THE MORNING OREGON! AN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1903. 11 TO FACE THE COLD WORLD HIGH SCHOOL, SENDS OUT FORTV. FIVE GRADUATES. Frbrunry CInss Is GtTcn Cbecrlnc Advice by Ilcv. J. V. Gliormley, and In Applauded. Twenty-nine girls and 16 boys, clad In chining -white and romber black, received their diplomas as graduates of the Port land High School at the exercises last evening-. All the fathers, mothers and friends -were there to share In their tri umph, and the crowd applauded each one a; the- coveted diploma was handed to him by Richard WJUIams. the chairman of the Board of Education. After four years of constant study thcee young people have completed the courso of study In the High School, and, having reached this round In the ladder of learning, must pass on to a higher Institution. Though proud of tfcilr achievement In graduating from the High School, some seemed loth to part .from the place where they have spent so many pleasant and profitable days, and their smiles as they returned the congrat ulations of tbelr admiring friends were saddened by the thought that no longer could they call themselves students. The class -which was graduated last evening -was net so large by four as that which left the school In February of last year, and Is considerable- smaller than the class which will finish the course next JUne, but the number -which crowded the stage last evening was In every way a credit to the school, and the standing of the class was excellent. Those who won the highest honors and are annonuced as the flrst-honor pupils are: Charles William Henderson. Emma S trout, end Fred Zimmerman. A glance over the following names of the remainder of the class shows that the girls arc nearly twice as strong In numbers" as the boys, a comparison that holds good In almost every division of the school. In securing the highest honors the boys seem to have held their own, as two are num bered among those making the best record. Had the February class of 1903 been any larger. It would have meant that more proud parents would have crowded the as sembly hall of the High School, where the graduating exercises were held, a con dition hardly to be desired, as It was standing room only by the time the class had filed upon the platform. Rev. J. F. Ghormley. pastor of the First Christian Church, delivered the address to the class, and the music was furnished by the "Wilder string quartet and Mrs. Max M. Shillock In two contralto solos. As the prelude began the graduating class filed upon the stage, while their friends applauded heartl'y. Seated on the stage were two members of the Board of Education, Richard Williams and Her man Wittenberg. Professor T. T. Davis, the principal of -he High School; City Superintendent Frank Rigler and the speaker of the evening,. Rev. J. F. Ghorm- The opening number was a song by eight demure youn ladles comprising the girls" chorus. Then two of the alumni carried on the big harp belonging to the Wilder String Quartet, while their friends cheered them laugblngly for their struggles with the cumbrous instrument. The "Chimes of Normandy" wns prettily rendered by the quartet, wnich responded to the ap plause with the sweet strains of the In termezzo of the "Cavallerla Rustlcana." Professor Davis then Introduced Rev. Mr. Ghormley. who addressed the gradu ates on the opportunities which lay before them and the neccrslty of specialized effort, under the present conditions of com petition In every line of endeavor. "Aa you early learned the meaning of the letters and the mode of grouping them to form words, sentences, chapters and volumes which mean the accomplishment of some one's life work, so must your studies lead up to that which Is hlgber and larger until you, too, have accom plished your life work. "In this state of our social fabric we are dependent upon an educated people, and the education which you have derived here helps to make you a more Important member of the class which forms the high est element of society." After emphasizing the fact that no such thing as luck existed nr.d the headway one made depended upon one's own efforts. Mr. Ghormley told the graduates of the almost invariable success of the man with one purpose to which he devoted his entire attention, and closed with a description of the wonderful opportunities- before a young person In this age. Mrs. Max M. Shillock. accompanied by Mrs. T. T. Davis, gave two contralto solos, one a Scotch ballad called "Bonnie Sweet Bessie" and the other a plaintive melody called "The Day Is Done." by Balfe. Richard Williams, chairman of the Board of Education, next took his place beside a bushel basket containing the long-looked-for parchments of the gradu ates. The 45 members of the February class .of 1303 filed past him. and as each was given the diploma admiring friends clapped their hands In congratulation. Those who received their diplomas last evening and the classes In which they were enrolled were: English Marcartt L. Auld. Julia Genevieve Barnes. Marlon A. Bauer. Hazel 1L Brum. Mary A. Carroll. Ella May Cozens. Claire W. Davis. George A. Dickson. Vera Marie Fields. Samuel Gellert. Bessie Hardy Hoxsle. Edward Maeulrr. IJellle E. Muneer. Albert Newsom. George William Petsch. Hazel Phillips, Frances Viola Powell. Pearl Prince, Harry Locan Ttaf- fety, Beatrice Robinson. Earl Albert Buhl. Myrtle Orpha St. Clair, Irene Belle Tlmms, Matle Irene van Houten.

