A petition has oeen prepared and
circulated among the old soldiers
asking that board of pension
examiners be created at Toledo,
and that the members of the board
be DR.. Carter, of Elk City, DR..
Parent, of Toledo, and DR.. Bavley,
of Newport. The petition has been
signed by all the old soldiers to
whom il has been presented, and
has been forwarded to Washington.
1t is to be hoped that,-the depart
ment will act favorably upon this
petition, and at an early date create
such board. There are several
pensioners in Lincoln county. and
several applicants for pensions,
and as the nearest board of ex-
aminers is located at atAibany, eighty
miles away, it works decided hard
ship upon all those who are ordered
before the board for examination.
In some instances it is simply inn
possible for the old soldier to make
the trip. The department should
remedy this by creating board of
examiners at this place, and it will
be very likely to do so. -.
County Treasurer Hyde expects
to remit the balance of. the state
taxes due from Lincoln county to
the state treasurer in few days.
Mr.. Hyde has already remitted
about s., 800 of the 1896 state taxes
to the state treasurer and that
amount now lies in the vaults of
the state treasurer or in some bank
He will remit the balance OF about
100 and square Lincoln county
with the state of Oregon. The
total state taxes for 1896 were
S3,456.7S. Last year Mr.. HYDE
did not Secure enough money to
make Il remittance on the state
taxes until in October. This iudi-
Gates that taxes are coming in faster
than last year, The levy, however,
Is SIX mills higher which accounts
IN part for this. There are about
81 500 in the county school fund
1t will require So, 200 in this fund
before the regular annual apportion-
ment OF $50 per district can be
made. 1t will probably be but a
short time before sufficient amount
OF money will be collected to raise
the school fund to the amolnt
necessary for an apportiopment to
be made.

Mr., H. II. Cook, of Ona, in this
county, is the manufacturer of a
line OF, wooden novelties and small
woodepware, that promises to de-
velop aiuto quite an industry.
Among the many small wooden
articles made by him is handsome
aud useful article coveted BY every
housewife. 1t is a small cedar box
with sliding lid and contains three
dozen clothes pins. The box has
hooks arranged on it so that it can
be hooked on the clothes line and
pushed along while hanging. out
the clothes, thus doing away with
all STOPPING over and hunting for
pins. The pins are made of native
vine maple and are much more
tough and durable than the ordi-
nary Eastern made clothes pins.
Mr.. Cook also manufactures straw
berry boxes, baskets, and several
other such useful household ueces-
sites. Lincoln county people
should parouize and encourage
him by buying his goods. They
are all made at home out of Lin.
coin county products.

the City High School the GRAPHIC can not speak too highly. Each and every member acquitted herself or himself grandlF. Their essays or orafons were on much higher plane than those of the classes which have preceded the class of '97, and the manner in which these essays were read or the orations delivered, proved that the young, graduates had perfect confidence in their abiI- ities and thoroughly understood their themes They were the recip- tents of many beautiful flowers aud words of congratu.ation. The GRAPHIC joins with their other friends in wishing them, one and all, happy and successful lives.
 Miss Lou Reeder, with salutatory and essay, delighted here friends by her good delivery and the origj- nal thoughts so suceintly placed in words The subject of her essay was. The Triumph of the Anglo Saxon Race. <"

 The subject of a well written pa- per by MT. John H. Mccain was, "This One Thing I Do. The gen tleman was clearly entitled to the loud applause and lovely bouquets he received for his splendid effort.
 "Minding the Gaps subject that is full of suggestive thoughts, was the title of the essay by Miss John Tankersley. By her effort Miss Tankersley showed marked literary ability, and her manner of reading was most pleasing and graceful.
 Glass Prophecy by Miss Blauch Fox, was a particularly interesting essay, aud the clear voice in which the young lady prophesied the future of her schoolmates, and the sentiment and deep thought con tained in the essay made t charm ing number.
