At Medfo.nl this fellng waa very pronounced, but at Omnia Paen It wn not m unanlmoue although h feelmg there waa verj' general, almoat a much a6 a It was up at Medford While In (hat awitilon I visited the liaUihery owned by Mr. R. D. Hume on the upper watera of the stream and found Mr. J. W. Berrian, SuperinUn dent hi charge, at work taking Steel hewd etrtfS. He had aucceeded in get- tin0; 0O,00 of ifhla variety of eggs and expected o get amc(iher 100,000 btfore lhe un wtig over. Since my visit to thla board lawt July, I found that Mr. Hume had supplied it with 66 lurge rearing tanks. In which they were feeding and caring for $00,000 young Chinook salmon. He had also furnish ed tha plant wlfh a current water wheel whhih was furnishing them with an albundaMt supply of water and had done away with their steam pumping plant wWdh waa quite an expenilvt affair. May the lfth I visited the situation on the river' where the 0ridm Drift Mining 'imipany contemplate putting In a dam for the purpoet of develop Imt (.deotrle nower , Tills dam la to be 20 fc-t high and in to le slu&ti-d on the river about three ni ;ne-twilf mllca above J rants l'ass. ' I have noti fied them relative to thv matter of providing a suitable fish way am have supplied mho with the netiiry plana for the cimlru'llm of the aame. Tin diun at Orants Iaa and iwmil by the Light and Water Com pany, t hIho vlalted and found nothing had been done, as yet, tovrard repaJr- ing the breaks thait had ocrured to U lant winter. Attuttted o It U at pres ent. It la no olmtruetlon fish life. May he 17th I vlMted the dam across the "Coot Fork nf the Willam ette Hlver, which Is maintained there by Mr, J. H. rarshall. Proprietor of the (luttara drove Holler Mills, and Is situated bout one-half itkle above the town of Cottage Grove. This dam has been In the river for the past two or three years, and no fish way has ever been provided, I have taken the mat ter up wlfh Mr. ParshaH and he has aured me that as soon as the water will permit of one being put In he will comply wtth the law fcully In that re spect. May the JInd I was called .to the Sandy lUver aguln, to Investigate rela- live to the matter of mill-men blowing out boulder with dynamite so that roltriMd ties that rhey run down the river would not coHetst and Jam. This ultuaUon we were confronted wtrtt hist year and It did us a Considerable dam age, for It was a time when safmon were amending the srm for spawn ing purposes. This year Mr. C. Mln- slngcr, the mill man who has full rhurxv of the work, has assured mi that he would get right at he work and get the lwu1dr all out InwUle of a couple of weeks time, which done as promised, should not Interfere with our wwk there Hits year very materially. May the 2th I vlelted' ithe Yao.ulna Bay district looking for a ituw.ion where saluum cultural work oinild be successfully carried on. '. The bay fed principally by Yutulna Hlver and Big Blk River, wlilch fork 'immediate ly above the ilttle town" of K!k flty, FVom examinations made I wil rndea vor to work on the Big ESk River this coming urason Just In at the head of tide water, If the noceosary lights and priveleires can be secured. A situation, as this offers, la not generally a very deslreable cne, h ' small, and from Information derive.!, I am Inclined 4 feel that we mlglvt get In there and get a good supply of vgg and st out with our racks before the fall freshets set in. I examined this Elk River fork thoroughly for a distance of ten miles above'' - i n 1 uld And nuthing more desirable for our work tfhan Uie tide water situation. It Is entirely a bed rock stream, vry nar row, being conOned between very steep banks. Before settling on any thing definitely, I will examine there two streams higher up, but In order to handle the Chinook variety of j ilm.in I am Inclined to be'ieee -hat It would not do for us to trot lo.i high up en small streams wioh ai tlu ure.

A Je-wture fwn the usual custom was rntle In '.hat fhe tnemtiers of Khe clu-ss did not deliver orations and e ays, which to many was a disappoint ment. In her salutatory on " Hero Ism" Miss Alice O'Connor dwelt In pleasing strain on 'the noble of the earth, and paid the highest tribute to the heroism displayed " within four walls. In the privacy of the home," The valedictorian, Oney O.

Among the many good things said by President Campbell are these: " Education Is truly successful only as it fits the student to participate In the activities of the age. The stupendous events of recent history are developing a class of men and women of higher type and greater capabili ties than ever lived before. Such places of learning as the success ful high school of this city are an absolute necessity for the young peo ple who are not yet old enough to be sect away from their homes to the colleges. To Insure the best leaders for the Nation, the best schools must be available to boys ana girls ot all classes, the poor wejj as the rich."

On behalf of the loard. Chairman J. E. Higins then presented the diplomas to the gradu ates., Flowers were tabooed for this time, but many handsome bouquets were presented with hearty congratulations after the dismissal. Astoria may wen feel proud of the efficiency of her schools, w hich are what the teachers make them, and the teachers have reason to be proud of the results of their labors, as each year a larra ctajn of graduates go forth from their oare. Many changes will probably take place before another term of sch!l odcim.
