At this season of the year swindlers
and peddlers of every description be-
gin their operations throughout the
rural districts in gulling the residents
and fleeing them out of their hard
earned savings. The advice of the
COLUMBIAN to all is not to have any
thing to do in a business way with
total strangers, however plausible their
arguments may appear; and we
caution all never to sign paper Of
any character whatever for them, un-
less absolutely certain that it is what
it represents upon its face and in
contents.

The entertainment given in the
Opera House on Tuesday evening
under the direction of Miss CohilI,
was attended by an appreciative audi
ence. The participants in the pro-
gram with three exceptions were child
rem ranging in age from ten years
down to three, and the N .ner in
which they performed their parts was
very amusing, and exhibited careful
training, and no doubt the exercise of
great patience on the part of their
teacher. The musical dumb bell
drill was very pretty and was grace
fully done by six little girls, and four
boys. Eudora Oswald, Marguerite
Eshelman, Charles Waller and
Richard Oswald danced minuet very
nicely. The ''four little kittens" was
another enjoyable feature. The
Brownies, Drum Major Jim, ten
little grandmas, pretty songs, May
pole dances, kindergarten, and nearly
every number of the program, were
heartily enccred.
Mrs. Elmer f. Melick sang in her
usual excellent form, and Miss Anna
F. Dunkel recited "The Naughty
Little Girl" in very pleasing way.
Excellent music was furnished
during the evening by Miss Maude
Runyon, c. p. Elwell and +. E.
Miller.
1t is to be regretted that entertain
ments of this kind do not draw as
large houses as many of the second
class travelling shows that come here.
Home talent ought to have at least
as much encouragement as the stran-
gers that come here merely for the
money they can carry out of the town.

The fact that the circulation of

Creamery Meeting.

An interesting meeting of dairymen
was held at the council chambers on
Saturday. Mr.. Bernard addressed
them on the subject Of dairy farming,
showing them that the day OF
private dairies was passing away and
the advantages to be derived from the
concentration Of their products in the
establishment of creameries, and illus
trated the same by referring to the
business houses in Portland in 1897,
which at that time were each doing a
general merchandise business; but one
by one concentrated their capital into
one line. Allen & Lewis into grain,
III. w. Corbett and Failing & Son into
hardware. Lavier & Burnside into
flour. and Others into boots and shoes,
dry goods, etc. So general farming
must be divided up according to soil,
climate and markets into special lines,
dairylng, fruit raising, grain and veg
etables. A committee of three was
appointed to secure pledges OF cows
for two years and report next Satur-
day, namely, NJ. l.. Jones, Silas
Fletcher and Sam Caplinger, 1t was
confidently asserted that the number
of cows required could be obtained.
