81 years old at the time of her death.

month after their marriage they
started across the plains to this coast,
arriving in Vancouver, Wash, on the
11th day of October, 1852. They made
there home near Portland until 1854,
when they moved to Southern Oregon.
In 1862, thirty-seven years ago, they
came to The Dalles, and this has been
their home ever since. Many old resi-
dents remember when they resided on a
pretty little place about quarter OF a
mile up the railroad track, place which
has since been destroyed, but was then
as an oasis in desert.

WHAT THEY MISSED.
A Splendid Opera by the metropolitan
Company Last Night.

"'Tis the same thing over again. and
the majority of Dalles people over
looked an opportunity to hear splendid
opera last night at the Baldwin. Many
looked at it in the light that a dollar
seems good deal to pay for the priv
ilege sof hearing an opera, which re-
quires a.good stage, put on where there
is absolutely no facilities for such pro-
duction, and only one thing IN it's favor
that the acoustic properties are good.
Over and over again last night did the
audience wish that it might be heard
from large stage, with better settings.
But many times have our people paid
70 cents and 81 .for plays which could
not be mentioned in connection with
last nights opera, despite the disad-
vantages.
Mascot is a very pleasing little
opera, and the music at once classic and
catchy. This company has added many
comic features and situations which
keep the audience in a roar of laughter.
Never did we hear SO many new and
| pithy witticisms SO well cotton off as
those of last night. The puns were not
of the chestnut nature so often heard,
but new and good and when coming
from two such perfect comedians as
Maurice Hageman and Eddie Smith
were simply side-splitting. Indeed, the
makeup and acting of these two could
not be beat, while their constant ap-
| pearance on the stage was a source of
great satisfaction. Hagemen also.has a
good voice, and Smith is not far short
of him in this respect. They are i'm.
mense.
viii Rising as "Peppo," the shep-
herd, has form and carriage just
suited TO the character, and as the lover of
I"Bettina" was not, as is so often noticed
in stage love-making, lacking in that
ardor SO necessary to the part. His
voice is also good and, blended with that
of 'Bettina" in the aGobble duett,''
was particularly rich; but showed to the
best advantage in his solo in the second
act.
''Bettina,' the Mascot" was very
pleasing, and the most energetic little
actress that has been in The Dalles for
many day. Although her voice was
lacking as to depth in the middle and
lower tones, it is SO sweet, her acting SC
good and her appearance SO taking that
not a fault was found with her.
| The choruses were filed with good
voices and splendidly acted Indeed
the whole performance vas one which
should have demanded crowded house
and cause those who failed to attend
much regret.

The Toledo Public School.

This is my first letter to the
paper, as the correspondent was not
elected until Monday, January 10Th.
We wish to tell the people what
pleasant school we have, and to
interest them in our work that thev
may come an visit us and see for
themselves how we are prospecting.
Many of our schoolmates have
been compelled to miss a good deal
OF school on account of whooping
cough and La Grippe, but we are
glad to say that all are better and
are returning to school once more.
The average attendance in Pro-
fessor Holm's room this week is
thlrty-hve, there being forty en-
rolled.
Professor Holm gave us permis-
sion to whisper about our lessons,
but he began to think, probably
not without reason. that we whis-
pered too much about other things.
Monday afternoon he talked the
matter over with the school, and
the majority of the pupils decided
that we would prosper better if we
did not whisper at all. We are
going to try at least and see if we
can prove it.
Those who were on the roll of
honor the first month of the second
term were as follows: Seventh
and Eighth grade pupils, Professor
Holms teacher, Jesse Reeder, AL
bert Ewing, Iona Ewing, Mamie
Wakefield.
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth grades,
Miss Julia M. Taylor, teacher:
Oracle Ross, Aileen Hawkins and
Vera Starr.
First, Second and Third grades,
Miss Collision, teacher: Selma
Thompson and Tilda Thompson.
Parents and friends, our teacher
has given us the privilege oI
organizing literary society, tha,
we may take more interest and il
will also help us.
If some of the patrons Of the
school would take interest enough
to come and visit us it might hell
and encourage our teacher.