Latin and English Banner Rarmond Brooke, Charles William Henderson. Nathaniel Coulson Soule. Latin and German Fred Zimmerman. When the-last of the 45 had received a diploma, the string quartet took the floor once more with the "II Solltario" of Ko schat, the concluding number of the pro gramme. During the exercises the tables In front of the stage had been loaded with crim son roses and carnations, corresponding in color to the emblem of the High School. The young ushers distributed the sweet umelllng pile among the graduates, each one. It was noticed, being well remembered by two or three bouquets. An Informal re ception was neld on the lower floor, where congratulations were exchanged. t MERRILL WEST MISSING. Lured by Desire for Adventure, He Runs A -rray From Home. Having failed in two attempts to run away from home, Merrill West, eon of Charles West, of Mllwaukle. finally stole away In the night-time and has not been heard of since. No reason Is known for his eudden desire to face the world alone, as his people are sala to treat him kindly. He watftfond of reading sensational novels, and it is thought that he was carried away with a desire for adventure. He and another boy of about his age planned to leave last Friday afternoon. Accordingly, young- West came homo and told his mother that some neighbors had sent for her. The mother did not suspect anything at the time, and hurriedly went to her friend'fl home, which Is in Midway. On arriving there, she found that she had not been sent for, and was not "expected. Guessing at once that .she had been sent away for a purpose, she hurried home In time to find her son packing up his things and getting ready to leave home. When she tried to etop him he resorted to force, but "was not able .to get away. 'In the . vpr.Inr. hnrrlv twfnrA 4f wa tin. tit- father to get home, he slipped out of the houec.

On a criminal charge of defacing a build ing, a timid youth of less than S yeara of age appeared before Municipal Judge Hosuo yesterday, but his case was not tried. Debs Meach, the Juvenile defend ant, looked Innocently at the Judge and assured him that It was all an accident. He is a bright little fellow and answered the questions put to him in a clear and decisive manner. "I feel that I have been Imposed upon." said Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Adams. "I thought that the complaint was made against some boy who was large enough to be responsible for his actions. I have made lnqujry about this little fellow and BRIDGE AND BARKENTINE AXOTHER COLLISION AT MORRISOX STREET DRAW. Camber-Laden Vessel Mary Wlnkle man Loses Her Topmast Bridge Is Minns s Railing. Collisions between vessels In tow and the Morrison-street bridge draw rest are becoming frequent. One of the worst mis haps of this kind occurred yesterday when the lumber-laden barkentine Mary Wlnklo man. towed by the steamer Ocklahama, tried to pass through the draw., The ves sel had loaded at .the Portland Lumber Company's mill, above the Madison-street bridge, and wat on her way down to As- j torla, bound for Tahiti.

Oregon's youngest city, perhaps now to be more respect fully spoken of as the commercial center of the -Red Boy-Greenhorn mlnlmc dis trict of the Eastern Oregon gold fields, was until Its Incorporation last Wednes day a mining camp which sprang up at the head of the lowest pass to the rail way when the narrow gauge line was extendi d from Sumpter over the .divide to Whitney. Though its first election, which holds the Oregon record for short no tice, was held within four hours after the Incorporation act was filed with the Governor's signature in the offlce of the Secretary of State, a considerable vote was polled, resulting in the choice of P. A. McPhee as Mayor; Peter McCubben. Malcolm Munroe, 11. A- Stewart. J. P. McGulgan and G. P. Leavltt. Councllmen; L. Stelnmetzer, Recorder, and P. A. Phelps. Treasurer.

