The Local News Of Aurora city.

Aurora, Or, Feb. 25.-The roller
skating craze has struck here at
last The big Lewis and Clark hall
has been turned into skating rink,
and is open three nights In the week
and Sunday afternoons. Merchants
here have bought up all the skates
to be had in Portland, and then did
not have enough to supply the de-
mand.
The city water works Is at a stand
still, owing to the delay in getting
the big gasoline engine that was or
dered in Portland several months
ago. The well was put down 40
feet, and 100 feet of water was al
lowed TO accumulate in the well be-
fore It was pumped out, and the re-
suit has been that large portion of
the~well has caved in. The cave-in
occurred in blue clay, which the well
diggers in this section say Is strange
The we'll is all piped, and as soon as
the engine comes to the city the city
council will have the water pumped
out to see what kind of flow they
can get. Some of the knowing ones
say the cavern stopped the flow OF
water. and that the council will have
to have the we'll bored deeper, which
will mean much additional expense.
The people OF Aurora, Barlow,
Candy and Hubbard have been prom
ised electric lights again, but at an
increased cost of one-third. No def
mite time has been made for the re-
sumption of service. and those who
signed with Manager Hurst at the
increased rate for the juice don't
know where they are at-whether to
walt until the light plant gets good
and ready to do business, or go
ahead and put in gasoline lights and
coal oil lamps.
A number of friends and relatives
of ex-Alderman and Mrs. VIM. Giesy
gave them a complete surprise party
Sunday evening, the occasion being
their fifteenth wedding anniversary,
II was one of the pleasantest social
events of the year.
Many OF the farmers around here
report that they are losing grain ev-
cry night through thieves. Some OF
the heaviest losers have watched for
the thieves. but with no results. One
man was so close upon the grain rob
ber that he left his scoop shovel In
the grain bin.

 But Ollie knew better, and her dis appointment was keen.
 Where is Eunice at?" MT. Morning star asked, coming back from the kitch- en porch, where he had gone to look for her.
 A search ensued, in which the girl could not be found either in her own bedroom of in the front room with the young lady boarders nor yet in the garden with "the doc" who was stroll. ing about in the twilight smoking. Where could she possibly be? The suspicious circumstance that Abe also was not about pointed to the possibil- ity, almost the certainty, that they had gone off somewhere together.

 The indignation of Mrs. Morningstar against both Hen and her foster daugh- ter was quite equal to Ollie's. NIT. Morningstar was hardly less cha grined. for he had been more than satisfied with the prospect of so good a match for his daughter, and he did not wish to part with Eunice at all

 "Well, then, if Eunice don't look so high, there's me. I'm better fixed than what Abe is. And her not havin' no aussteuer wouldn't make me nc difference"
 Hens tongue was fairly running away with him.
 Again Ollie turned to stare at him in dumb amazement
 What you talkin', Hen? What would you be wantin' to give hopes to Eunice fur when you're my regular comp'ny?"
 That's where you're makin' big mistake, Ollie."
 The fatal words were out. Hen grasped the arms of his rocker as though to save himself from plunging into an abyss that yawned at his feet.
 "Makin' a mistake! How am I mak- in a mistaken" the bewildered Ollie demanded. "Ain't you settin' up with me Sundays?"
 If I am, it ain't because I come here fur that intention. It's because yous all had misunderstandin about the lady friend I wanted to pick out which it was Eunice and not you, Ollie."
 Now that Hen had got started it seemed as easy as rolling downhill. He exulted buoyantly, like one who had shaken off shackles. Ollie rose and confronted him, her dull complexion flushing deep red.

Pop says what did he raise her fur all these years just to leave her run when she's old enough to be of some use and pay him back fur his supportin' herr"
 Wont you go tell her Pm waitin' here to set up with herr" Hen pleaded.

 She turned her back on him and left him. He waited, fsirly quivering with .ageraess for the appearance of the sweet, fair girl whose image filled his dull soul. Were his many weeks of dreaming about her about to be crowned with the actual realization of the bliss of sitting up" with her? Would she in few minutes be seat ed in this chair at his side, her hand clasped in his? His ecstatic expecta- tion quite drove from his mind the spleen and disappointment of poor Ol- lie.
