numerou friend. ;
The apple crop In California is decid
edly short thi year, and that variety of
fruit i telling In Ban Francisco at i.60
a box by carload lota. That tate ha
supplied a large portion of the Eastern
demand for apples, and since the crop
I so short there Oregon will be expected
to supply a large per centage of the de
ficiency, and prices will undoubtedly
range high this summer and fall.
Mas; Berg's little eight-year-old ton, of
Warren, met with a very unfortunate
accident last Monday. He wsa endeav
oring to untie a knotted eboe lace with
a table fork, when that implement
slipped out ot the knott. two tines of
the fork entering the ball of the right
aye. It was feared the sight of the eye
would be lost, but upon examination of
the member by Dr. Cliff it was learned
that the injury was not a serious aa wa
first thought.
The ancients believed that rheumatism
was the work of a demon within a man.
,Any one who has bad an attack of sciatio
or tnflamrnatory rheumatism will agree
that the infliction is demoniac enough
to warrant the belief. It has never been
claimed that Chamberlain' Pain Balm
would cast out demons, but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testi
mony to the truth of till statement.
One application relieve the pain, and
tbis Quick renei wnicn h anoras is auras
wortn many time its cost.

Mist L. May Beid left for her home at
University Park Monday evening. She
has proven a most successful teacher,
and her amiable, .cheerful manner and
sunny disposition have made her hosts
oi mends who regret to see ner leave.
A teacher who exhibits such a combina
tion of conscientiousness and cheerful
ness cannot fail to have a good Influence
upon jroung and old in any community,
The closins1 exercises connected with
the nubile schools last week constituted
an important event in the history of our
town. Four young ladies that success
fully passed the ordeal of a succession of
rawer rigid examinations oonsututea
the graduating class, and the teacher
resolved to make the graduating exer
cises DOt VIHJ GUtfVrUMUlUg UUI IUBIUUI-
able. The church, Where tne exercise
of Friday evening were held, was fas
tened aud decorated with signal taste
after a considerable amount of labor, and
Presented a charming attraction in itself,
t had never held within its walla mora
extensive or tasteful decoration. On the
rostrum the lour young ladies dressed
in white with their graduating essays in
their bands formed a picture of which
the decorations constituted the frame
work, and the color that slight embar
rassment gave to their cheeks a they
looked over the audience that filled all
parts of ths building was just what was
needed to make the picture complete.
Miss Louise Barr bad been engaged for
instrumental music and bad brought
th her from Portland Mis Ella Ho-
berg as a vocalist. Both of these ladies
acauitted themselves with distinction
and charmed the audience by their
plendid music during the evening. Miss
Barr plaved selection on both piano
(kindly loaned by Mr. and Mr. English)
and violin, while in addition to Mis
Hoberg'i singing sne piayea piano bo-
oompaniment to Misa Barr'a violin.
Each graduate at the proper time rose
and read her essay in a clear voice to an
interested audienee, each essay giving
evidence of careful preparation and such
thought aa reflected credit on its uur
author. Following these essays and
some of the musical selection of the
evening, Prof. Whitten introduced Chan
cellor 0. R. Thoburn, of Portland Uni
versity a the speaker of the evening,
nd Clatskanie has very rarely if ever
listened to an address so full of well
worded and earnest counsel to young
men and women to improve their oppor
tunities and make the best of their en
vironment. It wa an address full of in
spiration, and one who could listen to it
and not feel impelled to better improve
the opportunities of life must be hope
leu, indeed. All felt that we bad been
exceedingly fortunate In securing such
speaker, f ollowing tne aaaress, rroi.
Whitten spoka a few words in praise of
the work of the young lady graduates,
regretting that he would lose them aa
scholars and wishing them success in
life. Dr. Hall, a chairman of the board
of education, then presented diplomas
to Misses Annie .ngilsn,MBry xicuenor,
Carrie Tiohenor and Laura M. Conyers,
and following thi presentation came a
distribution of bouquet and token of
kindness from friends, after which the
exercise closed and the young ladies
received congratulations and good wishes
of their friends before they left the
building. . . . ..
On Saturday evening at Conyers' hall
occurred theolosingentertainmentgiven
by the teachers and scholars of the pub
lie schools. Many of the scholars took
part in it, and their work brought out
the parents and friends, notwithstanding
the very disagreeable weather outside.
Misses Barr and Hoberg remained over
and assisted in the music, adding much
to the interest and enjoyment of the
evening. The work of the scholars dif
fered from the old-time recitation and
songs, and waa largely drills, varied with
an occasional song or recitation by one
of the juniors. An old-time spelling
song brought down the bouse. A pa
triot' drill and song by a party of a
dosen young girls was much admired,
and a brownie song by some of the
smaller scholars In brownie costume wa
the hit of the evening, producing an im
mense amount of tun. The little per
formers themselves entered thoroughly
into the spirit of the performance, and
did splendidly, both in their singing and
marching. They were pupil of Mis
Reid, who deserve great credit in get
ting them in costume and in tbe excel
lence of their work. A unique exercise
tyled ''vestal virgin drill" waa calcu
lated to carry ua back to old Greek cus
toms, and the ten maidens in their gor
geously decorated white garments and
