EVENING. ' N '
t;rday afternoon and spending the hours
that should have been passed in study
In a happy, free-from-all-care jannt to
l.ke Whatcom. Tlie outbreak against the .
ruling of the faculty was one of the moat
daring ever accomplished. Yesterday
evening a meeting of teachers was held
to discuss the actipns of the students and'
to decide on the punisliment.. ,
During the hours of, morning . studies
yesterday the seniors sat' in the school
building and gazed out Of the Windows -at
the green grass, at the fruit trees burst
ing forth in bloom and at the sunshine.
It was irresistible.
At the noon hour the . students could
talk on only one subject, and that had
no relation to studies. . Some one sug
gested that the entire senior class take
a half holiday, and almost all assented.
Three girls and one boy, a Japanese, re.
fused to enter the plot. Th remainder
of the class, valedictorian and all, walked
from the building and started up town.
On the way to the business part of the
city the girls stopped at a store and
srmed themselves with cheese and crack,
ers and pickles. A car to Lake What
com was boarded with a rush and the
Journey started.
The boys of the class acted the part of
true gallants. At Silver Beach the stu
dents rented a big roller coaster and for
an hour the coming graduates en.ioyed
themselves to their hearts' content. Then
a dash ' was made for boathouses. and
a short time was spent on the waters of
the lake by those students who cared for
this .pastime.
.lust what position Principal Twltmyer
will take on the actions of the students
Is now only a matter of surmise. It is
believed that the escapade, so near the
end of the school year, will have no effect
on the standing of the graduates. The
lea.t the seuiors expect is that they will
be forced to make up their lost day.'

MEDTORli, Or.. April 20. (Special.)
At I o'clock this afternoon Receiver
Kddy. In accordance with the order of
the Circuit Court of Jackson County,
offered at receiver's sale the property
of the Medford Crater I-ake Rail
way. The sale took place at Jackson-,
vllle. and. contrary to the expectations
of those interested, the bidders were
few. Stephen tirver. and Judge Dur
liam. for his client. Mr. Dewing, of
Kalamazoo, Mich., were the only hld
ders. At 2:l& the bids had craw-led up
to 157.500, with no other bidders than
the two mentioned. At 2:45 the bid
ding reached the high-water mark at
162,700. nd the road was knocked
down to Judge Durham for Dewing A
Sons, of Kalamazoo, at that figure.
The extremely low price offered Is
somewhat surprising, in view of the
rainbow talk indulged In prior to the
sale. But the fact that the purchas
ers of the road are abundantly able to
complete It without delay warrants Its
early operation as soon as the sale Is
confirmed. Dewing & feons have large
Interests In the vicinity of Butt Falls
and these Interests demand the opera
tion of the line. For this reason the
transfer of the road to them glveg gen
eral satisfaction.
The sale is not conclusive, as ' an
offer of 10 per cent above the accepted
bid can yet be made within five days,
and the sale will be reopened. Owing
to the low figure it la very doubtful
whether the court will confirm the
sale. -

To hear the latest musical marvel, tht
Welte Self-Playing Piano, produces a deep
impression not only upon those who have
an" ordinary ear for music, but also- upon
those who "are critics of the keenest per
ception. The Welte Piano, er Mignon, as
it Is known in this country, is not a mere
improvement -upon the mechanical pianos
of today nor can it even be called a de
velopment from these. It Is more.
The Welte has succeeded In achieving
what might almost , be considered an im
possibility. It reproduces with absolute
faithfulness the playing of the world's
master mustclans-rpaderewski, Leschet
itiskv, Gabrilowltseh, Leoncavallo, Rich

personality of these greatest artists into
the home of any admirer.
A simple roll of papr is Inserted in the
instrument, and lo! all the fire and deli

pathos, all the expression put into the
original productions, is brought out. on
the Welte. -
The Bilcrs Piano House has had one
of these marvelous Instruments in their
recital rooms for a short time, and all
who have been favored with an oppor
tunity to hear this wonderful piano have
been enraptured with Its playing. So
great has beeh the demand for the Welte
instrument abroad that but very few
of them have so far reached Amfrrics. but

any words the sad -story of tFTe now un
doubted tragic ending of her youthful
rider. That the Umatilla River, or its
treacherous' tributary. Meacham Creek,
has added another victim to its already
long list Is now believed.
Early on the morning of Tuesday, April
9. the boy started to bring some butcher
ing tools to within two miles of Pendle
ton. Up to last night not the slightest
trace of horse- or rider had been seen
since. His course would compel him to
ford Meacham Creek several times and as
the stream was rapidly rising that day as
the result of the recent rains, the horse
was probably overcome in the raging tor
rent, and while floundering in the stream,
the boy was drowned. ....
The animal, a large roan mare, was one
of the famous cattle horses in this part
of the country. Sensible and sure-footed,
she had" often been counted on to-cross
Meacharrt Creek when it would have been
sure death to any other horse; - On one
occasion .she was used to resedte six per
sons from death in a flood and in so do
ing was compelled, to cross the stream '12
times. Horse and rider knew each other
perfectly and it was because of these
facts, that relative's were at first loth
to believe that young Davis had been
drowned.
It was for this reason that the search
ing parties heretofore sent out have been
scouring the mountains, fearing -that the
,bby had met with foul play or some fatal
accident which had rendered him help
less, and that he was slowly starving to
death in some remote place,, or. that his
body had already fallen a prey to fits
hungry coyotes. This mornlngi however,
a searching party left this city with the
intention of making a systematic .search
of the bed of the stream, in hopes of find

PENDLETON. Or.. April 30. (Special.)
A rria"5S meeting of the citizens was held
at vae Court House last night for the

was accomplished further than the ap

confer and-co-operate with the Mayor and
the Coiflicil in framing up the amend
ments and again submitting .them to the
people.
The amendments asked for by the Coun

Council to make a tax levy of 9 mills for
general purposes, instead of 7. as at pres
ent; to authorise the expenditure of not
to exceed tl"00 at any one time to relievo
distress in other places: to raise the per
centage of signers necessary to' defeat a
proposed street improvement from 66 2-3
to SO per cent' ot the frontage along the

-the issuance of bonds to refund warrants

system, to construct a City Hall and Jail
and to provide a gravity water system.
making in alt. a total of 272.000. It Is not
proposed, however, to-issue all these at
once, as it will probably be several years
before the gravity system isdemanded.
After the amendments have been agreed
upon by the Council and the tax-payers'
committee, they will be submitted to a
vote of . the people at an election, which
will probably be held in July.
