The Dalles Optimist On Wednesday evening a crowd of merry serenaders, armed with tin cans and pans, horns, whist les, etc., surrounded the house where P. P. Jarvis now lives and endeavored by making night hid eous to show their appreciation in a good, old-fashioned charivari, of the marriage of "Bob" Fitz water and Pauline Cochran, who were supposed to be staying there that evening. However, after serenading for an hour in a man ner that caused the inhabitants within half a mile to think that the Indians had again taken to the warpath, and without elicit ing any response from the cou ple, they withdrew from the scene saying, "What's the use."

Football Came Was Called Off. The football game between Condon and Fossil, which was scheduled to take place on New Year's day, was not played, for the reason that at the last min ute word was received from Fos sil that they could not. get their team together. There is some thing decidedly funny in the way the football situation between these two teams has been worked this season. First the Fossil team challenged the Condon team to meet them at Fossil in three days and the Condon boys wish ing to oblige them and get the 4..J J 1 I i played them and were beaten, 6 to 5.' The Fossil boys promised to play a return game in a few weeks, but after the Condon team had defeated the Weston boys, they refused to play, giv ing no excuse except that the boys there did not wish to meet the Condon team at that time. Then again on Thursday of last week they challenged the Condon team to meet them at Fossil on the following Saturday, giving only two days to get in readiness. It was finally arranged to meet in Condon on INew Year's day, but on Monday morning the Con don boys thinking the weather would be too severe to get a crowd to make expenses called the game off. However, when the weather had moderated on Tuesday the local team, although having no practice at all, thought it best to meet them regardless of expenses and accordingly phoned for them to come and re ceived the reply that they would, but later they called up and said that it would be impossible for them to come. It seems that Fos sil is determined to have the best of it when these two teams do meet, but be that as it may, if the Fossil team ever meets the Condon boys on an equal footing they will come to the conclusion that they do not know the game and will probably wish they had never heard of it The building on the east side of lower Main street, formerly occupied by the Belvedere saloon is being torn down and the lum ber used elsewhere. The build ing, on account of its age and general state, was considered unfit for use.

Are fast coming into use and ranchers are finding out their good points, ' The International Harvester Co. has added a trac tion attachment to its engines and during the past two years has tried them out and found them to be a grand success.

The company will carry a large stock of them at Portland and a large supply of repairs as well Their prices are some hundreds of dol lars less than any other traction engine on the market and the freight charges much less. They are fully guaranteed by the com pany and you'd better Bee Hunt the Hardware Man before buying any other kind.
