A Pleasant Affair.
Had the seating capacity of the
Presbyterian church been double
what it is, every seat would have been
occupied on Christmas evening to
witness the distribution of presents to
the Sunday school children, from the
overloaded and tastefully ornamented
Christmas tree. As it was, chairs
were brought into requisition along
the aisles and in front, and every
body made as comfortable as possible,
though many only had standing room
while others failed to gain admittanco
at all.
The gifts were numerous, and many
of them were costly. The generous
donors mu3t have been repaid for their
liberality, and the superintendent and
teachers of the snnday school abun
dantly rewarded for their "labor of
love," as thoy gazed upon the bright
eyes of the children raised in expec
tation as each present was taken
from the tree and the lucky owner's
name announced, and then witness
the eager, happy and joyous counten
ance, beaming with delight, of the
little one whose hand was raised, sig
nifying that he or she was the fortu
nate possessor of the name called. A
box of extra toys, dolls, etc., had
been generously donated, so that no
child should be overlooked or go
away without a present. Owing to
the overcrowded stato of the room
Santa Claus was unwilling to force his
portly form through such limited
space, so the nuts and candies he had
provided wore distributed by his su
bordinates. When it was thought all
the presents had been distributed
from the tree Mr. E. C. Holden pro
duced from a remote branch a pret
tily polished mussel shell purse, with
a card attached, on which was written
"A Christmas gift to Rev. J. V. Mil
ligan, in token of our appreciation
of his earnest, faithful efforts, as pas
tor of the First Presbyterian ohurch
of Astoria." Signod, "Many Mem
bers." The pursB contained $53.75
and was collected during the day by
two lady members. Mr. Millijjan was
taken by surpriso, and in a few words
expressed his full appreciation of the
unexpected gift nud the kind words
and motives of the donors. Owing
to tho unexpectedly densely crowded
state of the building, no recitations
or Christmas songs were given, as
originally intended.
An Old Favorite.
Upon our desk lies a. magazine
which brings to our mind a flood of
memories. It is the "Overland
Monthly,' the same ligut brown cover,
the same bear on the railroad track,
and tho samu flavor of tho coast that
the last one had which w laid down
-iili iwrit jMfc miTtMl "Cr "IV
magazine should never have beu al
lowed to ceaso publication, and we
are glad to see that tha enterprising
editor of the Callfoxiium has changed
the name and mako up of his nnga
zine and given us a readable publica
tion with the old time prestige of
tho "OverlanuV' about it.
The present editor and proprietor
of the magazine is an energetic young
fellow with plenty of tnlent and "go"
to htm to make his magazine a success.
His publication is a help to the coast
and should get coast patronage, and
on tho score of literary excellence it
will compare favorably with eastern
monthlies. To us it seems like tho
return of an old friend.

On January 1st., M. P. Callender
who lias so long and successfully con
ducted the affairs of the Knappton
mills, will resign for the purpose of
taking a holiday. Eleven years of
continuous and unremitting . work

Mr. Callender well merits a season of
relaxation. He will visit southern
California this winter, going east in
the spring, and will probably resume
active business in this vicinity next
season.
session of the grand
lodge of Good Templars, of this state,
it was ordered that necessary steps be
take steps to found an orphans' home,
and a board of managers were ap
pointed to take the matter in charge
and go ahead and effect ar
rangements. The board was author
ized to solicit subscriptions and to lo
cate the home at the city or village
which would contribute the most
money before or by the first day of
September last. The Dalles having
donated the largest sum of money,
$1450, it was ordered that the home
be located in or near that city. A
purchasing committee was appointed
to select a desirable tract of land,
which they did, about one-half mile
from The Dalles, at a cost of 81,900,
paying all of the amount down, except
$140. It iB now the purpose of the
board of managers to mako a grand
effort to secure money enough to erect
and furnish tho building and have it
