The press notices of the enter- jP3
tainment given by the Strollers
Quartette in the towns of Oregon
and Washington are flattering in
the extreme. If you want to en
joy an evening of high class
music, readings, and other fea
tures, attend the entertainment
at the Christian church, Friday
evening, and you will come away
more than pleased with the Strol
lers. The committee have made
the rate 75 cents for the enter
tainment, although the bureau
did not like to see the price put
below a dollar, as that is the rate
charged in nearly all the towns.

appear in the third number of
the lyceum course, Jan. 8.
One stroke of a bell in a thick
fog does not give any lasting im
pression of its location, but when
followed by repeated strokes at
regular intervals, the densest fog
or the darkest night can not long
conceal its whereabouts. Like
wise a single insertion of an ad
vertisementas compared with
regular and systematic advertis
ing is in its effect not unlike a
sound which, heard but faintly
once, is lost in space and soon
forgot.
A novel entertainment was
given by the ladies of the Eastern
Star at Masonic hall last Friday
evening. Elderly men and ma- j
trons donned childhood attire and
the makeup of some of them was
very comical. A program of old-
time songs and simple recitations
was presented, followed bv
unch of mush and milk, picture
crackers and plain candies. The
evening was greatly enjoyed.

Native black marble in great
quantities has been discovered in
Wallowa county. This promises
to be a valuable asset to that sec
tion of the state. Present sup
plies of black marble come from
Belgium and Alaska and the new
find will undoubtedly supplant
the product of these two places,
since freight is such a big item in
the handling of this heavy stone.
The bazaar and cafeteria given
by the ladies of the M. E. church,
South, Thursday last, was a suc
cess in every detail. Many beau
tiful and useful things for gifts
were sold, and the servingof sup
per cafeteria style, while new
and novel, was appreciated, and
was the means of bringing con
siderable cash into the treasury
of the missionary society.

i ing conditions that produce crime,
and should share with the criminal
the blame for his offense."
