last week, which gives direct connec-

The minstrel show given by home
talent Tuesday night was not quite as
spicy as was expected it would be. but
there were a number of very good
features in the program. A minstrel
show is about as hard an entertainment
in the theatrical line as amateurs could
tackle, andsconsidering that it was the
first time that a number of the ladies
had ever appeared before the footlights,
it would be unjust to offer any criti-
cisms. The net proceeds were about
$50, which will be used by the Village
Improvement Society towards purchas
ing a monument to mark the Old Ore
gon Trail. Those who took part in the
show deserve credit for their efforts and
the time they devoted in getting up the
entertainment for this purpose.
