they again rendered good music in the
street, but all failed to drum upa crowd
Including members of the Grand Army,
not more than 20 persons assembled ia
hear the lecture. Mr.. Smith decided to
give his lecture anyway, and the small
but select audience was delighted, before
he had gone far, that he did. The
lecturer, besides having been an eye-
witness to the scenes he related, had
made a study OF the battle OF Chicka-
mauga, and his remarks were deeply
interesting to the student of history.
His quaint stories of those dark DAYS oi
the rebellion were full of humor, and no
more thrilling narration of battle scenes
was ever listened to. The members OF
the Grand Army regret very much that
a larger audience could not have beer
present to hear the lecture.
Leslie Butler expects to open his bank
at Hood River about the first of April
The style of the firm will be Butler &
Co., and Mr.. Buffers son, Truman, will
be associated with his father in the
business and act as cashier, with Mr.
Leslie Butler as president. 1t is an act
of simple justice to say OF the Messrs
Butler that they are men of the highest
reputation, morally, socially and com.
mercially. The father was in business
here for the period of eighteen years
during which time he built up large
and profitable business. Truman is 9
Dalles boy who has been associated with
his father since he left school, excepting
the few years he was purser on the Reg
ulator. 1t is doing the son honor to say
he is a chip off the old block. They
may not make fortune banking in
Hood River but they will change might.

for honorable dealing that will endure
