CHRISTMAS DRIVES.
What Awaited Their Eyes at the New
Willamette.


The bill Of fair printed in theEvEN
ING JOURNAL revealed the fact that
a menu of about one hundred and
fifty dishes awaited the guests at the
Willamette for Christmas dinner.
The program was carried out in full
excepting, q few items of imported
game which missed train and ar
rived too late. This was regretted
only by the proprietor, who seemed
to give his steward carte blanche to
procure for Sslem's high-class hotel
a high class dinner on all extra occa-
sions.
THE DECORATIONS.
The dining hall was elahorately
festooncd, with wreaths of evergreen
twining about the columns and reach
ing to the chandeliers, from each of
which was suspended the Mistletoe.
The gas jets Were surmounted by
Christmas wax candles. AT the
proper moment, as the dining room
was thrown open, the jets and elec-
trio arc lights were turned out Only
the dim light of the hundreds OF
tiny candles, fiickering like fireflies
and the green and rose-tinted illum-
nations from Chinese lanterns re
manned to heighten the glory of the
scene. The fifty table. each with
chairs for eight were Respondent
with snowy napkins and shining
silver service of polished pattern,
Tables of cut flowers and fruits com.
/ pleted the effect. At the far end o.
the room Merry Christmas" IN
large letters of evergreen welcomed
The guests. An orshestra of harp aud
violins made the air sound with
music from $50 to S y. m, when the
last guests retired. The decoration:

Mr.. VIM. Anderson, was also thor
oughly appreciated.

since Port land can not get the

Salem she is making an effort 20 es-

scheme is grand II properly carried

commendable. The Methodist

only point making any active bids
for The school, has abandoned the
attempt
The Salem school has many ad-
vantages over the school which may
be started in Portland, both in age
and reputation and several hundred
graduates, who as time passes will
flock around their old alma mattel
and will contribute the money tc
4 her funds. Salem has all the ad-
vantage of location, being the center
of the state, the capital and in lit
erary city and not commercial
center, which, as history bears out
is not progressive place for school
Portland claims Willamette uni
versiiy has not, in the conviction ol
many of the more progressive Meth
odists of Oregon, measured up tC

other school in Oregon. The build

Willamette has favorable reputa

and doing no serious injury.

counties that have no log school
houses are, Curry, Malhsur, Marion,

THE CHAPEL READING.

Miss Lucia B. Grifir's reading al
the [ University chapel on last oatur-
dsy evening was largely attended
and every seat in the large audi
torlum room Of the chapel was
occupied. Her great power as an
elocUtionist lies in her power of
mimicry and representation. Her
selection Of "Oyer the Hills TO the
Poor House" brought tears 10 the
eyes Of many Of her hearers.
Though tina. selection has been rem
dered before Salem audiences sew
erai times, never before was il so
perfectly given. If VIII Carlton
could have heard her render it, he
would have beeR constrained 10
confess he made success in writ
ing it. Her mimicry Of "Bobolink" !"
and her impersonation of "A
Naughty Girl" were perfectly sus-
tanned. "The Goblins VIII Git

tainment was thoroughly enjoyed

COMING TO sALEG.


Mrs. Louise Humphrey-5mith, Of
California, is expected 10 give a
reading at the opera house Jan. 10,
1891. Hear what California says:
'sOf all the readers that have been
heard here, and many there have
been that have come and gone,
perhaps no single one gave SO much
pleasure TO cultivated listeners az
the lady who appeared under the
auspices Of the Chanting Club OF
this city. In Mrs. Louise Humpb-
rey-Smith was found an Interpreter
of Browning Of the rarest quality.
The perfection Of delivery and
articulate music, satisfying as it
was, was still subordinate to the
delicate spiritual insight aud power
of thought transmission that made
her readings revelations. An effort
is being made to get this gifted
reader here at the approaching
Christmas holiday season, and for
the sake of the lovers Of Literature
it is hoped it may prove successful. "
Los Angeles Times, Nov. IS, 1880.
THE COMING TREAT.
AT the opera house ON New Years
night the Second Regiment band
will give a grand musical entertain
ment and minstrel play. Nothing
will be left undone to make the
event one of the most pleasant ever
given by home talent, and that is
saying great deal. The boys are
now rehearsing their parts daily,
and everything seems in favor OF
q large house. The program will be
new and spieed with wit and humor.
The musical part of the program
will lie NO lees interesting than the
other parts. No one who desires to
drive away the cares Of business for
: few hours should miss this treat.

gave those under his cane who were
able to enjoy such a treat Of fine
Christmas dinner. More Of that ex.

asylum farm than probably any
farmer in the county produced at
home, setting the same Kind of n din
ner. After the enioymcnts Of the
day were over the evenings pleas

eight in the evening was given to
