HE PROSECUTED
Advertising men of Portland plan
to hit fake advertisers. All forms of
fraud perpetrated through the medi
um of ads. whether In the press, on
billboards or In circular, will be ta
ken up for careful sudy by a com
mittee Just named by the Ad Club,
wh'ch Intends to eliminate the fake
and deception. The members of the
committee, named this morning, are:
F. H. Mnreland, W. . Crlssey, George
H. Hyland. George H. Davis and
George Robertson.
The Telegram exposed one of the
most notorious townslte transactions
inflict"d upon the local public for
ynrs, and drove the perpetrators out
of the community, but no officials or
duly commissioned body took cognis
ance of the case and the nun guiliy
were permitted to go without any
punishment. Quack medical adver
tisements have been referred to often,
as palpably fraudulent and mislead
ing. Many other lines have develop
ed, yet there Is not a case of convic
tion, except where the federal postal
laws have been violated.
The advertising men propose to
quicken public discernment of fraud,
and to aid in bringing the malefac
tors who work in this direction to
Justice.
Two other committees have been
named, P. II. Whitfield, C. B. Merrick
and Captain Paul Lelmers, are the
committee on commission form of
government. D. O. Lively, Fred Lock
ley and Phil S. Bates have been cho
sen a' committee on postal affairs, to
Jnfjlre into tho controversy between
magazines and periodicals and
the pm3Bler-Benera'. over rates.

Twenty-Two Members In Class
Commencement Exercises to be
Held Tonight.
With the auditorium of the Metho
dist church crowded, the class of
1911 of the Pendleton high school
gave their class day exercises last
n;ght and the program was interest
ing and entertaining in the extreme.
After the twenty-two members of the
class had marched up the aisles to
the processional played by Mrs. A. J.
Owen, and had taken their seats,
Charles Milne, president of the class,
arose and bade the audience welcom
to the exercises which marked the
close of a class h'story.
He was followed by Richard De
vine In an address to the Juniors. Mr.
Devine made the members of the next
senior class aware of the responsi
bilities and obligations they were as
suming and gave them good counsel
as to how they should conduct them
selves. Chester Fee responded for
the juniors, thanking the upperclass
men for their advice and promls'ng
that the conduct of his classmate
would not fall below the standard set
by their predecessors.
In an oration entitled, "Advance of
Education.' Clem McCoy traced the
progress of instruction since its or
igin, pointing out its different trend
in different continents and casting
into trie future to show the goal to
which the present tendency Is mak
ing. Blanche Badley delivered the
only oration of the evening, her sub
ject being, "Lincoln, the Emancipa
tor." in which she paid a beautiful
tribute to the greatest of Amerxan
martyrs.
History, Prophesy. Will.
The h'story of the class 'of 1911
was rapidly sketched by Arthur Jor
day, In which the hopes, the fears,
the trials the triumphs and the many
vicissitudes of their four years' life
In the high school were recounted.
Emma Richardson acted as the
prophet and told of the future ca
reers of her classmates. Her predic
tions brought much amusement to
both class and audience.
Mollie McDill was the class poet,
and, like Homer of old, she recited
the deeds of her fellow graduates in
rhyme.
To Nellie Anibal fell the task of
drawing up the last will and testa
ment of her class and the document
was a splendid one. In it all of the
qualities of Individual members which
have gone to assist in making the
class of 1911 transcendent over all iU
predecessors were bequeathed to
members of the junior class and the
apportioning and distributing of these
blessing showed the maker of the will
to be wise and judicious beyond
measure. Full copies of the will and
the prophesy will be printed in this
paper.
The final address of the evening
was made by President Charles Milne
in which he expressed the apprecia
tion of the class for the benefits
which had been received from the
public through the medium of the
schools.
During the evening several splen
did selections were given by the girls'
j P1 l-lu0 and vocal solos wer r?n-
dcrcd by Mrs. Thomas Vaushau und
