the season: The gymnaisum was beau
tifully decorated with evergreens. Greek
pennants and Japanese lanterns, electric
lighted, with pretty places for sitters.
Eighty-three couples were present, in
cluding a number of prominent young

A Dep6t Like Albany's.
The man who built the Albany depot
went to Corvallis; where he said he had
the contract for erecting a depot like
the one here for the business of that
city, and would begin work at once.
A depot like the one here would be
just about right for Corvallis, but it is
not half large enough for the large
union business of this city.
There were 12,892 arrests in Port
land during 1909.
Miss Christine Pipe returned this
