Dear Friends: I wish at this time to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to each of you, who were so instru mental and worked so diligently In my behalf, in recommending me to the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission for the award of a Carnegie medal. "I feel, and have always felt, that the act performed by me was one that each of you would have dupli cated had the occasion arisen for you, as it did me. And to you I give full credit for my having been recommended for the honor. "The medal, I shall always cher ish with the most kindly thought of your organization, and the cash award I assure you I particularly ap preciate at this time as I anticipate it will provide me with means to secure expert medical assistance for my wife, who has been critically 111 during the past eight weeks. "Again thanking you collectively, and individually, I am. Your friend for always, ALFRED BEARD." During the regular routine of business all bills were allowed and ordered paid.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES One of the special features of the smoker which will be staged next Monday, December 10, is a mixed battle royal in which five wrestlers and five boxers enter the ring when the bell rings. Any one may fight or wrestle anyone else, or everyone. When down or off the mat the con testant is eliminated. Another special feature will be the appearance of the world’s fore most comedy wrestling and boxing bout. Pedte; vs. Repeat, will be the performers. They hail from Pendle ton, and have the reputation of knowing their stuff,, which consists of putting on an exciting perform ance with neither one of the heroes taking the count of 10 or being pin ned to the mat. Besides these special attractions there will be 20 other events in boxing and wrestling. It is reported that some of the boys have been carrying mild grudges against one another this year and an effort will be made to pair such parties off in order that they may come to a bet ter understanding. In past years it will be recalled that the annual smoker has been a big feature in Hermiston. The boys have locked horns with one another in no uncertain terms, and it is predicted that the coming event will be just as exciting as those of former years. On January 25th the seniors will present their annual class play. The play, "Adam’s Evening,” has been selected, and will be coached by Miss Sibert, who has named the follow ing students for the cast: Fred Hen sel, Floyd Pierce, George Sale, Ches ter Dyer, George Knapp, Faith Wil son, Neva Richards, Edna Turnblad, Florence Lewis and Sylvia Shutter.

The bus formerly used on that route has been transferred to the Westland district as a result of the large number of students coming in from that section. Charring Posts No Advantage. Annual tests made on the "post farm” conducted by the school of forestry at O.8.C., again confirmed previous Indications that charring Douglas fir posts is worse than nr treatment at all. Half of the charred posts set five years ago have giver away, while about the same number of the untreated posts set more than a year earlier have survived. Most of the treated posta are still strong, some after nearly seven yean of service, but this is too short a time to determine the comparative L. T.

MANY VISITOR IN COLUMBIA 27TH ANNUAL REBEKAH SECOND POOL SHIPMENT CONVENTION ELECTS SATURDAY DISTRICT OVER HOLIDAYS THE CAT’S PAW” PROVES GREATEST FILM IN CAREER The comedian, who has just brought to the screen Clarence Bud- ington Kelland's popular Saturday Evening Post serial. "The Cat’s Paw,” which will show Friday, Sat- urday and Sunday at the Oasis thea- tre, inaugurates a new policy with the release of this comedy. The story | is the first Lloyd has ever purchsed. Heretofore, all his comedies have been filmed from ideas suggested by himself, and developed by the come dian and his staff. In keeping with the trend of pic-1 tures, Lloyd, beginning with "The Cat’s Paw,” will go in more for story characterization than for gag ; comedies. This does not mean aban-1 donment of his main purpose, the creation of laughs, for in “The | Cat’s Paw” there are as many laughs as he ever put into a picture. But they will be obtained in a more legitimate way. Lloyd introduces several innova- | ions for himself in the Kelland ■tory. He has grown up in this pic- tire. He is not the adolescent youth he was n "Movie Crary," nor is he a sophisticate. One can believe in Him more, however, for he looks the part he plays. He is seen In “The Cat's Paw" as the son of an Ameri can missionary in China, who has spent twenty-three of his twenty seven years at his father’s post in the interior of China. His bewilder ment on his return to his native land is genuine, and the situations In which he finds himself tossed, are logical and believeable. who hope for no other. — Goethe. (1749-1832.)
