MUCKLE Department Store & SON St. Helens, Oregon (Editors Note) The following "Class Prophecy" from the pen of Miss Vera Barger of the Yankton School has been in for publication for some time but lack of space has prevented an earlier publication. Coming from the pen of a school girl, the essay contains merit of which an older person might well be proud, and reflects much credit on the Yank ton School. CLASS PROPHECY Written for the Yankton graduating Class by Miss era Barger. One morning in Jane 1911, several weeks after school h id closed, aa I was looking over the morn in 2 mail I was surprised to see a letter postmarkel "Wyoming." I of ourse opened it at once 10 aiscover mat it was irom a mend ot my mother's asking me to come and spend tbe summer with them on their delightful Wyoming ranch. I soon decided to go. I will not weary yon with details of my journey. Nor with how the summer lengthened into summers. Tbs life on the cattle ranch was delightful so much to in fact that I at !st rented the ranch joining that of my friends and went in to the cattle buisness, Needless to my I made money fast and be'o-e I realiz ed tbe fact fifteen years had slipped a way leaving me what people call an "old maid." It didn't seem possible that it had been so long since I had seen all of 1117 01a scnooi-maiet ana I at last con cluded to take a trip back and see how they all were. Hastily disposing of my Interests here I started fur Oregon. 1 took- the air ship "Casper" wnich made mncb better time than the train and I enjoyed the trip very much Imagine my aurprise on discovering that the man in charge of the airship was no other than tbe world wide, fam ous aviator Chester Brian. He wat even more talkative and jolly than when a boy and I listened with interest to many of tbe exciting stories he had to tell. a t. a . . Aiier tanaing in rortiana as I was strolling slowly down tbe street feeling rather lonesome a large potter in bright colors caught my eye and pausing a moment I read the following :-"Tonimy Hoist ine the great Evangelist will apeak tonight at Kings Hall. With him is the well known singer Jeea Btusrd." I'd Certainly not miss bearing Tommy tpek M that evening found me seated ia the large ball with the hundreds of people. The sermon was the best I'd ever beard and my mind weut back fifteen years to the sturdy youngitterj in the high top shoes and overalls paddleing through the mud to rcivjol. As I listened to Jrsse't deep voice I wondered why it was mat the teachers could never per suade bim to ling in school. Leaving Portland I took the tlectric car for Houlton. The car was very crowded an 1 I couldn' escape taking a seat by a gentleman much as I bated to for in spite of my thirty one years I was still bashful). As I looked at bim out of the corner of my eye I di 'covered that he had yellow hair, blue eyes and was not all together had looking. After tbe car had whizzed along for a ways we got to talking. He said his name was Hiijtli Cox and that he was mayor of Yankton. I told him my name and we bad au enjoyable time laughing and talking of old times. He said our old frvnd Edward Saulcer was in Germany studying mii'ic with some of the Ger man musicians. Arriving in Houlton I hired a car from the garage and we were soon twiftly gliding along tbe shady country roads towards Yankton. As we entered the city limits we overtook an odd looking procesionof the feminine sex dressed in rather masculine attire as was the fashion of the day. The proc -scion was headed by a tall light compleiioned wo man carrying a banner bearing tbe in- tcnption "vou for women" and I rea- iizeu. tnat Uiegon women l ad not yet given up the fight. The tall woman the driver told me wat a diligent worker for the canse and her name wat Iva Tarbell A little further on I passed a large while building whlth the driver inform en me was the orphanage conducted by a kind hearted lady named Miss Hvde. She gathered np not only orphan 1 but also the poor little waifs whose mothers were tuch tireless political workers that they had no time to attend to home du ties. I ttopped at a neat looking little farm House to get a drink and when a trim little lady in a crisp white apron rams to the door I recognind mv old friend lather Butte I concluded to stav with ner ior a lew days and en ov (ha com foitt of tbe neat little farm bouse. une afternoon we took a ttroll ovet to seethe largest chicken ranch in Col ombia Co. which was owned by Misses walker and Rathbun. We spent a plea.ant day with the girls returning home in the evening. When I inqaTsd at to Mlts Bowman's whereabouts I learned that she had long ago purchased a small piece of land on Hill Crest where she lived happy and contented with ber cats and canary birds. One evening I was standing on the corner of main street in front of the millinery store owned by Edna Bonney when a noise ahich sounded much like tbe rattle of milk cant attracted my at tention and upon looking around who should I tee but our former teacher C. E. Lake seated in a milk wagon for he now owned a large dairy ranch in the suburbs of Yankton. A large straw hat. long black whiskers and overalls some what changed his appearance from that of tbe C. . Lake of 1911. He wore a happier look than in former years and I supposed it was because he was no lon ger a bachelor. The time is fast approaching when the matter of a new school building will have to be settled, This week's issue contains an other item from Connty School Superintendent J. II. Collins, and it should be carefully read by every resident of this dist rict. Mr. Collins has no ax to grind'inTthis'matter, andis" inter ested'onlyrin'the'welfare of the I schools and the school children of this county, and such being the case his opinion'should'carry more weij ht than anyone else. The election is only for the pur pose of voting the bonds, in the sum of $20,000. After bonds are voteed then the'matter of choos ing the site will be taken up. Whether or not you are in favor I of any site yet proposec, vote yes on the bond question, for then we will be assured of a school, and you can then have your say in the matter of choosing the site. But after all the site is a sec ondary matter. The main thing is to make provision that will assure the erection of a school building. Next Sunday the Rainier base ball team will be here to play ball and the biggest crowd yet this season will turn out to see them. The last time Rainier and St. Helens were due to meet there was some trouble, for which it is probable that both teams were in a measure to blame. The local management always aims to give a ball team a fair deal, and, now that a game has at last been arranged between these old rivals, it will undoubtedly go oft smoothly. The misunderstandings that have come up in the past have affected every phase of social and business connection be tween the towns, and the play ing the right kind of a game on the local diamond next Sunday will do more to restore the right feeling than any other one thing, Out of Order NO USE TALKING When you want the best in Job Printing the proper place to go is THE MIST PRINT SHOP ST.
