'Tis said that Villard when east of the mountains on his late trip made it hot for some .of the newspaper men who had said that he had said things that he didn't saj'. It is better to confine newspaper assertions to strict truth, for what is lost in sensation is gained in accuracy and reputation for reliability. At the 28th annual session in Portland of the Oregon Grand lodge of I. O. O. F., the following officers were elected Ja?t Tuesday: R. W. G. M., Char. E. Sitton; R. W. D. G. M., J. J. Walton, R. W. G.

Up to date of present writing there havo been taken 182 shares of the capital stock of the Clatsop Road company. As the articles of incorpo ration make it necessary to have 250 shares subscribed before operations can begin, and tho season is passing, it is evident that if anything iR to be done this year, sixty-eight shares tmut be subscribed forthwith.

The Home Dramatic Association Last evening Occidental hall was tho the tho atjaiu comfortably filled to see second rendition of "Enlisted for War." An additional feature of performance was the supplying of an orchestra, which was effectively done by Miss Davidson and Prof.Francis. In the character of ''Robert Truworth," Mr. R. E. Jackson displayed a de velopment of dramatic appreciation that if pursued to its fullest extent would enable him to make his mark on the stae. He was ably seconded . -., n " -. , ,, , by Mr. C. C. Browcr, who, in the role , .,,.,-. -r, ,, prahe by his rendition of his part. In the scene wherein he offers Robt. Truworth the title deeds to the farm on condition that he renounce all claims to the land of the heiress, both gentlemen exhibited some very fine acling. "Hosea Jenks," the versa tile auctioneer, who "couldn't keep it; it would pop out," was ably taken by D. H. Caswell, who made the most of the part. As "Hiram Jenks," Ho sea's dutiful son, Scott Bozorth brought out the comical side of a lover in distress, to the infinite amusement of his auditors. "Crimp," the exu berant and joyous child of the sunny south whose graphic description of the style and operations of his enemy the ram, convulsed the audience, was personated by Mr. Jo. Charters. Ho it was who rushed in in all the glee of new discovery to the embarrassment of the lovers, aud he it wa3 who faithfully aided the "Home Guard' in the dis charge of the duty entrusted to them. His make up aud dialect was good, and the best praise we can bestow upon his counterfeiting of tho genu ine darkey is to state the fact that some of the audience insisted that it was a colored man who had been trained to take the part. As "Gaylie Gifford," the heiress, Miss Carrie Barrows had an excellent opportunity to exhibit some fine acting, an opportunity which was fully improved. Jn the sceno where through a misunderstanding of her motives Mrs. Truworth reproaches her for ignoring her promise to Robert, Miss Barrows made a most effect ive scene, showing an exact appreciation of just how much force to exert in hor denial without becoming vehemeut. Mrs. Etta Char tars, as "Mrs. Truworth," Bussained the part with a quiet dignity in'keep ing with the character of the mother who sent her son to battle for the right, while she remained behind to pray. Her enunciation was especial ly commendatory, evory inflection of voice being clearly audible. As "Mat tie Truworth," Miss Laura Ferrell most happily filled the part of a hand some yonng girl proud of her. brother and her lover and happy in their hap piness. Ono of tho most enjoyable features of the occasion wa3 tho exquisite ren dition on a concertina, by Mr. Cam eron cf several imitations of bag pipes, bells chiming, etc., which elic ited repeated encores. A noticeable feature f tho per formance was one which in amateur companies is generally conspicuous by reason of its absence the proper ob servance of what is known as "stage business." However perfect ono may be in their lines, however thoroughly one may have rehearsed, yet upon the exits and entraucc3, the posture and transit while on the stage, embracing, etc., depends greatly the success of the play. In this pnrticular, as in others, the Home Dramatic Associa tion is to be commended for its pro ficiency. The performers in the afterpiece al eo acquitted themselves creditably and received most uproarious applause. D. H. Cameron favored the au dience last evening with "The Last Rose of Summer," and "Killarney" in a style that has never been equaled in ivsiona. Drowned on Peacock Spit Boat 2o. 33 of the Ocean Canning Co.. upset at Peacock Sj-it last Tues day afternoon, resulting in the death of J. H. Winkler, who was fishing this season with Capt. Robt. Lmfare. They were on the point of returning when a breaker upset the boat; both men dived, and on coming to the sur faco Capt. Lanfare shouted to his com panion to get to tho boat and, as soon as the net had drifted by he would join him. Wiukler did so, Lanfare swimming some thirty yards away and keeping himself afloat till the net would drift by. Winkler got up on the capsized boat, and stood up look ing toward Langfare when a breaker struck him with great force and washed him off. Lanfare struck out, but be coming exhausted got up on the boat which drifted with him till rescued by one of Geo. Hume's boats. About an hour afterward one of tho Union Packing Co.'s boats caught tho body of Winkler in the net; it was immedi ately conveyed to town. Deceased was a young man, a brother of Mrs. Dr. Jay Tuttle, and had been here but a short time. Capt. Lmfare who has saved twelve boats and seventeen lii'es, is of the opinion thai had his companion not been over confident ho would not havo perished. The funeral will take place this afternoon at two o'clock from Grace church. An Aifo. 1 Piano to rent at Carl Ad ler's. Just received, ex steamer Ocn, Miles, 200 bales good Tillamook Hay. Apply to J. H. D. Gray. That Blessed Baby. "Well, how is the baby?" asked the grocery-man of the bad boy, as he ' carao into the grocery smelling very with the back gone, and looked very tired. 