Mi»s Stella Webster has been absent from our ranks a few days. Last Friday evening the tenth grade of the high school was royally enter­ tained by Miss Bird, their teacher in rhetoric and English literature.

The one guessing the largest number of the representations being presented with a volume of"Sesame and Lillies.” Miss Webster was the recipient of the book. The class returned to their several homes I pronouncing it au enjoyable evening. July 1 next will be the day of emanci­ pation from the most vexatious of the stamp taxes imposed by the war revenue law of 1898. Not until there is another war will these taxes, which produce comparatively little revenue but create much annoyance, lie reimposed. After June 30 it will not be necessary to put stamps on telegrams, checks, money or­ ders, express receipts, leases, promissory notes, mortgages, insurance policies, and real (.state conveyances where the consideration is under (2,500. The tax on legacies was repealed so far as gifts to charitable, literary, religious, or educa­ tional institutions are concerned. There are other stamp taxes, like the one on freight receipts, which could have been repealed had it not been necessary to take care of the brewers and the tobacco manufacturers. They are to get one- half of the reduction of about $41,000,000. They would have been given a still larger share if the house had not assert­ ed itself for once and refused to permit a revenue bill to be written for it by the senate. NEWBKKU. Newberg is happy. Mrs. Wiley Edwards has returned home from an extended visit to Hills­ boro and Corvallis. The farmers’ institute is in progress in town and is well attended. Much in­ terest is manifested. The third number of the course of lectures given at Friends’ church was held Tuesday evening and was good. Rev. Mr. Hobson from England, who has lieen holding meetings in Friends’ church, was tendered a reception on Monday, prior to his departure on Tues­ day. The Woodmen of the World gave two evenings' entertainment last week in Crater’s hall, and they, with the Women of Woodcraft, have added many names to their membership. Newberg went wild over the victory of our college in the oratorical contest.
