ELKINS COMPANY
The colonial party given by the
K'hocoiilans with the Alphas rut the
tieU of honor wa one of the most
unique and enjoyable social eventa
( the year. Many o( the atudents
and part ol the (acuity appeared as
colonial ladies and Kcntletuca and
lelt much at home la the reception
room which was decorated with a
irotutdon ot flags and other re
minders ot colonial times. An es
pecially unique teature o( the deco
rations was the old fire place with
the Iron pot banging (rom the crane
and aliove It the picture o( George
Wellington draped lo the stars and
stripes. The entertainment took the
guilts back to the old colony days,
as Longfellow's "Miles Stenrtlsb"
was given by the Ochoconians. Miss
Kthel Moore read the descriptive
oarts o( the poem, while Lawerence
Muter, Adolouus Myers and Miss
Mamie Bailey took the parts o( Miles
Standlnh, John Alden and Prlwllla,
reniHftively. Each Is to be com
mended lor the entertainment the
production gave the audience and
(or the excellent manner in which the
part) were taken. After the play,
each guest was presented with the
historical hatchet upon which was
written a colonial occupation or
amusement, by means of which part
ners were selected (or the grand
march and lunch. A dainty souvenir,
a colonial hat filled with bon-bons,
in the Ochoconlan colors was pre
sented the guetits as the last - course
of the lunch. The evening s amuse
ment was appropriately concluded
liv each counle belnir called upon to
give a shadow pantomime of the
occupation or amusement upon their
hatchet. It was discovered, much to
merriment o( the audience, that
many had little Idea ot how to per
form the tasks so common to our
(orefathers. At a late hour the stu
dents sang "Goodnight Ladles" and
denarted long to remember the Col
onial Party of 1910.

The Alpha S'Kiety program FrI
day was short but made up In qual
Ity what It lacked In quantity. At
the conclusion ot the regular pro
gram, a discussion on parliamentary
rules was taken no and It was de
cided to secure a copy ot "Robert'
Utiles ol Order" and keep It where all
could have access to It and thus each
would have an opportunity to per-
fecthlmself in parliamentary practice.
The Alphas feel a vote of thanks Is
due the Ochoconians tor the pleasant
evening spent as their guests on Fri
day.
Ockactaiaai.
Tfife Ochoconians held one ol the
most Interesting meetings or tne
year on last Friday. The program
opeued with an Instrumental duet
bv Misses Lotta Smith and Agnes
Elliott which was followed by an
Instrumental solo by Miss Mamie
Bailey; both musical numbers were
greatly appreciated by the students.
The first number of the literary pro
gram was a humorous selection by
Walter Larwood, (ollowed by an
essay on "Socrates" by Donald Bur
leigh who gave some Interesting In
cidents In the life of this eminent
philosopher. The Talks by William
Oiswell and Aaron Hoffman on the
"Sante Fe Trail", and the "Decline of
the Cattle Industry In Eastern Ore
gon," showed careful preparation
and were ot lutense Interest to the
members ol the society. Mabel
Peak's declamation was especially
well given as was the "Ochoconlan
Keview," edited by Miss Ethel Kidder.
Miss Kidder and her assistants
showed some especially clever work
in this edition and we hope we will
soon listen to another paper with
this famous editor on the staff. The
last number on the program was an
oration "The Higher Education,
by Miss Emerine Young, which
brought out the advantages accru
ing to the student who has had an
opportunity to finish In the higher
institutions ol learning.
Junior and Sopkoaaorea.
The Juniors have just begun the
study of Emerson's "Essays." We
feel they are to lie envied as an entire
new field of knowledge la open to
the student when this author U
first studied.
The sophomores are beginning
their oratorical work. Some hope
to be ready to enter the coming con
tent and all are getting the practice
(or next year's work. We (eel with
this beginning the sopbomorva will
be able to carry off many honors
during their Junior and senior years.
The sophomores will have to work.

