DIR TRIP.

Last Saturday morning we got on board III,
cars along with many Others who seemed in
tent upon going somewhere we knew no
where, and we went whirling along and soor
arrived at Wilbur, where Rev. Mr.. Gitten:
got on board the train bound for Drain, and
when we got to Oakland the Misses Mary
Baker and Phene Smith also joined the nun.
Der, the former going to Drain, the latter to
Yoncolla, each to commence teaching school
near those places. We stopped at Drain, and
while there noted many improvements in the
little town since last we visited IT.
We had read the little posters on the street
which said, "Don't forget the entertainment
Saturday night" At an carly hour n the
evening we saw the people going to the Acad-
emy, SO we went too, and there four the
chapel crowded to the utmost, to be enter
tanned by the following programme, of which
we will speak briefly. The &Songs OF Seven"
representing seven ages was well portrayed by
the Misses Lulie McCallister, Nancie Drain,
Gail Benson, Myrtle Russell, Dora McCallis-
ter, Olive Morningstar, and Mollie McCallis-
ter Each one rendered their part in man
ner which did credit to themselves as well as
their instructors. The program was interspcr-
sed with instrumental solos, duets and trios,
from the following: The Misses Mercie Apple
gate, Nellie Applegate, Minnie Fisher. Anna
Drain, Mcssrs James Beckley, and p. B.
Cartwright, Mrs. Caldwell, and Gail b enson.
The vocal solos by Arthur Gardiner and Het-
ty Seymore were well rendered. Recitations,
'The Constant Reader" by r. B. Lane,
"Paddys Correspondence" by w. S. Bean,
Setting the Hen by w. A. Bean, ''IIow
we Caught Mouse" by II. M. Caldwell, and
'The Child Musician" by Willie Benson are
all worthy Of praise, but "The School Boy
by Prof. II. L, Benson brought down the
house. Then came the farce ga Little More
Cider" which was well rendered, and brought
forth much applause from the audience. All
this with tableaux consisted the evenings en-.
tertainment, and all went away 10 their homes
feeling that they had been we'll entertained |
We remained over Sunday in the little town
of Drain, and in the afternoon party Of us
walked out to Snowden Springs, and there
found Mr.. and Mrs. Tobias who cordially |
greeted us in a cheerful manner They are
making many much needed improvements,
and the springs will be fine summer resort
for invalids and pleasure seekers. We return
cd to Drain and in the evening, went to church
and listened to sermon delivered by Rev. !
Mr.. Citizens. On Monday we visited the Nor
NAL school and found it in flourishing condition
under the skillful management of Profs Ben
son and Rippetoe. Although few Of the
large students are quitting now in order to get |
schools to teach this spring, they have yet
good attendance.
must not forget to mention our visit TO the
Echo Office where we were cordially welcomed |
by the editors DR.. Kuykendall and r. a. |
Booth, who are making good live little pa
per. Taking it all in all our visit in Drain
was very pleasant one, and we will long re-
member the hospitality we received while
there. We returned Monday evening to
Roseburg to again resume our work feeling
much refreshed by our vacation.
