The cus tom of each graduating class leaving a present to the institution has been in vogue for the past seven or eight years and the rule followed heretofore has been to give a picture or piece of statuary for the assembly hail or library. "This class will be widely repre sented in the schools of the state the coming year, its members, who have so far ' reported, ' teaching in the followingschools: Burns, Cove, La Grande, Condon, Mitchell, Wasco, The Dalles, Mount Hood, Seaside, Tillamook, Sheridan, Newberg, Salem, Albany, Eugene,' Springfield and Grants Pass.

The Catholic Mission In the Wood man Hall will be closed Sunday after noon, September 6, at 3 :30 o'clock instead of at 7:30 as was at first announced. The subject of the clos ing lecture will be "The Catholic Church and Its Doctrines." Non Catholics will have an excellent oppor tunity on this occasion to get from an autbentio source a good general idea of the holdings of the Catholic faith. The Fathers who are giving the mis sion desire to express their sincere Gratitude to the people of Dallas for the kindly treatment that has been accorded them during their stay in this city. An active effort is under way to have the Sisters' hospital founded in Dallas, a movement, which if carried out, will mean much to the city and surrounding country. The greatest difficulty may be in getting the sisters to take charge of the new institution. 0 win or to the fact that there is so great a demand for their services elsewhere. August Library Report.
