paid a number of visits to Walla Wal
la. is reported to have been rounded
up into the sheriff's Office at North
Yakima last Friday and tenderly ad-

MUST COME UP TO STANDARD
More On All Butter Is
Legal.

Attorney General Atkinson has adj
vised State Dairy and Food Commits
siOner Davies that the rule he has
adopted of refusing to issue a state
brand for butter in cases where the
sample furnished did not score 80
points or more is a legal regulation,
The attorney general also rules that
the commissioner must treat as a
creamery any place where butter is
made, no matter in how small quanti-
ties. Certain butter makers in small
quantities did not consider themselves
subject to the provisions of the law
and many of the creameries objected
to the regulation regarding the issu-
ing of state brands.

ASSEMBLY BALL At AsToR HOUSE
Preparations All Complete for the Big
Dance to Be Given in New
York.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-The Assem-
bly, ball, which will be given at the old
Astor house on lower Broadway this
evening, promises to be one of the
most interesting and brilliant social
events of the season. On that oc-
casion memories of Olden times, when
the old Aston house was the center
of New York's social and political life,
will be revived. Once more, as sixty
years ago, society, dressed in silks and
satins cut after the styles of those
days, will meet in the large ballroom
Of the old hotel. Crinoline, powdered
hair and patches will be worn by the
ladies and gay colors will run riot in
the ballroom, when the opening bars Of
the Polonaise will invite fair danes
and gallant gentlemen to dance.
Sixty years ago the AstOr House
was the center of New York life There
statesmen, politicians, social leaders,
writer's, and heads of business inter-
ests gathered, and to be a guest there
at $1.75 a day, meals included, meant
an entrance to society. Many famous
dinners, receptions and balls were CIV
en- at the Aston house between 1910
and 1860, and it is to revive inter-
est in this period of New York history
and in old New York generally, that
the lall is to be held. Everything
reminiscent of the 40's, which prop
erly might adorn a ballroom, has been
gathered for the occasion. Old por-
traits have been hung on the walls and
trimmed with garlands; old -fashinOed
curtains have been placed on the win
dows and the gasoliers will be SCREEN
ed by bowers of flowers. The dane
CTS will wear the costumes of the 40's,
and it is expected that there will be
Ii gorgeous display of old family heir
looms in the form of jewelry
