Ibe play has never before ben published, the school procuring It direct from the owners and are forced to pay a very high royalty In order to put It on. The plot of the play Is very clever. It concerns a young girl who goes to nn orphan asylum and well! it Is not fair to tell about the happy end ing before the seniors get a chance to tell all about It In the play to be giv en Monday. This play Is much more ambitious than anv ever before attempted In the local lilgh school, it requires! clever "emotional acting and a great ability in the thesplan art.

One great problem lias boon to se cure the neoessurv proportles for the stage setting. This, however, has beeir solved and tho task of prepar ing the stage and gathering the prop erties was started yesterday after noon. The city of Uoseburg and the surrounding cities havo beon abso lutely combed to procure properties to compose the stago setting which Is quite unusual. The nature of the play Is such that a largo amount of furniture of special kinds Is needed and the class has endeavored to se cure all of the prnp-rties needed to properly stage the clever play- As nt the nresent period these have not been so uiiucuil 10 VOTE Of) PARK KAISER'S ACTIONS IN LAST BITTER HOURS OF WAR MADE PUBLIC FIRST TIME TODAY New Book Shows He Wanted to Stay with Army and Fight But Was Overruled Interesting Story of War Lord's Last Moments Before Going Into xile. 1,'Bond Issue Proposed for Pur- pose of Buying Park Site in Laurelwood Addition MANY NAMES SIGNED l.ilxTiil Siixrt Given Petitions Kiln!
