AN EXCELLENT PAPKK.
The "History or th Ninth Grade" of Oar
High School, by the Class HUtorian, Or
Ville Jones.
On last Friday, the" dosing day of the
"Ninth Grade's" work for 1897, a class
pionio was given up in tbe Joues grovs,
near Sodavil'e, participated in by the
teacher, Miss Anna J. Baleiger, and
pupils. On this occasion the Gazette's
worthy young friend, Orville Jones, read
a very creditable paper on the history
of the class.
It appears under tbe caption, "His
tory of the Niutb Grade,'' and is as fol
lows: The first authen'ic date iu the his
tory of the olass as ao orgauized body
was the birthday of the father of our
country, the 22 i day of February, 1897.
Iu the forenoon of that day it was or
ganized into a olass by our esteemed
teacher, Mis Anna J. Bnlaiger, assist
ant prinoipal of the Heppner Hivh
School.
The board of ofBoers consisted of the
following: Presideut, Mr. Elbert Stan
tou; vioe-presideut, Miss Jenuie Bar
tholomew; secretary, Miss Lula Hager;
treasurer, Mr. Burton Peck. Also a
committee on arrangement consisting of
Mr. Wayne He ward, Misses Emma
Farmsworth, Elsie Ayers and Jenuie
Kirk was appointed. A few weeks later
the presideut being called iff the field of
aotion for the season, we wereoompelled
to eleot a new one. Mr. Lawrenoe Pal
mer was eleoted and at once took bis
seat. The olass also elected your hum
ble servant to the position of Historian
of the class.
The olass chose pink and oream as its
oolors, Bud the wild rose as its class
floer. The very appropriate motto,
"Press forward; he oonquers who will,"
was adopted by the class.
At tbe orgaoizatiou of our array we
were thirty-six- in number with Miss
Balsiger as our general. We bravely
burled ourselves against Education's
o ittie-frouc. rne opposing foroe was
generated by Gen's Arithmetic, Gram
mar, History, Physiology and Orthog
raphy, and also by Colonels Rhetorical
Exercise, Current Events and Morals
and Manners. The battle was hot and
fierce from begiuuing to end.
Viotory seemed to rest first on one
side aud then on the other, but a olose
observer of our struggles could see that
we were gaining ground at every engage
meot with the enemy.
Tbus we fought for six months with
our general, Miss Balsiger, at tbe front
obeenng us on bv her cheerfulness
bravery aod fortitude. At this time we
bad a desperate engagement with tbe
enemy nuuer Gen. Physiology, aod after
ten assualts we oame off victorious, kill-
lug tbe general and routing his army
while no one ou our side was injured bad
euougb to cause them to fall to the rear.
reeling that we did not wish to give
up tbe struggle with only one get
slaiu, our valiant general again taking
commuud led us on a two months'
campaign, our army at this time con
sisting of thirty-two members, the others
being compelled to leave as their leave
of abhence bad expired. Shortly after
the two months' campaign bad com
menoed our president and captain, Mr,
T 11 , , . ...
iawrenee rainier, oeiug OftlleJ away
from tbe Gel.l of action, we elooted Misa
Emma Furcrsworth iu his stead.
I might as well state here (but our
olass is running ou tbe latest principles,
that is, the young ladies' right of suf
frage aod of holding olli :e.
Mr. Burton Peck, our treasurer retir
ing, we eleoted Miss Gertrude Bishop to
that poftitiou. SVe alio elected at thi
lime Miss GalxigHr as sergeant-nt-arms
During the first mouth and tbe for
part of tbe last month a few dropped
out, so that the l.iht engngemeuts with
Gen's. History, Grammar, Arithmetic and
Orthography wpre fought with littl
nanrirul of twenty seven perseverant
fighters. We came off bearing th
Crown of viotory in eaoh engagement
thus proving the truth of our grand and
noble motto, "Press forward; he 000
qners who will."

PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS.
Snort Still on Drck with a Few Assorted
lda"-The Baees.
It is a well known fact that Heppner
baa a oow ordinance. Last year it was
entoroed to tbe extent that eows were
kept op from 6 p. m to 6 a. m., but al
lowed to run at large io the daytime.
Cows cannot do muoh damage during
the day, but at night the ravenous
beasts will eat anything from a front
yard to a mowing-maahiue.
The town marshal was asked a few
days ago about the oow business, and
the interrogator was informed that tbe
livery stables would not allow their
yards to bensed as "pounds," and that
the town would not oonstruct a city pen
for stray eows.
The town should at least have cows
kept up at night, and to this end should
ereot a oorral on the city property.
This oow ordinance should be enforced
io a practical mauuor.
It may be a nice thing to have a oow
that oao furnish riob milk for the family.
We commend tbe plan. It is nioe to
have the larder full of delicacies even
if tbe sustenance gained therefrom oan
be traced back to a telegraph pole, a
front gate, a garden or a shade tree.
Talk about trained pigsl Why, Hepp
nor has cows that can climb a telephone
pole, piok a Yale look or hear the weary
man of the bouse turn over in bis sleep.
These things are all very nioe for tbe
owner of cows, but its rough 00 the
ther fellow.
People who own oowg ought to keep
them in the pasture during the daytime
and iu a stable at night. It is worse
than cruel to turn oows out on the com
mons where there is short feed and
allow the emaoiated fiends to prey up
on the neighbors. We know (bat some
mighty good people do it but it's
wrong Id principle as it is in law.
The great Oregon sprinter, I Don't
Know, owned by Frank Reed, of North
Yakima, Wash., will be at the Anncouda
and Butte meetings, says the Rural
Spirit. He was one of tbe fas'est horses
n tbe West up to three-quarters of a
mile, but as be has Dot raced for two
years, having been ruled off the Bay
Dietnot traok with his former owner,
it is nf coarse a question of oonjeoture
whether be will be up to bis old form
this year. He bas recently been rein
stated through tbe kindness of President
rbomHB Williams of the California
Jockey Club, aud should be be ad right
he will make all the sunntors "tm-cau. '
Tbe "scrap" at the opera house next
Monday night will be interesting. It
will be a eoientifio bout between men
who have bad experience iu tbe ring.
Nothing immoral or indecent will be
permitted and ladies cm attend with
propriety.
