WED VAUDEVILLE BY ATHLETIC CLUB Will take place Janu ary 31st Club buys billiard table Will give reception. The Condon Athletic Club will present a vaudeville in the Skat ing Rink Monday, Jan. 31st and their program consists of about a dozen numbers, each one of which will be a feature in itslf. There will be a forty-minute farce, the cast for which will be publisedin these columns next week; four athletic specialties, by the best athletes of the Club; three vocal solos rendered by Condon's best singers; a reading by Miss Fitzmaurice, who is a favorite with all Condon audien ces; a piano solo by Miss Brown, and a sketch by Mr. and Mrs. William Gross, which promises to be very good as these young people rank high among the am steurs of Oregon and have won for themselves an enviable repu tation. In fact, in every num ber the parts are to be taken by the best available talent the town affords, so the people who attend the performance are as sured a pleasant evening's en tertainment And, incidentally, the proceeds will be added to the building fund. Popular prices, 25, 35, and 50 cents. The entertainment committee consists of Fred A. Edwards to whose careful management a great deal of the success of the play "Uncle Ruba" recently giv en by the Clnb, is attributed, Marcus Portwood, who is a prom inent factor in the plays given in Condon during the past year. and Ray Tracy and Harry Fitz- maunce. Turn out and give the Club a boost At the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees last evening it was decided to buy the billiard table from the old commercial club who made them a very , flat tering offer, showing their good will and faith in the Club. It was also decided that it would be necessary to remodel the build ing to some extent in order to ac commodate the table which work will be commenced at once. A small charge per game will be made to the players, and it is thought that in this way the ta ble can be paid for in a much shorter time. The resignation from the Club of 0. C." Veatch, who is soon to go to Fossil, was accepted although much regret was expressed at losing a mem ber of Mr.'Veatch's standing. The Entertainment committee was instructed to make arrange ments for a reception to be given the members of the Club and their friends which will take place at the Clubhouse within a few weeks, it is thought on St Valentine's day. The applica tion of Walt Graves to become a member of the Club was favor ably reported. The usual bills were allowed after which, the Board adjourned until their next regular, meeting. .", M Concerning the value of the Athletic Club to the town, Rev. J. P.

For the past five years the eyes of the eastern people have been turned to the west In no other locality have the people shown such a keen desire to come to a country where the climate is almost semi-tropical. 1 The words of Horace Greeley "Go west young 'man and grow up with the country", is the by word of the people who desire to seek their fortunes in a place of plenty. A people that are look ing for literature relating to the country which has set the hearts of all easten men aglow; a coun try to which they desire to come in order to avoid the rigors of the severe winters, is their wish. The West is on the tongue of nearly all eastern men. If they themselves have not seen it some of their friends have been here to see the wonderful opportuni ties which lie dormant to be tak en up by the men who will cast their lot among us, and labor for the fruits which nature has lav ished upon the western people so generously.'
