Coolidge Watchmaker & Jeweler Moved to Toggery ator in 1906, is now being mentioned as a possible candidate. Owing to the fact that the assembly idea origi nated in Portland and because of a disposition on the part of some outside county leaders to believe that it is operated in the interests of Portland candidates, there is some sentiment in favor of an out-of-town man being in dorsed by the State assembly when it meets July 21. Officers of the state central commit tee, however, are taking great care to keep entirely out of such matters. "The only object we have is making the assembly a success," said an offi cer yesterday.

"Graduation Night" for the 22 mem bers of the class of 1910 in the Mood River High School was celebrated Tuesday availing in the Odd Fellows hall, the class address being given by Dr. Fletcher Homan, .president of Willamette University, at Salem. A large crowd rilled the ball to wit ness the exercises and the class of 11 boys and 11 girls were seated on the platform in a perfect labyrinth of greens and flowers. The buck wall was a mass of green and In the center the class numerals were marked out in California poppies. Roses, beautiful Hood River roses, were in profusion everywhere. Thousands of them were used in the decorations and each young lady of the class carried a large bouquet, while every member of the class was the recipient of many flowers of all sorts. The exercises were opened by a violin solo rendered by Will Chandler and following the address the audience was pleased with a vocal solo by Mrs. P. S. Davidson. f The address by Dr. Homan was riefer than Buch speeches usually are, but it was pointed and contained much from which the young graduates and other hearers could benefit. He took up the requisites for success in life and placed as lirst and most important a thorough preparation for the activities of the world. He emphasized the value of a college education by which the brain power of the young man or the young woman is developed. The ability to do is worth little less in life because they have been developed to their highest efficiency and under stand the use of their reserve power. Dr. Homan acknowledged that a few men had attained to high places with out a college or even a high school education, but they were exceptions and they were seldom properly balanced to accomplish things in life and at the same time get the highest joy from living. It is the man who can use his power who succeeds. Dr. Homan expressed the necessity of independence on the part of a man in the world and warned the graduates against being so given over to friendli ness that they failed to develope in dependence and self-reliance and became mere followers of the crowd. Common sense and an ability to look after one's own interests were other essentials to success in the eyes of Dr. Homan. He told of the need of a strong moral character in a time when integrity was appreciated as never before. He illustrated that the success of Col. Roosevelt in winning the hearts of the people of many nations was largely do to Roosevelt, the moral man, the man who stood for the "square deal" In closing his remarks he told the graduates that "pull" meant little and that each man carried his own pull with him. The man who is worthy and willing to work diligently needs not and can not use a better pull. There is no lack of opportunity today for the right sort of young men. The final part of the exercises was the presentation of diplomas to the class by Carl H. Vaughn, president of the school board. The members of the class were : Regular graduates- Lottie Olivia Kinnaird, Kitty Irene Bragg, Ray mond Edward Nicholson, Etta lone Blagg, Grace Ellen Stewart, Steve Miles Ehy, Helen Orr, Eva Lenore Brock, Roger Waldo Moe, Hester Elizabeth Harbison, Herbert Phillips, John Harris Copper, Merrill Cornell Gessling, Harry Arnold Clapp, Walter Albert Kresse, Sherman Eli Buck, William Avery Cass, Carrie Sparks, George Chester Huggins and Lelia Lincoln Radford. Special Graduates -Susie Mildred Vaughan and Marie Virignia Johnson. LARGE CROWD SEES SENIOR CLASS PLAY A crowd which packed the Pine Grove grange hall witnessed the class play of the Hood Kiver high school Seniors Friday night. "Christopher, Jr.," as portrayed by Herbert Phillips, proved to an extremely entertaining young man, who, instead of living up to the ambition of his self-made father and furnishing the gentility which the old man lacked, proved to be a man of good business ability himself. Young Christopher and the heroine had hard time persuading themselves that they could marry conscientiously only to find at the end of the play that they had been married several years before against their will and without seeing one another. The supporting cast did very good work in putting on a clever farce comedy and the audience was much pleased. Phillips is a young actor of much tal ent and his friends predict that he will achieve much and become a matinee idol if he chooses to follow the drama. Hester Harbison, as Mrs. Jedbury, Eva Brock, as Nelly, Lelia Radford, as Dora, and Helen Orr, as Mrs. Glibb, acquitted themselves well in carrying the female parts. Cheater Huggins made a hit as the silent partner of the last named. One of the very pleasing features of the evening's entertainment was the music furnished by Newman's orchestra. TROEH A MYSTERY TO HOOD RIVER Columbia River League standing: Club Won Lost Pet. White Salmon 5 2 .714 The Dalles 5 2 .714 Hood River 3 4 .428 Goldendale 1 6 .143 Hood River met defeat on the local diamond Sunday by a score of 3 to 0 in game where Troeh, the White Salmon twirler, seemed to have the horseshoe tucked away so that the locals did not connect for a hit during the entire game. It was no hit no run for Hood River and the tables were reversed from the situation as it had been at White Salmon the week before. The pitcher from across the river refused to issue any passes to first and he man aged to strike out 10 of the locals in the course of the game. Luke, who twirled for Hood River was a little off and let the second man to bat have a base on bals. With Uiis start Reynolds circled the bases and made the initial score. Lake hail seven strikeouts to his credit but again in the eighth inn ing the first man up walked and con tinued the circuit followed by Hall, the Illinois University star, who holds down the initial sack for the White Salmonites. The visitors landed on Lake for six hits and Hamilton, from left held, had a couple of two sackers to his credit. The line-up: White Salmon-Sutherland, catcher; Reynolds, short ; Wood, 3rd ; Hamilton, left; Hall, 1st; Jaeobson, 2nd; Humph rey, center; Van Vorst, right ; Troeh, pitcher. Hood River-Brown, short; Morse, 2nd; Shea, catcher; Gessling, 3rd; Bragg, 1st; Gray, center; Kent, right; Myers, left; Lake, pitcher. Score by innings : 123466789 R.

