The clans consisted of five boys and three girls, these being Minnalena Cameron, Arthur R. Crawford. Marie Jeanette Haeer, Sidney Hallock, Bar old A. Cohn, TenaL. Devio, Marshall Phelps and Harry Rood. Messrs Crawford, Phelps and Cohn were the class orators. Crawford spoke from the theme, "The Old Or der Changeth," drawing his thoughts from the history of onr country and setting out some of the various changes that had taken place, all pointing to greatly Improved condi tions. Great achievements have been made and wonderful has been the progress in government, in science, in mechanics, in agriculture and in ed ucation, and vest improvement made over the old order. A good lesson was drawn and made applicable to our present day and generation, and more especially to those just launch ing out into new fields of life from the High School. The oration was well prepared. ' Phepla drew good lessons from his subject, "The Re ward of Perseverance," gathering his inspiration from the history of the constrcution of the Panama canal perhaps the greatest achievement in all modern history. His address was full of eood historical facts, showing that he had to wotk out much of the detailed events of the building of this connecting link between the two great oceans by studious research, but not withstanding he kept his data in mind and did not fail to reach a fitting cli max in tne good lessons arawn. Colin had for his subject, "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy," and he certainly is entitled to credit for the literary and oratorical ability displayed. In this address the class motto: "Suc cess Depends On How Haid We Try," was Btrikingly illustrated, and Harold delivered his part in a very acceptable manner, indfcd. Hannibal could net reach Rome without crossing the Alps, almost impassible barriers, but Rome was the object and aim of his efforts, and he succeeded. So it is with the young men and women just entering upon the responsibilities of life; they should have an object, an aim. and this should be attained although there be seemingly impassible barriers in the way. Misses Cameron and Hager filled the musical part of the program for the class and delivered well prepared vccal and instrumental selections; the vocal duet by these two young ladies being deserving of special mention. Miss Funk also favored the aud ience with a vocal solo which was well reoeived and graoiously responded to an encore. Prof. Otto's orchestra played selections at the opening and the closing of the program. The class address was by Hon. J. H. Ackerman, of Monmouth, presi dent of the State Normal School, and for twelve years superintendent of public instruction for Oregon. Mr. Ackerman has appeared a number of times before Heppner audiences and the people here are always glad to bear him. His address on this occa sion was fully up to the expectations of his audience something good was looked for and they were not in the least disappointed. He accused the speakers of the class of "stealing his thunder" in that the stress of their thought was along the same line he wished to sptak, but being possessed of a fund of experience, Prof. Acker man was not at a loss to entertain the people with a splendid address. In the course of his remarks he took occasion to commend very highly the proposed new school building for Heppner, and it was gratifying to note the spirit in which his words on this subject were received. People of Heppner hope to have Mr. Acker, man with them manv times in the future. The diplomas were presented to the class by Vawter Urawford, clerk of the school board. It is gratifying to know that the majority of this class are contempla ting entering higher schools of learn ing this Fall and pursue their studies determined to gain lor themseves a fuller measure of education and be better prepared to make their way in life. Heppner is proud of this class, is proud of their school, and there will certainly be no hindrance to future betterment. The Demon ! tne Swamp are mosquitoes.

No New Trial. John Irvin, who was recently con victed of murder in the second degree for the killing of J. A. McCraw at Whitney, will not have a new trial in the local court, as a motion filed some time ago by bis attorneys, J. L. Rand and A. A. Sjiith, asking for a retrial, was denied Tuesday by Cir cuit Judge Smith, savs the Democrat. The motion asking for a new trail contained some essential features, in one instance alleging that one of the jurors was prejudiced against the prisoner and stated before the trial that he deserved to be hung. In view of the denial of a motion for another trial in the local courts the case will be appealed.--Sumpter Amerian.
