The graduating cxcrchiM of the Union
High School took place at Wrights' hall
last Friday evening, and was nn occasion
of great interest to the patrons ofthe school
as well as the public generally. The grad
uating pupils were MNs Lois Stewart. Mis.i
Hcttic Dobbins, Miss Mamie Hukrr, Miss
Mary Goodall. Miss Kittic Miller, Mies
May Miller and Willie Wright. The grad
uates acquitted thcinelves creditably and
appeared deserving of the honor eonfered
upon them. The stage was nicely arranged.
The music and literary exercises, through
out, were highly appreciated by the large
audience. At the close, Prof. Ifackctt ad
dressed the class, and in a few well chosen
words awarded the diplomas.
On Saturday evening the pupils of the
various dcpatircnts of the school, the
teachers, and patron generally, assembled
at the hall for the purpose of having a jtoml
sociable time, and succeeded admirably.
A sumptuous supper was spread, and with
speeches by the little folks, conversation
vocal and instrumental music the evening
was wiled inot pleasantly away.
We have bad a most excellent corps of
teachers this winter, and the school has
been a success in every respect. The pupils
have made rapid advancement and their
parents are gratified at the result. This
being the case, it is to be hoped that the
present teachers will be retained, if possible,
or others canuiilly as good, secured for the
next term.

A dispatch from Philadelphia, April 10,
published in New York, gives this:
The Northern Pacific party here believe
the end of the long negotiations with the
Union Pacific over the Oregon Navigation
case Is coming to a head. A linn lease nt
I per cent, is now icgardcd as likely to be
brought about sjieedily, although the lead
er of the Philadelphia interest will not ad
mit that even this dividend will be guar
anteed. Philadelphia has sold the Orcgons
for a few days, hut is no v disposed to buy
tho Pacifies A further decline in Trans
continental is looked for to compensate for
the shrinkage of the Oregon Navigation
assets.
A New York evening paper, in regard to
the above, says : The talk of the street to
day is about Prcident Adams' unofficial
notice to the Oregon Navigation Company
that he can no longer guarantee the pay
ment of (i per cent, on tho stock of that
company. It is understood that he is will
ing to pay a dividend on the stock at the
rate of ;t per cent, per annum. Uegarding
this a reporter called to see Henry Villard,
but was told that he would not be at his
office for several days. There is a rumor
that he has gone to Poston to confer with
President Adams, of the Union Pacific. As
to the Oregon Navigation Company it has,
so fur as reported, made a deficit of about
$15,000 this year, but this is only up to the
first of March. This loss Is caused by com
petition of the Oregon iV Washington Ter
ritory, which traverses rich wheat regions.
The voluntary obligation of the Union Pa
cific amounts to about Jf.10,000 n month.
The Spokane & Palousc branch ofthe North
ern Pacific Is also a source of competition
to the Oregon Navigation, and tho result
has been the reduction of rates as well as a
division of the business. There area num
ber of factions ,in all the boards of the vari
ous railroads affected !.y the guarantee,
and it is difficult to say how the matter will
terminate. Mr. Uobcrt Harris, of the
Northern Pacific, was seen, though he re
fused to say anything on the subject. It is
later reported that the Union Pacific will
abandon its lease of the Oregon Navigation
on July 1, unless the Hunt system is turned
over to the Oregon Navigation Company.
It would seem from the above that the
O. li.ifcN. Co. are beginning to reap the
reward of their high-handed methods, and
disregard of fhe people's interests. Mr.
Hunt, manager of the O. fc W. T.,has noth
ing to do, and will have nothing to do, with
the O. It. it N. Co. If the Union Pacific
should abandon its lease of the O. K. it N.
line, and join with the Hunt sustem, mak
ing connection at Huntington, it is very
easy to realize what tho result would be.
The O. It. fc Co's line would not pay ex
penses between Pendleton and Huntington.
Some startling raihoad developments may
be expected in a short time.
.Scenery of I'licct Sound.
The scenery of Pugct Sound, that great
inland arm of tho sea in tho extreme north
west corner of the United States, is becom
ing more famous for its beauty yearly, as
the number of tourists through that region
increases, Placid water, verdant vales,
timbered mountains and snow-crowned
pcakK combine to make landscapes of mar
velous beauty. That body of water is also of
special interest 10 our people because of the
selection of a silo there for a huge navy
yard for bettor defence of our country on
the Pacific coast. One of tho grandest
views in that region is that of Mount Ma
ker, as seen across the still waters of Adnii
rality inlet, as the main arm of the sound
is called. This is the subject of a beautiful
tinted engraving, 17x22 Inches in size, issu
ed as a supplement to the April number of
The West Shore. Magus! ne. The number nlso
contains many engravings of Port Town
send and Olympia, two growing cities on
the sound, including the new hotel in pro
gress of erection in tho latter place. Full
