berry, who for 42 years has been en
gaged in educational work, has put
la some seveu or eight of them In La'
Grande. When he came here the
schools required a teaching force
numbering :. This last year there
were 20 teachers employed.
By the departure- of these people
La Grande loses. The value of her
loss cannot be estimated in any way.
Ko one can measure the Incalculable
Vneficence of eight years of. stead
fast and unremitting effort on the pan
of a good man to uplift and make
sane and beutiful the lives of the
boys and girls in a community. Who
may bound the circle of the Influence
of such a life? Who may say that this
boy or that girl is no better for hav
ing sat under the teaching and ex
ample of a thorough scholar and
earnest Christian?
Since the arrival of Mr. Hockcr.
berry in Ia Grande, about nine years
ego, he lias labored constantly for
the boys and girls of the city. Thut
bis work has been rewarded may
be ascertained by asking the boys and
girls themselves. No where In the
state Is there a school which Individ
ually and collectively stands bo hlKb
morally. We'fsay this advisedly. Xo
school in the state of Oregon has so
' clean young men and young women
as has the La Grande high school.
And among the higher Institutions of
learning, to which our graduates na
turally gravitate, no public school has
i a higher standing. That those good
things are due in lnrge measure to
.', the man who hs been at the head
of our school for ho long is indubl
ably true, and that In losing him and
' bis family, La Grnndo loses greatly.
' The entire city wishes Mr. Hocken
berry f 11. good fortune In the new
work he is about to take up, and wh in
he choose; to visit among us, he will
be welfomed by nil who are so for
tunate ns to have known him.

Professor deliver his last lecture to
the young people of the church and
city with whom he has been so close
ly assoc iated for the past eight years.
. It was considered one of the finest
addresses ever delivered in the city.
Replete with high ideals and. coming
from a man whose life stood out
squarely on these principles, it car
ried much weight In addressing the
young people be declared emphati
cally. "You can have everything you want
In this life If you are willing to pay
the price.
X High Compliment. '
In speaking of our high Bcbool
boys and girls he passed a high com-
fiuucul iuoi. lie ; ajHfke al-
vUedly, that out of the S3 boys in
the high school there . was not one
who smoked cigarettes and only abort
three who smoked at all, and tli:it
there was not a single bad girl.
While thus complimenting our
young people In this way and .the
parents, the facts are that for this
unprecedented condition to Professor
Hockenberry himself is due the honor
i to a much greater degree than to any
other person. It is simply the result
of his eight years of fidelity to the ,p
building of character that has taken
root and pentrated the avenues of

Pay Tonr Debts.
He admonished all to pay their
debts emphasizing the fact that the
man or woman who did not pay their
honest debts were not themselves
honest.
Notwithstanding it Is unusual to
cheer speakers In church on Sunday,
at the conclusion of his masterpiece
of eloquence and logic, and farewell
advice, with one accord the audience
found themselves expressing their
deepest expression of appreciation,
and after the congregation sang "God
Be With Us Till Meet Again,"
one and all personally came forward
and took a farewell handshake and
speak a parting word.
and Mrs. Stevens leave tonight for
Portland, where they will make their
future home and where Professor
Hockenberry will associate himself

established himself there in the archi
tect business. This has been the
plans for. several years.

At a meeting of farmers held late
last week, the proposition was dis-
ctiBied pro and con. snd though no

clearly evident that present route of
