COMMENCEMENT A SUCCESS
Visiting Professor and Local Speaker
Deliver Interesting Addresses.
Eighth (IraJe Graduating Ex
ercise Are Very Pleating.
The commencement exercises of
the Hend schools look place in Lara
liall on the evening of Thurrday,
Friday and Saturday of last week,
and were in every way the entire
successes expected.
After nn Invocation by the Kcv.
J. Anthony Mitchell, I.. I). Wicst,
clerk of the school board, set the
bull rolling with nn able speech
briefly outlining the history, pres
ent status and future prospects of
the school. After calling attention
to the fact that a graduate of Hciid's
school could cuter, free of examina
tion, the state university a rare
compliment for any .school as young
as outs Mr. Witst closed by say
ing: "A successful school is due
to an able faculty; an able faculty
is cbo-mti by a Rood tchool board,
and a good board is elected by in
tclligcnt citizens."
Mis Held, the principal, then
formally presented the class, after
which Prof. Throne rendered a cor
j net solo, which, as usual, was
en
cored.
The history of
a school's first
class U a matter of considerable im
portancc as it is practically n his
tory of the school Itself. The oit
ol class chronicler fell very appro
priately to Mr. George Vandc Vert,
the only member of "'09', who
had been with it from start to fin
ish. The pajcr read by Mr. Van
dc Vert afforded his listeners nn in
teresting and comprehensive view
of the development of the school,
from its old home In the log house
to the present splendid building.
Miss Pearl Hlghtowcr delivered
nu excellent valedictory address,
and Miss Dorothy Schoolcraft gave
n delightfully well written and pre
sented oration upon the "Pursuit of
the Ideal" in which she showed
that true success in life is not meas
ured in worldly and financial guiu
but by personal integrity and faith
fulness to the highest (deals.
Then Miss Marion Wlest sang
several songn which met with great
applause, after which the visiting
Hicaker, Professor Sehafcr of the
University of Oregon, was Intro
duced mid welcomed by the audi
ence. Professor Sehafcr spoke primar
ily to the graduating class, but as
he said, "I do not lu the least ob
ject to the general audience over
hearing my rcmnrks." The speech
centered Uku the principle ot the
class motto, "Great Things Are
Done by Devotion to One Idea,"
though developed ut considerable
length. The speaker declared that
this singleness of purpose was the
greatest factor lu success and to
gether with it should be devcloed
the ability to uii't out the wheat
from the chaff the "worth while"
things from the useless. He dwelt
upon the importance of the "funda
mentals," the foundation stones of
life, upon which depend bo cntitcjy
the .success ot (he whole btrtctute.
Good schooling he emphasized ns
the most Important of these "fun
damentals," and spoke lu the warm
est terms of llcnd'n school and its
first class.
The evening was brought to a
close with the presentation of the
diplomas to the graduating class by
John Stcldl, chairman of the school
board.
Tho Eighth (Irade Uraduatlon.
The eighth grade class of seven
members received their graduation
diplomas Friday evening at the close
of the exercises held in Lara hall.
Miss Maud Van de Vert present
ed the class, and spoke of her sor
row at parting with pupils in whom
she had grown so interested. The
program was varied, including
music both vocal and instrumental,
orations and essays from each mem
ber of the class. Every one of the
boys expects to enter the high
school next year, so the class his
torian declared, at the same time
extending an invitation to the audi
ence to attend their higher gradua
tion four years hence.
The class is composed of Harry
Johnson, Carl Hunter, John Hates,
Rny Dcyn-mond, Paul Scoggin,
Ivan McGillvray and Alonro
Moore,
The Baccalaureate Sermon.
Sunday evening the Kcv. J. An
thony Mitchell delivered the bacca
laureate sermon to the graduating
class of the high school. The main
theme of the address was the value'lrnnr'i,,
of education. Dr. Mitchell espec
ially developed the Idea that the
schools could best .serve the inter
ests of the nation by including a
brief military training in the gener
al curriculum, and suggested that
the plan be tried in Ilcnd.
