Credit ible 1'roKrHiinue of fcxerclifs VrrwM the ('oiiferrlnir of Dlplo man Frlifaf Night. A class of fon neon youni pnoplfl was K'aduated from tin) Barclay lliuti School lant Friday everiint;. The exercises were held at hlnvely a opera liou-w wlucli was coiiitortalily filled by tli friends of the yoiiritf graduates, to whom the occasion was among the moat enjoyable tliey have vet experienced. It was not a llowerlena commencement day, by any meaiia, al though the time ol year is known for its scarcity of flowers. On the contrary, there were innumerable floral GiIeriiiKg for the yoiinir graduates, who have the well wishes of many frienda that they may as creditably cope with the afTaira ol the biiHineHH world as they have mas tered their text-hooks. After a (auitlesdy rendered piano solo, Haifa "t'actioucha," by Mis Kdna Uanl ton, ami an invocation by Hev. I'. K. Ilaiiiinond, Mixa Kosti-r delixhted the audience by eirii"( 'Thou'rt Like L'nto a Lovely Flower." Mis Cros gave a Hplendid interpretation of "The l)ebu- tanUt" and the audience gave unmistak able evidence of its appreciation. Miss Cross is a capable elocutionist whom it is a pleasure to In-ar. The soloist of the evenuiK was Mrs. Kilen Kinsman Maun, of I'ortlatid. Her rendition of "Roses" anil "Coining Kpring," by Dudley Buck, was especially pleasing to the musical people of this city who pronounced her singing artist ic and superb. In presenting a class history, Miss Marv F.Men Long caused much amuse ment. Margaret Wilkinson and Nettie Bradley gsve piano duet and Hatie Sul livan afterwards rendered an instrumen tal solo. These numbers deserved the complimentary remarks that followed their presentation. Varied and flatter ing were the careers accorded the mem liers of the class by Carl Harixberger, w ho presented the class history. An ap preciative knowledge of the Webfoot mate and Its unlimited resources was dis closed by Miss Lillian F. Hayward in her essay on "Resources ol Oregon." The pa per showed much careful preparation, and was a credit to any high school graduate. Native musical talent was shown in the instrumental quartet ky Flea, Malcolm, Wallace and William Telford. The class poem was delivered by Carl Nitntnons, and it was a creditable ilTort. As a class, the graduates were repre sentative of the product of the Oregon City high school. The class is a credit 10 the public schools of the city, to Miss Clark as city superintendent, and to the various teacbers who liau a part in the instructing of the young graduates. The evening exercises were concluded with the presentation by Dr. W. K. Carll, chairman of the board of directors, of diplomas of graduation to the members of the class, who were: Nettie Grayilon Bradley, Ella Frances Evans, Carl F. (ianong, Carl Otto Har isherger, Lillian Fiances Havward.Mary F.llen Long, .Milow Burnett Mack, Imo gens Candace Myers, Alvm Iheodore ScbniHle, William John Strange, Katie May Sullivan, James Carlton Simmons, Vi illiain Joseph Telford, Margaret Boyd Wilkinson. "raddle Your Own Canoe," was the class motto. W AS CEBTA1.UT A "BRICK." Fellow, Ulvhig the Same of Kocke, ltuucoed Aurora People. A man who gave his name as C. W. Rncke, and said he was a cousin of Dr. Rocie of I'ortland, honored our town with a visit about two weeks ago, says the Aurora Borealls. He had woman with him whom he passed oft as his sister-in-law, chiming that she was very wealthy. They were making a trip through the valley with a view to invest ing part of her money in property hotel property preferred, at least that was the song while here. At the same time he was working for the Ctna Life Insurance Company and did considerable soliciting in the neighborhood. What success he had is not yet fully known. He sold an accident policy to W. Cristal of this place and accepted his nute for S in payment of first premium. Later he sold the note to F. W . Will at a great discount. Mr. Cristal was to receive bis policy in a few days, but it never came, and now it ap pears the .Ktna people knew nothing of the transaction. . . From here be went to Butteville and made his headquarters with Mrs. L. B. Saunders of that place. He gave her to understand that in reality be was a de tective, having taken uo the lite insur ance business as a side line. He pro posed to solve the mystery surrounding the death of the late L. B. Saunders and gained the confidence of the widow and her family. He remained with Mrs. Saunders for about a week and finally persuaded her to take out a $2,(HK) life insurance policy in the A'Ad, the annual premium of which would amount to $112. He agreed to take a team of horses and a buggy for (75, a receipted board bill for $10, and her note for the balance. At this stage of proceedings he found be had appoint ments elsewhere, and said be bad to leave and could not wait for the examin ing physician to arrive, at the same time uiving Mrs. Saunders bis note for $85 as security should she fail in passing the medical examination. He then left for fresh pastures plus fairly good team, harness and buggy, worth probably $100 to$150. As soon as Dr. B. F. Giesy of this city arrived to make the examination be saw that the widow had been imposed upon, and told ber so. Mrs. Saunders is hard of hearing and that alone would have barred ber from getting a policy. Dr. Uiesy returned to town and tried to no tify the AHna people at Portland by tele phone, but arrived here too late. This was last 6aturday, and the matter was delayed until Monday morning. A de tective was sent up by the company Mon day evening and he proceeded to track the illustrious Kocke and his rocky deals. A lraiii. One night after a hanl day's toll, I'ilfiriiig rocks from ths virgin toll, I lail me down to rrst my weary nones Tired and aching Irom lilting heavy stones. I had scarce closed my eyes In slumber When I was disturbed