On a motion being made and second ed, that the committee's report be ac cepted and committee be discharged, a lively aorimuage ensued, and we hud parliamentary practice with a vengeance It kept the secretary scratching for a little while to keep track of the Hiiieudmeuts and motions thut were put before the society. A motion to adjourn was lost; a motion on the order of the day . was lost ; a motion to lie ou table was lost ; a mo tion ou previous question lost, and motion to postpone liidetlnltely has curried, so the committee will have to make another report.

A motion thut each mom ber be pres ident at each successive meeting, be ginning at the oldest and running down according to age, caused con siderable amusement. The ladies all voted against it, stating thut It was because they didn't want to aot as president, but one unthinkingly re marked that It was because they didn't want to tell their age. The Indies were too many, and the motion was lost. Under head of literary exercise, Pete Feldhausen sang a comio Ger man song about a large woman and small muu.

The climax of the evening came when Mr. Morton showed us bow it should be done.

After an extended visit with bis par euts, Frank Middlewsart left last week for Seattle, Wash. The Jolly Dozen' were entertained aat the home of. Mruand Mrs. J. K McGregor at "fiOo" Veoeotly. Three tables were run, and nineteen games were pluyed. tor her success in reaching the highest score, Miss Dollie Moiser was awarded one of Allium Miohelsou's populur works, "In the bishop's Carriage." Charles Beunett was oonsoled with a delicate china asb tray. Apropos to the hour a most de licious and tastefully served lunch was an appreciated feature, at which, It is safe to say. many "high soores" were reached. J.very oue was hearty In ex pressions of having enjoyed a deliebt ful evening. With this suave host and hostess, an eveniug could not be otherwise spent. Alien Wrlitht arrived In Mosier ou Sunday from Portland and made a short visit to his farm. Mosier was well represented at the Hood River horticultural meeting, which whs held at Hood Kiver on Sat urday, the loth. A few among tbe number In atteudauoe were: James and Ueorge Carroll, A. P. liateham W. A. Sturk and Mr. Stauffer. They report having bad a very profitable meeting. The pupils in district No. 52 have looked forward with fervid antioipa tlon to the '"JUna of fiebruary." ou which date they are giving a colonial party in the old Mosier ball. A grand time is expected by tbe pupils, aud under the management of their em cieut teacher. Miss A. L. Uulovsou. there is no doubt but that their ex pectations will be fulfilled. All those who have lieeu fortunate enough to have received an invitation may look forward to an entertaining program, and a display of many auitquated cos lumen. There is, without, doubt, a unani mous sentiment of satisfaction thro out Mosior in tbe location of tbe North Hank railroad depot at Bingen, wasn. iu the event that we are al most absolutely deprived of the privil ege of passenger truffle here at pres ent, and with uo expectations of bet tor a rvire to look forward to in tbe future, it does, of a melancholy neo essity, liehoove the citizens to cast their etfort elsewhere in search of oommon accommodations for the trav eling public. Thus, in the north bank road recognltzng Bingen as a location for its depot, 't being a nearby and an accessible point to Mosier, it seems n uie very nature of things, to invite our pntrounge there, in case aocom modatlons are lacking ua here at nouie. A deplorable fact which we are sorry to say is an unpleasant re amy Homing wun us. On Sunday.

Large mills are now ready to locate on our read in me irour, Liake country, whioh we think will put the road on a paying basis at ouoe," he said. Mr. Moore also stated that he was going to Hood Riv r next week to meet a oivil engi neer wbo Is here in tbe interest ol California capital, and together thev will go over tbe proposed route. We understand this company only asks $20,000 bonus, beginning at or uear tbe Wbite Salmon dook and extending its Hue to Uulor postomoe. a distance of about 40 miles. It seems as though tnat amount ought to be raised bv tne settlers along tne Hue; then. again, why not some of these large mill companies who want iu on tbe ground floor, "put up." ine people must oome to tbe rescue if we expect to obtain tbe road. It Is reported on good authority that tbe company has an option on a water right and two acres of grouud ou the frank Moore homestead. We can only surmise what may be Iu the fu ture, but we are extending tbe glar! nand lor anything which in auy way wm nasten me development ol our beautiful and fertile valley. U olden- dale sentinel.

T. PRATHER Tht Oldest Insurance and Seal Estate Agent in town Insurance Loans Abstracting Hood River, Oregon SUNDAY DAY of REST But even rest frequently be comes tiresome. You know this is so. You lie in bed, be cause you can do so until you are almost too tin d to get up. Eat a late breakfast and sit around the house un til you are so tired that you think you will go to church and on returning you get your morning paper. This is a diversion for a while, but after a time you commence to paw the sheets over and yawn. You are tired reading the paper so you commence to saunter about the house with your hands in your pockets and perhaps for sheer want of something to doyoukick the dog a couple of times. By this time "rest" has got on your nerve to such an extent that you feel that you must take a walk. It is now near dusk and af ter you walk about for a while aimlessly you start for home tired of every thing. As you come around by the de pot you see a large white building lit up with electric lights and you hear the strains of good music and on looking up you see in gilt letters MT.
