On Friday, April 12, the high school
will present the play "All-of-a Sudden-
Peggy ” This is a high class royaltv
play by Ernest Denny and is worthy
of the consideration of all.
Peggy is the very impulsive Irish
girl who does the unexpected but per­
fectly delightful thing at ail times,
even surprising her mother and en­
tirely horrifying Lady Crackenthorpe.
The latter is a most conventional
English lady who considers it almost
criminal to be natural.
Lord Crackenthorpe, the eldest son
of Ladv Crackenthorpe, is a scholarly
and dyspeptic gentleman who ia in­
tensely interested in spiders and has
therefore become implicated with Mrs.
O’Mara, wife of the late Prof. O’Mara
and her daughter Peggy. Through
the efforts of Mrs. O’Mara Lord
Crackenthorpe is about to succumb to
the charms of Peggy when Uncle
Archie and Lady Crackenthorpe con­
ceive the idea of calling upon Jimmy,
the young son, to save Lord Cracken-
thorpe and the family estate of Hawk­
burst. How Jimmy comes to the res
cue forms the chief interest of the
plav
and
astonishes both
Lady
Crackenthorpe and Uncle Archie.

George H. Root entered into partner­

and that they will attain their zenith
in this direction is now a certainty,
for they already have.in their pens as
fine a bunch of Duroc-Jersey swine as
is to be found anywhere in this part of
the country.
And that they are still bettering
conditions along this line is shown by
the fact that recently Mr. Mason pur­
chased from Geo. Strohm Gunn’s De­

Jersey boar in this part of the state as

herd of sows. This animal won first

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Hermiston Commercial Club last
night the proposition of the establish­
ment of an up-to-date laundry in this
city was discussed. This matter was
brought upas a result of a letter to
Secretary Prime from a gentleman in
another part of the state who has been
in the laundry business for years ask­
ing for information concerning the
possibilities for the establishment of
such an institution in this city.
It seemed to be the general opinion
that a well regulated and well operat­
ed laundry would pay in this city, tak­
ing into consideration the fact that
there is much territory surrounding
Hermiston from which an active aid
business like owner of a plant of this
kind could draw trade. It was cited
that Echo, Stanfield, Butter Creek,
Umatilla, Boardman and Irrigon wou d
probably contribute to the support of a
laundry here if the operator can deliv­
er a high class of work, and from the
tone of the letter it is apparent that
be can do that very thing.
The committee appointed to look up
data that would tend to throw light on
the proper way of getting at the pro-
position of the formation of an irriga­
tion district so as to place it before
the people for their sanction or rejec-
tion reported that while their research­
es had convinced them that the idea
of an irrigation district formation
would in all probability redound to the
more rapid advancement of the project
nevertheless they could not see how it
could be successfully brought about at
the present lime owning to the fact
that the district embraced in this pro­
ject contained so much unpatened lands
that c uld not be classified in an irri­
gation district.
The attendance at the meeting was
not up to normal Monday night on ac­
count of counter attractions, and an
early adjournment took place.
