Judge Obey of Portland delivered an
address, which was enjoyed by all as to
his ready wit, by which he kept his
hearers convulsed with laughter. AL
though on the democratic ticket, we
would accuse him of being two-thirds
populist, of which his speech was mainly
based.
The May picnic was attended by
large crowd of people, who all seemed O
be happy and in good spirits The
grove is very prettily situated on 10
Mile, about one-half Mile above Mr..
Bottoms. The day was perfect, and
Mother Nature had done all in her
power to make the surroundings attrac-
tive. The exercises of the day opened
by the crowning of the May-queen, who
was personated by little Amy Johnston,
after which the May pole was wound by
twelve merry lads and lassies, who wove
the bright colors in and out in perfect
rythm to the lively music of the band.
The next order of the day was dinner.
with which everyone was well supplied,
and for some time the air was filed
with merry laughter, accompanied by
the clatter of dishes and the delightful
aroma of coffee. The small boy was
seen in all directions clutching in one
hand drumstick of some unfortunate
fowl that had been slain for the occa-
sion, while the other was occupied by an
orange or other signs of his gala day.
A march or flag drill, which was per-
formed by two dozen girls or so, was an
interesting feature of the day. They
bore flags of the different nations of the
world. They went through the figures
of the drill with a correctness that told
of the careful training for which Mr.. !
E. s. Hinman deserves great credit,
Messrs. Isenberg, Jayne, Adams and
Shelley, Judge Bennett, Prof. Frazier
and others made few remarks to the
crowd. Music was, furnished BY the
Dufur Brass Band. All who went ex4
pressed themselves as well satisfied with
the days entertainment, which was a
grand success, as is everything Prof.
Frazier undertakes. In the evening the
young people enjoyed hop, which end
ed the May picnic that will be remem-
bered as joyful event by all who were
present. QUIZ.
