PROFESSOR CROOKS GIVES ADVICE Simple Exercises Mark High School Commencement 12 Graduates to Enter College Five Will Teach. Thrilling hla auditors with his mes sage of inspiration and convulsing the house with Tils quaint humor, Pro fessor Crooks, of Albany College, Fri day night addressed the largest grad uating class the Oregon City High School has sent forth, on the subject, "Being Young." Professor Crooks urged upon the members of the class the necessity of retaining the enthusiasm and sincer ity of youth as the means of attaining the meed of success that is before them. He also urged the continuance of the study habit that they may con tinue the development so well begun. Following the address by Professor Crooks, President Harding, of the srhol board, in a few well chosen re marks, presented the diplomas to the class. Three of the class have been honored with scholarships by higher Institutions of learning, all being won on merit Pacific University gave two, the recipients being Fay Batdorf and Bothwell Avison. Harold Smith won equal honors at Whitman. The mem bers of the 1911 class are: Thornton Wayne Howard, Frederick K. Baker, Ray Stanley Welsh, Milton George No bel, 'Maude Alice Park, Hazel M. Tooze, Harold Avery Smith, J. Both well Avison, Madge Brlghtbill, Bernice Dawson. Ethel Rhoda Purslful, Ray Leslie Scott, Zeta Mae Andrews, Louise Alvina Matilda Deute, Margar et Jane McCulloch, Frank Gilbert Clark, Fay C. Batdorf, Evelyn Hard ing. Ethel W. Kidder, Bess Warner. .For the future of the class, twelve are going to enter college, five will take up teaching, one will study law and two are undecided as to what they will do. It Is seldom that a class makes such a showing In this respect. Shively's presented an animated and beautiful scene appropriate to the occasion. The front of the stage was hidden behind a mass of beautiful floral offerings that filled the whole atmosphere with their fragrance, anJ packages of presents were piled in prodigal profusion among the flowers. A program Bitnple, but impressive, marked the passing of the High School days for this group of young persons. After a song bv the school Glee Club, Rev. Zimmerman, of the Methodist Church invoked the blessing. Pro fessor Tooze then Introduced the speaker of the evening. The address was followed by the presentation of diplomas and scholarships, closing with another song by the Glee Club, j The general ensemble an the grad uates sat in their places on the plat form facing the audience was an in spiration to better things long to be remembered. FIVE READY TO ENTER SECOND YEAR AT HIGH SCHOOL GARY SPEAKS. Five pupils of the West Oregon City School were promoted from the Ninth to the Tenth grade at exercises held at the school building Thursday even lug. There was a large attendance at the promotion exercises, which were unusually fine. The class con sisted of Wallace Ptpoun, Raymond Parker, Carmen Schmldll. Joseph Armstrong and EUanore Papoun. One of the interesting features was the address of Superintendent of County Schools Gary. 'n 'd of his expe riences as teacher and principal. Pro fessor J. Dean Butler, principal of the Oak Grove School, also delivered an Interesting address. Professor C. F. Anderson, principal of the West Ore gon City School, made an Interesting and Instructive address on "Aim and Accomplishment The "Whip-Poor-Will" song by the pupils was beauti ful. Miss Clara Winkel being the solo ist. Miss Winkel was complimented on a floral ladder which she made for the pupils. There were five rungs, representative of the number of mem bers of the class. The other features of the program were a class history by Joseph Armstrong, or tne Mntn grade; a duet, "Sweet Memory Bells," Miss Hattle G. Brown and Miss Pearl Bailey: valedictory, by Carmen Schmldll, and" a song, "Those Even ing Bells." by the pupils. The vale dictory address was excellent. C. L Gray, chairman of the Board of Di rectors, presented the promotion cer tificates. The school does not receive pupils above the Ninth grade, and it is expected that all of the pupils will enroll with the second year High School class In Oregon City In the fall. The Seventh grade pupils also were given certificates of promotion. EIGHTH GRADE MEMBERS WIN LAURELS AT CLOSING EXERCISES.

The play was given under the di rection of Professor Jolley, superin tendent of the Parkplace High School, and he, as well as the young people participating, are deserving of much credit The assembly room was filled to Its capacity with an enthusiastic audience. The play was in five acts. The cast of characters was as follows: David Mason ..Kenneth C.

The exercises were to have been held In the Eastham School, but long before 10 o'clock, the time set for the beginning, the big assem bly room was crowded, and hundreds clamored for admittance. As a result. Superintendent Tooze decided to have the exercises In the opera house, which was well filled. The recitations of Melba Kidder and Roberta Schuebel were especially fine. The former appeared as an Imitator of girls less gifted than herself in the art of declaiming. She showed re markable versatility, and kept the au dience laughing almost all the time she wag on the stage. Miss Schuebel was just as clever in her line, and de llented the, audtence. The Retf. W. M. Proctor delivered an interesting address, the most im portant feature of which was his ad vice upon living. He said that chil dren had been taught to master the "Three Rs," but In reality there was one more Important than reading, writing and arithmetic right living. He depicted the relation of education to right living, and declared that the two should be Inseparable. Mr. Proc tor was given rapt attention, and his discourse was as nfuch appreciated by the older persons present as the mem bers of the class. Other important features of the pro gram were a solo, "Voices of the Woods," by Helen Ely. accompanied by Carol Ely: address of welcome, by Evangeline Dye; recitations by Maud Davis, Otto Allison: violin solo, Allie Levitt, and song. "Stars of summer Night." by Eighth grade Barclay School girls. Superintendent Tooze compliment ed the class upon its work, and of fered gcod advice. All the children participating did remarkably well, and the exercises were declared to be as fine as are ordinrlJy given by High School graduates.

