' N ' t;rday afternoon and spending the hours that should have been passed in study In a happy, free-from-all-care jannt to l.ke Whatcom. Tlie outbreak against the . ruling of the faculty was one of the moat daring ever accomplished. Yesterday evening a meeting of teachers was held to discuss the actipns of the students and' to decide on the punisliment.. , During the hours of, morning . studies yesterday the seniors sat' in the school building and gazed out Of the Windows -at the green grass, at the fruit trees burst ing forth in bloom and at the sunshine. It was irresistible. At the noon hour the . students could talk on only one subject, and that had no relation to studies. . Some one sug gested that the entire senior class take a half holiday, and almost all assented. Three girls and one boy, a Japanese, re. fused to enter the plot. Th remainder of the class, valedictorian and all, walked from the building and started up town. On the way to the business part of the city the girls stopped at a store and srmed themselves with cheese and crack, ers and pickles. A car to Lake What com was boarded with a rush and the Journey started. The boys of the class acted the part of true gallants. At Silver Beach the stu dents rented a big roller coaster and for an hour the coming graduates en.ioyed themselves to their hearts' content. Then a dash ' was made for boathouses. and a short time was spent on the waters of the lake by those students who cared for this .pastime. .lust what position Principal Twltmyer will take on the actions of the students Is now only a matter of surmise. It is believed that the escapade, so near the end of the school year, will have no effect on the standing of the graduates. The lea.t the seuiors expect is that they will be forced to make up their lost day.' MCDrVRD ROAD IS SOLD Crater Lake Hallway Goes to Michi gan .Men for $02,700. MEDTORli, Or.. April 20. (Special.) At I o'clock this afternoon Receiver Kddy. In accordance with the order of the Circuit Court of Jackson County, offered at receiver's sale the property of the Medford Crater I-ake Rail way. The sale took place at Jackson-, vllle. and. contrary to the expectations of those interested, the bidders were few. Stephen tirver. and Judge Dur liam. for his client. Mr. Dewing, of Kalamazoo, Mich., were the only hld ders. At 2:l& the bids had craw-led up to 157.500, with no other bidders than the two mentioned. At 2:45 the bid ding reached the high-water mark at 162,700. nd the road was knocked down to Judge Durham for Dewing A Sons, of Kalamazoo, at that figure. The extremely low price offered Is somewhat surprising, in view of the rainbow talk indulged In prior to the sale. But the fact that the purchas ers of the road are abundantly able to complete It without delay warrants Its early operation as soon as the sale Is confirmed. Dewing & feons have large Interests In the vicinity of Butt Falls and these Interests demand the opera tion of the line. For this reason the transfer of the road to them glveg gen eral satisfaction. The sale is not conclusive, as ' an offer of 10 per cent above the accepted bid can yet be made within five days, and the sale will be reopened. Owing to the low figure it la very doubtful whether the court will confirm the sale. - well and Payette, and 28 at Welser.

That the Umatilla River, or its treacherous' tributary. Meacham Creek, has added another victim to its already long list Is now believed. Early on the morning of Tuesday, April 9. the boy started to bring some butcher ing tools to within two miles of Pendle ton. Up to last night not the slightest trace of horse- or rider had been seen since. His course would compel him to ford Meacham Creek several times and as the stream was rapidly rising that day as the result of the recent rains, the horse was probably overcome in the raging tor rent, and while floundering in the stream, the boy was drowned. .... The animal, a large roan mare, was one of the famous cattle horses in this part of the country. Sensible and sure-footed, she had" often been counted on to-cross Meacharrt Creek when it would have been sure death to any other horse; - On one occasion .she was used to resedte six per sons from death in a flood and in so do ing was compelled, to cross the stream '12 times. Horse and rider knew each other perfectly and it was because of these facts, that relative's were at first loth to believe that young Davis had been drowned. It was for this reason that the search ing parties heretofore sent out have been scouring the mountains, fearing -that the ,bby had met with foul play or some fatal accident which had rendered him help less, and that he was slowly starving to death in some remote place,, or. that his body had already fallen a prey to fits hungry coyotes. This mornlngi however, a searching party left this city with the intention of making a systematic .search of the bed of the stream, in hopes of find ing the e6rpsc, PliAX TO AMEND THE CHARTER - . Peo'nle: of Pendleton Discus Local . . :: : Issues at Slass Sleeting. PENDLETON. Or.. April 30. (Special.) A rria"5S meeting of the citizens was held at vae Court House last night for the p?rose ;o discussing the proposed amend ments" 'to the city charter, but nothing was accomplished further than the ap pointment of a tax-payers' committee of three from eacli of .the four wards, to confer and-co-operate with the Mayor and the Coiflicil in framing up the amend ments and again submitting .them to the people. The amendments asked for by the Coun cil" axe as follows: To empower the Council to make a tax levy of 9 mills for general purposes, instead of 7. as at pres ent; to authorise the expenditure of not to exceed tl"00 at any one time to relievo distress in other places: to raise the per centage of signers necessary to' defeat a proposed street improvement from 66 2-3 to SO per cent' ot the frontage along the street' to be irrlproved, and to authorize -the issuance of bonds to refund warrants issued and bonds soon to become due; to further extend and strengthen the levee, to, provide a fund for the pavement of street intersections, to extend the sewer system, to construct a City Hall and Jail and to provide a gravity water system. making in alt. a total of 272.000. It Is not proposed, however, to-issue all these at once, as it will probably be several years before the gravity system isdemanded. After the amendments have been agreed upon by the Council and the tax-payers' committee, they will be submitted to a vote of . the people at an election, which will probably be held in July.
