"The whole .state concedes first place to Malheur county, when it comes to a row inn corn," ho stated. "and this section should cany off th first prise at the fair without much trouble. And the students of this county have an equal chance with the students of any other county, to carry off many of the other class prises."

T. LAMPKIN'S CASH STORE ONTARIO OREGON The "carnival committee" for the coming high school carnival has set the date for April 28. We hope every one will make their plana accordingly. We should dislike to have anything conflict with our carnival, and ve feci confident that those who miaa it will regret the fact. The H. S. students are mourning the fact that Evelyn Brown ia going to leave us, and we have good rauae to grieve for her place will be hard to fill. Beaides being the treasurer of the Student Body association aiui secre tary and treasurer of the "Mask and Dagger" club, Evelyn waa always ready to help out on any occasion with either music or a reading. Neverthe less at leaat a few of the girls hope to express some of their sorrow at the "traveling shower" given in her honor at the home of Rena Adam. Miss Ruby Waldron is confined at her home with the mcaalea. Robert Bender has left school for the roat of the year. Italic Scvey haa returned to school after a prolonged absence. Had you passed the high school Wednesday evening you would prob ably have been startled out of a night's sleep by the sight of several grotesque black robed flgurea hover ing through the different rooms of the dimly lighted II. S. building. But you would have readily understood the meaning of the strange procedure had you seen the announcement on the bulletin board Wednesday of tho "Mask and Dagger" meeting schedul ed for 8 o'clock. At this meeting four new members were initiated, there fore the "black robes. Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the evening was spent In the Domestic Science room, where the hostess of the even ing, Alva Arnold, served the delicioua refreshments. Ask the "door keeper if he can articulate the pass word. The girls of the O. H. S. expect to celebrate gloriously about the firat of April.

Various premiums and prises are offered for Brothers and their receipt, agreeing to paaa on the bonds and then turn them over to the First National Bank of Denver to be at the disposal of the Malheur county court, was accepted. March 1 the bonds were put up for sale, heeler Brothers appeared and bid the sum of $80,750.00 aa they agreed. But Hall A Lewia of Port land represented by R. M. Small, ap peared and bid the sum of $31,910.00. This being the largest bid, it waa ac cepted, and the Denver bank waa wired instructions to deliver the bonds to Hall ft Lewis. But the Denver bank wired back saying they knew nothing of the bonds and that they had not been deliverd to them. The wires were kept hot for a while in an at tempt to locate the bonds, and it waa finally discovered that Keeler Broth era had already sold the bonds to a third person. Judge Geo. E. Davis of Vale waa sent to Denver last week to attempt to straighten out the tangle. He ia expected home today, but messages received from him indicate that the firm of Keeler Bros, do not intend to give up possession of the bonds with out a fight. Just what action will be taken in order to recover ia not yet known and will probably not be de cided upon until Judge Davis returns. In the meantime the Portland firm haa placed in escrow in the Vale bank the amount of its bid. They agree to allow this money to remain there until April 1st, and give the county that length of time to deliver the bonds. The Portland firm is very fair in the matter, and hopes that the county will be able to deliver the bonds without aay serious trouble and without much additional expense.
