GALEDONfAf INVADES CO! Two Days' Festivities Are Most Success ful Concerts En joyed by Large Audiences Wheat City Praised. The Caledonian festivities held in this city last week, ending on Friday evening, have been pro nounced the most pleasant and successful ever held by the club. Condon has been praised for its hospitality and for the manner in which its residents joined in the celebration. The Concerts. ihe music lovers were more than pleased with the two con certs, the main features of the gathering, as was shown by their appreciation in calling for encores. The big bagpiper. Major McDonald, arrayed in all his native country's splendor.lent much life and enchantment to the occasion with the sweet and inspiring music of his bagpipe. Miss Leona Harwas of Portland, soprano soloist for the two con certs, more than pleased her hearers, displaying such natural ness, ease and range of voice in her rendition of "Loch Lomond," "Coram thro' the Rye" and "Mary of Argyle" as has never been heard in this city. Miss Alice Juston, another well known Portland singer, delighted the audience with her rich deep contralto, the perfectness and control of her voice in her "Annie Laurie," My Ain Folk" and "Bonnie Sweet" The interpre tation of sentiment, with the per fect control of their voices, in all the Scottish songs sung by these young ladies captivated all Caledonians present. F. T. Crowther in "Jessie Mc Farlane" and "The March of the Cameron Men" showed the in tense feeling carried thoughout the Scottish songs, while Judge Hennessy stirred gladness in many a soul with his, "Here's to the Glorious Highball. " Jock Coleman, already consi dered a rival of the famous Harry Lauder, so captivated, his audience by his own ever laugh able manner, that he was forced to beg for mercy. His rendition of "Inverary" and "Tobemory" more than ever won the hearts of the people. No less pleasing were the "Highland Reel," "Shean Trews" and the "Highland Fling" as danced by Miss Jeanie Thomson, Messrs. Hood, Rennie and Thompson. The dances after the concerts were a great enjoyment to all who joined in the merriment. Officers Re-elected. A business meeting was held last Friday afternoon when the officers were all unanimously re elected to fill their respective offices for another year John Dysart, chief; Jno. Jackson, first chieftain; Wm. Stewart, second chieftain; Jno. Stewart, secre tary and treasurer; Jno. Mc Lennan, piper. The next fest ivities of the Fossil Caledonian Club will beheld in Fossil next October. The Ball Came The game of Association foot ball which took place on last Friday afternoon between the Athletic Club team and the Scotch team resuled in a victory for latter by a score 1 to 0. The Scotch are old players and fam ilar with the game while the Club team knew nothing about it having always played the Rugby game. . The Scotch made their score early in the game after the honors were about even. The weather was not very fa vorable and the crowd was small CITY COUNCIL TO LICENSE SALOONS Local Option Law Loses Out. Med ford Case Cause of Change Will Give Franchise to Electric Line. The regular monthly business meeting of the city council was held last Monday evening in the city hall with all members present - The first business to be transacted was ordering a sidewalk built along the proper ty of John Scott, Wayne Grider and D. R. Parker, one crosswalk to be built by the city. A. Dams was given permission to put in a water meter at his livery stable. Bills amounting to $179 56 were looked over and ordered paid. J. E.' Hunt was refunded $15 for dirt placed in the road back of his warehouse. Attorney D. R. Parker brought up the matter of a franchise for the electric line, but after some discussion it was decided that a franchise would be granted when the company was ready to begin work and when a suitable fran chise naming streets wanted. Upon naming Ward, East and Washington streets, the council made it plain that there would be no trouble in securing one of these. - Washington, in the east part of town, will undoubtedly be used by the electric line. Perhaps the most important business before the council was the saloon license Question in which the majority of the saloon men and visitors took active part Although no definite action was taken, the council made it known that saloons would be allowed to run beginning on the 15th of this month. The main trouble was to get an understanding between the saloon men and the council as to wheth er a limited number of saloons, five as when the local option law came into effect should be allow ed to run with a raise of license, perhaps $1000, or whether it should be left at the same amount as before, $600 license, without a limited number. , This was dis cussed pro and con with strong opposition on both sides. A meet ing of the council will decide this question on the 14th when also an agreement will no doubt be passed between saloon men and council for the runningof law ful and strict places of business upon the penalty of losing their licenses. The Medford case was gone over in details and the coun cil' now believes that it has a right to license saloons and thus derive the much needed revenue. Street com. was instructed to have lower Main street from the Stephenson corner to the Bower man corner graded at once and that bids to let the contract for covering the street with crushed rock be advertised at once that the work may be carried on to completion before the bad weath er sets in. The moving picture show was granted a license of $7.50 per month. Robbed by Gypsy Women. A traveling band of Brazilian Gypsies were stopped in this city yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Campbell upon receiving instruc tions to that effect from Sheriff Kelsay of Wneeler county. It seems that W. J. Taylor, James Madlock and others were held up and robbed of $10. or $20. by one of the women of the band. Sher iff Kelsey arrived from Fossil last evening and took the offen ders back to Fossil this morning for trial Paul Brunzel and family are moving to Portland.
