mouth Normal Presents School .
With Memorial Tablet.
A dispatch from Monmouth in
yesterday's Oregonian says :
"A large marble slab has been pre
sented by the June, '08, class to the
Oregon State Normal School. The
slab is 9x2 feet and has carved upon
it the name of the school and date of
Its founding, with also the date of the
June class. .It is placed in a niche in
the tower, 40 feet above ground, and
is not only an ornament to the build
ing but a memorial of the large
graduating class that erected it.
"The 1908 class has been notable in
the history of the school for its enter
prise and spirit, and it has further
shown its originality in this last
official act of Its school life. 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 average salary re
ceived by the 20 or more who have
reported and not Including principals,
is $60 per month."

Closing Week of Mission.
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.

CHEESES
wise tXlks by u. s. LOUOHARYS'
OFFICE BOY
Yesterday a motherly looking lady
came into the store and asked the
main nnueeza If there reallv was such
a kid around the store as the one that
looked like me. She said she bad
often seen boys with faces that resem
bled mine, but she couldn't recall ever
having one on her calling list that
had such an open countenance as I
had. Honest, I had to lust grin right
out loud and dodge under one of the
counters that have our imported
cheeses on it. You know we carry
every kind of good Imported cheese
that's wanted and some of them are
"just the cheese," you bet A nice
thing about it is you don't have to
make an ocean voyage to get them.
If you want a nice' brick of Llm
burger, you come right straight to us
and you can got it. We have a new
lot of Tillamook Twins and Young
American. I am getting $4 a week
now and I am going to get a 60 cent
raise the first of the month. I like
Club cheese better than any kind.
What's your choice?
