Measles.

At this time, while measles in varied
forms is epidemic in and around The
Dalles, it might be we'll to call the at
tention Of parents to the i'll effects
that are almost certain to follow in
the wake of this ailment should not
due care be observed in the treatment
of the sickness and care of the child
afflicted. The same is true whether
it be German measles, OK measles, red
measles, black measles or measles of
any kind-it is measles just the same.
The greatest care should be observed
that those afflicted do not take cold.
Don't let them go out of doors, and
don't confine them in poorly heated
room. Give them an even temperature
and not too much light. Heavy colds
taken IN connection with measles may
deprive the sufferers of sight or hear
ing, or bring about throat disease.

PROF. LANpERs ELECTED.
He is Advanced to Principal of The DaiIes
School.

He is Advanced to Principal of The DalIes
School.
For some time past the resignation
of Prof. John Gavin, principal of The
Dalles public schools, to take effect at
the close of the present school year,
has been in the hands of the board OF
directors, and at meeting of the
board held Tuesday afternoon, Prof.
J. S. Landers, who has held the posi-
tion of first assistant the past year,
was elected principal for the ensuing
year.
During the four years Prof. Gavin
has been principal of the schools of
this city, his work has been most salts
factory, and it is a source of regret
that the district is to lose his valuable
services. However. he will be sue
ceeded by an able educator, since dur
ing the year that Prof. Landers has
been connected with the schools he
has shown himself in every respect
capable of assuming the duties that
will be required of him as principal.
The action of the board in thus early
selecting Prof. Gavin's successor is
indeed commendable, since Prof.
Landers will be afforded an opportu-
nifty during the remainder of the term
to more thoroughly familiarize him
self with the workings of every de-
partment. and will be enabled to con-
tinue them in the same able manner
they have been conducted in the past.

Many suffer from poor eyesight who
could be relieved. but neglect to have
their vision corrected in time to save
or improve the sight, and as age creeps
on they are afflicted with blindness or
blurred vision instead of having strong
bright eyes. Do not deceive yourself.
If you have defective sight. do not pro-
crastinate, but have your eyes attended

Good vision is boon to be cherished.

the scope of its authority. 1t adopted
bylaws for the government of its bus
mess, to which every natural person
who became member of it or a stock
holder in it, bound himself. Among
other things It agreed Chat is, all the
natural persons constituting it, that its
principal place Of business should be
Sacramento; which means that all of
the business which it was authorized
to transact should have its origin in the
city of Sacramento.
When the assessment, which is the
subject of this suit, was levied, the OBJ
legation was, therefore, incurred in Sac
ramento, which, under subdivision of
section S32 c. c. P, is deemed to be the
place in which it is to be performed,
in the absence of a special contract to
the contrary. Now, if there was a
special agreement between the defen-
dant and the corporation, that if any
assessments were levied upon his stock,
they were to be paid by him in a coun-
ty other than that in which the prin
cipal place of business Of the corpora
ton is, it would be incumbent upon
him to show the existence of such an
agreement There is nothing in the
record beIOre me WHICH SHOWS THAT
there was any such agreement.
1T seems to me that it would be UNI
reasonable to hold that a corporation,
consisting of members who might be
residents of different counties in the
State, desiring to enforce against its
members obliga tons arising by reason
Of the relations between such persons
and the corporation. involving an
amount of which the Justices Court
would have original jurisdiction, would
be compelled to leave its principal place
of business and go to the different par
ties for the purpose of bringing actions
therein and thus enforcing such obli-
cations.
1.-THE order of the Justices Court
granting the motion to dismiss, and the
judgment entered thereon, will be re-
versed, and the defendant will be given
five days from notice hereof, within
which date to answer or demur.

CHINESE METHODIST MISSION
CHRISTMAS TREE BY THE CE-
LESTIALS.
The Songs That Fong Sing Sang,
as Well as Those Sung by Fong
Lung and Others.

The Christmas tree and excellent pro-
gramme given at the Chinese Metho-
dist Mission on Third street last night
drew a great crowd and standing room
was above par long before the exercises
We're opened. Americans, as well as
Chinese, turned out to fill the hall and
show their appreciation of the enter
tainment and of the excellent work that
has been done by Mrs. Page and her
daughter Ethel, who have charge or
the school, and under whose directions
the evening programme was carried
out. Too much praise cannot be ac-
corded Mrs. and Miss Page for the
high standard to which they have sue
ceeded in bringing the school
The rendition of the first part of the
programme showed that the adult mem
bers of the Mission have been making
rapid strides in more directions than
one, the text reading being in the main
clear and distinct, and the readers eVl-
IDENTIFY understood the meaning OF the
text
But the singing both of children and
adults was a revelation. It showed
that when Chinese depart from their
national alleged music they are really
~
class songs with a vim and snap, and
each turn, even in the most dlfhcult
tunes, was taken with an ease that
showed the effects of careful training
and a general aptitude and ear for mar
mony. The adults also showed a
knowledge of vocal music that was sur
prising, and the male quartet rendered
several selections that would compare
favorably with the vocalization of many
who consider themselves very good.
Several solos, also, notably those by
Fong Lung and Fong Sing, were worthy
of special notice.
Miss Blaisdel, one of the sweet sing
ers Of this city, gave a solo which was
received with applause on the part OF
her Chinese hearers, and which was
thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
After the programme was finished,
Santa Claus put in an appearance, and
every Chinese tot present and there
were many of then1-was given prac-
tical Illustration Of the Christians s
Christmas, in the form of those things
which gladden. the childish heart, re-
gardless of creed, color, or previous
condition
