Louis Pearson ft merchant Tailor Heppner, Oregon FIRST NATIONAL BANK HEPPNER, OREGON Established in 1887 Last Day of School. The closing of the school in the Mahoney neighborhood on last Friday afternoon was a very notable event in the history of that well known and popular district. It is a rather small school, so far as scholars is concerned, but lack of quantity is fully made up in quality, and judging from the closing exhibi tion, it is at the present time almost entirely a female institution, there being present but one lonely little boy. Put it is reported that he was not in the least ashamed of being the only boy there, and did his part bravely and well. Promptly at 2:30 the program of readiu', 1 recitiu' and playin' and singin' begun, with Teacher Etta Minor in charge and wielding the rod, and the roll call noted the following present: Maude H agaman, Julia Hart, Rosa Mar shall, dussie Mcintosh, Ada Minor, Mattie Thornton, Emeline .Sherman, Anna A vers, Mish Valentine, Henrietta Goldstone, Charlotte Goodman, Ag.Ltie i.iown; juu naiiocu, Jessie Thomson. Myrtie May Amos, Marv b arnsworth and Daisy Pell All of these were on the program and per tor tned to the very great amusement 01 1 ne numerous visitors. I lie teacher says she is very proud of her school and the way they deported them selves on this closing occasion, and the guests were greatly amused and highly editied. 1 he above is a brief description of the rather novel party given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Mahoney on last Friday afternoon, the idea being to call back theold schooldays and go through with some of the well remembered scenos of tlieclosing day at the time theabove mentioned, as well ns all the invited auests. were younger than most of them arenow. and it proved a very enjoyable affair. Sorry we cannot give more space to a detailed description of the part per- iorinea ny eacn nniivii un . for t II UN KIT STOHEKS. The idea of giving a play, in which the graduating claBS of the High 1 School were to be the chief actors, was some what new to the people of this little city, but it goes without saying that the very large and attentiveaudience at the opera house last Friday evening was well pleased with tbe idea, although it was somewhat novel. The presentation of Tennyson's "The Princess," by the graduates, assisted by uiuer meuiuers 01 me mgn SCllOOl, was very creiitable, and showed much pa tience and pai staking labor in its prep aration. Heretofore, each of the grad uating class has been called upon to pre pare a somewhat elaborate and exten sive oration, and turn by turn they stood before tbe audience and delivered their carefully prepared lines, and at times the program was verv lencrthv and not always satisfaotory, even to the par ticipants themselves. This is a fact Mat lias been recognized in many other schools, so it is becoming more common to present, as was done Fiidav evening. some well chosen play that will bring oui me raieni or me class and give this in place of the orations, and the change appears 10 oe a good one. The opera house was packed to over I....: 1 u i . . uuwiuK auu me uesi 01 attention was given to each part. The characters were all eleeantly costumed, the princi pal ones being supplied with costumes from Portland. Hazel Hale, as Princess Ida ; Ruth F. Brown, as Lady Ssvche; Josephine Richardson as Ladv Blsnche ; Leta M. Humphreys as Melissa, daughter of Lady Blanche; Elizabeth Slocum as Violet, a pupil, were the leading female characters of the play and had the prin cipal acting on that side, while Ray Rogers, the Prince, Leander Pavid, as Cyril, and Harold Cohn as Florian, friends of the Prince, made up the prin cipal characters for the male portion. these had the work of the plav. but Absolutely Pure Tim only kaksstg powder made from Royal Crspe Cream of Tartar H0AL0M,N3 LIME PHOSPHATE Henry Stowers, of Lexington, Ore., were ably assisted by other members of ageu aDout so, passed out peacefully at his home, on Thursday, May 25, after a brief illness. Although the very best care, assist ance and medical aid was accorded to him, the grim reaper, who is no respect er o' persons, claimed our friend, and his soul took its departure fur the bright er realms of tbe astral sphere. Mr. Stowers was born in the East V hen a boy he crossed the plains with his parent?, and they settled in California, engaging in agricultural pur suits for some years. In 1879 Mr. Stowers left California and travelled by team and wagon, to Wash ington, settling in the neighborhood ot Spokane, taking up farming as his work. in juiy lyuz jir. Stowers came to Morrow county, bought a quarter sec tion of land, which be farmed, and also engaged in stock raising on a smal the High School, and the cast was com pleted by the parts taken by Marshall Phelps as Ipsa, a nobleman; Ralph Kenton as Guma, king, and father of Ida; and a number of young ladies mak ing up the pupils of the female university. It is not our purpose tn enter into the role of critic, and we will notdoso.full realizing that we are no particular au thority along these lines, but will say that each of the pupils did their part well. Many of them had never befote appeared on the stage find the work was new to them, hut thev bad their lines well and certainly sustained their char acters in a manner creditable to them selves and their teachers. The plHy was interspersed with ap propriate singing, and was followed by an excellent address to the graduates by Supt. Notson, and the presentation of diplemas. To tbe class of 1911, the Gazette ex tends congratulations in their successful irraduation from our High School, and wishes for them continued success as they each one puisue their studies Our friend was kind-hearted, affable other schools.

You will have to guess who manv of these are, no doubt, as the maiden names are given. helping hand to those in need While Mr. Stowers, during his earth- nie, naa not become conscious of his divine birthright, the Christ within his own heart, it is intuitively certain, this soul, now free from all earthly in teguments, will rind its Saviour and the words of our blessed Master: "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," will become a reality to this soul. I Fhall not think even now, that our friend is annihilated; be is still with as in spirit. Ii our Father stoops to trive to the rosebush whose withered blossom s fbat upon the breeze, the sweet assurance of a renewal ot hie during springtime, will He withhold the hopes of immortality of our friend, who has just past the bleak and dark valley of death? If matter, mute, silent, apparently life ess, though changed in the laboratory of Nature into millions of different forms can never die, will the spiiit of oar de parted brother suffer anni hilation after it has paid a brief visit to its earthly in tegument, the physical body? Immortality will be the goal and des tiny of every soul ! Our friend, too, will find his Saviour, after eons of journeying from spheres to spheres, according to the God ordained plan of evolution, will return to the bosom of Omnipotence, whence it came. His life is beyond the reach of death or change, Not ended but begun. Oh. noble soul, Ob, gentle heart, adeau and farewell. To those mho have so kindly assisted me during the illness of Mr. Stowers, and to those who have paid their last resnects to Mr. Stowers, I wish to ex tend. in reoogniton of their Kind services my heartfelt and sincere thanks.
