leen Lawler made one of the hits of
her musical experience when she sang
the exquisite Irish song, "Believe Me,
If All Those Endearing Young
Charms," and when she began sing
ing "Klllarney" as an encore, there
arose a round of applause which
shook the armory. At the close of
this number she was compelled to
glbo a double encore. Her sonds
were sympathetically rendered and
her time and finish are pleasing for
such a young soprano."

THIRTY-THREE PASSED EIGHTH GRADE
After grading all the papers of the
pupils who have lately taken the
eighth grade examinations In Uma
tilla county It has" been found that
out of the 100 applicants for diplo
mas only about 33 passed. A num
ber of the pupils In the district at
Milton were failed because the
grades were below the required aver
age. It has been found since the exami
ners completed tneir work that a
number of the pupils from Milton
district are probably entitled to a
parsing grade. Several were mark
ed "no paper" In history and other
wise had excellent papers and were
tailed for that reason. It has Just
been learned that the history papors
had been mislaid by the examiners at
Milton and that they could not be
found for some time. They were lo
cated after . the examiners had com
pleted tho work of grading and for
warded to the county school superin
tendent's office.
Superintendent Welles has not yet
ascertained Just what disposition will
be made of the case, but Intends to
see' that the pupils who were unjustly
failed receive fair treatment.

ed all the papers was composed of
Mrs. Frank K. Welles, Mrs. C. P.

REMODELING THE
FAIR PAVILION
(i
SHEEP RULES"
L
Under the Section Guaran
teeing to Each State the
Necessary Police Laws.
THIS IS THE OPINION
OF GENERAL CRAWFORD.
To Whom the State Slicrp Com initios
Submitted Its Regulations for the
Protection of Oregon Sheep Against
Infection by Flocks From Other
States Crawford Makes Clear the
Distinction Between a Protective
Measure and One Intended to Raise
a Revenue By.
That the rules recently made by
the board of sheep commissioners axe
constitutional is the opinion of Attor
ney General Crawford.
In accordance with a proclamation
of the governor declaring that a quar
antine exists on sheep brought 1st
from the states of Idaho, Washlngtoa
and California, and directing the com
mission to make such rules as they
should deem expedient, certain re
quirements were made by the board.
The rules were forwarded to the at
torney general and Dan P. Smytbe.
secretary of the board, this moraine
received a letter from the attorney
general In which he said that in hist
opinion the rules were not in confl'et
with either the state or federal consti
tution or void for any other reason.
He said that he found, on the con
trary, that states are authorized under
their police powers to make and en
force such laws as will protect the
health and property of their citizens.
So long as the law is within the pro
visions of the police power there coals? '
be no question as to the validity. Bex
if It govs beyond that e any msserft '
extent, so as to become a revenue
measure, then It would be judged by
the rules relating to taxation. So fat-
as he has perused the law, the atlir-
ney general says that the new law is
not a revenue measure, but Is purely a
police regulation and there can be ne
objection to it on constitutional
grounds.
It is expected that a decision wO
be had on the law In the near future,
as the question will undoubtedly be
taken into the supreme court by some
of the outside sheepmen who wish te
graze on Oregon ranges without re
strictions. INDICTMENTS PROMISED. !
Federal Grand Jury May Name 19
Members of Furniture Trust.
There Is reason to believe that the
federal grand Jury has voted an In
dictment against more than ISO mem
bers of the furniture trust through
out the states of Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and California, says the
Portland Telegram.
The names of the defendants are
not obtainable, for the Indictment
has not been returned into court. It
It is not likely that the return will be
made for several days, owing to the
size of the Indictment, and the fact
that much time will be necessary for
Its preparation.
In scope and the number of per
sons Involved, the Oregon furniture
trust case gives promise of being one
of the most colossal aggregations ct
defendants ever brought under the
ban of the law by one swoop of a
grand jury, and its importance will
be felt over the whole northwest.
It U not probable that anything;
definite regarding the action of the
grand, Jury wiit be made public far
several days or until the usual course
of red tape has been followed. The
strictest secrecy Is being observed by
United States Attorney Bristol ana.
Assistant James Cole.
