S f ""Si" t The high school play, "Valley Farm," which was given last Friday and Saturday nights Is generally con ceded to be one of the most success ful productions ever put on by the High School. Most of the cast made their debut Into the dramatic world Friday ovening, it being their first appearance on the stage. While the scenes were being shift ed a chorus of coal black "culled" people entertained the audience. In private life they are known as Goldie Grewell, Beth McKay, Ruth Bullock, James Watts, Leslie Slth and Bert Heimuller. Cora Ash also played a number of violin solos. Composing the cast were: Joseph Koutek, Irving Erlckson, Aura Bennett, Bert Heim uller, Kingsley Allen, Owen Hartley, Inez McKay, Elsie Lange, Laura I'hlman, Ollvo Ash. Nina Koscoe and Ksther Newton. Mr. Coffyn directed the play. The High School netted about $100 which wil be used for the electric light fund. The Botany class made its first trip CURRENCY SGOOD AS GOLD MONE Y diaries ;rnhmri Tells HovT Secretary of the Treasury Pacified Holders of ftairenry when they Clamored for Gold. Monday morning, the writer of this article went to the First Nation al Bank at St. Helens and while transacting some business with Cash ier Childs heard a customer ask Prf s ident Graham "what has become of all the gold money" and Mr. Graham said that tho Federal Reserve Bank had called in tho gold to make the currency good, or words to that ef fect and that he considered currency Just as good as gold as long as the currency was issued by the U. S. government. And thereupon he told a story of early days. Mr. Graham told his customer that back In 1874 he lived In Quincy, Mass., and at that time he had about $1,000 In curren cy, which was worth 76c on the dol lar, or that a discount of 25 per cent was made on currency. When he started west in 1875, he left the cur rency at homo because he felt that it was worth all that the government said it was worth, and that was dol lar for dollar.' About that time a clamor arose to resume Bpecie pay ment and the Secretary of the Treas ury, looking into the big vaults of the treasury department, said it was time to resume such payment and. In Graham's language said "boys if you want gold for y ur greenbacks, you can get it," and strange to relate, "the boys" held oa to the green backs. Follows Greely's Advlc. In the early part of 1875 Gra ham following the advice of Greely, came west. It took just fourteen days to come from Quincy, Mass,., to Napa, California, Mr. Graham said. The train was held up for a day ai Laramie because there had been an Indian outbreak and the railroad of ficials would not allow the train to 'ii miles pur hour.

In tho Blackhills, cne train stop ped for a short time and at least half of tho male population left, Mr. Gra ham said, for it was the time that the hills had gold galore for he min ers and prospectors. But Graham stayed on the train and arrived at Napa, Caliornia and went to work in , a brickyard, for he was an expert brickmaker. So good a mechanic was he that he was paid $150 pet month and "found," which In days gone by meant, board and lodging. Somewhere in that locality the state of California was building an asylum for the insane and many thousand of brick were needed, so young Graham stayed with the Job. When the asy lum was completed ne Jumped the Job and went to San Raphael. It was ahout this time that Sherman said tnat there was plenty of gold to take up he currency and without drawing on the amount he had left at home, Graham had some $585 in gold in his pocket and then it was that ho wished for currency. The boss of the brickyard at San Raphael didn't want to give him a Job for he said "you easterners will stay here only a few days and then get the gold fever and leave me," but Graham said he would stay with the Job and he stayed for two years, though the force consisted of 118 Chinamen and eight white men, the other white men having Buccumbed to the gold fever. The bricks made at the San Rapnael plant were used for the building of the old Palace Hotel In San Francisco. In 1880 Graham came to Columbia county. Dart Muckle were operat ing the sawmill, but Graham didn't want, a sawmill job, so he started to work getting out paving blocks. He d'd that job as well as he had done the brlckmaklng job and before many years he was a partner in the general merchandise store of Perry and Gra ham. The firm sold that business a few years apo and now Graham ls president of the First National Bank, a rapidly growing institution, but he hasn't forgotten the pioneer days nor has he forgotten the timo when Uncle Sam said bring In your currency for gold and he didn't do it. C. C. Cassatt who has been con nected with the St. Helens Lumboi Company for the past ten years has resigned and will enter business for himself. He might move to Portland and engage In the lumber broker business. WASHINGTON, Mar. 9.
