The ex ercises in the Presbyterian and M E Church South Saturday eveniui; were of an entertaining nature. 1'rof llowlanddid the Santa (Jlnua act at the former place. It ia pleasing to notice that Santa Olaus' nose is becoming quite long and ol an njjtfreseive appearance. He was well ap pareled for a cooler climate than Oregon, and the pleasant pintle of sleigh bells added to the elicit. At the Concreuational church a 'ive social lime was ha.l,and the children were all remembered. Christmas (veiling the ottisr Sabbath schools held their exercises. The M K and liaptist churches bad pretty trees with appropri ate exercises and good displays of pres ents.

The Kvening Telegram states that Mayor Mason of Portland has donated fill) sacks of Hour to the needy famili.-e of that city. Mr Mason is not a rich man, but the Telegram Bays he has a heart as big as the Hocky mountains. JSig hearts are needed during the holiday season. Kx-Indlau Agent Crawford will prob ably be superintendent of the Eastern Oregon insane asylum, which will prob ably be located in Pendleton. This is counting your chickens before they are hatched, but there ia lots of fun in it for some papers. Another evidince of dull times is the fac t that a book agent sold about fiity copies iu a week or two here. People who buy books 0:1 the installment plan pay more in the long run. It ia a satis faction though to know tLat our people appreciate good literature. "Why," shouted an excited attorney in Kansas, "you can poke your head out of the court room window and call for live beers and get them in two minutes." And he thought he had made a great point Against the "administration" for the non-enforcement of the prohibitory laws, liut the opposing counsel prompt ly opened his watch and piked his head out ol the window calling loudly for live lieerB. The watch ticked oil' two minutes and the malt beverago did not come. The court ruled that the beer was not on the lawyer who made the bluff and there waa a recesa ot ten minutes. One of the live advertisers of the V S is W ij Ilonirliis. the ereat shoe man.

The resolution was to the purport that if the laliorers and material men could lie paid in full out of the bid of '-'HO,Ol)0 then the sale should be confirmed. Of course it didn't carry. Mr Wilson stated to n reporter that he did not appear in the interest of any one concerned in the present sale. This road continues the all absorbing topic, and aa well as the most vital one before the people of this part of Oregon today . Sunday a mass meeting ot employes was held at the open house to hear the report prepared by C C llogueonthe condition of the hooks of the present management. It showed a bad state of atTairs, an expense account that was ex travagant and unnecessary. Among other things telegraphing with tho east cost aa high aa $500 a month and the traveling expenses of tlie superintendent, receiver and attorneys were of a fancy character. Favortisin was shown in pay ment of accounts. For instance Slul cahey'a father was given a job of receiv ing wood up theSantiam at $100 a month, a new office created fur him, and he was paid in full. This is a sample. Receiver lladley was present and ad dressed the meeting, seeking to excuse himself, and as much as possible lay 'he blame on Mulcahey. The general opin ion ia that that gentleman really run things and that lladley haa simply been a tool. The sentiment of tho meeting waa on the line heretofore followed, that of se curing their pay and running the road under a receiver friendly to the employes Charles Clark and John T'ny, having refused to accent the ollico of leceiver the name of Mr F J Miller was presented and endorsed, and is being urged for ap pointment at tlie hands of Judge l uiier ton. He would ive general satisfaction. This mo ning a special train went to Corvallis loaded with creditots and others interested in the matter. Among others there were about twenty material men wuli hardlv a cent in their Dockets, bound to receive justice. Of tlie 110 nresent einnloves fully 100 were nresent iu mat cuy uesiuesa large numoer m oiu employes. They all meant business. On thesr arrival it was learned mni an effort would be made by Clark and Hughes to close tho road up entirely. This caused intense indignation.
