Another Pleasant Dancing Party Given ut
the K of p. Hall Last Evening.
There is probably not another town
on the coast that has had more and
pleasanter dancing parties than The
Dalles has had during the past ten
days. The dancing season is rapidly
nearing an end and every one seems
anxious to enjoy it as much as possible
before it is to late.
The one1given Wednesday in the
K of P. hall by some of our young
people was indeed enjoyable, and as
nothing could be done to Increase the
pleasure of the guests was overlooked
it is unnecessary to say that all had a
splendid time. The music was fur
nished by A. T. Baldwin, Albert Bet
pingen and Marcus Long, while Pat
Mcneil acted. as dispenser of bever-
ages and IN his artistic and genial
fashion dealt out cooling drinks to
those present.
The dancing continued until past
midnight when the merry dancers bid
one another good night with hopes
that. this would not be the last OF the
season. Those in attendance we're:
Mr.. and Mrs. Hal French, MIR. and
Mrs. A. G. Gsiger, Mr.. and Mrs. J. G.

both positions drove the enemy back.
From the high towers of the city

by prosecuting Attorney Jayne at 2:45

plead as earnestly as two men could,
and the large audience listened breath
lessly to their convincing arguments.

tives
Rev..M Bovard presented the cause of
relieving churches from taxation.
Speaking of the situation in San Fran

that If the church tax We're repealed
the Catholics would be the greatest
benefciares
And what OF that?" said the speak
er. II would not be guilty of asking
that the Methodist and Presbyterian
churches be relieved of tax If the Cath
