BOxweIl Commencement

On last Saturday afternoon, in
the Logan High School room, was
held the first Boxwell Commence
ment of Hooking County.
This county is late in presenting
it's successful Boxwell examined
students In commencement pro-
gram, but through the we'll aimed
efforts of its examiners, this first
exercise was meritorious and de-
serving of commendation. T h e
audience was small but appreciat-
i've, though it reflects with no slight
amount of shame upon the teachers
of the county and those interested
in education that more were not
there to hear a program of inter-
est, and encourage by their pres.
ence the purpose of instituting a
county graduation.
The readings were we'll learned
and well rendered with appropri-
ate bearing. The teachers who
have drilled them or offered sug-
gestions deserve credit for the sue
cess of their work.
The address made by Judge
Wright was excellent, touching up
on the meaning of the occasion,
and its influences. He made SUI
vey of the rapid growth of the
school in town and country, urging
the young class to keep apare with
the demands ever made upon
American intelligence.
Rev. Sayre also made some re.
marks along the speakers theme
encouraging the students TO take
advantage of the privilege that is
granted to Boxwell graduates and
and enter our High School and II
any of them do come to us as pupils
we can feel assured that they will
bring ability and sound honest
principles of work.
The program rendered was as
follows;

The market yesterday exhibited little
tendency, either upward or downward.
Some securities, including Sugar, declined
seriously, and others including Rock Island
and Burlington, made small gains, or at
least held their own. The professionals in
terpreted this waiting mood TO the fact that
the Currency bill has now been passed and
is not TO be looked forward 10, while the
coming bank statement will undoubtedly
be a bad one. They prophesied declines of
rome moment before the statement appears.
II is undoubtedly true that there was some

TRANSPORTS MUST PAY.

Hereafter all United States trans
ports coming to these islands will have
to pay pilot and water charges, as do
all other vessels. Harbor Master Fuller
brought the matter up yesterday. The
territorial Government decided to as
sess Government vessels for pilot fees
and water. The law providing for this
was passed some time ago, and no ex-
ceptions are made. 1t is felt that the
only thing to do is to carry out the
letter of the law. Formerly the matter
of charges was given no attention.
