Mrs. Wickersham, with the as
sistance of the girls in the training
department, has greatly improved
the appearance of her room by
adorning the walls with pictures
of our noted statesmen and some
well known production of Hof
miD, Vandyke and Rosa Bonheur.
The campus has been plowed and
is being leveled, preparatory to
fencing. This will add greatly to
the appearance of the school.
Letters have been received from
both Moro and Fossil but nothing
definite has as yet been decided
but all are agreed that the prelim
inary debate should not be hell
until after the holidays.
We are in receipt of the O. A. C.
and the U. of 0. annuals. They
are both a credit to their respec
tive schools and give prospective
students some valuable infor
mation. The university of Ore
gon one comes out under the title
of the "Organa" instead of "Web
foot" as formerly.
The magazines for the high
school have been ordered and the
list is as follows: "Review of
Reviews," "Current Literature,"
"The American," "McClure's."
"Everybody's," "The Cosmopoli
tan", and the "Farm and Home."
We are soon to have some new
song books for assembly. This
will be ranch enjoyed and appreci
ated by the students.

It has been nearly two weeks

voted to rent the hall to the Ath
letic Association of the high school
for fifteen dollars per month. The
students to have the hall from
three to five each school evening.
The student body, on Thursday,
accepted the proposition and
thanked the club for its past kind
nesses in allowing the students the
use of the hall free.

find the indebtedness should have been
$2457.65, with interest to be added.
There were two items which should
have been paid by the city in 1908.
These items, R. S. Price, 115.00, and the
Prineville Light & Water Co., a bill for
hydraota, 1198.50.
The expense for the year up to Pec.
1st, i t2533.1T, as the following items
will show :
Interest on bonded indebtedness f t00.60
Genera! expenses 301.70
Treasurers fees 35.83
Printing (W.10
Marshal's salary and fees 793.9
Rent of Council Chamber 100.00
Fire Department 350.75
Lumber 170.02
Recorder's fees 111.20
2333.17
Your committee thinks the city
should improve the streets and keep
fully abreast of the times. They need
grading.
The city assessment is based upon a
property valuation of $179,181. We
recommend that one will be levied for
road fund, half a mill for the park fund,
six mills for the general fund, and IS
mills for the fire department fund,
which makes a total levy of nine mills
for municipal purposes. Upon the
propertr valuation above stated this
levy will yield the following amounts:
Road fund t 479 18
Park fund 239 5'J
General fund 2875 08
Fire Department fund.. 718 77
Total amount M312 62
In discussing the city levy it was
shown by comparison with other places
that a 9-mill levy was very reasonable.
Astoria has a 10-mill levy, Baker City
2C$, Medford 17,,". Hillsboro 9 310,
Grants Pas 8, Enterprise 10, etc. Theee
places, too, are assessed at full valuation
of property.
The city Marshall made the following
report for month ending December 7,
1909:
Made two arrests for drunkenness;
repaired sidewalk in front of J. If.
Haner's place. Repaired the following
crosswalks : On Second and B streets,
on Second and A streets, A and Second
and A and Third. Put in new crocs
walks on C and Second. The dam and
beadgate of the city ditch was washed
out during the recent high water. The
Ochoco bridge needs the attention of
the city council as the recent high water
has washed under the south end to
some extent. One hundred and five
dollars and twenty cents were collected
from fines, etc., during the month and
tamed over to the city.
(Signed) Wade IIcstok,
Marshal.
For the year just closed the marshal
reports that t96 were received from dog
tax, $314.30 from fines, 29 from 1908
water rents, 1216.55 from 1909 water
rents, $12.50 from impounding cows and

An old Glasgow skinflint breakfast
ed every morning on porridge and In
order to save fuel cooked a whole
week's supply every Saturday.
One Friday uionilug the stuff seemed
very cold and very salt, and he felt
he must abandon the struggle to eat It
Hut his stubborn nature forbade any
such thought. So he fetched the whis
ky from the cupboard, poured out a
glass and placed It before htm on the
table.
"Now, Sandy." said he, "If ye eat
that parr Itch ye'Il hae that whisky an'
If ye don't ye won!."
He stuck agntn at the Inst spoonful,
but. keeping his eye steadily on the
gtnss of whisky, be made a bold,
brave effort and got It down.
Then he slowly and carefully poured
the whisky luto the bottle, with a
broad grlu, as he said to himself:
"Sandy, my lad, I did ye that time,
ye auld swindler."

Irish Wit.
la the early sixties there lived In the
west of Ireland a priest and a Protec
tant minister who were very friendly
with one another. Each of thcui pos
sessed a spice of the true native wit.
The priest owned a mare which bad
been given to him by a parishioner In
the days of bis youth. The old mare
was getting on In years and at last fell
very sick. She tottered rather than
trotted and refused to eat the finest
corn or the freshest bay. Each day
the minister on meeting bis friend.
Father Daly, would Inquire particular
ly after the poor old animal's health,
and each day for a week or so he re
ceived the same answer, "She Is no
better, but still alive." At Inst one
day after the usual sympathetic In
quiry be was told that the mare was
Scad. Thinking to take bis friend un

lie asked Father Daly If he bad given
ihe poor animal absolution before she
