Among them are the winning of baseball and basket ball pennants and cup at the track meet. With the beginning of the new year, 1930, the achool hopes to es tablish new and better records and t0 bring more honom to the Maupln community.

GEOMETRY CLASS COMPLETES COURSE OF STUDY Although the local rchool semester is two weeks shorter than that of cities having a ten months' year, the geometry class has completed the state course of study for the half year. They arc devoting the week to review and to the solving of original problems, preparatory to next week's examinations, . SOME HOLIDAY EXPERIENCES The activities of students during the holidays were varied, but wcrt equally apportioned to work and play. During vacation Orville, one of our best mechanic:, assisted his brother, Cyril, in his chicken project. The school still maintains its inter est and regard for Cyril. Ch.'iric worked with and fed h.. fathecY rheep in Dufur. Bo worked at Shattuck's store while Glady,i was employed in wash ing dishes and cooking at the Rain bow restaurant. Many girls busied themselves with household duties and contributed to the holidays in countless ways.

They are educational and highly interesting. The Scientific American and Literary Digest are used in class reports. From the Scientific American we note an article on the "Cord Front Drive" car which made new records on a speedway. This car is put out by Auburn company, and is especially adapted to speedways, because it doesn't ekld around corners at top speed. . ' Another story appearing to the mechanical interests of the student tells of a Diesel airplane motor built by the Packard company. It is supposed to bo the coming engine for 1940.

Below we publish the conclusion of the en gineer, the other part of his decision being taken up with a statement of the history of that system while - operated by the Irrigation company. ; engineer Lupers conclusions io. ( lov . m. . , .. . . . . I Nevember 30, 1928, with auch dili genre as to entitle it to an extension of time within which to perfect its water rights? The testimony is rather indefinite aa to the expenditures which have been made by the company within the five year period for construction work, but Mr. Hickey, president of the company, and who was in charge of the work done in preparation to building a dam for storing water at Clear Lake, testified that in 1924 a crew consisting of four or five men were employed for a period less than a week. In 1928 nine or ten men were employed for a period of thirty-three days In all about forty days within the five year prr- iod were spent in actual construc tion work.

During the years of 1926 ' minutes long, according to a survey and 1927 H appears no actual con- 0f homcmaker'a time just made by struction work was done. At the time the Circuit Court decree was entered November 30, 1923, the company had sold in the neighbor- hood of 2200 acre of water, during the succeeding five years but 48 acres were sold. The testimony shows that the company has failed to deliver the water which it has sold, none of the water users who testified having received anywhere near what they were entitled to and Mr. Hedin, the manager of the com pany, on cross examination admitted It has been necessary to pro rate the water each year although the con tracts do not provide for such. From the evidence it' would ap pear the project represents an ex penditure of $221,000.00. During !the Pa;t five years the company has spent approximately $2600.00 in actual construction work and accord ing to the officers of the company who testified, the dam at Clear Lake could be completed to a fifteen foot height by spending $1500.00 or $2500.000 which would store more than' enough water to furnish the outstanding contract holders. Tak ing the $2700.00 . previously spent and , the $2500.00 necessary to partially complete the dam would mean a total expenditure of $5200.. 00 or a little more than $1000.00 per year. In view of the foregoing and other evidence, it doe; not appear to the state engineer that the company has exercised that degree of diligence which would entitle it to an exten sion of time. It is therefore ordered, that the application for extension of ; time within which the Wapinitia Irriga tion district was given to complete its rights be denied.

Since then the building has undergone a complete change. The chapel has been n larged by the removal of a hall par tition, new furniture and lighting ef fects installed and new carpet laid down. Adjoining the chapel is ;a family room, connected by doors without gla s, thus making it easy to bear all burial services A choir niche was provided, the office room j moved nearer the front waiting room I the whole covered by a beautiful and heavy carpet The basement his been re-partitioned and while smaller than be fore, it still is large enough to show !the fine line of caskets displayed by tne firm.
