Hello OltIlsns' As50cIatl0n,
Hello
What about the school election? What
does your association propose to do in the
matter?
We hope not to be obliged to take any
part in the matter as an association. That is
no part Of the purpose for which our organi-
cation was formed. We shall take no hand
in it whatever unless the political parties by
their nominations make it necessary for us to
take action in order to preserve the public
schools from being degraded by party man
sgers, and msde stepping-stone for political
preferment In that case we shall act.

A Social SENSATION. Our town was a
little surprised last evening to learn of
an elopemcut and marriage for which
few citizens we're prepared. II seems
that Mr.. V. Ii. Brown, the Portland
piano tuner, has long been smitten with
the charms of Miss Minnie Sparkling,
and by his attentions and devotion had
succeeded in carrying the citadel of her
heart. Not so, however, with the young
lady's parents; her father failing to give
his ,nsent to their marriage, while the
mother positively refused. This has
been going on for yoar or more, Mr..
Brown remaining faithful and making
repeated efforts 10 gain the desired con-
scnt. Failing in this, though, be pro-
posed an elopement to Miss Minnie.
who. after proper display Of rcluct-
amos, consented. He was here a couple
Of days ago, when the Anal plans we're
made. Miss Sparkling. with the consent
VI her mother, stayed Thursday night
at the house Of young lady friend. In
stead Of returning homo Yesterday as
expected, she went to Tacoma ON the
Zephyr, and there. "a soon ~ the license
and minister could he procured. she
Was married TO Mr.. brown, intending to
20 with him today TO Portland.
The family here suspected nothing until
late In the afternoon. when an idea Of
the truth dAwnsd upon them. only to DO
confirmed an hour or two later by pas
aenQcrs ON the boat from Tacoma.
Though their course will not be wholly
approved In the higher social circles.
still W trust and believe Mr.. and Mira.
v. II. Brown will never have cause to
regret their matrimonial venture.

uated on a beautiful platea",
adjoining Burke's second addi-
ton, and overlooking Lake Wash
iagton, being a little more than a

mill now building on that lake.
To those who wish to invest in
cheap property l would say that
there are not, in all the plats Of
outside property, any more desir-
able lots than are to be found in
this tract. The mountain and
lake scenery is grand The soil
is well adapted to gardening and
fruit trees, and, taken altogether,
these lots are very fine They
will certainly sell very fast at the
prices asked, so cali at once and
secure bargains.
Price, $50 to $50 each spe-
