Commeneemeiit exercises of Wasco
Independent academy began on Sunday
evening .with a baccalaureate sermon by
Rev. G.'R. Bnrnside, of Buffalo, N. Y.
from the text ',;Beye perfect, even as'
your father in heaven is perfect" Matt.
.' 5:48. In his impressive way, Mr. Burn-
awfo ut. fiirt h tK'"nn Vartonh T.lfe"
and exhorted each to do his best to imi
tate His spirit and follow his example.
- The. Congregational church choir con
tributed much to the pleasure and profit
of the exercise by their! excellent music.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
wereiven to examinations.
The alumni gave the graduating class
a supper on Monday evening, which was
an occasion or mucii measure to me Dur-
ticipantti.
It seldom ialls to our lot to report so
pleasing an event as that which took
place in the auditorium of the Court
house last evening, the occasion being
the exercises of .the graduating class for
the year 1891-92. By eight o'clock the
large hall was tilled .to overflowing,
-while those who came a little late, were
-unable .to obtain admittance. It was
- with considerable pride we noticed so
many representative citizens of our town,
- while a number of visitors from distant
cities, in the East, were also happily
conspicuous by their presence.
The exercises .'began promptly at S
o'clock, and as Kc-v. Mr. Curtis had not
' yet arrived, prayer was offered by Rev.
George K. Burnside. Then came music
by Mrs. Huntington, Miss Slutz, Mr.
Crandall and Mr. Burlingaiue.
Miss Frances JEttie Rowe followed
with an excellently written essay en
titled "Three Centuries of Education."
After a short interval Mr. Geo. Burlin
gaine sang a solo and was warmly ap
plauded. The essay of . Miss Olive Taylor, on
"The Life . and Times of Homer," is
worthy of great praise and eannot fail
to excite a deeper interest when we are
told that -"seven cities nowelaim Homer
dead, in which the living Homer begged
for bread."
The instrumental solo of Miss Aimce
Newman also deserves a good share of
our applause, while the oration of Mr.
Albert Patrick O'Leary on "The Acquis
ition of Oregon," was the great treat of
the evening.
This, by the way, is a note-worthy in
stance of home education in the higher
branches of study. Mr. O'Leary will
always be more largely indebted to the
opportunities and influences of Wasco
academy than to any other factor in his
education. Besides an excellent stand
ing in his classes as a student, an inter
est in home, history, and public affairs,
has been acquired, and the academy
last night gave him the opportunity to
take a position before the people of his
native city from which he probably will
never recede.
The academy has enabled him to
choose his standard, and hie career as a
man must be marked by the same earn
est effort that gave to him his achieve
ment as a' boy.
We understand the influence of the
, Wasco academy is to be still further ex
tended by his becoming a student of
Brown University, the alma mater of
Prof. Ingalls.
In this way, the early training of the
, child and the boy continues in the
; youth, and throughout his experience as
a man, young U Leary will, we are sure,
claim Wasco academy as the institution
which exerted the greatest and best in
fluence upon his life.
.Mr. Burlingamc gave a second solo on
-xne rngrim readier" ana was again
generously applauded, after which the
Rev. O. D. Taylor, president of the
board of directors, made a very earnest
address. In the course of his remarks,
Mr. Taylor said he had sent down to
Hood River, for some strawberries a few
tiuya ago, uavmg nearu mat tney were
larger and sweeter than our own berries
here at home; well, the berries came
and they were excellent, being both,
large and sweet, but after they were
eaten he went out into his own garden
and found berries that were larger and
sweeter, and so ; by way of illustration,
Mr. Taylor urged upon the citizens to
investigate the onnortunitins which nnr
city is the proud possessor of, and that
when our young people arrive at an age
when they seek for higher education, to
give them the benefit of that which can
be procured at home, equal to the be6t.
' In addressing the graduating class Mr.
Taylor spoke with great earnestness,
and in the kind words that reflected a
father's love, urged upon them to follow
their own better impulses as they
journeyed through life, and to all of
which it might be aptly said :
. "This above all
To thine own self be true
And it must follow, s thn niulif tha ,lo
Thou cans't not not then be false to any
man:'
In presenting the diplomas Prof. In
galla was visibly affected, as he has no
doubt had for his pupils a feeling akin to
that which a father feels for his children.
- We heartily congratulate the professor
upon his work for the past year.
EDUCATIONAL.
Annual Commencement Eirrte at St.
Mary's Academy A Fine Programme.
The annual commencement exercises
of St. Mary's' Academy were held in the
hall of the academy yesterday, com
mencing at 10 o'clock a. m. The hall
was tastefully and appropriately dec
orated as onlv the deft fingers of these
good sieters could do- it. A large at
tendance of friends of the academy and
the pupils was present and heartily en
ioved the interesting programme. 'The
proceedings commenced with the over
ture, "Happy hours," finely rendered
bv four voune ladies. This was followed
by an address by Miss M. O'Leary which
eave evidence of much careful culture
and marked natural talent. The essay
of Miss D. Mosier, "Monuments of
Fame," was finely delivered and mani
feated an extended, acquaintance with
our best literature. Miss M. O'Leary 's
essay on "Self-sacrifice the Harbinger of
Victory," was a splendid composition
and was also well received. The little
folks did their part extremely well and,
especially eo, in their German class song
and their "Fairy Drill." The "Chris
tian symbols" were very interesting and
instructive. The graduating honors
were conferred on Misses D. Mosier and
M. O'Leary by Father Brongeist, ac
companied by a few well chosen words
of council and encouragement. Then fol
lowed the presentation of a gold medal
to Miss Annie White of Kingsley, for the
best plain sewing after which came a
very beautiful and touching valedictory
by Miss D. Mosier. The "Adieu" by a
vocal quartet brought to a fitting close
an entertainment that could only be ap
predated by those who had the pleasure
and privilege ot Demg present.
