A New TowS-The Oregon Improvement

Endicott go, 900 feet of lumber from their
yard at Dayton. Six 4-horse teams are con-
stantly employed in hauling this lumber
from their railroad terminus at Texas Ferry.
Endicott is situated on Rebel Flat in section
81 townships II and Al, at a point where all
roads from the upper country cross Rebel
Fiat via MullOcks bridge ON the Palouse.
II. Thielsen, Chief Engineer Of the o. X. 4

The offer was gladly accepted by the CON-

THE SuoPrISG HoUR.-Ladies residing in
this city are in the habit Of doing a great
portion OF their shopping at night. Whether
this is general habit of ladies or not We do
not know, but having never noticed it 20
much in other cities, We judge it to be pecu-
larity of the Walla Walla ladies. One thing
we do know about it is that every rough in
the city is as well aware of the hour Of shop
ping as the ladies themselves, and they are
seen standing and impudcntly gaping about
the streets at that time, feasting their bieared
eyes on yirtuous beauty that at midday they
wonld not dare to look upon. ''The witch
ing hour of night" is the soilea mantle oi
crime. Whether it is good time for shop
ping or not We viii not say

"America is sending us prime beef and mut-

mony Of installing its officers for the present
year, and just as the members were study
ing up little speeches for the good Of th-
order. the sounds Of an enemy climbing the
walls Of their stronghold was plainly audible.
moment of breathless silence followed the
first alarm, which was followed quickly by
a light siege a. the outer door, aud the ioud
blast of trumpets and ether wind instru-
ments composing Prof Borlon's Cornet
Band. The band was follow ed by the wives,
sisters and sweethearts of the members of
Lodge No. ?, who had been escorted IN tri-
u,nphsl array from the Slime Honse up Main
street to the stronghold, and who presented
an address through their worthy champion
ess, Mrs. Robt. Stott, to the Noble Grand
MIR. II. E. Holmes. Mr. Holmes, seeing the
nature of its contents, asked if it was their
sweet Will that the communication be read.
They replied in the affirmative, when he pro-
ceeded to read ~ follows.
To OUR HUSBANDS, BROTHERS AND FRIENDS:
We have captured yoi; you are onr priso-
ners. We have often wondered what II Is OF
interest that kept yOn, and called You here,
and your erasive answers have given us no sat
isfaction. So we have bearded the lion in his
den, and now demand that, without further
delay or evasion, You at once make known TO
Us your awful secrets. Where's the goat
Give Us, we demand Of you, the passwords
Explain those mystic grips Show us where
the refreshments are kept, whose aroma fingers
cOquettishly around your persons when you
come stealing home near midnight Answer
these things truly and we will show our appre-
ciation of you and your work, by taking
charge Of you and caring Tor yon, the remain
der Of the evening"
After the reading of this address a counsel
Of war was quietly held and IL was decided
to surrender conditionally. allowing each
lady to take prisoner. The prisoners were
taken and marched to the Slime House where
one of the finest suppers ever enjoyed was
furnished by these same captivating ladies'.
Long live both the ladies' and their gallant
companies Is the wish of the STATESMAN.
