to our city ; therefore be it lleralml, lty llhio .Mountain Lodge No. 2s, K, of P., of Union, in the grand juris diction of Oregon, that w'c extend to Profil er Stuttz our heartfelt thanks for the kind ness shown us by himself and his excellent company.

Upon a ealc worthy of the event to 1 commemorated, It Is impossible at this time to-flx the hour for assembling of the convention. Due notice of this will be given later. It i desired to arrange, if possible, for a Brigade parade of the Oregon National Guard in this city on that day, and efforts are now making to provide free transporta tlon for the troops of the Slid ami 3ml Keglmcnts Infantry, and Troop "A" Cav alry, to an-t from the city for this purpose.

At. last their bark i.s finished, done; The first great stop and race is run. Now childhood's fancies fade away, And dawns a brighter, splendid day .lust at the biacli their proud barks stand, Guided thus far by gentle hands. Far, out upon Life's billowy sea, They veutnro hopefully andjfree. Take them! Oh, gray-haired Father Time! Ureal ho to their souls your richest chime ! Take them, with all their youthful charms Safe into thy uplifted arms! Young minds unused to Fortune's blast Unused to drifting far and fust. Launch them, oh Time, upon Life'. main. ith whisp'riug winds, and tuneful strain I Hoar kindly with their tender forms, Steer clear of thrcat'ning clouds and storms! Spread out before their wistful eyes Gay forms and Nature's deepest skies! Teach them, oh Master, old a, id gray, The right to do; the right to say! Point out the path whore pleasures nod Where through all ages, wisdom trod! Teach them, oh Time, with loving care, The courage and the faith to dare To breast each tempest 's blinding blast, And search for knowledge till the last. Hreath in their ears too songs of pence; Teach thorn that learnings never cease. And teach them. Jauen with youriuight The world-wide symphonies of Kight. A wide, wide pathway stretches far, Put ah, how many crooks there are; How many cross roads loading by, Hut shadowed by a blackor sky. Give them, oh Time, the light of Truth To guide aright iho slops of youth ; Pot plainly on yon future's heights True manhood's beaming beacon lights; And too, along the pathway's line, Let womanly villus over shine. Weave in thoir lives, with soft caress The opening buds of tenderness. Our Union, with its banners gay Its freedom, and its grand array, Witii all its hope, ami all Its fears, The grandeur of the coining years!, Is leaning now in hioathless hours, On thein, and all their untried powors. Teach thoni, then, Muster with a uaro, To hope, to fear, to push, to dure. Place, then, oil Time, within tiieir iiauiia The key to Learning's richest hinds. Pray tuno your lyre to nobler strains, And sing thoni Munhnod'sgruuder gains; Lot not thosolllsh passions spring, 'Tworo then for naught that praines ring. Put give to them, with tender care, Your hoarded maxims, just and fair. Let bloom boside tlteir path in rest, Tho lluwor.s that gives thoni comforts blessed, Ami last, oh Muster, one more Ihioii, When Life is at its golden noon, l'my shed the lustrous ruys of Lovo, Around, about them, and above.
