GRADE SCHOOL OPERETTA
WAS GREAT SUCCESS
The operetta “ On A Midsummer's
Day" presented by the child'eu if
the Tillamook grade school, iu the
high school gymnasium, was a griat
success.
The play was the result of ;ors‘.d-
erable work on the part of dircc-
•tor Miss Mildred Hamilton.
Every one agrees that the children
did splendidly and deserv? great
credit for the trial.
The setting was a woodland scene
where the occupants of a flower gar
den were much neglected by their
mistress, Pearl Anderson. Th? fairy
queen finds them in this condition
and decides to teach the child a les
son, thereby removing the flowers
to her fairy garden, where they ato

About two months ago a drill ««I

and a well about four hundred foct

The oil indications consist of gas
and a small amount of what app'-ar*

little hope that there is en •uqh far
