Clutm Program.
: The class in oratory, which recent
ly inaugurated the system of having
frequent class programs in the high
school gymnasium, had their second
program Monday morning. The pro
gram was a big success. The many
unique and interesting parts of the
entertainment went far too fast for
the fun-loving seniors. The program
consisted 'of:

Hoy's Hand Heard.
One of the most successful Wed
nesday morning programs which has
been given this semester delighted
the students and several townspeople
last Wednesday in the high school
gymnasium. The boys' band proved
the biggest attraction of the morning
with its 25-plece organization. Two
j well-rendered. selections were played
as an opening exercise. This was

Music Clans' Popular.
Miss Anderson, instructor of the
music department, played several
well-known grand opera selections on
the school Vlctrola for the music class
Tuesday, the object being to find out
which of the compositions was the
most popular with the' students.
Among the selections were "Barca
rolle," "Tales from Hoffman;" "Men
delssohn's Spring Song;" "Mlnuete,"
"Beethoven; "Serenade," Shubert;
"Intermezzo" from "Cavallerla Rus-
ticana." The "Barcarolle" from
"Tales from Hoffman" proved to be
the best liked, although Shubert's
"Mlnuete" was a close second. ' The
regular class In music now numbers
35 members, and under the able lead
ership of Miss Anderson the class can
now render several chorus composi
tions in commendable style. A
fourth of a credit is given for a
semester's work in music. ' A boys'
and girls' glee club is also a part of
the school's musical organization, al
though as an outside activity.

'having spent a part of the summer
in the park doing geological research
work. About fifty beautiful slides

cured from the Great Northern rail
way, for the school stereopticon ma
chine, for the talk. The program
was closed by two heartily encored
selections from the boys' band.

The first state highway work,
when money from the $15,000,000
bond issue becomes available in July,
will be in northern California, ac
cording to the Dunsmuir News. This
assurance has been given Robert O.
Bonnell, secretary-manager of the
Northern California Counties Asso-1
elation, by Highway Commissioner
Charles F. Stern.
The commission realizes, Stern
says, that highways are more vitally
needed in northern California than
In other sections of the state, and
work will be started at the earliest
possible moment. But two and one
third per cent of the work promised
in Division 2. comprising northern
California, has been completed.
The commission plans to complete
the main highway north and south
at once. The board of control has
agreed to turn over $3,000,000 in
April, and Division Engineer T. A.
Bedford of Dunsmuir has been au
thorized to let contracts for building
the link from Sims to the Shasta
Siskiyou county line as soon as rights
of way have been secured. The
Shasta County Promotion and Devel
opment Association is now busy se
curing deeds from the property own
ers along the route, and It is believed
that everything will be ready to be
gin work on the road the first of
April.
The road from Redding to Weav
erville will be started in July, and
the highway commission has prom
ised to construct a road from Weav
ervllle to the Humboldt county line
under the new bond issue, giving
northern California a direct outlet
to the sea. Work on the Red Bluff
Susanvllle and the Redding-Alturas
laterals will also be resumed in July.
: It has been decided that should the
special election of March 19 result
favorably to the Chautauqua, the
new building will be constructed
'.at once and thr.t, so far as
possible, the labor and material i
should be procured locally so that the
money will do the most good to our
own people. ,
The new building will be 160 feet
in diameter; will be built to a height
of twelve feet of reinforced concrete,
with roof similar to the present build
ing but much better built and fin
ished. A stage will be built as an
annex on the lower side, with a sixty-
foot opening and depth of thirty feet.
It is planned to have dressing
rooms and ticket office under the
stage, with two entrances to main
entrance at rear of building, with sev