BOARD HAS DITFICULTY IN FIND ING INSTRUCTOR FOR NEW DEPARTMENT. MRS. CARTLIDCE IS TRANSFERRED Grade Teacher To Ba Member of High School Faculty Mlstet Lilly And Brace Are Reelected. Only one vacancy remains In the faculty of the Oregon City High School for the coming year. The board of directors aIurday night re elected Miss Jennie Lilly and Miss I -on I tie Brace and transferred Mrs Pearl Gregory CartlMge from the grades to the English department of the high school. Mrs. Cartlldge, who is a graduate of DePauw University, of Indiana, succeeds Miss Edna Can field, who was not an applicant this year. Miss Lilly will continue her work In mathematics, and Miss Brace will again be assigned to Latin and German. The sciences will be taught by Miss Esther Johnson, of the High School. It Is that another teacher added t.i the faculty of the High School, to replace Miss Ida Mae Smltn, who has been elected to take charge of the work in domestic science and art. The directors are trying to se cure a teacher with special fitness for the commercial department, which It is proposed to establish. The three NO NATURAL OBSTACLES TO COMBAT John H.

Lewis, State Engineer: Actual construction work is now in progress on I ho first Irrigation pro ject of any magnitude to be under taken In the Wlllamutto Valley, at West Sir.yton, and the day is not far distant when earn stream which en tern this valley will be diverted for Irrigation Durwises That Irrigation Is necessary and will pay has been demon! rated be yond any possibility of doubt. And the fear that the soil will bake and refuse to yield readily under the new treatment Is rapidly disappearing. There Is approximately 8,000.0(10 acres In the Willamette Valley water shed, and 3,000.000 acres In the floor of the valley. Including adjacent low foothills. To say that 1.000,000 acres in this valley will be under Irriga tion in the next twenty years is not probable an extravagant statement. The pro- will be N00' under construction contemplates the Irrigation of 20.000 acres in Mar ion County, and there are five other projects In contemplation which will be undertaken if the first attempt Is successful. Knowing many of the men behind this first enterprise, and being acquainted with the lands, I have no fear as to a successful out come. High School teachers elected Saturday night will each receive $75 per month, VALLEY HAS WATER. anu win nave me auvaiuage oi a nne The Willamette Valley Is better new ouiiaing. witn moaern equipment supplied with water for Irrigation with which to carry on their work, purposes than any other valley In The board of directors will bold Oregon, and there are practically no another meetiug on Monday, June 12, natural obstacles to overcome In the when the four vacancies still existing diversion of this water. Where a tor in the grades will probably be filled, age I not required, land favorably There are a large number of appllea Hons for these positions and the dl rectors will make careful selections, with the idea of getting teachers with practical training and experience. In the new manual training depart ment, which will be established next September In the High School build ing, the directors have struck a snag, for they have no applications for this position. There Is a great demand for good manual training instructors and inquiries will be sent out to the various teachers agencies for appli' cants. Janitors Mars, of the High School Erickson of the Barclay, and Bier mann, of the Eastham building, were re-elected Saturday night and their salaries fixed at $"0 per month. Dur ing the vacation period they will work wherever they may be assigned as there is plenty of labor in renovating and repairs to keep them busy until the opening of the fall term. TEACHERS ACCOMPANYING THE EIGHTH GRADE AND HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES. The directors of the Canemah School have decided to re-elect the present teachers. Miss Elizabeth Kel ly and Miss L. A. Wang. The election will be held next Monday night unless it is decided to wait until after the election of a director to take the place of Frederick A. Shannon, whose term of office has expired. The hold over directors are W. L. Midlam and Charles C. Spencer. The vacancy on the Board of Directors will be filled at an election by the voters of the district. It Is a foregone conclusion that Samuel L. Stevens will be re-elected secretary to the board. Mr. Stevens' work has been so efficient that no ! Dalles on Thursday.

Brenton Vedder was re-elected principal at an increase in salary from $95 a month to $100 a month. Miss Ethel Sharpe was elected teacher of the Eighth grade; Miss Nellie Riebhoff for the Sixth and Seventh grades and Miss Pearl Sievers and Mrs. Eva Hender son for the primary department.