The owner of the property was enraged at the damage done, his window, and made a criminal charge against the boy. SELLWOOD SCHOOL READY Will Re Occupied nt the Openlnsr of the Coming- New Term. . The pupils of the Scllwood School will occupy most of the new building at the opening of the term. Three grades will continue to occupy outside rooms for a few days, until the floors have thoroughly dried. S. U. Downs, the principal, said all the teachers and pupils are hippy over the prospects of getting all together under one roof and being rid of the con stant noise of hammer and saw. The corps of teachers have had to work under great disadvantages since the be ginning of the year, (but Mr. Downs says all these have submitted cheerfully to all inconveniences, and the work of the school has gone forward as thoroughly as under more faverable conditions. "There were times," said the principal, "when recitations had to stop for a time on account of noise in the building and on the outside." Sellwood now has nearly 300 pupils, who will nearly fill up the new building of eight rooms. The principal eays the building will accommodate M0 easily. PERSONAL MENTION. W. H.

The decline of traffic on the old Erie Canal has been steady since 1SS0, when It reached 71.500,000 bushels. The cause Is attributable to the increased railroad fa cilities. Improvement In carrying capacity of cars and lower rates. Nothing In the way of Increasing the tonnage of the canal has- been done In so many .yearn that boat building has become almost a lost art. and It Is doubtful If much more than 16.000.000 bushels could be carried by this route to the seaboard this year even If the fleet were kept busy from the open ing to tho closing of navigation. In five years. It Is claimed by old canal men. there will bo practically nothing left of the canal tonnage now afloat. Wireless Telcjrrnph on Trust Boats. NEW YORK, Feb. 4.

Bill for Revision of Hawaiian Gov ernmentNew Liquor Law. HONOLULU, Jan. 2S. via San Francis co. Feb. 4. The commission appointed at the recent extra session of the Legisla ture to work with the Republican terri torial central committee In tho prepara tion of a new government act, has made a report to tho central committee, sub mitting an act which will be offered to tho Legislature, after such amendments aa result from discussion before the ses sion begins! The act divides .the territory Into five ccuntles, the lines of division corresponding- with those of the five judicial cir cuits established by Congress in the or ganic act. The form of government is largely modeled after that cf tho State of California. An overwhe'mlng major ity of the members of both houses Is committed to the support of the act. Local liquor dealers are drafting a liquor license law to be presented to the Legislature next month which contains a provision that no license shall be grant ed to any person not an American citi zen, or to any corporation of which over half the stockholders are not Americans. The provision 13 designed to shut out the competition of Asiatics, which is felt to some extent in the retail liquor busi ness. The same plan Is being discussed by business men In other lines of trade and such a system generally established and upheld by the' courts would shut out hundreds of small stores kept by Chi nese and Japanese In Honolulu.

It 13 well known to be a simple com bination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to tho taste and acceptable to tho system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do'not come from any organic trouble arid it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to tho beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it is best to consult the family physician and to avoid tho oltl-time cathartics and loudly advertised nos trums of the present day. When one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condi tion of tho system, use the true and gentle remedy Syrup' of Figs and enjoy freedom from the depres sion, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are dne to inactivity of the bowels. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guar antee of the excellence of the remedy tho full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co. is printed on the front of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraud ulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, tho offer of any substitute, when Syrnp of Fig3 is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some flrst-clas3 drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies. Tho genuine article may be bought of all reliable druggists everywhere at 60 cents per bottle. fjmjIllLt u 'uaIJjtJH:HtIi:TTlJ 1 1 HIMHffia3igBWI i mil llrTITHTfT H TTTTTTrTTTrMB w i
