Our High School Commencement.

As per announcement, the Commence
ment Exercises Of the Skowhegan High
School and eademy were held at Coburn
Hall, on Thursday and Friday evenings, Of
last week. As In the past years, the inter
est In the school was made doubly manifest
by the large crowds in attendance on cnch
evening aud the strict attention paid to
the exercises. Dinsmore's orchestra, of
Watervllle, six pieces, discoursed fine mu-
Sic at intervals nd came In for their share
of the donors bestowed 70 literally by
those in attendance.
Notwithstanding the large capacity Of
the hall and the commodious stage, the
floral decorations, SO sbundantlY rendered
for the occasion were arranged very beau
tifully under the direction of Mrs. Bert
Weston, who acted as designer aud to
whom much credit IS due. The class mot
tos were arranged on an arch across, the
centre Of the stage, the Juniors, "Archi-
tects of our own Fortunes" being made
from white flowers on a garnet background
while the Seniors, Non Verba Sed Facta"
was made up from double bultercups with
the same background as the Juniors, thus
displaying the class colors in each In
stance.
On Thursday evening the Junior night,
by the advice of the teachers aud wisely
too, small admission fee was charged to
assist in defraying the expenses, which
were necessarily quite large.

lying idle i'll this city. In fact, money
is almost a drug in the market. The
reason for this is that our farmers and
business men are Ill good circumstances,
and are not obliged to borrow. The
majority of the people who come to
this part of Dakota bring money with
them. They are industrious and frugal
and begin to lay up something for a
rainy day as soon as they sell their first
crop. Within ten years the Devils Lake
region will be the richest agricultural
country on earth, and hard times will be
a thing of antiquity.

A Mean Thing,

A great newspaper reacer was out
hunting recently, and a storm coming
up he crept into a hollow tree log for
shelter After the storm abated he
~endeavored to crawl out. but found that
the log had swelled so that it was i'm
possible to make his exit. He endeav-
ored to compress himself as much as
possible, but with Indifferent success
He thought about all the mean things
he had ever done, until finally his mind
reverted to the fact that, instead of buy.
ing his paper like a man, he was in the
habit OF borrowing it from his neighbor.
upon this he felt so small that he slip.
ped out Of the log without an effort.

A New Outlet

The Acton District Farmers Alliance
of Walsh county, has recently been dis
cussing the feasibility of shipping wheat
from points on the Red river, via the
Canada Pacific railway, to Port Arthur
and thence by lake to Chicago. The
members of that body appear to have
concluded that such q commercial out
let for their produce is highly desirable,
and they think it could be made with
advantage to the grain trade here as
we'll as to the farmers of their section.
The Red River valley proper now only
raises about a million bushels of wheat
per year, but that quantity could be
quadrupled without difficulty if encour-
agement were given to such increase in
the acre of wheat culture. AZ navigu-
ton on the Red river does not close till
near the middle of November, and that
on the lakes till n fortnight later, there
is ample time for moving the greater
part of the wheat by the proposed route
the same year it is grown, while the re-
mainder could be stored in ele-
vators along the river at less cost
than in Chicago, to take advantage of
the spring demand. Of course the PEG
pie Of this city could scarcely expect to
receive any of the latter. It would 70
directly east without coming up Lake
Michigan. But by far the greater portion
of the crop Of that section could be
handled in this market if not actually
brought here. That has been the expe-
rience with wheat stored in Duluth dur
ing last winter.
