Supervision of Industrial Agent
&. q. Judson.
r. G. Judson, industrial agent of the
q. r. & N. railroad, passed through
The Dalles saturday on business
trip. He informs us that it is his in.
tention to hold a farmers institute in
this city on March 1st and I'd.
At present he is doing everything he
can possibly do to make the institute
a success, and one that will be profit
able to every farmer in this section.
Mr.. Judson is an untiring worker
and very successful as was plainly
demonstrated at the Wool Growers
convention of which he had charge
last year.
As yet he has not the program for
the institute fully arranged. but has
already secured some of the best au-
thorities on horticulture. moisture,
fruit and grain raising, shipping and
numerous other subjects of great in
terest to every farmer.
The following are list of those who
haye already been engaged to speak
at the institute, and the subjects
which they will discuss. Hon. James
Withycombe, state veterinary, on the
subject "Tlllage factor in the con-
servation of moisture" This is a
subject which is of grave Importance
to tillers of the soil in this compare
lively dry climate and will undoubted-
ly be listened to by all who can attend i,
since the manner in VIII ich the soil is
worked has much to do with its hold
ing the moisture, and Mr.. Witty
combe will be able to give many valid
able hints in this regard.
Prof. A. B. Cordley' another able
speaker. will discuss the subject of
"Fruit Pests and Spraying while
Professor E. A. Lake will take for his
subject "The Coming Horticultural
Problems" Education of the Flu
lure" will be the subject of Prot G.
W. Shaw's talk, while Professor A. B.
Leckerby. the we'll known expert on
grasses, will tell those present ''How
to make our Homes Pleasant"
The important subject "The Pack
ing of Green Fruit for the Eastern
Market" will be discussed by Profess
sor W. W. Phillips, while lady from
Minneapolis, Minnesota, will give our
young ladies, who are not yet thor
oughly yersed in work in the culinary
department, an interesting talk on
Cooking"
The meeting will be held on We'd
nesday and Thursday. March 1st and
I'd, and will undoubtedly be we'll at
tended by farmers all over the inter-
ior.

At O'Clock this afternoon the
steamer Regulator will be given trial
trip down the river from this place,
for the purpose of testing the machin
cry and ascertaing If 1t is in perfect
order before the boat is pressed into
service between The Dalles and Port
land. AS soon as business increases
so that two ooats will be needed on
this line the Regulator will be ready
to once more pillow the waters OF the
Columbia.
The greater part of the ice has al.
ready gone past, and only few large
cakes can be seen silently gliding by,
but they are not sufficient to make
any trouble for the boats, 80 that
present indications are that the D. +.
& A. N Co. steamers will have no fur
ther difficulty this season. They have
been forced to tie up their boats three
times during the past winter on ac-
count of the ice. and it is hoped that
this will be all for one year since they
have had more than their share.

An EsJoYAsLE DANCING PATTY.
Given Last Evening at the Z. of p. Hall

Given Last Evening at the Z. of p. Hall
In Honor of Misses williams and stott.
Although there has been numerous
pleasant dancing parties in The Dalles
during the past winter, still there has
been none among them all that was
more enjoyable or more fully ap-
preciated, or one that was better ar
ranged for the pleasure of the guests
than that given by Mr.. and Mrs. Hal
French at the K. of P. hall Friday
| evening of last week.
The party was given in honor OF
Misses Pearl Williams and Susie Statt
OF Portland, and was attended by about
twenty five couples, principally young,
unmarried people.
The music was. furnished by Prof.
Birgfeld's orchestra consisting of six
pieces and, to dance to such perfect
time and harmonious strains was in.
deed pleasure.
The small hall was used as head.
quarters for refreshments, where cool
| ing drinks were served the guests by
"Cash." the accommodating darkey OF
the Elete Tonsorial parlors, while
Mesdames Crandall, Pattei SON and
Dean served the guests with ice cream,
| cake and other delicacies. Shortly
| after nine the orchestra opened the
| dancing with the sweet strains of a
waltz, and from that time until past
mid night the dancing continued, with
| only the usual intermission between
| numbers and the time necessary to
partake of refreshments. Those pres.
| ent were:
Mr.. and Mrs. M. 2. Donnell, Mr..
and Mrs. J. Weigel, Misses Anna and
| Bessie Lang, DoriLhea Fredden, Laura
Thompson, Mamie Cushing Maybel
Mack Clara Davis, Elizabeth and Clara
Sampson, Annette, Rose and Myrtle

man, L. Porter. Samuel Nutting, F.

Victor Marden, b. Liebe, W. Frank,
| c. Ballard, G. W. Crossen.
Never was q more unanimous vote
cast than that of the guests at the
conclusion of the program that most
delightful time had been spent, and
that Mr.. and Mrs. French stand first
among entertainers cannot be doubted
by those who attended last evenings
party.
