CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING

c. W. Lord, assistant cashier
Of the Condor National Bank re-
turned Tuesday evening from
The Dalles where he had been
to attend the Golden Wedding
university last Saturday even
ing of Mr.. and Mrs. w. Lord.
The Dalles Chronicle in comm
enting on the event says in part;
1T was The most brilliant affair
of the whole social season. The
handsome residence on Court
Street was lavishly decorated,
no pains having been spared to
add to its beauty. From a min
iature garden of Palms and bay
trees in the reception hall were
waited sweet strains of music
as rendered by Birgfeld's orch
estra. Miss Elizabeth Laughlin
and Wentworth Lord were unit
ed in marriage in The Dalles on
January Is, 1861. The bride
was a member of an old and
prominent family with whom
she crossed the plains in the
early days. The groom is an
active business man and is
identified with the leading in
dustries of this city. An object
of considerable interest and ad-
miration to all was the engage
ment ring, which was a tiny
5and Of blue enamel quantity
set with a diamond. Ices were
served by Mrs. Chas. Lord of
Condor and Mrs. j. C. Hostel
ler."
Mr.. w. Lord is well known to
Gillian County people. For
many years he held the position
of President of the Condor
National Bank and of the Arl !.
ington National Bank. Heis still
a stockhoider Of the former In
stitution but resigned recently
from the presidency because of
his extensive interests elsewhere,
but still retained that position
with the Arlington Bank. Their
friends in Condor wish them
many more years of happiness
together.

MAY CHANGE
ASYLUM SITE
Question Raised as to Advis-
ability of Locating the
Branch Insane Asylum
on Grounds Recently
Selected at Pendleton.

Governor West, State Treasur-
er Kay, and other state officials
viewed the site recently selected
at Pendleton for the location Of
the Eastern Oregon Insane Asyl-
um and these gentlemen are Of
the opinion that it will not be
practical to locate the buildings
thereon. Part of the ground lies
on the hillside and the remainder
is on tie river bottom and the
new board asserts that as bed
rock is so near the surface ON
the hill land it will be very ex.
pensive to grade a building site.
They also state that the bottom
land overfows frequently and as
a consequence the soil is thin
and rocky. The Governor has
sent a message to the Legisla-
ture requesting the appointment
of a commission, two from the
Senate and three from the House,
who are, with a special commit
tee, to investigate and if neces.
sary, select new site. Condor
citizens are much interested in
the matter aud hope the
charges made against the site
chosen cannot be substantiated,
but if they are, a suitable loea-
tion should be purchased before
the state is put to an unnecess-
ary expense in grading the old
one.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES
BY Ross Kennedy.

Mrs. Mark Blakely and Mrs.
Cochran We're visitors at School
Tuesday afternoon.
Grace Beeson has been absent
from school this week on account
of sickness.
Mid-year examination begins
next week and most of the pup
Ills are diligently preparing for
it. Some will not be compelled
to take the examination owing
to the fact that those who have
made above 80 per cent in the
four monthly tests are exempt
from the examination.
Apout 25 pupils in this county
are taking the eighth grade ex-
animation this week. They are
distributed as follows; IL at
Lone Rock. 8 at Rock Creek, l
at Arlington, 2 at Badger. 2 at
Keys Flat, and Madge Hardie Of
Trail Fork is taking it in Condor.
The law requires pupils to spend
at least seven months of time in
each of the seventh and eighth
grades before they are eleg ible
to take the examination and
this prevents the pupils of Con,
don from taking it as they have
not yet spent seven months in
the eighth grade. They will be
we'll prepared to take the May
examinations.

Planetarium, a device of nature,

GAINS BRINGS
SUIT FOR LIBEL
Governor West and Others
Made Defendants in a
$25, 900 Damage Suit
Gillian County Farmers
Interested in Outcome.

F.W. Gaines. a rate expert,
has filed suit at La Grande. Ore
gon. against Governor West.
State Senator Oliver and Geo.
n. McCurry. a former editor,
tor libel. He says that s25, 600
will compensate him for his
damages. The article in ques-
tion was written by West at the
time when he was a member Of
the railroad commission.
Mr.. Gains is the same gentle
man who made contracts with a
number of Gillian County farm
ers in which he agreed to see
that the railroad rates on grain
from Condor to Portland were
reduced for which he was to re-
ceive a certain per cent of the
reduction as a fee. The farmers
upon hearing that Mr.. Gains
had nothing to do with the re-
duction Of the rates refused to
pay him the money demanded.
The case Is therefore of more or
less local interest and the out
come will be watched closely.

PEAK SISTERS
ENTERTAIN
Ladies of the Ugo Igo Club
Present an Enjoyable
Comedy at Armory Hall
Tuesday Evening" $45
Added to Treasury.

The entertainment given in
Armory Hall Tuesday evening
by the ladies of the Ugo Igo Club
was greeted with a crowded
house and was without a doubt
one OF the most laughable and
enjoyable comedies ever pulled
Off in this city. Thirteen Of the
ladies of the club appeared in
costume representing the Peak
Sisters Of Alaska and their num-
erous stunts kept the house in
a continual uproar for about two
hours. Mrs. Ferris, as Keziah,
Manager Of the company. read o
lengthy document setting forth
what was going to happen, after
which Mrs. Dottie White sang a
couple Of songs to the accomp-
animent of q guitar which were
greatly appreciated. Betsy, the
prima donna, Mrs. Roberta
Weinke, was next on the pro-
gram and delighted the crowd
with q song and an exhibition of
the Terpsichorean art in a hobble
skirt which, TO say the least,
was the extreme of fashion.
Following this came the twinses,
Delidnora and. Elianora, Miss
Eugenia Bouchet and Mrs. Ger
trude Robertson, whose antics
were most amousing and called
forth several encores. Mrs.
Ethel Dennis as Felinda, under
study to the prima donna. sang q
comic song and in answer to the
applause which followed sang,
Aunt Dina's Quilting Party"
Geraldin, (Mrs. Robena Parman)
gave a couple of highly intel
lectual recitations while Mrs.
Anna Johnson as Carolina pre-
sented a discourse on Man"
which showed much deep thought
The accordian solo by Isabella
Jane, Mrs. Mary Anderson,
would without doubt have
brought tears to the eyes of the
old masters, while the coffee
mill tune by Mrs. Clara Price, in
the role of Katrina was familiar
TO all. Narcissa, (Mrs. Roma
Gage) was suffering from the
grippe so badly that she was un-
able to do anything except de-
liver a few extra violent sneezes
for the edification of those
present. Mrs. Nellie Wilburn
as Marindy the sad sister, pune
tuated the different scenes with
copious weeping and carried out
her part to perfection. Lucinda,
Mrs. Anna Barker, without
doubt made the hit of the even
ing by singing my Bonnie lies
over the Ocean" in a voice a.
bout three octaves higher than
was ever dreamed possible by
even the most ambitious soprano
singer on the stage today.
The opening selection by the
Wheat City Orchestra and the
cornet duets by Messrs, Clarke
and Harlan added much to the
occasion and were greatly ap-
preciated. The local hits inter-
spersed here and there through
out the evening were very much
TO the point and taken altogeth-
er the ladies proved that mere
man is not at all nessessary
when it comes to getting up q
show and we hope to have the
pleasure of attending another in
the not very distant future.
The Club is about $45 to the
good on account of this enter
tainment,
