GRADUATING EXERuIsEs.
A Glass of Nine Received Diplomas From
The Dalles high School

The Dalles high School
One of the most important dates in
the life OF any young man or woman is
when he or she can say have finished
my course of study, am to bid adieu to
school days. and am prepared to take
NV place among my fellow men and
women of the country On such oc-
casioh the youth who is graduated is
the observed of all observers and is
subjected to the severest criticism.
This was indeed true last Saturday
night, when the nine graduates of The
Dalles high school appeared on the
stage in the armory before an audience
of 900 people, to render their gradu-
ating orations and essays. They con-
fronted the severest critics in the
community, but not one was capable
of detecting any flaw whatever in word
or action of the class.
IL would indeed be Il pleasure to us
to give each of the class special men
tion and publish their orations and es-
says in full, for each was master
piece of thought, but space will not
permit.
The nine members of the class Wore
Daisie Z. Allaway, Homer D. Angel,
Edward D. Baldwin, Pearlo Butler,
Vireilia G. Cooper, Curtis Egbert, Ed
ward T. Jenkins, Mabel p. Riddell
and Mona c. Rowe Each Of them had
chosen a patriotic subject, and the
manner in which the different themes
were handled was creditable alike to
the ability of the pupils aad the effici-
ency of their instructors. The pro-
gramme of the commencement exer-
cises was as follows, and was perfectly
rendered in every feature:

How to Fnrl an Umbrella.

An inspection of the umbrellas car
RED by women one cloudy day re-
vealed the fact that few OF them were
properly wrapped. Among the hun
dreds OF women seen along Fourteenth
street, Sixth avenue, and Twenty
third street, two umbrellas were
wrapped carefully and neatly, without
hulgin2. All degrees OF bagginess were
displayed IN the others, and many
not furled at oil. Even men are not
free from the lmputation of careless.
ness, though the number of baggv
umbrellas carried by them was not
large, and the majority of that num-
Der belonged to old men.
Almost every one knows there is
right way to wrap an umbrella, al
though it would seem that few know
what that is. A maker of umbrellas
says in regard to this:
Take the handle of the umbrella i'm
the right han 7, holding the ends Of
the frame between the thumb and first
finger. With the left hand pull ont
the flaps OF the silk and fold each one
separately and carefully about the
rod, smoothing ont the end nearest the
handle with the thumb Of the right
hand. When the flaps have been
tightly folded about tue rod fasten
the clasp. Then. still holding the
handle Of the umbrella in the rizht
hand, clasp the LETT hand tightly about
the ferulc AMI twist it around the
folded umbrella, with each twist bring.
ing the left hand nearer the right.
When the left hand reaches the clasp
hold it still, and with the other hand
pull the end OF euoh flap until it be-
comes smoo'h. Repeat the twisting
and pulling p. ocess until the umbrella
is wrapped tightly and neatly"

Economy in Connrr Mining

The prodigal waste of ore in some
OF the more primitive methods OF min.
ing IS In striking contrast to the new
way of doing things. Even the water
flowing from copper mines is drawn
into tanks and by precipitation
through the use of chemicals seventy.
five to eighty-fve per cent. Of copper
is collected. This was discovered by
accident. A miner without knowledge
Of chemical action remarked that tin
cans or pieces of iron thrown into the
waste water soon became covered with
copper. From this simple incident
came the possibility of securing a
large amount OF pure metal. The
water is now drawn into tanks treated
with chemicals, then led from one
tank to another, each prepared with
a precipitGting solution. When the
last tank is reached the contents are
allowed TO settle, when the copper is
removed and prepared for shipment.
