Editorial - ;
(By Arthur Crowley)
School is about out. What are you
going to do now? Probably , many
seniors would like an answer to this
question. The question covers a lot
of territory, but many suitable an
swers could be found. We think the
first answer would be to go to school
for higher learning. Perhaps your
finances are low; then get yourself
a job until you have made the amount
required. If you do not wish to go
on further in school you can stay at
the job and strive to work up to a
higher position. We hope there are
very few who are totally lacking in
ambition. If there are any unam
bitious people we - hope . that they
don't make themselves known to the
ones who are on the road to success.
Prehaps you wonder why we wish
these unambitious people to avoid the
ambitious. It is easily answered. If
one is trying to be a success it is a
constant struggle to resist the en
ticing invitation of a shiftless loafer,
for he seems to be enjoying life. Per
haps his suggestions come when dis
couraged and the longing to escape is
strong. It is then that the unam
bitious is dangerous, "There is no
royal road to .learning" .. for such
characters as these. To.be success
ful and have success all your life you
must have determination, perserver
ence, strong desire, and the power to
say no. . ,

Wate( Running Low
The water running in the river at
Hermiston is reported as going down
rapidly and while the district is still
diverting a small head into ; the res
ervoir, it is expected that this will
soon be discontinued. Water is in
some seasons diverted into the feed
canal and reservoir as late as June,
but this year very little snow is re
ported in the mountains.
Vandals Ransack Cabins
Reports come from the Middle
Meadows district in the Blue Moun
tains, east of Milton, that vandals re
cently entered the cabins of Dave
Yates, the Whitney and Pickard
mountain homes, where they over
turned furniture and left the house
holds in disorder but so far as is
known took nothing with thenv
Walla Walla. Whether the man
who claims to be Charles Blewitt, is
really the man he believes he is, is
puzzeling some of the men who knew
Blewitt in his youth, but one at least
believes he is not. This is Henry
Lacey, who was on the volunteer ex
pedition to northern Idaho in 1877
against the Nez Perce Indians. Near
Cottonwood, Blewitt, a Walla Walla
volunteer, was supposed to have been
killed, and his body was buried in
Walla .Walla.
Lacey was in Walla Walla yester
day and ran across Blewitt on the
street. Blewitt says "Hello, Henry"
but Lacey failed to recognize him and
expressed the opinion that the man
now here is mistaken. -,
Lacey, Blewitt and William S Clark
were in the party which went to near
Whitebird in 1877. Afte? the trouble
was over Lacey and Clark came back,
and Blewitt remained with the other
forces, soon after it being reported
that he was killed. j
Lacey states that the man now here
lacks knowledge of, Blewitt'a rela
tives. ?
; Honor Indian Chief tian
As a memorial to Chief Lawyer,
leader of the Nez Perce Indians, who
75 years ago it is recorded, saved the
lives of Isaac I. Stevens, territorial
governor, and his party, the graduat
ing class of Whitman college will
dedicate a huge granite boulder, bear
ing a bronze tablet with the profile of
the famous chief, on the Whitman
campus Tuesday June 3. The monu
ment; is to be placed on the exact
site where the friendly Nez Perces
made Hieir camp.- . ; i