Next Sunday The DalleB comes here for a series of two games on that day and the next which will be Decoration Day. The Hood River team is putting up a good game of ball now and should take the series with The Dalles which would tie us with them for second place. Punch lsenberg, Astronomer. Monday evening was an excellent time to get a view of Halley's comet and Punch Isenberg, the local astrono mer, was on the street with a tele scope giving everybody a free oppor untiy to look at the sky wanderer. The moon was in eclipse Monday evening, but through some trouble in the me chanism of lsenberg's machine, the lunar phenomenon was not visible. However, many persons were able to see a large star very plainly through the telescope after Punch had care fully trained it on an are light. The star gazer wore a tall pointed black hat on which were painted the var ious sky-pieces after the many of the astrologers of old and as a stranger came down the street and heard the following ;he could not resist the temp tation to take a look: "Now here is the chance of a life-time to see Hal ley's comet which appears but once in 75 years, through the most powerful letiH in the United States, which I have just made for this occasion and bad shipped to me from St. Peters burg, Russia, by order of the city council, which in compliance with an old ordinance is compelled to give the citizens a free look at every comet which is visible in Hood River. Come right on now and take a look before this wonderful and delicate instrument ib returned to Portland." Many persons will everlastingly be indebted to Punch for a look at the comet and it is to be hoped that he will bring forth the telescoiie often, as it will be possible to see the comet any night through his excellent lens. WANT $40,000 FROM CITY FOR WATER PLANT Hood River Light & Power curnpany is anixous to sell its water plant to the city of Hood River for $40,000 and to that end an option was given the city Tuesday for the plant at that price The option reads for 90 days anil the company agrees to take the price in either cash of bonds bearing five or six per cent. Ihe tender to the city which was placed in the hands of City Recorder Langille, as the council failed to get a quorum Monday eve ning, contained the report made on the water plant three years ago by Engineer Roberts and various other figure! with regard to the valuation of the plant. The water company officials say that they cannot offer the plant at a lower price because it is bonded for that amount. They are anxious to sell to the city and claim that the city could make money by avoiding their competition when the new municipal water plant is installed. Manager Hall admits that the present water system will not furnish a proper permanent supplv for the city, hut he says that the plant is worth over $40,000 either on a physical or present business valuation. The matter will come up at the council meeting next Monday night and Mayor D. McDonald was asked yesterday what the probable action would be on the option. The mayor said, "In my opinion the council will probably not call for an election to buy the plant at that price, which is entire ly too high. The option which has been given the city is no more than an offer to give quit claim deed to the water plant property, and the cit S cannot enter into negotiations wi the company until provisions have been made to take care of the bonded indebtedness on the plant. The plant haa not increased in value because it has changed hands recently. I am of the same opinion now that I have been for several months, namely, that the city would probably be willing to buy the plant when the price was ngnt and the title clear." Tale of International Courtship. The following is reprinted from Sun day's Portland Journal, which also con tained a picture of Mrs. Margaret Wal lace Koencmann : The picture of Mrs. Harold Koene- mann (Margaret Wallace) snows tne young bride as she looked at the time of her marriage a few weeks ago in Londoon. When she left here with her aunt, Mrs. Harden, to tour hurope, she was little more than a schoolgirl and after her long absence and exten sive travels she will appear greatly changed to her schoolmates here. The courtship of the ftoenemanns was rather a romantic affair. On the steamer going over Miss Wallace met an uncle of her present husband, an interesting and highly educated old man. Later in Germany she and her aunt were invited to visit at his beaut iful country home in Germany, and thither came his two nephews at the same time. It was a case of love at first sight and when they visited later at the home of the young man's moth er, the engagement was realized. 