not only by Mitchell, people but by
families from other parts of the county.
The following program was given after
prayer and singing, Mrs. Flora Wilson
president OF the county w. c. T. U.
acting as chairman.
The recitation by Miss Bessie
Stair was entitled "Patriotism of the
American Boy" as manifested by ex-
plosive material, ended in great con-
Aagration in words and deeds.
Rev. Mr.. Tomlin gave talk on the
"Coming Boy The talk was good,
giving food for thought TO the parents
as we'll as boys.
Rev. G. E. Hager then talked of
"The Girl of the Coming Century,"
His remarks contained many excellent
suggestions for girls and those who
have their training in charge.
Mrs. l.. A. Ramsey, president of the
state w. G. T. o., then gave an ad-
dress which was attentively listened to
and heartily applauded.
The first thing after dinner was
song, Marching Through Georgia."
which was followed by the opening
prayer, delivered by Rev. Tomlin.
Then came song by the Loyal Tenn.
perance Legion followed by the reading
of the Declaration of Independence by
Gus Leovinger. Prof. Quigley then
spoke on "Our Public School System"
He declared that two Of it's most i'm
portant aims were to teach patriotism
and temperance; that the teacher who
can inculate these principles into the
child nature is of more value to the
state than the learned scholar. A very
interesting feature was "A Symposium
on Patriotism" The first speaker was
Mr.. Havens. he declared that the
business of the Fourth OF July" orator
was ruined. That loquacious individ-
ual used to tell how we had ''licked'
the red-coats and could do it again, but
the business of twisting the British
lions tail was spoiled by England's
friendly attitude in the late war. Then
again the orators used to tell how we
had clicked" the rebels and could do it
again. But this was spoiled by Fitz-
hugh Lee and little Joe Wheeler. Mr..
Peck and Mrs, Ruth spoke ON the same
subject. After song the rest of the
program was conducted by the younger
people. 1t was as follows: Recitation
Miss Anna Curtis; recitation, Miss
Jennie Smith: song, Mrs. Lee and Miss
Rosa Lee: recitation, Miss Wilson; re-
citation, Miss Fannie Smith; song, Miss
Nellie Pease.
This closed the program for the after
noon and social hour was then spent
before the picnicers drove home, all
evidently we'll satisfied, some declaring
the event to have been successful far
beyond their expectations. A move
ment was put on foot to arrange for q
similar celebration next year, with a
program that would be attractive
enough to arouse general interest

1hat Many Have Finished the Course In
the Schools of Dawson County.
The eleventh annual commencement
exercises of the Dayison county rural
schools were held at the court house
Friday evening and were Witnessed by
an audience that occupied nearly every
seat in the room. The class colors
we're those Of the nation-red, white
and blue, and the decorations on the
rear wall were made made very pretty
with flags and bunting surrounding the
motto: SIN it for Useful Life"
There were seventeen members in the
class who have finished the course in
the rural schools of this county and the
diplomas they received on this occasion
are passports to any high school in the
state. For eight years they have fol-
lowed the prescribed course and have
succeeded in passing the examinations
required OF them. The graduates rep
resent nearly all the schools of Dawson
county and their orations show that
they have been studious and have
had the training of careful and con-
scientious teachers; and it is no light
task that these moulders of the youth
full mind have to assume in the country
districts, but there has been an apprec-
liable raising OF the standard in these
rural schools. The following program
was rendered, the opening numbe be-
ing vocal solo by Mrs.O. E. Browne
and was followed by Rev. Harry Gun
derson who delivered the invocalion:

THE oREGoNIAN's NEW WHEAT
RATE.

Discussing the merits OF Astoria's
claims to equal railway rates with the
cities Of Puget sound from interior
common points, among other things,
the Astorisn recently said:
The Astorian's claim is that wheat
delivered by the railroads at the mouth
Of the Columbia river, without extra
freight charges to the producers,
through the extension to the seaboard
port Of Astoria Of the same common
point freight rates charged TO the more
distant and inaccessible ports on Puget
sound, would net the producers al least
32,50O.0OC more on the average crop than
is nov realized at Portland prices.
Pretending to reply to this paragraph,
while careful not to deny a single letter
Of its assertions. the Oregonian yester-
day attempted to reduce the Astorian's
position to an absurdity in the follow
ing language. 1t said:
From this statement 1t is easily de-
ducible that four -fifths Of this money
may at once be saved TO the producers
and the other one-fifth secured for op-
GRAFTON and profit by the Astoria rail-
road. The amount Of wheat and -four
shipped from the Columbia river last
year'-the best year and heaviest ship
ments ever known-was about 100000
tens. The saving. then, Of two and one
half million dollars-would be five dol
lars ton. Now one dollar ton from
Portland to Astoria would enable the
Astoria railroad to make a good deal
Of money. It is as good a thing as a
railroad would want Thus, Of the
32,50O. .0OO-the increased value which
50G,OOO tons Of wheat would have at AS
toria-there would be s2,OOO,OO0 left for
distribution among the producers.
The Astorian's claim, as fairly stated
in the paragraph quoted. is that the
recognition Of Astoria as the export
market for Columbia basin wheat, by
its delivery here without any additional
freight charge to that now collected
for its more expensive transportation
10 Puget sound. would so enhance the
value of each average crop raised ir
the Inland Empire as TO NET the pro.
ducers s2,5OO,OOO more than can be real.
ized at the present Portland ruling
price. 1t will be observed that no men
tion is made Of profits to be paid out
Of this saving to the Astoria railroad
nor is that matter with which 'tht
producer under common-point arrange
ments would have anything to do. Th'
common-point asked by Astoria is Z
eommon-point on the o. R. & N. lin
and its eastern connections from tn
wheat-producing area. and It does no
contemplate the necessary use or EN-
