EkS GLADDEN.
Many Children

Thursday evening the Elks brought
gladnes sinto the hearts of over four
hundred children, besides grownups
who looked on at the fun. Some
hundred dollars worth of presents
were given away to the little ones.
The first part of the evening was
passed with some amusing reels of
pictures, and to hear the siren laugh
ter of the tiny tots was worth a dol
lar to see. Later Professor Vining
announced that he has received word
from Santa Claus that the jolly old
saint would soon arrive. The breath
less hush that fell over the children
was childlessly ludicrous. Then Mas
ter Hal Wolf came out before the
open fireplace and the big Christmas
trees and spoke "The Night Before
Christmas" Every word and line of
his piece, though familiar to all, was
eagerly taken in by the youthful
minds.
Then, wonder of all wonders, with
jingle of sleigh bells and tramping
of feet, in stepped two frosty beard
ed Santas, much surprising the chill
dren, who did not know that there
were brother Santas. George Wat
son and G. Clifford Jenkins officated
in this capacity. The first present
pulled off the tree was for Eddie Sta
pies, and was big stick of striped
red candy, an "all day sucker
Then for an hour and a half pres
ents were given out to the kiddies,
who stood up in their eagerness to
see and to receive. Over four hun
dred presents were given out The
merry laughter and cooings over the
different gifts were a pleasure tc
hear.
Eight hundred and twenty were
seated in the Vining on this occa-
sion, the largest crowd that has ever
been in the theatre. The little folks
who occupied all of the downstairs
space, were doubled up two in seat
in some cases.
The general committee which had
charge of the entertainment was
composed of ]. E. Thornton, Frank
Jordan, 1. E. Vining, E. T. Staples
and w. E. Newcombe. Mrs. C. H
Vaupel was chairman of committee
of ladies. Prof. Vining had charge
of the decorating. .-- a

Methodist Concert
Attracts Crowds

The sacred concert given at the
Methodist church Sunday evening
was one of the most finished of it's
kind. The program opened with
Hymn No. 107, followed by prayer
and the anthem, while Shepherds
Watched" by the choir. Mr.. STRAIT
ton next sang "The Angels Mes
sage" beautiful song written by
Louis r. Gressler. Next in order
came quintet, THE Christmas Mes
sage sung by Miss Engle and the
Messrs. McGee, Howell, McGee and
Ever. Mrs. Charles Wolf favored
the audience with a well-rendered
solo, "Salve Regina" a noble piece
breathing the spirit of the evening.
The cantata, Star of the East"
was series of exquisite numbers,
in which Miss Engle, Mrs. McGee, DR..
Tilton, d. d. Norris, Harrison How
ell, Mr.. Ever, Mrs. Wolf and Mr..
Stratton took prominent parts with
great credit to themselves The
chorus work was especially appreci-
ated by the hearers, there seeming to
be perfect blending of harmonious
notes Mrs. Van Fossen acted as or
ganist and Howard e. Ever as di-
rector.
The church was crowded to stand
ing room with an appreciative audi
ence. Decorations fitting to the
Christmastide were arranged about
the interior.

Bonanza Victim]
Of Many Fires

For the fourth time in the last
four years and half the town of
Bonanza suffered a severe fire last
Saturday when the big flour mill op-
Grated by Warren and Merle Kilgore
burned to the ground, says the Klanl-
ath Northwestern. The mill cost
$4,000 and only small part of this
was covered by insurance.
All day Saturday the mill was busy
grinding flour and at about 6 o'clock
those operating it went home for din
ner. They had hardly sat down to
eat before they noticed smoke and
flames coming from the mill and be-
fore aid could be given the building
had tumbled in and soon was wholly
consumed, excepting the machinery.
The fire is believed to have started
from the dynamo and other electric
apparatus.
Probably not even ancient Rome,
which was necessarily harassed by
hostile tribes of barbarians, suffered
worse fate at the hands of fire than
has the little four-leaf clover town
of Bonanza. 1t was in May, 1910,
when over half the city fell before
onrushing flames, and twice since
then large portions of the town have
been swept away. Had these three
fires not occurred Bonanza probably
now would be three times its present
size, but the rebuilding has lacked
much of equaling the work done by
the hand of fate.

Fire Damage
Is Over $1,000

A fire occurred on Mountain av-
enue, near East Main street, last
evening, at which bungalow belong
ing to II. l.. White burned irrep-
arably. The loss was over 81 300,
which was the amount that the fur
niture and structure we're insured
for. The alarm was telephoned in
by a Tiding3 employe, who saw the
flames from distance The fire
truck made a good run and was on
the job in very few minutes. Tho
fire was under big headway, how
ever.
1t is thought that the blaze started
from a defective flue, as Mr.. White,
after returning from Gold Hill, had
built fire and during his absence
of about an hour it started and
gained headway, so that when he re-
turned he found the lire department.
working away at it,
Strickland was the only volunteer
fireman on the job throughout the
fire. Kenneth McWilliams and Lynn
Mowat helped the firemen.
Last nights fire showed up the in
efficiency OF the volunteer system,
unless it is properly regulated. The
city has no slickers or coats for tho
volunteers to wear, and to go to "a
fire Is to do several dollars worth of
damage to clothes. 1t is probable
that this matter will be brought up
at next council meeting and the
necessary clothes protection will be
bought. While seventy-five cents an
hour is paid to the volunteers, yet
that has not compensated for the
drenching and soiling of volunteer
| firemen's wearing apparel.
Those now on the volunteer list
are A. l.. Strickland, II. o. Butter
field, G.. C. Jenkins, M. b. Robson,
Dave Sergeant, o. T.. Deibert, Sam
Jordan, J. L. Crowson and Louis
! Werth.
Insurance on the bungalow was
carried with the Billings Agency.

Harry H. HOSler
Good Decorator

Harry Hosler, the popular proprie-
tor of the Euwana cigar store, has
one of the most novel and ingenious
windows that has been arranged in
the city for some time.
The casual observer, looking in the
window, sees a CLASSY pool, and down
in the clear depths there hovers a
big trout. A dirt bottom to the pool
is also depicted. The spectator then
investigates more thoroughly and
sees that the pool is a mirror and
the fish is suspended in air above it,
while still farther above is a slab
coated with dirt and sand. The
whole represents good deal OF plan
ming and ingenuity.

Exceptional Vining
Holiday Feature

Friday and Saturday nights The
Spoilers was again presented to the
Ashland public. Friday night tho
theatre was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity, about half of them being peo-
pie that had seen the film before
when it was here, but wanted to wit
ness it again. Saturday night the
theatre was again crowded, many
coming again and bringing new ones.
Everyone pronounced il to be the
most gripping, red-blood photoplay
that they had ever seen.
The management of the theatre
can well take credit to themselves
for the splendid photodramas that
they have presented
In March The Silver Horde will be-
released and played at the Vining.
The Silver Horde is the sequel to
The Spoilers, and in 1t Cherry Ma
lotte, that noble girl of the Alaskan
camps, finds her true lover, and the
little scar which mars the ending OF
The Spoilers is eradicated.
Tuesday night only the Passion
Play will be presented It promises
to be exceptional as il is color
production, and the effects are very
beautiful. This film will interest all
the people of the churches, and IL is
hoped that many children will be-
present to gain clearer and better
idea of some OF the vital teachings OF
the Bible than they have ever known
before.
