School Notes.
Death of Mrs. Mildred Small.
Mrs. Mildred Small, wife of F. D.
Small, died on Saturday afternoon at
her temporary residence in Portland,
aged 33 years, 11 months and 2 days.
The deceased had been ill for several
years, and had resided in California
w>th the hope of regaining her health.
She came back to Oregon and to Till
amook, but left for Portland a few
weeks ago. The cause of death was
consumption, and when she returned
from California it was only a ques
tion of time when she would pass
away. Besides her husband, the de
ceased leaves two children, Edna_,
aged 11 years and Carl, aged 15
years.
The funeral service was held at the
residence in Portland on Tuesday
morning, and the burial in the Rose
City Park Cemetery.
Th>! deceased was highly respected
in this county, and had many friends,
who deplore her lingering illness, and
whose sympathy is with the bereaved
husband and children.
Half a dozen boys of the High
School have peen very busy for a
month or more, getting ready for the
debate tryouts. The preliminary try
out on December 12 resulted in the
contestants being given the following
rank; Delmer Powers, first; Lee Doty
second; Charles Lamb, third; Nelson
Powers, fourth, Clark Embum, fifth;
Ernest Church, sixth. Mr. Hardesty,
the coach, Miss Currey of the faculty,
and Mr. Cloyd Dawson, a debator of
renown, were the judges. The final
tryout December 21 showed marked
improvement by all.
The initial debates occur January
12, our negative team going to Gas
ton to meet their affirmative and
Forest Grove sending their negative
here to discuss the question with the
local affirmative. The question con
cerns the adoption of a health in
surance law for Oregon.
The teams and coach are going to
get in some very careful and persis
tent work before January 12. Mr.
Hardesty will return with the com- '
ing of the new year and he and the
boys will devote the last week of I
their vacation to a thorough organ
ization of arguments and a careful
polishing of delivery. All concerned
are working hard and we expect
good results. The boys are going to
do well. We hope they may win in
the preliminary debates and so get
outside of the district.
For this work, each member of
the team earns a credit equivalent to
that for a semester work in any reg
ular subject.

A widow and thirteen children are

brother who resides in Portland.
An estate amounting to about $90,-
000 has been accumulated.

ters in this section since the memory
of the first white settler and have
been known and remembered by