The manager of the Hood River L'nion has isued the following dlrec tions to strawberry growers In that section of Oregon.' Berries must not be- picked while there Is moisture on ihe vines. uerries must be pink all over or three-fourths red. BerrleB should be picked riper cool weather than in warm. Pickers must not he allowed hold several berries In the hand the same time. Filled carriers must not be allowed to sand in the sun. Berries must be picked with stems a quarter of an Inch long, not longer or shorter. situated should be Irrigated at a cost ranging from $15 to $25 per acre, or, It will not be necessary for the farmer to await the construction of a large project to supply water by grav Ity flow, for It Is believed that an abundance of water can be had by sinking a bored well to an under ground water stratum which has been tapped In places ranging from 100 to 150 below the surface. This water is said to be under sufficient pressure to bring It within ten to twenty-five feet of the surface. Drainage In some districts should go hand In hand with Irrigation. The quick removal of excessive spring moisture would prevent waterlogging of the ground and Increase by sev eral weeks the length of the growing season. In other districts the drain age through the porous gravelly sub soil Is so perfect that the lands are considered of but little value under present conditions. These landb, when Irrigated, will become the most valuable. For many years grain growing has been the leading Industry of the val ley, all of which Is In private owner ship. The average farm Is probably 320 acres in extent, the tendency b Ing to Increase, rather than decrease such area, because of the diminished yield due to constant cropping. Di versified farming has been urged of late as a remedy, but this is possibly only on selected lands which are re tentive of moisture, or those which receive moisture through sublrrlga lion. It Is not contended that Irriga tion Is necessary for all crops, for deep-rooted plants, such as orchards, RESULT are not affected by the long, dry sum mer. But for truck garden, alfalfa, clover, small fruits and vegetables. Ir rigation in reasonable quantities Is ab solutely necessary for the highest yield. DAIRYING TO BE LEADER. Dairying Is destined to become the leading Industry because of the mild, open winters. The most serious ob stacle, however. Is the long, dry sum mer, when It Is necessary to carry the herd on dry feed, the same as during the winter months In the East. This condition, however, can easily be remedied by artificial application of water. It has been conclusively proved that three full crops of clover, together with fall pasture, can be pro duced with irrigation, where only one crop, with pasture, Is available under present conditions. Also, four crops of alfalfa, with pasture, can likewise be produced. Less than 7 per cent of the total in the Willamette Val Ilave you ever looked into the details of conntructlon and the . mechanical feature together with the handaore appearance of the Mitchell Automobile! to find the reaaor.a why they are being bought by people throughout the state, who know the value of a good car.

If this water had been applied by grav. Ity canal at a first cost of $25 per acre, the actual profit In this esse would amount to K.1X per cent of the money Invested, Including C per cent on first cost, maintenance at $1 per acre, and distribution of water esti mated it $2.50 per acre. From threo cuttings of Irrigated clover 10.2 tons were secured, as com pared with 4.3 tons from two cuttings of unlrr'gnted clover, or a gain of 5 9 tons. This Is an Increase of 133 per cent due to tho application of 9.9 acre inches of water at a total annual cost of $10 per acre. The clover was weighed when partly cured. At $1 per ton the net profit due to this In crease of yield would amount to $133.55 per acre, or 135 per cent of the annual cost. By gravity canal the not profit due to irrigation could be In creased to $18.55 per aero, or 371 per cent of the annual cost. POTATOE CROP IS DOUBLED. By applying 5.35 acre Inches of wa ter to a potato crop, 140 bushels of pot a toe were secured, as compared with CO bushels per acre from a simi larly situated unlrrlguted field. This gain of 84 bushels per acre, or 1501 per cent, was secured at a total an imal cost for irrigation of $5.50. At 50 cents per bushel, the net profit due to Irrigation amounted to $3G.41, or 056 per cent of the cost of producing such results, Accepting the above figures as correct Index as to what can be ac complished in the Willamette Valley through Irrigation, It is eaxy to fig ure how the farmer could well afford to borrow, even at 10 per cent In terest, all the money to Install an Ir rigation system. The Increuso In land values would more than offset such cost. As such Information accumu lates and with a few successful pro jects constructed. It Is easy to con ceive such a boom in Irrigated lands In the Willamette Valley that Ifa pop ulation will he Increased ten fold In the near future. It seems to me that the commercial organizations of the state could lake up no line of promotion which would yield greuter returns in Increased population than by promoting the Idea of irrigation In this beautiful valley. It has no greater population per square mile thun many dry funning communities of the arid region. Irrl Kittlifti will therefore do as much for us as It will In sin-h communities. With our low elevation, mild win lets, long, dry growing season, con venience of rail and water transpor tation and accessibility to the markets of the world, I predict a most rapid development for this valley through the adoption of this new method of agriculture.

The chance of death from liver, kidney or stomach trouble Is vastly greater, but not if Electric Bitters be used, as Robert Madsen, of West Burlington, la., proved. Four doctors gave him up af ter eight months of suffering Jrom virulent liver trouble and yellow jaun dice. He was then completely cured by Electric Bitters.

That Irrigation pays appears to be demonstraed by the figures published in the Oregon Countryman by W. L. Powers, of this Institution (O. A. C.) These figures are from careful ex periment, the water being furnished by gasoline engine pumping from un derground sources, the lift being about 20 feet.