10 facilitate matters, for marriage with a foreigner necessitates much red tape and inconvenience in Germany, they decided to have the ceremonial in Lon don, but on there arrival there, found GOOD ROADS MEET THIS AFTERNOON AT THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH Government Expert Eldridge And Judge Webster Will Speak On Important Subject. Today is Good Roads Day in Hood River and everybody should turn out to the meeting this afternoon at the Congregational church which will be addressed by Maurice Eldridge, fore most highway authority in the United States, sent here expressly by tie government and Judge Lionel R. Webtser head of the good roads move ment in Oregon. The meeting will be at 2 o'clock and Mr. Eldridge will show a large number of picturea in connection with his talk illustrating good highways. If the church cannot accomodate the crowd an overflow meeting will be held in the yard. The two experts will arrive here this morn ing from The Dalles where a meeting was held yesterday. The morning will be spent conferring with local men on the conditions here with regard to roads and it is probable the visitors will be taken on a trip about the valley bo that they may yet an idea of the country through which our roads are to be built. In speaking of the series of Good Roads meetings in the state and the Hood River meeting today, Judge Webster said: "We have been given great send offs this week. Mr. Eldridge is an expert, being an authority on the aub ject. He ,is the the assistant chief in his department and is the greatest scientific road builder in the United States and one of the best in the world. He also has wonderful pictures, showing the progress which has been made in road building almost since the beginning of all things. The people of Hood River county, the farmers and ranchers in particular, should take ad vantage of the opportunity and hear him lecture. "All the road supervisors should plan to meet the expert and talk road construction with him learning how to build thoroughfares, not only maca dam roads, but those of gravel and dirt as well. "We plan upon organizing a branch association of the Oregon Good Roads association in every county, so that when the organization is perfected it will be a general state society. Branch associations have been formed in Harney, Grant, Wallowa, Union, Morrow and Gilliam counties, while another has been started in Malheur. "I will ask the people who attend the meetings here to sign their names to a membership roll and then through the Commercial Club the county court ami the road supervisors, the work of securing more names may be continued. The names will be sent in to me and after the county has been thoroughly canvassed, I will issue a call for the organisation of the Hood River County Good Roads associa tion. After once fully organised, the siate association would hold a conven tion and take up matters of needed State legislation in the interests of good roads. One of the matters to be considered at that time would be that of using convict labor on the roads. This pro position has always been a hobby of mine. There are 300 men In the Ore gon penitentiary who could be used. My plan is to establish, say, six ramps in dillerent parts or the state on the railroads and put in rock crushers at these points. Then send ail the con victs to the camps and put them to work crushing rock which would be delivered to the different counties which wanted to use it. My Idea is to have it delivered on condition that the counties use it in building scientifi cally constructed roads under the direc tion of the state good roads association. 1 expect that the best thing to do would be to deliver it to the counties at the actual cost of construction. The railroads would transport the rock for just what it cost them to do it. I lie six camps should be equitably distributed in various parts of the state. "Another proposed piece of legisla tion which would be taken up by the general state association at its con vention is the proposition or allowing county and city prisoners to be sent to other cities and counties to work on roads and streets, lhc proposed law would give Hood River county, if it did not have enough prisoners to do completed work, the privileges of getting prisoners from Wasco county or some other to help out. Or if Hood River needed men to work here on the streets it might send to The Dalles and ask that the city prisoners there be sent down to Howl River. If The Dalles did not need the men to work there on the streets, it would gladly give up the prisoners for The Dalles would not he compelled to pay lor the keeping of them in that case and would gladly let the prisoners go. The result, would be that every man serving a sentence for the vio- ation of a law, instead- of being coop ed up in a city or county jail or the penitentiary would be out in the sun shine, doing a great work for the betterment of Oregon. The best methods of broad con struction, legislation and hundreds of other things would be considered by the association if the counties organis ed and united in one general 'state society. It is surprising how much good could be done by such an oganiza- tlon. that a residence of 15 days within a certain radius of the church where they were to be married was a stipulation of the law. The marriage had to be postKned then while the- party was domiciled at a hotel nearby. The Koenemanns are now on their way west and will visit friends in Portland about the middle of June. The sum- r will be spent in Howl River with Mrs. Koenemann's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Wallace, and in the fall they will return to Germany to live' The bride is a handsome blonde, a member of a prominent family, a niece of Mrs. 0. A. Lyman and Mrs. C. C. Smith of this city and formerly at tended Portland academy. Mr. Koene mann belongs to a good old German family, is widely traveled and educated and speaks several languages fluently. Mrs. Sadie Dunbar, of Portland, has been visiting her mother, Mrs. R. P, Orr, during the past week.
