The occasion was in the nature of n

touched, for the ladies eame well
laden with delicious refreshments.
The little tokens of regard were
presented by I). V. Stone in his usu

JCee. Tho following tribute wns read:
One day in bright December
Wien all the world wns gay
The colonel took the motor
And started far away.
At once the sun went under
And things got out of whack
Hut soon there, enmo a postal
Telling when
Tho colonel would come back
Still things they kept on happening
The rnin came pouring down
Tho thunder shook the hills
Nothing ever Iiko it in this town.
The wind it blew most awful,
Made the houses rock and crack
Just then wc got a letter
Saying when
The colonel would come back.
Then times they grew very bad
And things nil went awry.
Why you couldn't rnisc a nickel
Xo matter how you'd try.
The grange they certainly missed him
And the world looked very black
But every ono cheered up
For they knew
The colonel would come back.
Then this old Pacific Highway
Certainly caused many a wail,
It really needed the colonel
To tie a knot right in its tXil.
It wanted to be yanked hard
Back in the old beaten track
Thut will be all right when.
Tho colonel would come back.
Tho grown-ups grow very bine,
Tho kids did wail and sob
Why, wo had to have a doctor
Forever on tho job.
Now let everj one look cheerful
And pull in all tho slack,
Everything will sure be bright, for
-The colonel has come back.
ANNA HELD HEIR
TO
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10.
Anna Held, tho actress, declares tdie
is tho heir to the $00,000 estate of
Cherry do St. Maurice, n notorious
woman of the Sacramento . under
world, who wns murdered for her
jewels Inst July. This fact was re
vealed today by Chnrlcs F. Hunlon
of this city, who is Miss Hold's at
torney. A short time ago Miss Held, when
playing in Chicago, announced that
bhe hud been left a largo sum of
money by a California woman,
whoso nnme she could not remember,
Tho rovelation that tho woman was
nono other than tho notorious broth
el keeper, for whose murder "Juck"
Drumgoole, n prize fighter, has been
(sentenced to hung, was tho only rel
ative. "Aunn Held was tho only relntivo
of Cherry do St, Muurice.," said At
torney Hunlon. "In 1011, when the
actress wns playing in Saornmento,
Cherry do St. Maurico culled on her
and told hor that sho was her only
heir, 'if I die,' sho said, "I will leave
you ovorylhing I Jmve.'
"Sho told Miss Held that her
mother was a sister of MLb Hold's
father."
Hnnlo.n is now endenvoriug to es
tablish tho relationship.
"As Cherry do St. Maurice did not
leuvo any will, her estate is in es
cheat to the Btattf of California, but
J shall endeavor to forestall escheat
proWiHftjfjron )ikW of Miss Held,"
Mid JJaulwi.
from the good attendance, interest
manifested and hearty co-operalion
shown by the parents and patrons
of the district it will be an event
long remembered and one which wo
hope will be continued.
The object of this organization is
to foster n eloer empathy and co
operation between the home and the
school, to increase the efficiency of
both, and to further in every way the
interests of the Oregon public schools
in general and the Ituch school in
particular.
lluch school is one of the first ru
ral schools in Jackson county to
form an association of this kind, nnd
it wns made possible through the
persistent efforts of their teacher,
Miss Nellie Collins. The following
officers were elected nnd installed:
.Mrs. Anna ltice, president; Miles
Cnutrnll, vice-president; Mrs. Anna
Ituch, secretary, nnd Miss Ncllii
Collins, treasurer.
Addresses were made by the ehool
supervisor, A. It. Chase, Miles Can
trail, Mrs. Anna Hice and Mr. Davis,
supplemented at intervals with sev
eral numbers by the pupils of the
school.
Tho addresses were nbly and en
thusiastically rendered and express
ed not only the speaker's sentiments
of n future hearty co-ocration with
the teacher and the school, but those
of every good citizen nnd patron of
(he district.
The new cement block school
building, with its modem hcatinc.
system, adjustable steel desks nnd
seats nnd all the other iieecnr
modern equipments, just recentlj
completed and installed at a cost ol
about 3000 is a further mid the best
manifestation of their interest sbowi
in the betterment of the school.
With these new improvements. wcP
fenced nnd shady school grounds it
has been made one of u few stand-

With the "automatic stabilizer" In
vented by Orvllle Wright It Is nossluW
to-d.iy to learn to fly In twenty uilu
utes. The luicutlou robs the ulr ot
many of Its terrors to the aviator. Mr
Wright added to hU fume here with ei
pertinents with the contrivance. K
Ivrt.s from this ami other countries
wutcbed lilt operations with Intense In
tereat. He made the demonstration!
before a M'eclal committee of the Acre
Club ot America recently at Daytou.
Ohio.
Seventeen flights were made, and a
a result of the tests the committee
awarded to .Mr. Wrlsht the Collier
trophy. Th trophy Is awarded each
jcir and marks the most slgulf leant
advance In the history of aeronautic
for the year. Seven flights were made
with the hands entirely off the auto
matic "stabilizer," aud the turns were
made with a precision that was mar
rellous aud marled a new epoch lu the
history of aviation.
FOR AVIATOR'S DEATH
urd schools, without exception, in
Jackson county, nnd it can be safe
ly said that there are few, if any
more ideal rural schools in the state
of Oregon.
A very efficient and interestin'
demonstration of the Ilnlicoek test
for milk was given by the super
visor, Mr. Chose. This demonstra
tion was not only interesting and in
structive to the pupils, but to th
patrons as well, nnd was highly up
practiced by all.
The untiring efforts of our schoo'
board, W. II. Vcnnble, Chns. Hamil
ton and Miles Cnntrall, together
with those of the teacher, Mis Col
lins and Supervisor Chase, were
clearly in evidence by the interest
shown by this, our first meeting, and
wo feel that nt last we have mus
tercd ourselves into line, ready fot
tho march of progress.
Tho next meeting will be held the
afternoon of February "JO, which wiP
bo strictly a parent nnd teachers'
meeting.

Captain Arthur S. Cowan, com
mandant of the first aero squadron,