Firemen's Annual
Masquerade Bail
The firemen'a annnal masquerade
ball on the evening of February 21
packed the Commercial Clob hall to it
limit. Maskers were there (rom all
parts of the county. Spectators were
jammed in every nook and corner. The
line of march formed promptly and rep
resented characters from all walks in
life. Some of the costumes were very
pretty and showed much originality
and good taste on the tart of the
wearer.
The first prize (or the btet waltzers
was woo by Sylvester Staffts of Bend,
and Miss Anna O'Neil of O'Neil.
The prize (or the second best altzjr
was earned off by Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Coon.
I lie beit sustained character prize
was won by V. fc. IJuakenburh, as a
"Knight". The beat sustained lady
character was awarded to Uvell Dillon
and Merle Ireland, who represented
"Two Little Girls in Blue."
Marston White as "Uncle Sam and
Miss Beulah Hyde as a "Colonial Lady'
won the prizes (or the prettiest costume.
Urnn M ils and Alvin vtbitsett, as
two "old people from the country,
won the lady and gent prizes ' for the
best burlesque.
Both local papers were represented
on Uie floor, Vivian Hinkle as the Crook
County Journal girl and Mary McDow
ell as the Review.
The firemen took in $162.75, and after
paying all expenses will have over a
hundred dollars to place to their credit
in the bank.
A special from Shaniko to the Ore
gonian, dated February 20, says that
Alex. Floren, stripping every piece of
clothing from his body, walked into tha
snow-overed Eagle Creek hills back of
Camp No. 3, operated by Randul A 15a-'
ker in the constrnction of the Oregon
Trunk Line, snd without doubt has
perished. No particular effort baa aa
yet been made to find him.
Floren was a stanger to the camp '
workmen and was first noticed by them
as they returned from work the evening
of February 15. Floren was then seen
about a mile from the camp seated upon
hisTiedding. When addressed Floren
refused to aocwer, and asked by one of
the men if he were ill, he nodded his
head.
The following morning the men who
had first observed Floren went back to
ascertain why he had not come in.
They found the bundle of bedding, snd
neatly piled above it, was all the cloth
ing in which Floren ha J been dressed
when last seen. Prints of the man's
bare feet could be seen leading away
from the Spot.
Two employes of the grading camp at
once fi flowed the trail. As the sun
grew warmer bis footprints were oblit
erated by the melting snows and the
search was abandoned. Contractor Ba
ker mounted a horse and rode through
the woods in an effort to discover the
man and word was sent to the author
ities of Wasco county, but they had not
put in an appearance up to the night of
February 18. On. tltat- day snow fell in
the Eagle Creek Mountains, and it is
now considered useless to attempt to
rescue the missing man.
In the pocket of the coat discarded by
Floren was an insurance policy num
bered 6t29 for $1000, is&ued by the Fi
delity Mutual Company of Portland, on
February 6. A sister, Mrs. Mai berg, is
named as the beneficiary. The age ot
Floren was given as 32 years. A 17-jewel
Hamilton open-face gold watch was also
found. The property is in the hands of
the timekeeper at Camp No. 3.
Salem People Buy
D. G. Rogers' Lands
A land sale of some prominence took
place in the Opal Prairie country last
Friday when the D. G. Rogers property
was sold to a party of Salem people
composed ot Lewis Wylde, D. L. Wylde,
John T. Ross, and E. Mouna, J. L. Mo

the Opal Prairie neighborhood and are
traversed by the surveys of both the
Harriman and Hill railroads. It is ru

proposition, but the report has not been
confirmed.

ovr Crook county lands accompanied
by other members of the party, was in

Wool Sale Dates.
Dates for the 1910 wool sales in Ore
gon were announced by Dan P. Smythe,
secretary of the State Woolgrowera
Association. The dates were fixed
through agreement between the East
ern buyers and the local and state or
ganizations of sheepmen.
Under the sales date system, the
growers are supposed to hold their clips,
concentrate them at some one of the
several points decided upon, and upon
the dates fixed, the buyers offer sealed
bids upon each of the clips. The grower
has the privilege of rejecting any or all
bids. The system has proved very sat
isfactory in the past.
The schedule of dates announced was
as follows: Pendleton, May 24 and
June 10; Pilot Rock, May 27 and June
11; Echo, May 25; Heppner, May 31
and June 17; Vale, June 13; Ontario,
June 14 j Shaniko, June 7, June 21 and
July 7; Enterprise and Wallowa County
July 12.
Will Reopen
Land To Entry
The officials of the local land office
have received instructions in regard to
the restoration of a tract of land, em
bracing about 85,000 acres, which is
located in Wasco and Sherman counties
on the Deschutes river.
This land was withdrawn from entry
April 25, 1906. It will be subject to
settlement on and after May 9, 1910.
Particular caution is given that no one
will be permitted to exercise any right
over any of these lands between Jan
uary 10 and May 9, 1910.
The land is described as follows : All
of township 3 south range 14 E. W. M ;
township 2 south range 15; all of sec
tions 2 to 11, 14 to 22 and 23 to 36, In
clusive; township 3 south range 12 E
all of sections 1-2-5 6-11 to 15 and 19 to
36, inclusive; township 1 south range 16
E , all of sections 1-2-3-7-10 to 15, inclu
sive; section 18, all sections 21 to 28 and
33 to 36, inclusive ; township 2 south
range 16 E., all of sections 1 to 4, 9 to
17, and 28 to 36, inclusive.
The reopening of this land will, with
out doubt, cause a big rush on the part
of homeseekers. The Dalles Chronicle.

May Throw Open
Warm Spring Lands
Steps are being . taken to have the
lands included in the Warm Springs
Indian reservation thrown open to
settlement. Before this can be done it
will be necessary to have congress en
act a law to that effect. As this takes
time it is urged that the movement
should begin immediately. As the
lands lie in Crook and Wasco the com
mercihl bodies of both counties should
co-operate at once with the commercial
organizations of Portland so that the
matter can be brought before the pres
ent congress.
According to the records in the office
of the Suryeyor-General, the Warm
Springs reservation embraces 600,000
acres. Of that area 315.860 acres have
been surveyed, leaving 284,140 acres of
unsurveyed lands within the boundaries
of the reservation. Of the surveyed
lands 100,000 acres are tillable, while
the remaining 213,860 acres are valuable
for grazing.
