The wind still continues to "0low
where it listeth" and it certainly listeth
in The Dalles, for we have scarcely had
day for weeks when it has not blown
as if possessed. We are told however,
that its "an i'll wind that blows nobody
good" and therefore should refrain from
kicking" at it, as kicks seem to be USE
less as far as stopping it's onward course
is concerned.
Saturday night the members of the
Smile Sunday school gave a "box
social" at their school house for the
benefit of their school. The room was
fairly packed, and everybody seemed to
have a splendid time. A number of the

made the bidding for baskets lively. At
its close it was discovered $26 had been
taken in, which will prove goodly sum
to carry on the work.
We clip from the Greenburg, Ind,
Standard the following notice concern.
ing Dalles young lady who is now
visiting there and whose talents seem
to be gaining favor for her abroad as
we'll as at home: Gin addition to our
local talent honoroble mention is due
Miss Georgia Sampson, of The Dallee,
Oregon, who is the guest of relatives
here. She was the leading lady in the
vaudeville specialties and was repeatedly
encored for her splendid work."
Strangers who visit The Dalles always
express surprise that town of its size
is SO favored with telephones, which is
accounted for by the fact that the price
is 80 reasonable. From a directory
which this Office g now getting out for
the Oregon Telephone Company we
notice that they are soon to offer resi-
dence rate of 81 month, and IS they
are securing additional subscribers
every day, it will coon result in much
larger telephone system than we now
| have.
