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

F.llen Long, .Milow Burnett Mack, Imo
gens Candace Myers, Alvm Iheodore

"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.

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.

This saving of more than $10,000 in

Tbe expense of the Var.ous county of

During the year 1902, $10,530 GO was
expended in the repairing ami construc

amount includes Hie building of num

however, reveals that this saving of $10,
