Splendid Maslcal and Literary Pro

The ceremonies of closing the public
school of this place and the graduating
exercises of those who finished the
eighth grade, or common school course,
were conducted liefore a large ludieuce
of patrons and interested visitors Hat
urday evening. A very entertaining
literary and musical programme had
been arranged and waa very creditably
rendered. It it not convenient in our
limited space to give each particular
feature of the entertainment the notice
they merited, but it it mutt be said
that all who participated acquitted
themselves with persunal credit and
much pleasure to their friends.
Miss Leota Whitney, who delivered
the address of welcome, did so in a brief
but very pleasing manner, Dr. Cliff
made tome pertinent remarks upon our
present school facilities and very point
edly told the people of this place what
their duties are in educational matters
and it Is to be hoped that what the doctor
said will bear fruit in the near future
and cause the people to take Immediate
action toward securing creditable school
facilities. The addresses by Superin
tendent Copeland and Mr, Collins were
scholarly and pertinent. Among the
muHical leatures was a solo by Miss
Mury Conyert which wat charmingly
tung and received a hearty encore, but
the ludy'a (Ins talents were badly handi-
capiwd by the sccountic properties ol the
nan, .'Mist, Winnie way and Messrs. V.
II. Johns and It. A. McCall each ren
dered' pleasing vocal soloi-.
Miss Nellie Payne was the only mem
ber ol the class who was entitled to re
ceive a diploma at this time, she having
tuxen and passed the examination of
teachers held in this city, at whicli time
applicants for diplomas in the eighth
grade are heard and passed upon. The
other member of Miss Payne's class
will be heard at the next regular exami
nation of teachem and those who pass
will be given diplomas. Mr. James
Dart, chairman of the school board,
presented the diploma, and after con
gratulating the recipient, expressed a
hope that the good work would continue.
A well executed drill by the youngest
member of the school followed, ami
the entertainment closed with a very
pretty May pole dance by aix little
ladies who charmed the audience with
the pretty figures which they executed.
Mist Finley and Miss Watkint are en
titled to no little credit (or their success
ful management of the school during
the past term. It is hoped that (or the
reputation of the city and in justice to
the patrons of thi school a creditable
school building and school facilities will
be provided before the opening ol the
next school yenr.
Circuit court will convene next Tues
day morning.

humanity has an opportunity to offer
apparent sympathy to a doctor, but
there was a case of that kind in our
midst this week. Dr. Cliff waa knocked
out in the first round by C. 11. Johns'

is very necessary for the St. Helens

NOW FOR ANOTHER THING
PORTLAND CAPITAL, TO BUILD
TILLAMOOK BO A I).
Desired to be Strictly a Local Eater
prise for Portland.
In a report which the officers of the
Portland, Nehalem & Tillamook Bail
way have just made to the directors of
the' company, a comprehensive plan of
work is outlined. It proposes tlie build
ing of forty-three miles of road to be in
operation in November or iecember,
and the issuing of $(150,000 of 6 per cent
first mortgage bonds to meet the cost.
Recent investigation haa demonstrated
that, it is possible to get a grade of
per cent at the summit, instead of the
I per cent grade reported last fall. It
has been found that the timber belt
tributary to the first lorty-three miles of
road it capable of furuiehing a revenue
of $o00,000 annually lor at least ten con
secutive years, against an interest
charge of $32,600 on the basis of 6 per
cent on 1050,000.
The line it to be absolutely independ
ent of all transcontinental connections,
and its eastern terminus it to be at Port
land. Two different routes for the road
have been examined, one of which
would reach the Willamette river at
Oswego, and another that reaches Port
land via Cornelius Gap. It is the pur
pose of the promoters of the road to
build to both Tillamook and Nehalem
bays, the extreme length of the road to
be eighty miles, bnt only forty-three
utiles of 'it will probably be completed
this year. After crossing the coast
range summit the road follows down
the 8Almonberry river and reaches
the Lower Neha'lem river at a point
eighteen miles above its mouth, where a
branch line will be extended to Grand
Rapids, the main line extending on
down the river to Nehalem bay. It is
expected that the road will be com
menced at once and rushed with all pos
sible haste to completion.