Tim mail school play.
"Air. Bob," the Cats and the Hungry
Air. Brown Provoke Laughter.
"Hello, old man, how arc you?"
Saturday night "Mr. Hob" came
to town, and about evervtwdy in
Ilcnd was there to welcome him
that is, Hitu. For "Mr. Hob," you
know, was the hcro-hcroiiic of the
nlay presented on the third night of
the high school festivities.
From start to finish the play was
n great success, even it the pussy
cats insisted upon yowling for their
condensed cream at inopportune
moments.
George Van dc Vert played his
part well despite the fact that kit
tens, and not bears, surrounded
him, while Miss Van de Vert, as
Mr. Hob, "the man with the weak
voice," excelled. Hut they were all
good, including the baud, from
Miss Wiest's inimitable old lady
and her vivacious niece, to the
thoroughly charming Patty, who
led her Komco such n merry chase.
And best of all, the finances
show n balance on the right side of
the books. The gross receipts were
31.80. The total expense of the
play and graduation exercises were
f 19-55. thus leaving n balance ol
$13.35, which will go toward future
activities.

Well incased vllh Bend.
W. H. II. Williams of Seattle,
interested in and superintendent of
the O. H. Williams Company, man
ufacturers of doors and sashes, spent
the past week in the timber south
of Bend. To a Bulletin reporter
Mr. Williams said:
"I am very much pleased with
this country. There arc much bet
ter prospects and a better town here
than I expected to find. I have
been carefully examining the tim
ber in this section and it will- make
the very best doors and sasbes.
Your No. 1 and No. a lumber will
be made Into doors and toe rio. 3
into sashes. There will be practi
cally no waste to it. I much pre
fer in my business Eastern Oregon
pine to cither cedar or fir. Doors
made from cedar or fir lumber swell
too much in wet weather and shrink
in like degree in dry weather. Your
pine will make excellent doors and
sashes, and with transportation
Bend would be a fine place for a
sash and door factory."
"Has your company any inten
tion of establishing a sash and door
factory at Bend after transportation
is provided 1" Mr. Williams was
asked.
"It is a little early to answer that
question, but I am very favorably
impressed with the prospects ol
your country and with the quality
of your timber, and it is quite prob
able that wc will put in such a fac
tory at Bend when there arc trans
portation facilities."
Mr. Williams has been all over
the Pugct Sound country, and said
that Bend had better prospects than
anything he had tound iu the
that section.

DRILLING RESUMED
ON GRIZZLY WELL
Everything In R5Hness fofllvc
Prospect a Thorough Test.
NOW DOWN OVER 300 FEET
Manager Hopes to Pint the Weric
Without Any Further Exaperat
Iflj: Delays Items From Cen
tral and Eastern Oregon.
Drilling has been resumed on the
well which is being put dowa by
the Madras Oil & Gas Cotapaay on
the west slope of Grizzly, and the
officers of the company say they
hope to continue work now without
further interruption until they
strike a gusher. The Madras Pio
neer reports that there have been
several annoying interruptions in
the work, which has, on that ac
count, made slow progress during
the last few months. At a depth
of 175 feet the work was suspended
for some time, as it was found nec
essary to secure heavier machinery.
With the arrival of the new ma
chinery work was resumed, but
was again discontinued in a short
time. Drilling has been resumed
again and they are now making
good progress.
The drillers are having some
trouble with water, which rises so
rapidly in the hole as to make it
difficult to "muck out." It is said
that overnight the water raised 275
feet in the hole, which will give
some idea of the amount of water
they have to handle. In order to
obviate this difficulty it has been
found necessary to sink the casing
with the drill. The work fa now in
charge of Frank Lovcland and
John Moore, and the latter has had
much experience in sinking oil
wells. The well on Grizzly is down
something over 300 feet.
Evaporating Station EstaWiassed.
The evaporating station has been
established at Christmas lake. The
object ol thtse stations is to deter
