How the Work Eaded-i-ClosinE Scene in Philomath Pnblic School.' Last Friday, March 25th, closed the year's work for the - Philomath public school, "and the day 'will' al ways belremembered by the many present as one of the most " enjoy able in the history of Philomath's public school work,. .It "was an all day's treat for the patrons and friends of the school and was indeed a fitting close of a successful year's work. . : ' . . A part of the. morning was spent in exchanging friendly greetings, until the days' s work for ' ' teachers and pupils commenced. Every number oh the program was a sue cess, as was also the bounteous luncheon which had found its way to the chool house from , every point of the compass.: After din ner the exercises were continued and again reflected naught but credit on our able corps of teachers, To look upon the bright and contented countenances of our boys and girls was ' an inspiration, for they betokened work well done. and the happy willingness of each to do his work and do it well show ed the unity between teachers and pupils in happy days gone by. - This day closed Prof. Pratt's work of four years in our . school. As one always deeply interested in the work of our public schools, and noting the work from year to year, we feel competent Jo assert that never has there been .seen greater unity of purpose nor . more general good will than have exist ed between Prof. Pratt . and his pupils, and also his co-workers in the school, during this entire time. This closing day only emphasized the fact thai this is the general feeling and that Philomath people appreciate his earnest labors among them. Mrs. Pratt has had charge of the primary grades the past two years and the little folks are happy that- they can continue their work under her kind and skillful management, even after they have had one "last day" for she will teach a private school in what has been known as "Mrs. Pratt's room" these sev eral years. The work of Prof, and Mrs. Springer, teachers of the intermed iate grades, rounds out the year's success. The parts of the closing day's entertainment furnished by the pupils of their grades were es pecially good an4 showed, cafeful training, as well as patience and perseverance fot both teachers and pupils. ' v We can wish our teachers noth ing better than that they may be as successful in the future as they have been in the past. - .Philomath. A Treat Promised. Homer Davenport is coming to town, Saturday, April 9th, to give a talk oh "The Power of a Car toon," illustrated with sketches by his clever pencil, made before ' the audience. " The fact that Mr.; Dav enport was born ' in ' Oregon and that his early reputation was made on this Coast will make " his ap pearance here of s special interest. Hundreds of people in Oregon and California call ' him - Homer.x 'and other thousands are -familiar with his work and with the incidents of his remarkable career ' His talks, accompanied with his pictures, and enriched with true Homeric anec dote have a charm that 1 is unique and compelling. Quiet old Silver ton, Oregon, bestirred itself in some mysterious way to furnish a verit able Iliad of quaint humor and fas cinating romance, which told in Homer's captivating phrase, de serves immortality. 1 In one of his lectures Mr. Dav enport told how he had endeavored year after year, to get exported from Silverton with the butter and eggs which that city sends forth in to the world every day and how he each time was returned though the butter and eggs stayed. Then he described his endeavor to draw ' a j stove for the Oregonian advertising j department and his narrow escape lrom' involving the ; paper- in a damage suit as the 1 result. Next he related his visit to the Marquam "Grand theatre many " years ago, when he and his sister came to see Clara Morris, and because they neglected to provide1 themselves with handkerchiefs, " caught cold from bathing their feet in the tears they shed. Mr. Davenport's easy, natural st3'le of telling his stories captivates his audiences from the start, and he keeps the house in an almost continual chuckle. To the Voters of Eenton County: Acceding to the wishes of a large number 01 patrons and friends of our public schools, I submit my name to the voters of Benton county for the office of county school superintendent. Very Respectfully, S. I. Pratt. Philomath, Oregon, Mar. 7, 1904. TWO BI(r5YSTEM$fTH&. ' ' ' s IV Alsea Farmer, and Raral PJwmep . Fifteen Milet if Wir Enrontfi toj " Valley. " "-' f - At one of the railroad stations - in this city is enough wire for 15 miles of telephone line together -withne-: cessaryj insulators - and brackets, and - seventeen , telephone instra-. meats, and thereby hangs a tale. The outfit is the property of the Farmers" Mutual Telephone Com pany, which is building a 'network of lines in Alsea Valley Thestock- holders are farmers of the vicinity,; and the curious fact is that the val-1 ley is already well served with5 a system of rural telephones, operated and controlled by the Alsea telephone company. Equally cunoUs is the fact that the stockholders and offi cers of tie Farmers Mutual are al-i most identical with the stockholders and officers of the Alsea Company .' The reason for the unusual condii tion is that theTAlseans have gain ed wisdom by their fexperiehce .in; the telephone business, and thenew Organization of the Farmers Mutual is a move for future operations in whichjthis wisdom is to bej embod-i led. By the new plan the farmers build and mantain their' own' lines and own their own instruments.; Each builds his portion, and when it is completed and ready for opera' tion, he turns it over to the company The line built and equipped is all the property the company : owns. Each farmer, likewise, buys his own phone, and this remains his'individ ualproperty. The wire used in con struction is No 14, land the phones the best that can pe procured. The line is to be maintained as an entire ly independent system, and it is the purpose ultimately to secure connec tions with a Corvallis system. -The officers of the Farmers Mu tual are: president G T Vernon; vice president J. E. Taylor, secre tary Elsie Banton; treasurer, S. N. Warfield. Executive committe: Marion Hayden, L. G. Headrick and M. G. Vernon. The four offi cers and the executive committee constitute the ' board of managers which controls the operationslof the company. The material at the local station is shortly to be sent to Alsea "hnd construction werk on the new system will begin at once. IN LITIGATION. Disposition Made ofjCasss in the Circuit .
