ANNIVERSARY OF KNIGHrHooD.
Thirty-Fifth Anniversary of the Order
Celebrated by Friendship Lodge.

| Thirty-Fifth Anniversary of the Order
Celebrated by Friendship Lodge.
February 10Th was the 35th ami
versary of the order of Knights of
Pythias, and the occasion was appro-
priately observed by Dalles Knights.
Castle Hall was comfortably filled with
the guests of the lodge and when Chan
cellor Commander Huntington raped
for order at $50 every seat in the spac-
ious lodge room was occupied.
Ths exercises began with a piano
solo by Mrs. Varney, followed by an
invocation offered by Rev. L Gray
pastor of the Lutheran Church. This
was followed by vocal solo, ''It Was
Thus to Be-" rendered by Miss Myrtle
Michel, in her usual pleasant manner.
Next Master Clyde Gilbert recited
that touching verse "a Brothers
Hand" Then Chancellor Commander
Huntington, in q few well.chosen re.
marks introduced Hon. VIM. Cake, of
Portland, who delivered one of the
most pleasing and scholarly addresses
ever listened to in The Dalles. Mr..
Cakes theme was friendship and he
handled the subject exceedingly well.
Prof. Lundell sang "The Bugler"
exceptionally we'll, and respond
ing to hearty encore, rendered
a pleasing solo that was hap
PLY received. This concluded the
program, and both halls were con-
verted into dancing rooms, and until
after IL o'clock the guests and mem
bers engaged in dancing. which ter
minated most enjoyable meeting.

FOR BETTER ROADS.
A Feasible Plan Suggested by the Com
merciaI Club Committee.

A Feasible Plan Suggested by the Com
merciaI Club Committee.
The question of good roads leading
into the country is one that is of vital
importance to every town, but Is
probably of more Importance to The
Dalles than most other places, since
this place must depend almost solely
upon its traffic with the outside, hav-
ing no manufacturing industries that
are large employers, and in fact not
being a great creator of wealth.
This is recognized by the CONNER
cial Club, and its committee on COM
merce has devised plan that is prac-
ticable and if carried into execution
will result in good roads leading in
every direction from The Dalles. 1t is
this: A fund is to be created by popu-
lar subscription from the business men
of the city for road building and re-
pairing. The committee has made
careful estimate of what should be
subscribed by the different business
houses, and has estimated that $500 a
month can be raised for three months
to be expended on roads. The COM
mittee has further made an estimate of
proba 5le expenditures that will put
every road leading into The Dalles in
good condition. This includes eight
laborers at Sl.75 day, one man and
team at So. so day and one foreman at
$500 day. This would be an ex-
pense of $507 month, which for three
months would, the committee believes.
put every road leading into The Dalles
in first class repair.

A Valuable WORK.
Sunshine and Shadows of Seventy Years by
Mary A. LIyermore.

This new and superbly illustrated
book is the crowning life work of the
famous Mary a. Livermore, and. as
she herself states, it is the last that
ever will come from her pen. 1t is
narrative of her life from infancy to
old age, portraying the sunshine and
shadow of seventy years of the most
marvellous career, told in her own
words.
1t seems almost incredible that a
woman now 50 famous made mud
pies" in her childhood, was often sent
supperless to bed, and was frequently
bounce't down into a kitchen chair
with an emphasis that caused her to
''see stars" When yourg girl,
gtruggling to support herself, she took
in 'slop.work," made shirts, and sub
sequently learned the trade of dress
maker at which she worked for twenty
five cents day. At eighteen she ran
away from home like boy" and
spent three eventful years on a
Southern plantation years full OF
comedy and tragedy, and packed with
thrilling experiences.
Mrs. Livermore threw her whole
heart and soul into measures for the
relief of sick and wounded soldiers,
and spent four years as nurse in the
Union army. Her intellectual great
ness and nobility of character led her
to rise from those thrilling experiences
to become the beat known woman of
America, and opened the way to her
phenomenal platform career, that has
continued for more than thirty years.
At her feet millions of people have sat
and listened in admiration and wonder.
The rich and poor, the high and low,
the learned and unlearned have been
alike thrilled and moved by her burn
ing words. She has swayed brilliant
audiences of fashion: has spoken in
state prisons. jails, and penitentiaries:
to audiences composed of outcasts,
and to audiences numbering thousands
Of children. In this autobiography
she gives many "reminiscences of her
platform experiences, with anecdotes
and incidenos "too funny for anything
The book is splendidly illustrated by
beautiful and costly full-page photo
gravure plates and portraits, and over
one hundred fine text illustrations.
Many of them are intensely humorous,
while others depict thrilling scenes
full of pathos and tragic interest.
Mrs. c. M. Sisson has the sole
agency for the book in Wasco county.
