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."

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.
