Reservoir Breaks
at Ochoco Mines
HtUrwt AUa( Delete River fUUU aat
Mas Pastes Art WhM Awst
The upper reservoir at the Ocho
co mines broke Saturday afternoon
about 4 o'clock and liberated many
thousands of gallons of water.
As no one lives at the reservoir
it is not known just bow the break
started, but as some of the logs in
the dam were water soaked and
rotten it is thought that the
trouble must have started from a
small leak that gradually grew
until about one-half of the dam
was washed away.
Logs and brush were washed
down on the meadows and fences
were washed away along the course
of the stream for some distance.
The flood reached Prineville
Saturday night and at that time
raised the creek several feet.
There was no damage done at this
end of the flood.

On Thursday evening, May 21,
at the P. A. A. C. hall, the first
clane to ever graduate in this
county from the twelfth grade held
their commencement exercises. Aa
on previous occasions the audience
went away feeling that they had
pent a very pleasant and profit
able evening and that Crook coun
ty should le proud, not only of the
high echool and the work done
there, but also of hr boys and
girle. Many were the words of
pleasure and gratification expressed
and all felt that the outlook for
the young men and the young
women as represented by the class
was exceedingly bright in this

CROOK COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL, PRINEVILLE, OREGON.
The class this year was composed
of two members in ib Latin
course Miss Elsie Osborn and
Mr. Luther Moore; four members
in the Scientific course Miss
Clara Homey, Miss Edna'Estes,
Mr. Reuben" Booten and Mr. Orrin
Mills; and three members who
took special courses Miss Beulah
Crooks, Miss Celia Nelms and Mr.
Arthur Lindborg.
It had been the intention to
have President Campbell of the
University of Oregon deliver the
regular address to the class. When,
however, it was found that his visit
was of necessity postponed one
year, it was decided to have the
clast. render the program with no
help either from the friends of the
school or from the other classes in
the school. Right nobly the class
responded to this idea and showed
what had long been claimed for
it, ..that every member could
appear before a large audience and
hold their attention and please
them.
With the exception of two,
Reuben Booten and Luther Moore,
every member was on the program.
These two were so busy represent
ing the school at The Dalles de
bate and the Oratorical contest at
Baker City that they could not
find time to write new orations for
the occasion.
The following is the program:

Immediately after the com
mencement the class, school and
some few friends went to Belknap's
hall where the annual banquet
was held. Seats were furnished
for sixty by the ladies yof the
Presbyterian church. Here a few
hours were spent in song and
pleasantry. Only one thing arose
to mar the pleasure of the oc
casion Miss Stevens, the toast
master, was taken sick in the after
noon. After a three-course banquet
many articles of which bad been
specially brought in from Port
land by the ladies for this event,
the chairs were pushed back and
toasts were given by the following:
Miss Acker, Mr. Ketchum, Mr.

Booten and Miss Osborn. Music
was rendered between the courses
and after the toasts.
Early in the morning after sing
ing "Auld Lang Syne," the ban
quet broke up feeling that the ties
that bound the members of the
school to one another and to the
Crook County High School were
stronger and dearer than ever
before.
I. 0. 0. F. Memorial Day
The local I. O. O. F. lodge is
making arrangements for extensive
exercises on June 14 which day
will be observed instead of June 9,
as the memorial day of the order.
The date was changed so that
many who live some distance
away might attend. As Sunday
seemed a more appropriate time
that day was chosen.
All Odd Fellows in Crook county
are invited to attend the exercises
as well as friends and relatives of
deceased members.
All Odd Fellows are invited to
meet at the I. O. 0. F building in
Prinejille at 2 p. m., where ap
propriate exercises will be held.
Here a procession will be formed
and the Odd Fellows and the
Union cemeteries will be visited,
where fitting tribute will be paid
to the score or more members of
the order that have been buried
there during the past twenty-five
years.
At 7 p. m. the Odd Fellows will
meet at their hall again and serv
ices at the Methodist church will
be attended by them in dress re
galia. All members are requested
to be present at the meeting on
Saturday, June 13.

This CartiflOT At aa How Scholarship
tor the yw 1908 to 1811, Inclusive,
baa been awarded by the Board of
Trustees of Whitman College to
CLARA HORNEY.
In recognition of her high rank In
the graduating claa of the Crook
County High School.
STxrnx B. L. Pis soe I,
President of Whitman College
Word came this morning to Prof.
M. B. Hockenberry that Miss Clara
Horney had been awarded a four-
years' scholarship to Whitman
College in recognition of her high
rank in the graduating class of the
Crook County High School.
This award was not based upon
scholarship alone as many other
factors were taken into consider
ation. Thia signal honor is only
another manifestation of how our
county high school is viewed by
people not residing in our county.
Whitman College is recognized aa
one of the leading colleges, if not
the leading college, in the north
west. The letter to Prof. Hocken
berry reads as follows:
Whitman College,
President's Office,
Walla Walla, Wahh., May 15.
Mr. M. B. Hockenlerry, Principal
Hih School, Prineville, Or.
Dear Sir: After consideration of
the uaraes of the nichest scholars In
your graduating class, the Com
mittee on Scholarships of the faculty
of Whitman College has decided to
recommend Miss Clara Horney to
the Board of Trustees. Their recom
mendation has been approved and
you are therefore officially author
ized to award the scholarship pub
licly at your gratuating exercises-
lhe award has not been based
upon scholarship alone, but has
taken many other factors Into con
sideration. We hope the honor will
be appreciated and that we shall
have this coming year a strong rep
resentation from your school in the
freshman class of Whitman College.
Very sincerely yours,
A. W. He.ndrick.
$50.00 Reward
A reward of $50 will be paid for in
formation leading to the arrest and con
viction of any person or persons that
willfully or maliciously turn in a false
alarm of fire.

Mayor.

Vote for Cake.
Those of us who are republicans
are republicans because of princi
ple, and those of t$who believe in
the popular election of United
States senators as embodied in
Statement No. 1 believe so from
principle. We registered and voted
for Mr. Cake in the primaries for
the same reason. We propose to
the same thing at the final election
on Monday.
This is a presidential year and a
vote for a democratic nominee at
this time means that we wish to
repudiate the entire administration
of President Roosevelt, and to turn
this state over to the democrats.
Why should we do such a thing?
There is only one reason and that
is simply to gratify the personal
ambition of one man. The princi
ple involved in this election is too
big for any one man to be con
sidered, and every republican, and
all who believe in Statement No. 1
will not only vote for Mr. Cake,
but will use every effort to see that
he is elected.