'Oh, darn tho baby. Everybody asks mo about the baby as though it was mine. I don't pay no attention to the darn thing, except to notice the foolishness going on around the house. Say, I guess that baby will grow up to bo a fire engine. The nurse coupled the baby on to a section of rubber hose that runs down into a bottlo of milk, and it began to get up atoam and pretty soon the milk began to disappear, just like the water does when a fire engiuo couples on to a hydrant. Pa calls the baby "Old Number Two." I'm "Number One," and if pa had a hook and ladder truck and a hose cart and a fire going, he would imagine he was chief engineer of the fire department. But the baby kicks on this milk-wagon milk, and howls like a dog that's got lost. The doctor told pa the best thing he could do was to get a goat, but pa said since we 'uishiated him into the Ma sons with the goat, he wouldn't have a goat around no how. The doctor told pa the other kind of a goat, I think it was a Samantha goat ho said, wouldn't kick with its head, and pa sent me up into the Polack settlement to see if I could borrow a milk goat for a few weeks. I got a woman to letid us her goat till the baby got big enough to chew beef, for a dollar a week, and paid a dollar in advance, and pa went up with me in the even ing to get the goat. Well, it was the darndest mistake yon ever see. There was two goats so near alike you couldn't tell which was the goat wo leased, and the other goat was tho chum of our goat, but it belonged to a Nirish woman. We got a bed cord hitched against the Irish goat, and that goat didn't recognize the lease, and when we tried to jerk it along it rared right up, and made things lively for pa. I don't know what there is about a goat that mikea it got so spunky, but that goat seemed to have a grudge against pa from tho first. If there were any places on pa's manly form that the goat did not explore, with its head, pa don't know where the places are. Oh, it lammed him, and when I laffed pa got mad. I told kim every man ought to furnish his goats, when he had a baby, and I let go of the rope and started off, and pa said he knew how it was, I wanted him to get killed. It wasn't that, but I saw the Irish woman that owned the goat coming around tho corner of tho house with a cistern pole. Just as pa was getting tho goat out of tho gate, the goat got cross ways of tho gate, and pa yanked and doubled the goat right up, and I thought ho had broke the goat's neck, and the woman thought so to, for she jabbed pa with the cistern pole just below tho belt, and she tried to get a hold on pa's hair, but he had her there. No wo man can get the advantage of pa that way, 'cause ma has tried it. Well, pa explained it to the woman, and she let pa off if he would pay her two J.ol lars damages to her goat, and he paid it, and then we took the nanny goat and it went right along with us. Tho baby hasn't done anything but blat since the nurse coupled it on to the goat hydrant. I had to take all my playthings out of the basement to keep the goat from eating them. 1 guess tho milk will taste of powder and singed hair now. The goat got to eating some Roman candles me and my chum had laid away in the coal bin. and chewed them around the furnace, and the powder leaked out and a coal fell out of the furnace on the hearth, aud you'd a did e to see pa and the hired girl and the goat. You see pa can't milk nothing but a milk-wagon, and ho got the hired girl to milk the goat, and they were just hunting around the basement for the goat, with a tin cup, when the fire-works went off. Well, there was balls of green, and red, and blue fire, and spilled powder blazed up, and the goat just looked astonished, and looked on as though it was sorry so much good fodder was spoiled, and when its hair began to burn the goat gave one snort and went between pa and the hired girl, like it was shot out of cannon, and it knocked pa over a wash boiler into a coal bin, and the hired girl in amongst tho kindling wood, and she crossed herself and re peated the catekistn and the goat jumped up on top of the brick furnace, and they couldn't get it down. I heard the celebration, and went down and took pa by the pants snd polled him out of the coal bin, and ho said ho would surrender, and plead guilty of being tho biggest fool in Milwau kee. I pulled the kindling wood off tho hired girl, and then she got mad, and said sho would milk that goat or die. Oh, that girl has got sand. She used to work in tho glasi factory. Woll, sir, it was a sight worth two shillings admission to see that hired girl get up on a step-ladder to milk that noat.on top of the furnace, with pa sitting on a barrel of potatoes bossing the job. They are going to fix a gang-plank to get the goat down off the furnace. The baby kicked on the milk last night. I cuess be sides tasting of powder aud burnt hair the milk was too warm on account of tho furnace. Pa has got to grow a new lot of hair ojthat goat or the woman won't take it back. She don't wane no bald goat. Well, they can run tho baby and goat to suit themselves, 'cause I Tiave resigned. REVOLUTION!
