ENTERTAIN
Ladies of the Ugo Ijjo Club
Present an Enjoyable
Comedy at Armory Hall
Tuesday Evening $45
Added to Treasury.
The entertainment given in
Armory Hall Tuesday evening
by the ladies of the Ugo I go Club
was greeted with a crowded
house and was without a doubt
one of the most laughable and
enjoyab'e comedies ever pulled
off in this city. Thirteen of the
ladies of the club appeared in
costume representing the Peak
Sisters of Alaska and their num
erous stunts kept the house in
a continual uproar for about two
hours. Mm. Ferris, as Keziah,
"hianager of the company, read a
lengthy document setting forth
what was going to happen, after
which Mrs. Dottie White sang a
couple of songs to the accomp
animent of a guitar which were
greatly appreciated. Betsy, the
prima donna, Mrs. Roberta
Weinke, was next on the pro
gram and delighted the crowd
wiih a song and an exhibition of
the Tei pnichorean art in a hobble
skirt which, to say the least,
was the extreme of fashion.
Following this came the twinses,
Delidnora aniL. Elianora, Miss
Eugenia Douchet and Mrs. Ger
trude Robertson, whose antics
were mt amousing and called
forth several encores. Mrs.
Ethel Dennis as Felinda, under
study to the prima donna, sang a
comic song and in answer to the
applause which followed sang,
"Aunt Dina'a Quilting Party."
Geraldin, (Mrs. Ilobena Parman)
gave a couple of highly intel
lectual recitations while Mrs.
Anna Johnson as Carolina pre
sented a discourse on "Man"
which showed much deep thought
The accordian solo by Isabella
Jane, Mrs. Mary Anderson,
would ' without doubt have
brought tears to the eyes of the
old masters, while the coffee
mill tune by Mrs. Clara Price, in
the role of Katrina was familiar
to all. Narcissa, (Mrs. Roma
Gage) was suffering from the
grippe so badly that she was un
able to do anything except de
liver a few extra violent sneezes
for the edification of those
present. Mrs. Nellie Wilburn
as Marindy the sad sister, punc
tuated the different scenes with
copious weeping and carried out
her part to perfection. Lucinda,
Mrs. Anna Barker, without
doubt made the hit of the even
ing by singing "My Bonnie lies
over the Ocean" in a voice a
bout three octaves higher than
was ever dreamed jossible by
even the most ambitious soprano
singer on the stage today.
The opening selection by the
Wheat City Orchestra and the
cornet duets by Messrs, Clarke
and Harlan added much to the
occasion and were greatly ap
preciated. The local hits inter
spersed here and there - through'
out the evening were very much
to the point and taken altogeth
er the ladies proved that mere
man is hot at all nessessary
when it comes to getting up a
show and we hope to have, the
pleasure of attending another in
the not very distant future

SUIT FOR LIBEL
Governor West and Others
Blade Defendants in a
, $25,000 Damage Suit
Gilliam County Fanners
Interested in Outcome.
F W. Gaines, a rate expert,
has filed suit at La Grande, Ore
gon, against Governor West,
StaW Senator Oliver and Geo.
II. McCurry, a former editor,
for libel ' He says that 125,000
will , compensate him for his
damages. .The article in ques
tion was wiitten by West at the
time when he was a member of
the railroad commission.
Mr. Gains is the same gentle
man who made contracts with a
number of Gilliam County farm
ers in which he agreed to see
that the railroad rates on grain
from Condon to Portland were
reduced for which he was to re
ceive a certain per cent of the
reduction as a fee. The farmers
upon hearing that Mr. Gains
had nothing to do with the re
duction of the rates refused to
pay him the money demanded.
The case is therefore of more' or
less locnl interest and the out
come will be watched closely.

CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDIKG
C. W. Lord, assistant cashier
of the Condon National Bank re
turned Tuesday evening from
The Dalles where he had been
to attend the Gilden Wedding
anniversity last -Saturday even
ing of Mr. and Mrs. W. Lord.
The Dalles Chronicle in cemm
enting on the event says in part;
"It was the most brilliant affair
of the whole social season. The
handsome residence on Court
Street; was lavishly decorated,
no pains having been spared to
add to its beauty. From a min
iature garden of Palms and bay
trees in the reception hall were
wafted sweet strains of music
as rendered by Birgfield's orch
estra. Miss Elizabeth Laughlin
and Wentworth Lord were unit
ed in marriage in The Dalles on
January 15, 1861. The bride
was a member of an old and
prominent family with whom
she crossed the plains in the
early days. The groom is an
active business man and is
Identified with the leading in
dustries of this city. An object
of considerable interest and ad
miration to all was the engage
ment ring, which was a tiny
band of blue enamel quaintly
set with a diamond. Ices were
served by Mrs. Chas. Lord of
Condon and Mrs. J. C. Hostet-
Ier."
Mr. W. Lord is well known to
Gilliam County people. For
many years he held the position
of President of the Condon
National Bank and of the Arl
ington National Bank. He is still
a stockholder- of the former In
stitution but resigned recently
from the presidency because of
his extensive interests elsewhere,
but still retained that position
with the Arlington Bank. Their
friends in Condon wish them
many more years 01 fiappiness
together.

duced in the State Senate, a-

IUY CHANGE I
ASYLUM SHE
Question Raised as to Advis
ability of Locating the
Branch Insane Asylum
on Grovnds Recently
Selected at Pendleton.
Governor West, State Treasur
er Kay, and other state officials
viewed the site recently selected
at Pendleton for the location of
the Eastern Oregon Insane Asyl
um and these gentlemen are .cf
the opinion that it will not be
practical to locate the buildings
thereon. Part of the ground lies
on the hillside and the remainder
is on the river bottom and the
new board asserts that as bed
rock is so near the surface on
the hill land it will be very ex
pensive to grade a building site:
They also state that , the bottom
land overflows frequently and as
a consequence the coil is thin
and rocky. The Governor hza
sent a message to the Legisla
ture requesting the appointment
of a commission, two from the
Senate and three from the House,
who are, with a special commit
tee, to investigate end if neces
sary, select a new site. Condon
citizens are much interested ' in
the ; matter ' and - hope the
charges made against the site
chosen cannot be substantiated, -
but if they are, a suitable loca
tion should be purchased before
the state is put to an unnecess
ary expense in grading the old
one.
