the city - on a visit to hie cousins, the
Misses Creighton, and to several friends.
He is at home in Oregon on a vacation,

Jr., university at Palo Alto, California.
Mr. Fisher is a noted foot-ball player,
having held the position of left half
back in the Stanford team during the
past year. Phil Metschan, Jr., who was
a roommate of Mr. Fisher at Stanford
for a while, speaks enthusiastically of
the latter gentleman's prowess and skill
on the "gridiron." Salem Statesman.
Strawberry pickers came here during
the past week in such numbers that the
market for their labor was over-stocked,
and a good many have been unable to
find employment. They came by train
and boat, afoot and by wagons from
Eastern Oregon and Washington. The
Indians are not here in such num
bers as heretofore. A better class of
people bay come this year than ever
before. NAbout 1500 men, women and
children are now engaged in picking and
packing strawberries. Those here now
can probably find employment before
the season is over, but no more are
wanted. Glacier.

broken by being caught under' a car
brake in front of the Umatilla House a'
couple of weeks Bgo, died yesterday at

able that inturning over a splinter of
bone penetrated the marrow, resulting
in instant death. v -

company the excursion, and it is the

made for dancing. The moon will be
full about that time, and the ride down
the river will be a delightful one. You
want to make up your mind now to go.
Hood River strawberry shipments
held up well until Monday, but Sunday
while there we learned that the hot
weather had done considerable damage
to the crop. The .berries ' wete not
cooked," but their ripening was forced
so that a large percentage of very Bmall
and unsalable berries js the result.' We
hope the damage is not so serious as
some of the growers anticipated, but it
is quite certain that the crop will not be
as large as expected, nor the balance of
the berries of standard quality, though
only those up to the standard will be
shippedl The very late berries have not
been mjureu. '

Gradnmtlnff Exercises.
1 The graduating exercises of the High
School class of '97 took place at the
Vogt Saturday night. The big hall was
comfortably filled with friends of the
graduates, and the occasion was a very
pleasant one. .'The program was inter
spersed with music furnished by pupils
of the school, most of them not of the
graduating class, and it was very fine,
due largely to Prof. Laoders' training.
The subjects taken by the graduates
were all well handled, showing consci
entious study of each. 1
. After Dr. Doane, , chairman of the
board of directors, had congratulated
the class and delivered to each the welL
earned diploma, a reception was held on
the stage, where the many friends show
ered congratulations and good wiehes on
tne nappy young people. They were
also the recipients of many beautiful
flowers.
Homer Angel!, in behalf of the Alam
ni, welcomed the class thereto, and
made a very feeling address in doing so.
The motto of the class is, ""Now the
foothills;' later the mountains," and the
class roll, which contained 13 member", is
as follows: Emma E. Bonney, Georgia
L. Bonney, Elva May Creighton, Ethel
B. Deming, Maie Eleanor Elton, Frances

In the matter of the final report of the
- grand jury.
We, the grand jury in the above en
titled conrt for said term, respectfully
submit the following as and for our final
report : . .1
We have been in session five days,
and have returned into court six true
bills and four not true bills, and have
examined several other . matters which
we have not deemed of sufficient im
portance to report.
We have examined the county build
ings, including the county jail and poor
farm, and find them all in good condi
tion and well cared for.
- We have examined the clerk's, sheriff's
treasurer's and other bounty ' offices,
with the books, records and papers
therein, and all are properly and cor
rectly kept, in so far as we are able to
judge. .
We find the county poor all well pro
vided for at the county farm, and we
commend the county court for its man
agement of said comity farm.
We have no special recommendations
to make as to the affairs of the county,
and we believe that they are properly
and economically managed.
Wherefore, having finished oar labors
for this term, we respectfully submit
this, our final report, and ask that we
may be discharged.

A Beautiful Window.
A. M. Williams & Co. have one of the
prettiest and most appropriate window
decorations we have ever seen. . It rep- '
resents a lot in the cemetery with a
monument, inscribed, "Sacred . to the
memory of those who sacrificed their
lives for the preservation of the Union."
Under this are the words "Blue and
Grey," and clasped hands. One side ot
the big window is draped in blue, the
other in grey, and the pictures of Lin-
coin, Grant, Lee and Stonewall Jackson
are shown. Two stacks of arms, with
canteens, etc., are shown, and the bot
tom of the window 'is covered with
fresh, green sod, which, with the flowers
and plants, gives the whole a very
realistic effect. It has attracted much
attention this afternoon. '
The Westfield (Ind.) News prints the
following in regard to an old resident of