by dreams without number And I saw pna before me people from all clllnet, Each beariiiK a motto inscribed "hard times." As they passed on, a ragged, motley throng. i imteneii tin ail nail Konr. MethoiiKht f rose and followed after, Guided by curses, ilionts and laughter. The throng, they hurried fast and faster As thouKh to Vni some dread disaster. Kvt man they ias follows sIouk, Helping to awall the growing throng. Karh seems supplied by miraculous aid With a molt, i ms'le u suitably read, To express his particular grief And point out hi plan for a nation's relief. "More money'' rea'Js the motto of tbe moneyless man. "Less money 'the motto of the capitalist clan Here comes a banner say "the trouble Is due to inflation." Another beside it tsys '"til due to contrac tion." "More tir.II." in letters bin and bold "So taiill'' on a banner battered and old "rree whiskey, ' says trie bummer, with S leer in bis eye, "No whiskey at all," tbe prohibitionists cry. "High license," "low license,"' "no license at all" Dire calamity is lure to befall, I'uless we listen to each of these sages Who Imagine their name will resound throngti the aires. The guiding star and grand inspiration, To the lariher upbuilding of this down trodden nation. Tbs black Mag of piracy fltunli on the air, Ths red Max of anarchy floats boldly there; And still they coxa Irom every direction Each adding nil mite to swell tbe distrac tion. Till the world seems gone mad with fear of disaster impending. O'er all these oposing forces contending. Till at last as ths throng rushes madly along. Here comes an old fellow quietly bumming a sohg. No sign of grief, fear or distraction Appears to embarrass the old fellow's ac tion. As with hand hardened witii toil. He unlolds a banner most modest of all. i' noted on a modest back ground, in let ters of gold. Are some mottoes, well remembered of old. "Industry, economy and thrift, Is the only hoiol the poor; These alone are the only sure shift To keep the dreaded wolf from the door." Uetbonght ths throng turned in bitter mood, And like an overwhelming Hood, They bore the old down 'neath cruel feet, And lelt him crashed and bleeding in tbe street. We want none of your ancient maxims To quell our long sought distraction, For this is our great election day. And we're here to help swell the fray. To turn the rascals out and In their places Put "ourselves" between the traces; And then we'll pull this Car of State, Straight onward to a happier fate. We' II be honest and patriotic. We'll change the present state chaotic; We II give every man a chance to rule, And none denied except tbe fool, Who tails to see things as we see them. At this point I awoke, and behold it was alia dream, induced by reading some of the editorials in the courier. E. P. Cabtxb. Tested Fiki Appabatis. Chief Ru cor.ich of tbe city fire department, con ducted a novel test of fire apparatus last Tuesday. An agent of a newly iuvented fire extinguisher, similar in design to the Babcock, was in tbe city, and endeav ored to sell several of the apparatus to the city for use in fighting fire: A pile of boxes and straw was placed on the river bank back of tbe Electric hotel and thoroughly saturated with coal oil. Tbe match was then applied, and when tbe flames bad reached their height, tbe ex tinguishers were brought into use. The ore was extinguished in two minutes. Several citizens witnessed tbe demon stration, and it is likelv that the appar atus will be purchased both by the city and by private parties tor use in business buildings in the city. It is expected that tbe city will purchase several of the extinguishers for the city schools, and a few for the use of the fire department. The extinguishers are manufactured by a St. Louis concern, and are somewhat like the Babcocks, although it is held that they are superior to them. Died at Clark bs. The death of Henry Kliensmith, of Clarkes, occurred at his home at that place Monday. Death was caused by pneumonia. The funeral was held Tuesday, and interment was in the Clarkes cemetery, the de ceased was a well-known resident of tbe Clarkes aeighborhood, he having resided there for the past 20 years, and was well known in this city. He leaves a wife and several grown children to mourn his taking off. He was 68 years of age at tbe time of his death. Patents fob Settlers. Homestead patents arrived at the land office tbe first of the week for the following settlers: Jacob Hiltune, Andrew Lam hi, Louis Myllenbeck, Willard Jones, James H. Westcott, Isaac T. Wilson, Ivo Wam beke, James Peterson, Eli CouIsod, Arthur J, Huston, James A. Stevens. Susan E. Baker, James Vaughn, William Henderson, Fiancis M.

MADE BIG SAVING Expenses of Clackamas Countjr For Year U)0:j Were $10,000 Less Than in 1902 How's Thm tar a Kfpuhli liran '(.'ngj' The airPIMtA rnut ni inntlnntini tl.a W affairs of Cla,-krns county for th year 1003 was $;i7,2-.'7 30 as against $-17,610.80 for the ye.r 1!K)2. This saving of more than $10,000 in tbe expenses of the county was accom plished larrely in the b-idgn account, in w hich, be aue of r lack of fund-, work was largely suspended during the year just closed. Such bridg work as was done was charged to the road fund, of which there is a siK-i-ial fund. Tbe expense of the Var.ous county of fices was prjctically the same lor tbe two years. During the year 1902, $10,530 GO was expended in the repairing ami construc tion of bridges in this county. That amount includes Hie building of num ber of new structures, and the eonnty was this year spared this additional ex pense. Reference to the records of the county, however, reveals that this saving of $10, 000, or any large part of ir, was not saved on the bridge account. During the year 1903, Clackamas county spent within $3000 ol the same amount that was ex pended in bridge building (or tbe year 1902.
