nesday at the picnic grounds on Mission
| creek, seven miles east of this city.
| quite number of rigs carried the
| members of the organization out to the
beautiful spot on the banks of the rush
| ing mountain stream, and there amid
| the grandeur of the scenery and in the
| enjoyment of perfect weather a most
| enjoyable day was spent. Hampers full
OF good things to eat formed large
part of the loads drawn by willing
| horses, and the party spent the day in
| the manifold amusement common to
| such excursions. The ladies returned
to this city in the evening and all re-
| port an excellent time.

| bia School of Oratory in Chicago and
j was graduated from that institution a
year ago with high honors. She re-
| Gently gave a recital in the Auditorium
| in Portland and was very highly COM
| plimented by the press of that city.

| measures the hours of the evening, the
dance continuing until the roseate lines
of dawn gilded the eastern horizon.