A Great State.
KINGSLEY LETTER.
Almost every one on the Pacific coast
is familiar with the name of the able
and genial editor of the Salt Lake
Tribune, Judge C. C. Goodwin. He,
speaking of the Columbia River Ccn
tennial, expresses tbissentiment : "Or
egon is a great state, and the Willamette
valley is the most productive, we believe,
for its size in nil the west. Senator
Baker was once asked what the chief at
tractions of Oregon were, and his ans
wer was : 'Oregon is composed of the
Willamette valley and two United
States senators.' That about covered
the case at that time, but while the
Willamette valley and the senators still
remain, the state itself on both sides of
the mountains is advancing to a position
among the very foremost in the nation.
It has other valleys wonderfully rich ; it
has splendid mines ; as a pasture land it
is marvelous ; and altogether it is an j
Imperial state. The state is really what I
all the people up there were celebrating
yesterday more than the river, and they
had a right to. In lumber, in fruit, in
grain, in fish, in mines, in ranges and
the prodnct of the range, Oregon is a
tremendous state. There are -but few
thatxan compare witli-her at all."
Good Crop Prospects A Sick Koopter -,
r : Minor Topics.1
KixosLEY, June 18. Since election is
a thing of the past everyone around
Kingsley has settled down to work, and
to consider the part they had played in
the game. Some of the republicans that
helped to defeat part of the state and
county ticket, are disgusted . with the
crowing of that sickly looking rooster
that appeared in the Wasco Sun. Judg
ing from appearance he was looking for
a hole to hide in and we certainly would
advise him to do eo for on the first part
of November the grand old party rooster
will crow so loud that he can be heard
from Maine to Washington, with a hip
hip hurrah for Harrison.
Frosty nights are over" and the grain
is growing in good shape. I believe the
frost injured the grain more than the
hot weather; for we have had no real
hot weather and there is considerable
moisture in the ground yet, and my
opinion is that we will have plenty of
grain on Tygh Ridge this fall.
The inhabitants of Kingsley were
startled last Wednesday morning by the
statement made by John Roth that some
one had stolen a horse and saddle from
his barn the night before, there he
learned that a party with a band of
horses had camped at Kingsley the night
before, on their way across the moun
tains. So brave John started off alone
to capture the whole band of horse
thieves and recover his stolen horse and
saddle, but to his surprise when he
caught up with them he found neither
horse nor saddle, so he turned back dis
gusted and on arriving home found his
horse and saddle in the barn where he
had overlooked them in the morning.
The farmers' alliance are about to
build a new hall at Kingsley. I do not
known the size of the building, but
judging from the pile- of lumber on the
ground, it is to be a large one.

Benefit WhlcU one Wonld Confer I'pon
Tbe Dalles.
Mr. A. A. Brown, after reading a
timely article in The Chhoniclk last
week on tbe need and importance of a
local building and loan association in
this city, writes as follows' upon the
subject:
The benefits that would accrue to this
place upon the establishment of a strictly
conservative local building and loan
association, managed by responsible
business men of the city, whose manage
ment is open to the inspection of every
one that has au interest to do so, are
many. All legitimate business enter
prises should be encouraged, especially
one such as this which -would directly or
indirectly benefit every citizen of the
place. .
Among the benefits would enumerate:
1. making a safe depository for small or
large investments where they would re
ceive all the interest that would be
earned. 2. Enabling stockholders
...I At 5.-A J. V ...
inueuier lnienumg nome Dunaers or
othewise) to secure the funds necessary
at a lower rate of interest and on easier
terms of payment than they possibly
could in any other way. S. By keeping
command at home of all money invested,
and obviating the great expense of soli.
citing subscriptions to the stock of the
association by traveling agents, as done
by all building and loan associations
other than local. 4. By encouraging the
growth of the city by enabling present
renters, to become home owners; Hop
ing that your agitation of the question
may metenahze into action resulting
in organization. Yours Trulv,

The Souvenir Half.
Washington, June 20. Representa
tive Durborow called on Saturday, at
the treasury department and had a long
talk with Secretary Foster with regard
to the minting of the souvenir half dol
lars for the worlds fair. Secretary Fos
ter said that he would willingly lend any
aid in his power to the proposition to
make use of the mutilated coin now in
the treasury for the purpose of these
special pieces. Altogether there is
about $14,000,000 of this mutilated coin,
but about half of this is in dollars or
quarters and dimes. The $7,000,000
worth of half dollars is what will be
probably used for the purpose. This
money while not actually an asset is
carried as such on tbe books of the
treasury, and to make use of it in the
way indicated will make of it an availa
ble asset, while it is unavailable at
present.
